Rules for finding the elasticity of products and quotients are simpler than those for derivatives. Let f, g be differentiable. Then
The derivative can be expressed in terms of elasticity as
Let a and b be constants. Then

Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“Playing games with agreed upon rules helps children learn to live by rules, establish the delicate balance between competition and cooperation, between fair play and justice and exploitation and abuse of these for personal gain. It helps them learn to manage the warmth of winning and the hurt of losing; it helps them to believe that there will be another chance to win the next time.”
