I need some massive Calc. help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The function h is given by h(x)=cos(kx)[f(x)]+sin(x) for all real numbers, where k is a constant. Find h ′(x) and write an equation for the line tangent to the graph of h at x=0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is the information give: The twice–differentiable function f is defined for all real numbers and satisfies the following conditions: f(0)=3 f ′(0)=5 f ‘’(0)=7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know I have to go from here: lim h->0 (cos(k(x+h))[f(x+h)+sin(x+h)] - cos(k(x))[f(x)+sin(x)]/(h))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or rather: ((cos(k(x+h))[f(x+h)]+sin(x+h)) - (cos(kx)[f(x)]+sin(x)))/h

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

why do you have to do that? just use the product rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh! So the derivative of the constituents multiplied to get the whole derivative?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

\[\frac{d}{dx}[f(x) * g(x)] = f'(x) g(x) + f(x) g'(x)\]right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see. Yes thank you! I need to review these things.
