  1. f = 2, f′ = 3, g = 4, g′ = -1, k = 5, k′ = 2. Ari differentiates p(x) = f(x)g(x)k(x) with the values shown. What is p′(2)?

  2. f = 3, f′ = -1, g = 2, g′ = 2, k = 4, k′ = 1. Esme differentiates p(x) = f(x)g(x)k(x) with the values shown. What is p′(2)?

  3. f = 5, f′ = 2, g = -1, g′ = 3, k = 2, k′ = -2. Jun differentiates p(x) = f(x)g(x)k(x) with the values shown. What is p′(2)?

  4. Dye in a jar has concentration C(t) = 5t/(t² + 4) grams per liter after t minutes (example data). Kira finds C′(1). What is it, in grams per liter per minute?

  5. Dye in a jar has concentration C(t) = 6t/(t² + 16) grams per liter after t minutes (example data). Milo finds C′(2). What is it, in grams per liter per minute?

  6. Dye in a jar has concentration C(t) = 8t/(t² + 1) grams per liter after t minutes (example data). Noah finds C′(3). What is it, in grams per liter per minute?

  7. Pia uses the quotient rule on h(x) = (x² + 1)/(x − 3) and simplifies the top. Which is h′(x)?

    • h′(x) = (x² − 6x − 1)/(x − 3)
    • h′(x) = 2x
    • h′(x) = (−x² + 6x + 1)/(x − 3)²
    • h′(x) = (x² − 6x − 1)/(x − 3)²
  8. Ren uses the quotient rule on h(x) = (x² − 2)/(x + 1) and simplifies the top. Which is h′(x)?

    • h′(x) = (−x² − 2x − 2)/(x + 1)²
    • h′(x) = (x² + 2x + 2)/(x + 1)²
    • h′(x) = (x² + 2x + 2)/(x + 1)
    • h′(x) = 2x
  9. Tala uses the quotient rule on h(x) = (3x + 2)/(x² + 1) and simplifies the top. Which is h′(x)?

    • h′(x) = 3/(2x)
    • h′(x) = (−3x² − 4x + 3)/(x² + 1)
    • h′(x) = (−3x² − 4x + 3)/(x² + 1)²
    • h′(x) = (3x² + 4x − 3)/(x² + 1)²
  10. Zee uses the quotient rule on h(x) = x³/(x + 2) and simplifies the top. Which is h′(x)?

    • h′(x) = 3x²
    • h′(x) = (2x³ + 6x²)/(x + 2)
    • h′(x) = (−2x³ − 6x²)/(x + 2)²
    • h′(x) = (2x³ + 6x²)/(x + 2)²

About this worksheet

The product and quotient rules. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can use the product rule from a table of values or from formulas.
  • I can use the quotient rule in the right order, over g².
  • I can use these rules for rates in context and for three factors.

Standard: none (beyond CCSS)

Words to know

product rule: (fg)′ = f′g + fg′.

quotient rule: (f/g)′ = (f′g − fg′)/g².

revenue: Price times number sold.

Common mistakes

Multiplied the two derivatives. The product rule is f′g + fg′: one factor changes at a time.

Used only one part of the product rule. Each factor's change adds its own term.

Subtracted the quotient rule's top in the wrong order, so the sign flipped. The top is f′g − fg′.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with product and quotient rules?

Multiplied the two derivatives. The product rule is f′g + fg′: one factor changes at a time.
