Answer

In both cases (a. and b.): $h^{\prime}(x)=2x+3$

Work Step by Step

a. Since $ x\cdot(x+3)=x^{2}+3x$, Using the Product , Constant Multiple and Sum rules, $h(x)=x^{2}+3x$, $h^{\prime}(x)=2x+3$ b. $u(x)=x ,\ \ \ v(x)=x+3$ $h(x)=x\cdot x=u(x)v(x)$ $u^{\prime}(x)=1,\ \ \ v^{\prime}(x)=1$ Product Rule: $h^{\prime}(x)=u^{\prime}(x)v(x)+u(x)v^{\prime}(x)$ $= 1(x+3)+x(1)=x+3+x=2x+3$
