$y = \frac{f}{g} 鈬� y g = f 鈬� \frac{d}{d x} (y g) = \frac{d}{d x} (f) 鈬� y \frac{d g}{d x} + g \frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{d f}{d x} 鈬� g \frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{d f}{d x} - y \frac{d g}{d x} 鈬� \frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{\frac{d f}{d x} - y \frac{d g}{d x}}{g} 鈬� \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{f}{g}) = \frac{\frac{d f}{d x} - \frac{f}{g} \frac{d g}{d x}}{g} 鈬� \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{f}{g}) = \frac{g \frac{d f}{d x} - f \frac{d g}{d x}}{g^{2}}$

Hence proved.

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information

We have to prove the quotient rule of derivative.

That is we have to prove that :-

$\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{f}{g}) = \frac{g \frac{d f}{d x} - f \frac{d g}{d x}}{g^{2}}$

We have to convert quotient to a product. Then we have to use product, quotient and chain rule to prove this rule.

Step 2. Proof of quotient rule

Consider the following quotient :-

$y = \frac{f}{g} 鈬� y g = f$

Take derivative on both sides, then we have :-

$\frac{d}{d x} (y g) = \frac{d}{d x} (f)$

Now use product and chain rule, then we have :-

$y \frac{d g}{d x} + g \frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{d f}{d x} 鈬� g \frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{d f}{d x} - y \frac{d g}{d x} 鈬� \frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{\frac{d f}{d x} - y \frac{d g}{d x}}{g}$

Put the value of $y = \frac{f}{g}$ , then we have :-

role="math" localid="1648663599119" $\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{f}{g}) = \frac{\frac{d f}{d x} - \frac{f}{g} \frac{d g}{d x}}{g} 鈬� \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{f}{g}) = \frac{g \frac{d f}{d x} - f \frac{d g}{d x}}{g^{2}}$

This is the required result.

Hence the quotient rule is proved.
