    Goals
     Justification of the Product and Quotient Rules.
     The computation of derivatives using the above rules.
    Product Rule: Ifh ( x )=f ( x ) ∙ g ( x ) ,where f and g are differentiable functions, then
    ' '
    h ( x )=f ( x ) ∙ g ( x ) + f (x )∙ g' (x)

    a) f ( x )=3 x 6 ( 4 x2−x +2 x−1 )
