The Quotient Rule is a method in calculus used to find the derivative of a function that is the ratio of two other functions. If you have a function written as f(x) = g(x) / h(x), where g(x) and h(x) are both differentiable functions, the Quotient Rule states that the derivative, f'(x), can be calculated using the formula: f'(x) = (g'(x) * h(x) - g(x) * h'(x)) / (h(x))^2. This helps us understand how the ratio of two changing quantities behaves.
To apply the Quotient Rule, first, you need to find the derivatives of both g(x) and h(x). Then, you
