If f ( x ) = g ( x ) x f(x)=\dfrac{g(x)}{x} , where g ( 2 ) = 4 g(2)=4 and g ( 2 ) = 8 g'(2)=8 , compute f ( 2 ) f'(2) .


The answer is 3.

We are asked to calculate f ( 2 ) f'(2) , when f ( x ) = g ( x ) x f(x)=\frac{g(x)}{x} where g ( 2 ) = 4 g(2) = 4 and g ( 20 = 8 g'(20=8 . To do this, we can use the quotient rule to compute f ( x ) = g ( x ) × x g ( x ) × 1 x 2 f'(x)=\frac{g'(x) \times x-g(x) \times 1}{x^2} f ( 2 ) = 8 × 2 4 × 1 2 2 \Rightarrow f'(2)=\frac{8 \times 2 - 4 \times 1}{2^2} f ( 2 ) = 16 4 4 \Rightarrow f'(2)=\frac{16-4}{4} f ( 2 ) = 3 \Rightarrow \boxed{f'(2)=3}

memorizing the quotient rule do be like 'oof' though
