Derivatives Question: How would I go about solving this question?

OpenStudy (ashvad):

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\(\large\rm (uv)'=u'v+uv'\) Product rule, ya? And then just evaluate everything at 0. \(\large\rm (uv)'(0)=u'(0)v(0)+u(0)v'(0)\) Plugging in the stuff they gave you.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm (uv)'=-5(-1)+8(4)\]Understand that first one?

OpenStudy (ashvad):

Oh yes! Hold on, give me a second to try them/write them down and see what I get... (Working this through my mind)

OpenStudy (ashvad):

Okay, so yes, the first one is 37.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Yes.

OpenStudy (ashvad):

The next should I use the quotient rule?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Yes.

OpenStudy (ashvad):

Would the next be -27?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Ummm, yes good!

OpenStudy (ashvad):

is the next: 27/64?

OpenStudy (ashvad):

Oh! And I think I figured out the last one using the addition subtraction rule that the deriv of the sum/difference of two functions is the sum/difference of the derivatives, and multiplied it out to get 30!

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Yayyy good job \c:/
