Derivatives - The PRODUCT & QUOTIENT RULES - 3 WS (32 problems)

This resource contains total of 32 problems. Students will practice differentiation of common functions using the product and quotient rules ( they don’t need to apply the chain rule).

The packet has 3 worksheets:

⟐ The first worksheet has the students finding the first derivatives of 16 functions using the differentiation formulas and product rule.
⟐ The second worksheet is finding the first derivatives of 10 functions using using the differentiation formulas and quotient rule.
⟐ The third worksheet is finding the first derivatives of 6 functions using the combination of the product and quotient rules. It contains more complicated problems. These six challenging problems are suitable for advanced calculus students.

The worksheets can be used as class practice, for an extra practice or enrichment, an assessment or homework assignment. It can be also used as a partner activity like this:

⟡ Partner A will solve WS #1 while Partner B solves WS #2, then they swap papers and Partner A will solve WS #2 while Partner B solves WS #1. Once they have completed the work, they compare their results. If there are different answers to one and the same problem, students have to identify and correct any errors. Then partners solve the problems of WS#3 collaborating or each partner may solve half of the WS #3 problems.
