Section 2.3 – The Product and Quotient Rules and Higher-Order
Derivatives
The Product RuleThe derivative of a product of functions is NOT the product
of the derivatives.
If f and g are both differentiable, then
In other words, the derivative of a product of two functions is the first function times the derivative of the second function plus the second function times the derivative of the first function.

The Quotient RuleThe derivative of a quotient of functions is NOT the quotient
of the derivatives.
If f and g are both differentiable, then
In other words, the derivative of a quotient is the denominator times the derivative of the numerator minus the numerator times the derivative of the denominator, all divided by the square of the denominator.

We have just differentiated the derivative of a function. Because the derivative of a function is a function,
differentiation can be applied over and over as long as the derivative is a differentiable function.

You should note that all higher-order derivatives of a
polynomial p(x) will also be polynomials, and if p has degree n, then p(n)(x) = 0 for
k ≥ n+1.

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.
Find the average rate of change of velocity for times that are close and enclose time 5.

Instantaneous AccelerationIf s = s(t) is the position function of an object that moves in
a straight line, we know that its first derivative represents the velocity v(t) of the object as a function of time.
The instantaneous rate of change of velocity with respect to time is called the acceleration a(t) of an object. Thus, the acceleration function is the derivative of the velocity function and is therefore the second derivative of the position function.

Position, Velocity, and Acceleration
Position, Velocity, and Acceleration are related in the following manner:
Position:
Velocity:
Acceleration:
( )s t
'( ) ( )s t v t
Units = Measure of length (ft, m, km, etc)
The object is…Moving right/up when v(t) > 0Moving left/down when v(t) < 0Still or changing directions when v(t) = 0
Units = Distance/Time (mph, m/s, ft/hr, etc)Speed = absolute value of v(t)
s' ' t v ' t a t Units = (Distance/Time)/Time (m/s2)

Speeding Up and Slowing DownAn object is SPEEDING UP when the following occur:
• Algebraic: If the velocity and the acceleration agree in sign
• Graphical: If the curve is moving AWAY from the x-axis
An object is traveling at a CONSTANT SPEED when the following occur:
• Algebraic: Velocity is constant and acceleration is 0.
• Graphically: The velocity curve is horizontal
An object is SLOWING DOWN when the following occur:
• Algebraic: Velocity and acceleration disagree in sign
• Graphically: The velocity curve is moving towards the x-axis
Example 1The velocity of a particle moving left and right with respect to
an origin is graphed below. Complete the following:
1. Find the average acceleration between time 2 and time 6.
2. Graph the particle’s acceleration where it exists.

Sketch a graph of the function that describes the velocity of a particle moving up and down with the following characteristics:
The particle’s velocity is defined on [0,8]
The particle is only slowing down on
(1,3)U(4,7)
The acceleration is never 0.
Example 3The position of a particle is given by the equation
where t is measured in seconds and s in meters.
