Problem 1

We'll use the product rule to say

h(x) = f(x)*g(x)

h ' (x) = f ' (x)*g(x) + f(x)*g ' (x)

Then plug in x = 2 and use the table to fill in the rest

h ' (x) = f ' (x)*g(x) + f(x)*g ' (x)

h ' (2) = f ' (2)*g(2) + f(2)*g ' (2)

h ' (2) = 2*3 + 2*4

h ' (2) = 6 + 8

h ' (2) = 14

<h3>Answer: 14</h3>

============================================================

Problem 2

Now we'll use the quotient rule

$h(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\\\\h'(x) = \frac{f'(x)*g(x)-f(x)*g'(x)}{(g(x))^2}\\\\h'(2) = \frac{f'(2)*g(2)-f(2)*g'(2)}{(g(2))^2}\\\\h'(2) = \frac{2*3-2*4}{(3)^2}\\\\h'(2) = \frac{6-8}{9}\\\\h'(2) = -\frac{2}{9}\\\\$
