This GeoGebra example demonstrates how to differentiate products and quotients of two user-defined functions. It shows u, v, their derivatives u' and v', the product P=u*v and quotient Q=u/v, and the simplified derivative expressions. Core concepts include derivative rules, product rule, quotient rule, function graphs, and trigonometric simplification. Construction uses InputBox1 and InputBox2 for function entry, objects u, v, u', v', P, Q, SimP, SimQ, TSimP, TSimQ for computation, Simplify and TrigSimplify for algebraic and trigonometric reduction, Textfield and text objects for explanations, and button1 to trigger updates. Suitable for high-school calculus, introductory university calculus, and classroom demonstrations.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw two function graphs based on user input and show their derivative graphs. Display the product and quotient of these functions, along with their simplified derivative expressions. Use input boxes for users to enter functions, calculate and plot the graphs of the functions, their derivatives, the product, and the quotient, while also showing the simplified derivative expressions.
