Understanding the Quotient Rule in Differentiation

The video tutorial explains how to find the derivative of a function using the quotient rule. It begins with an introduction to derivatives and the quotient rule, followed by a detailed explanation of the rule. The tutorial then applies the quotient rule to specific functions, showing step-by-step calculations. It concludes with simplifying the derivative expression and presenting the final form of the derivative.
