Finding the nth Derivative of a Fraction

[EngWiPy]

Hello,

Is there a general form for the nth derivative for a fraction?

Thanks in advance.

Hello saeddawoud!

General form for a product:

(fg)⁽ⁿ⁾ = f⁽ⁿ⁾g + ⁿC₁f^(n-1)g⁽¹⁾ + … + fg⁽ⁿ⁾ …

so the form for f(1/g) is … ?

Thank you, it is really helpful, but how to determine the coefficients of each term in general form?

The coefficients are just the binomial coefficients. That's what the nC1 in Tiny Tim's expression is. Written in summation notation:

$$(fg)^{(n)} = \sum_{k=0}^{n}\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}f^{(n-k)}g^{(k)}$$
