Quotient Rule

The quotient rule differentiates one function divided by another: if $y=\frac{u}{v}$, then $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{v\frac{du}{dx}-u\frac{dv}{dx}}{v^{2}}$. The order of the two terms in the numerator matters, since subtraction is not commutative, so care is needed to place them correctly.

You meet Quotient Rule in the Differentiation chapter of SPM Additional Mathematics. Knowing the term precisely matters in the exam: questions often hinge on reading a keyword correctly, and because SPM marking is analytic, using the right definition in your working helps secure method marks.

Our teachers make sure a student can not only recite what Quotient Rule means but use it fluently in a full solution.

Because the SPM Add Math paper is bilingual (BM/EN), it helps to know this term in each language: Quotient Rule (EN) · Petua Hasil Bahagi (BM) · 商法则 (中文)
