Note: The derivative of a product is not the product of the derivatives.
Example 1: Differentiate the function [pic].
Solution:
█
The product rule is used to differentiate the product of two functions.
Product Rule
If [pic], then
[pic]

█
Quotient Rule
If [pic], then
[pic]
[pic]
Example 6: Differentiate the function[pic].
Solution:

Derivatives of the Other Trigonometric Functions
[pic] [pic]
[pic] [pic]
Example 8: Differentiate[pic].
Solution:
█
Example 9: Differentiate[pic].
Solution: Since the first term is the product of two functions of [pic], we must use the product rule. This gives
[pic]
Simplifying the result gives
[pic]

Example 10: Find the equation of the tangent line to the graph of [pic]at the point (3, 0.3).
Solution: To find the equation any line, including a tangent line, we need the slope and at least one point. The point (3, 0.3) is given. To find a formula for calculating the slope of the tangent line, we need to find the derivative of the function, which in this case is done using the quotient rule. We calculate the derivative and simplify as follows:
[pic]
We now find the slope of the tangent line by substituting the x coordinate of the point (3, 0.3) into the derivative. This gives
[pic].
Using [pic] and the point (3, 0.3), we solve of the parameter b in the equation of the tangent line as follows:
[pic]
Hence, the equation of the tangent line is [pic].

The Second Derivative
Since the derivative is itself a function, we can calculate its derivative. The derivative of the first derivative is known as the second derivative.
