Read each question carefully and apply the quotient rule to find the derivative of the given functions. Show all your work.
1. Find the derivative of the function f(x) = (3x - 1) / (x^2 + 1).
2. Differentiate the function g(x) = sin(x) / cos(x).
3. Determine the derivative of h(x) = (e^x) / (x^3).
The Quotient Rule states that if f(x) = g(x) / h(x), then f'(x) = (h(x) * g'(x) - g(x) * h'(x)) / ( ).
1. Which of the following is the correct application of the quotient rule for y = u/v?
y' = (vu' + uv') / v^2
y' = (vu' - uv') / v^2
y' = (uv' - vu') / v^2
y' = (uv' + vu') / v^2
1. The quotient rule is only applicable when both the numerator and denominator are differentiable functions.
True
False
1. Find the derivative of the function y = (x^2 + 2x - 3) / (x^3 - 4x).
