I need help with this calc problem: find f'(1) if f(x)=(ax+b)(cx-d)

find f'(1) if f(x)=(ax+b)(cx-d)

Please post some of your work, or try to explain where you are stuck. Here are the posting guidelines.

Did you try to differentiate f(x) ?

find f'(1) if f(x)=(ax+b)(cx-d)

To find f'(x), you can either use the product rule as it stands, or expand (distribute to remove parentheses) and then differentiate more easily.

Which way are you trying?

There are several methods one could use to find the derivative. Apparently the method you chose is "ask someone else to do it for you"!
