Hello there!
I understand the product rule and how/why it works, and the proof makes sense,
but just out of curiosity, why would it be incorrect on a mathematical/application level to say that d/dx f(x)g(x) = f'(x)g'(x)
I know that it's wrong, and the product rule is the one that we're supposed to use, but I don't understand on a practical level WHY it's wrong.
Please help! Thank you :)
