What is the correct formula for the derivative of a quotient of two functions?

• (f'g' - fg)/g^2

• (f'g + fg')/g^2

• (f'g - fg')/g^2

• (f'/g') - (f/g')

In the example of y = (3x + 1) / (2x - 5), what is the derivative of the numerator function?

• 2

What is the derivative of tangent x using the quotient rule?

• sin^2 x

• tan^2 x

• cos^2 x

• sec^2 x

Which trigonometric identity is used to simplify the derivative of tangent x?
