Question
Extended Product Rule The Product Rule can be extended to the product of three functions.
(a) Use the Product Rule twice to prove that if , and
are differentiable, then
(b) Taking in part (a), show that
(c) Use part (b) to differentiate .
Solution
The first step in solving 3.2 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Extended Product Rule The Product Rule can be extended to the product of three functions.(a) Use the Product Rule twice to prove that if , and are differentiable, then (b) Taking in part (a), show that(c) Use part (b) to differentiate .
