Use the Quotient Rule to calculate the following derivative.
Find if
.
We are asked to evaluate the derivative of the function w at z = 25.
Recognizing that is a quotient of two functions, we will need to use the Quotient Rule to calculate its derivative.
Recall the Quotient Rule for differentiation.
If f and g are differentiable functions, then is differentiable for all x such that and
A. |
B. |
Let . We need to find f'(z) and g'(z) substitute into the quotient rule. Use the power rule and the sum rule to find f'(z) and g'(z).
The numerator of is
, so
.
Find and simplify using the quotient rule with substituting
and
where appropriate.
,
where n = .
Find by substituting z = 25 into
.
