Q7 The velocity v(t) = s0 (t) is the derivative of the position function measuring the rate
at which the position is changing.

the rate of change of the velocity, and this make acceleration the second derivative of the
position function.

no, they are not equal, that’s why we need a product rule.

Proof of Product Rule (optional) Let’s explore the proof of the product rule. If f
and g are di↵erentiable at x then:
d⇣ ⌘ f (x + h)g(x + h) f (x)g(x)
f (x)g(x) = lim
dx h!0 h
Now we use a handy tool of subtracting and adding f (x)g(x + h) in the numerator. Can
you double check the proof?
d⇣ ⌘ f (x + h)g(x + h) f (x)g(x) + f (x)g(x + h) f (x)g(x + h)
f (x)g(x) = lim
dx h!0 h
f (x + h) f (x) g(x + h) g(x)
= lim g(x + h) + lim f (x)
h!0 h h!0 h
double check this should be equal to
f 0 (x)g(x) + f (x)g 0 (x)

Is the last step True or False?
