03 - Quotient Rule

The document provides examples of using the quotient rule to differentiate functions with respect to x. Some key points: 1) The quotient rule states that the derivative of f(x)/g(x) is (g(x)f'(x) - f(x)g'(x))/(g(x))^2. 2) It provides 10 examples of using the quotient rule to take the derivative of various functions. 3) It asks for a counterexample to disprove a classmate's claim that (f'/g) = (g'/f) for any functions f and g.
