Short-Answer Questions. Each question is worth 3 marks, but not all questions are of equal difficulty. Full marks will be given for correct answers placed in the box, but at most 1 mark will be given for incorrect answers. Unless otherwise stated, it is not necessary to simplify your answers in this question.
|
Make sure you understand the problem fully: What is the question asking you to do? Are there specific conditions or constraints that you should take note of? How will you know if your answer is correct from your work only? Can you rephrase the question in your own words in a way that makes sense to you? |
If you are stuck, check the hints below. Read the first one and consider it for a while. Does it give you a new idea on how to approach the problem? If so, try it! If after a while you are still stuck, go for the next hint. |
Hint 1 |
---|
Try to run through an algorithm when you want to take a derivative. Ask yourself "Is this a derivative I just 'know'?". If not, ask yourself "Is there a special rule that I can use?" |
Hint 2 |
---|
For this problem, the quotient rule is your friend. The statement is
provided and are differentiable and . |
Checking a solution serves two purposes: helping you if, after having used all the hints, you still are stuck on the problem; or if you have solved the problem and would like to check your work.

Please rate my easiness! It's quick and helps everyone guide their studies. To use the quotient rule we first identify the numerator and the denominator . Then we calculate and . The rest is a walk in the park, just plug it in:
