The expression $\lim _{h \to 0} \dfrac {e^{x+h}\sin (x+h)-e^x\sin (x)}{h}$ is the derivative of what function?

$f(x) = e^{x+h}\sin (x+h)$ $f(x) = e^x \sin (x)$ $f(x) = e^{x+h}\sin (x+h) - e^x \sin (x)$ $f(x) = \dfrac {e^{x+h}\sin (x+h) - e^x \sin (x)}{h}$ $f(x) = e^x \left [ \sin (x) + \cos (x) \right ]$

Which of the following statements represent the meaning of $f'(4.2) = 1.7$ ?

1. The slope of the line tangent to the graph of $y = f(x)$ at $x = 4.2$ is $1.7$ .
2. As $x$ increases by $1$ from $x = 4.2$ , $f(x)$ increases by $1.7$ .
3. The limiting value of the average rate of change of $f$ over the interval $[4.2, 4.2+\Delta x]$ as $\Delta x$ approaches zero is $1.7$ .
