Chain Product Quotient - Worksheet

This document provides examples of differentiating functions using the chain, product and quotient rules. It includes: 1) Differentiating various functions including logarithmic, trigonometric, exponential and rational functions. 2) Finding the derivative of a composite function and using it to find the gradient at a point. 3) Taking the derivative of a rational function and using it to find the normal to a curve at a point and where the derivative is 0. 4) Taking the derivative of an exponential-rational function and finding the gradient at a point. 5) Sketching a function involving logarithms and trigonometry, taking its derivative and finding where the derivative is 0.
