1. can algebra be used to rewrite fxn so that diff can be easier ?
ex. y=cos(x)/(x+1)^2 y' is found using qoutient rule but...
y=cos(x)*(x+1)^-2 y' is now found using product rule
2. can other techniques such as logarithmic differentiation
simplify fxn ?
3. the less steps required to completely diff. the less chance for
error
off the record: i never liked nor used the quot. rule good algebra can often simplify the prob by reducing the complexity of the diff. rule used

To know all required formulas and to be accurate.

HAVE A LOADS OF PATIENCE..IF THE EQUATION IS LONG!!!! AND DONT GET UPSET IF YOU SEE SINX COSX OR e^x, JUST BE CALM!
