Proof of the Quotient Rule Let \(F=f / g\) be the quotient of two functions that are differentiable at \(x\) a. Use the definition of \(F^{\prime}\) to show that \(\frac{d}{d x}\left[\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\right]=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(x+h) g(x)-f(x) g(x+h)}{h g(x+h) g(x)}\) b. Now add \(-f(x) g(x)+f(x) g(x)\) (which equals 0) to the numerator in the preceding limit to obtain $$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(x+h) g(x)-f(x) g(x)+f(x) g(x)-f(x) g(x+h)}{h g(x+h) g(x)}$$ Use this limit to obtain the Quotient Rule. c. Explain why \(F^{\prime}=(f / g)^{\prime}\) exists, whenever \(g(x) \neq 0\)
A challenging derivative Find \(\frac{d y}{d x},\) where \(\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)\left(x^{2}+y^{2}+x\right)=8 x y^{2}\).
Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. \(\frac{d}{d x}\left(\sin ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} x\right)=0\) b. \(\frac{d}{d x}\left(\tan ^{-1} x\right)=\sec ^{2} x\) c. The lines tangent to the graph of \(y=\sin ^{-1} x\) on the interval [-1,1] have a minimum slope of 1 d. The lines tangent to the graph of \(y=\sin x\) on the interval \([-\pi / 2, \pi / 2]\) have a maximum slope of 1 e. If \(f(x)=1 / x,\) then \(\left[f^{-1}(x)\right]^{\prime}=-1 / x^{2}\)
Visualizing tangent and normal lines a. Determine an equation of the tangent line and normal line at the given point \(\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)\) on the following curves. (See instructions for Exercises \(63-68 .)\) b. Graph the tangent and normal lines on the given graph. $$\begin{aligned}&3 x^{3}+7 y^{3}=10 y\\\&\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)=(1,1)\end{aligned}$$
Find \(f^{\prime}(x), f^{\prime \prime}(x),\) and \(f^{\prime \prime \prime}(x)\) \(f(x)=\frac{x^{2}-7 x}{x+1}\)
