- Each of the problems below involves a combination of two of the following: product rule, quotient rule, chain rule. Give them a shot!
Answer key note: the answers below are simplified, in some cases more so than I’d expect you to on a quiz or exam, but it is still good practice to try to simplify and see if you got the same thing I did.ans
