   Kira uses the product rule on h(x) = (2x + 1)√x. Which is h′(x)?

   • h′(x) = 1/√x
   • h′(x) = 2√x + (2x + 1)/(2√x)
   • h′(x) = 2√x − (2x + 1)/(2√x)
   • h′(x) = 2√x
5. 5.

   Luz uses the product rule on h(x) = (x² − 3)√x. Which is h′(x)?

   • h′(x) = 2x√x + (x² − 3)/(2√x)
   • h′(x) = 2x√x − (x² − 3)/(2√x)
   • h′(x) = x/√x
   • h′(x) = 2x√x
6. 6.

   Milo uses the product rule on h(x) = (5x − 2)√x. Which is h′(x)?

   • h′(x) = 5√x + (5x − 2)/(2√x)
   • h′(x) = 5√x
   • h′(x) = 5√x − (5x − 2)/(2√x)
   • h′(x) = 5/2/√x
7. 7.

   Noah uses the product rule on h(x) = (x² + 1)√x. Which is h′(x)?

   • h′(x) = 2x√x
   • h′(x) = 2x√x + (x² + 1)/(2√x)
   • h′(x) = 2x√x − (x² + 1)/(2√x)
