Textbook Question
Use the given graphs of f and g to find each derivative. <IMAGE>
c. d/dx ((f(x) / g(x)) |x=3

1
Identify the functions f(x) and g(x) from the provided graphs, ensuring you understand their behavior at x = 3.
Recall the Quotient Rule for derivatives, which states that if you have a function h(x) = f(x) / g(x), then h'(x) = (g(x)f'(x) - f(x)g'(x)) / (g(x))^2.
Evaluate f(3) and g(3) using the graphs to find the values of the functions at x = 3.
Determine f'(3) and g'(3) by analyzing the slopes of the tangent lines to the graphs of f and g at x = 3.
Substitute the values of f(3), g(3), f'(3), and g'(3) into the Quotient Rule formula to find the derivative at x = 3.
