1. 1.

   Ari differentiates h(x) = e^(2x) sin x, which needs two rules. Which is h′(x)?

   • h′(x) = 2e^(2x) sin x
   • h′(x) = e^(2x) sin x + e^(2x) cos x
   • h′(x) = 2e^(2x) sin x − e^(2x) cos x
   • h′(x) = 2e^(2x) sin x + e^(2x) cos x
2. 2.

   Bo differentiates h(x) = x² cos(3x), which needs two rules. Which is h′(x)?

   • h′(x) = −3x² sin(3x)
   • h′(x) = 2x cos(3x) + 3x² sin(3x)
   • h′(x) = 2x cos(3x) − x² sin(3x)
   • h′(x) = 2x cos(3x) − 3x² sin(3x)
3. 3.

   Esme differentiates h(x) = x ln(5x), which needs two rules. Which is h′(x)?

   • h′(x) = ln(5x) + 1/5
   • h′(x) = ln(5x) − 1
   • h′(x) = ln(5x) + 1
   • h′(x) = 1
4. 4.

   Jun differentiates h(x) = x³e^(−2x), which needs two rules. Which is h′(x)?

   • h′(x) = 3x²e^(−2x) + 2x³e^(−2x)
   • h′(x) = 3x²e^(−2x) − 2x³e^(−2x)
   • h′(x) = 3x²e^(−2x) + x³e^(−2x)
   • h′(x) = −2x³e^(−2x)
