Why does the product rule for differentiating functions work?

Let k(x) = f(x)g(x) then k'(x) = limit as h --> 0 of: (h(x+h)-h(x))/h = lim (f(x+h)g(x+h) - f(x)g(x))/h

We can factorise the numerator as:
f(x+h)g(x+h) - f(x)g(x) =f(x+h)g(x+h) -g(x)...

Well yes! Say you're given an equation of y=f(x), you begin by sketching the graph if plotting it is not part of the question, the reason you do this is to get an idea of what the graph looks like (turnin...
