Order of Operations Attempt

Ok. This will not work for EVERY problem you encounter but it will help I think.

1. Product/Quotient Rule (if it is not inside parenthesis)
2. Exponent Rule
3. Trig Rules/log rules, trig inverse rules, e rules


You work from the outside in. So if the quotient is inside a log you would skip to three because it would be inside parenthesis. Or if a fraction is raised to an exponent then you would default to step 2 because it is inside parenthesis. I hope this helps!

  1. I need to print this out and copy it down 2345 times. Now I may actually get somewhere in my problems.
