We do an example of finding a derivative. This is a nice problem for Calculus 1 students because you can actually avoid using the quotient rule in this problem. This is because the denominator is a monomial and whenever you have rational function like this where the denominator is a monomial and it simplifies after breaking up, then it's easier to break it up first instead of using the quotient rule. I hope this helps someone who is learning Calculus.
