This resource includes notes, examples, and assignment problems that include the following concepts.

· Using the product rule to take the derivative of a monomial times a binomial

· Using the product rule to take the derivative of a monomial times a trinomial

· Using the product rule to take the derivative of a binomial times a binomial

· Using the product rule to take the derivative of a binomial times a trinomial

· Using the product rule to take the derivative of a binomial squared

· Using the product rule to take the derivative of a binomial cubed

· Using the product rule to take the derivative of the product of three binomials

· Writing the equation of the tangent line by finding a derivative that could involve the product rule

· Analyze the x axis motion given a position function that is a product.

Comments about applications:

· I typically introduce tangent lines and x axis motion when I teach the power rule.

· In all subsequent derivative assignments (product rule, quotient rule …) I include one of each so students practice applications in every assignment.
