Suppose that for a function f(x) we know that f(3)=5 and f ' (3)=7 We also 'have that g(x)=x^2*f(x) Find the equation of the line tangent to g(x) at x=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you give me g'(x) = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um wouln't it just be x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no... g(x) = x^2*f(x) so use the product rule.... g'(x) = [x^2]'*f(x) + x^2*[f'(x)] = {simplify.....}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^4*f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did u get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait sorry 2fx^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no... use the product rule i showed above...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am really confused I don't know how to do it any other way
