Find the derivative of h(x)=(x-2)(2x+3)?

This is in the chapter before introducing the product rule, so I guess you're not suppose to do it that way. Why wouldn't you need to use the product rule here?

    h(x) = (x-2)(2x+3)

    h(x) = 2x^2 - x - 6

    h'(x) = 4x - 1

    (x-2)(2x+3)=2x^2 - x -6

    whose derivative is 4x-1

    (x-2)(2x+3)

    2x2-x-6

    =4x-1

    (ps and remember when finding the derivative its always d/dx)

    Hope this helps:))) ! x
