Use this tool to efficiently calculate the derivative of a quotient between two functions.
Quotient Rule Calculator
Use this calculator to quickly find the derivative of a function using the quotient rule.
How to Use the Quotient Rule Calculator
To calculate the derivative of a function using the quotient rule:
- Enter your numerator function f(x) in the first input box.
- Enter your denominator function g(x) in the second input box.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the result.
How it Calculates
The quotient rule states that the derivative of f(x)/g(x) is:
(g(x) * f'(x) – f(x) * g'(x)) / (g(x))^2
This calculator uses the quotient rule formula to determine the derivative of the given functions.
Limitations
This calculator uses standard mathematical notations for input functions. It has limitations, such as not handling implicit differentiation, higher-order derivatives directly, or functions that cannot be derived using symbolic differentiation. Ensure the input is a proper mathematical expression.
