Question
The values of the functions f and g and their derivatives for x=1 and x=8 are shown in the following table.
Let h(x)=f(x)g(x).
Find h(1).

[3]
b.
Markscheme
expressing h(1) as a product of f(1) and g(1) (A1)
egf(1)×g(1), 2(9)
h(1)=18 A1 N2
[2 marks]
a.
attempt to use product rule (do not accept h′=f′×g′) (M1)
egh′=fg′+gf′, h′(8)=f′(8)g(8)+g′(8)f(8)
correct substitution of values into product rule (A1)
egh′(8)=4(5)+2(−3), −6+20
h′(8)=14 A1 N2
