Let k,n be natural numbers with k≥1, let U be an open subset of Euclidean space Rn, and let f,g:U→R be maps of class Ck on U.
(i) The pointwise product (fg):U→R, defined by (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x) for x∈U, is of class Ck on U.
(ii) If g(x)=0 for every x∈U, then the pointwise quotient f/g:U→R, defined by (f/g)(x)=f(x)/g(x) for x∈U, is of class Ck on U.
