Week 6 is done and with that I’m ⅙ of the way done with this class. This week we talked more about the rules for finding derivatives. These rules made everything so much easier. Like couldn’t we have known about these sooner? No we had to do things the hard way first. I’m starting to feel like all math teacher like to torture us with complicated things when there are easier ways to do it. My dad does this too! Ugh, math teachers. Anyway the rules for derivatives are pretty nice. Other than the quotient one. That one kind of sucks but it’s still easier than having to use lim h->0 of f(x+h)-f(x)/h. That thing really sucks. I understood everything we did this week. It was pretty straight forward. The power rule is going to be in a picture down below because I don’t really feel like trying to write it out. It’s really easy though so that’s really nice. The product rule is f*g’+f’*g. Pretty easy. The quotient rule is (the derivative of the bottom times the top)-(the derivative of the top times the bottom)/the bottom squared. Not as easy but still not too bad.
