    Is the Quotient Rule Necessary for Derivatives in All Cases?

    Yes that clears things up, thanks guys. Is this right?: When one function is being divided by another (i.e. f(x)/g(x)), and you can't simplify it any further, and you want to take the derivative, then you use the quotient rule. If, on the other hand, in the same situation, you want to find the...

    Is the Quotient Rule Necessary for Derivatives in All Cases?

    I am a little confused about when to use the quotient rule. When you have one function over another function, and are taking the derivative, are you required to use this technique? I thought you were, but then I was watching this video on Khan Academy...
