help calculus question

iwanttogotostanford:

Which one of the following statements is false? the derivative with respect to x of the quotient of the quantity g of x and f(x) equals the quotient f of x times g prime of x minus g of x times f prime of x and the square of f of x If f and g are differentiable, then the derivative with respect to x of the product of f of x and g of x equals the product of f prime of x and g prime of x. If f and g are differentiable, then the derivative with respect to x of the square root of f of x equals the quotient of f of x and 2 times the square root of f prime of x. None of these statements are false.

iwanttogotostanford:

i really need help!

HuskyNation:

wow calculus is hard do u have a teacher? Because i know my virtural school teacher would not mind if i gave him or her a call if i needed help and they would be more then happy to explain it to you

iwanttogotostanford:

i just need the answer really haha its a study guide so i haven't even learned it yet but its for a grade so its important

HuskyNation:

ahh got it

iwanttogotostanford:

do you know of anyone on here who knows this stuff??

iwanttogotostanford:

and yep just the answer

HuskyNation:

i do but they are not online try mathmale and satellite

iwanttogotostanford:

they don't give out answers ever

mathmale:

Right. I insist in helping you in ways that lead to your understanding of the material. Did you ever finish that problem involving h(x) = f ( f(x) ) and its derivative?

mathmale:

Right. My number one goal is to help you understand the material you're studying.

mathmale:

Were these three answer choices given to you in words, or in mathematical symbols? I'd guess you'd find them less intimidating if you'd switch to symbolic statements. For example: the second one looks like this: If f and g are differentiable, then the derivative with respect to x of the product of f of x and g of x equals the product of f prime of x and g prime of x. ... "then the derivative (d/dx)[f(x) * g(x)] equals f '(x) * g '(x). Have you looked up the "product rule" for differentiation? If you do, you'll soon be able to decide whether the above statement is true or false. Good luck!

iwanttogotostanford:

If h(x) = f[f(x)] use the table of values for f and f ′ to find the value of h ′(1). x f(x) f ′(x) 1 3 2 2 1 5 3 6 7
