## Find the Derivative using the Chain Rule and Quotient Rule

In this tutorial students learn how to evaluate the derivative of a function.  The students will use the chain rule, power rule and quotient rule.

Power Rule

$y'={ nx }^{ n-1 }$

Quotient Rule

$y'=\frac { uv'-u'v }{ { u }^{ 2 } }$

Chain Rule

$F(x)=g'(h(x))\bullet h'(x)$

The students are going to find the derivative of the following function.

$y=({ \frac { 1+x }{ 1-x } })^{ 3 }$

The student will apply formulas to find derivatives. This will include

1. a) derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions;
2. b) derivations of sums, products, quotients, inverses, and composites (chain rule) of elementary functions;
3. c) derivatives of implicitly defined functions; and
4. d) higher order derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic, functions.
