|---|
| 1. Product Rule |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(f(x)g(x))=f(x)g'(x)+f'(x)g(x)} |
| 2. Quotient Rule |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}\bigg(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\bigg)=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-f(x)g'(x)}{(g(x))^2}} |
| 3. Power Rule |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(x^n)=nx^{n-1}} |
| 4. Chain Rule |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(f(g(x)))=f'(g(x))g'(x)} |
Solution:
(a)
| Step 1: |
|---|
| Using the Quotient Rule, we have |

| Step 2: |
|---|
| Now, we use the Product Rule to get |

(b)
| Step 1: |
|---|
| First, we have |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle g'(x)=(\sqrt{x})'+\bigg(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\bigg)'+(\sqrt{\pi})'.} |
| Step 2: |
|---|
| Since Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \pi} is a constant, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \sqrt{\pi}} is also a constant. |
| Hence, |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (\sqrt{\pi})'=0.} |

(c)
| Step 1: |
|---|
| First, using the Chain Rule, we have |

| Step 2: |
|---|
| Now, using the Quotient Rule, we get |
