Question

I need an explanation. On how they found the points on the graph, and also why they found h'(-1) even though h'(1) was asked to be found. 

### Problem:
Given \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) are both piecewise functions as shown in the graph above, if \( h(x) = f(x) \cdot g(x) \), find \( h'(1) \).

### Solution:

1. Evaluate \( f(-1) \):
   \[
   f(-1) = -8
   \]

2. Find \( f'(-1) \) (the derivative is the slope of the tangent line at \( x = -1 \)):
   \[
   f'(-1) = 3
   \]

3. Evaluate \( g(-1) \):
   \[
   g(-1) = 4
   \]

4. Find \( g'(-1) \) (the derivative is the slope of the tangent line at \( x = -1 \)):
   \[
   g'(-1) = -1
   \]

5. Use the product rule to find \( h'(-1) \):
   \[
   h'(-1) = f(-1) \cdot g'(-1) + g(-1) \cdot f'(-1)
   \]

6. Substitute the known values:
   \[
   h'(-1) = (-8) \cdot (-1) + (4) \cdot (3)
   \]

7. Calculate \( h'(-1) \):
   \[
   h'(-1) = 20
   \]

### Graph Explanation:
The graph displays two piecewise functions, \( f(x) \) in red and \( g(x) \) in blue, plotted on a Cartesian plane. The x-axis ranges from -7 to 10, and the y-axis ranges from -10 to 10. Points of intersection and changes in slopes are critical for evaluating values and derivatives at specific points.
