Complicated Derivative Problem:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

h(x) = f^3(g(x)) h'(x) = 3f^2(g(x)) * g'(x) by the chain rule

OpenStudy (amistre64):

close

OpenStudy (amistre64):

h(x) = (f(g(x)))^3 h'(x) = 3(f(g(x)))^2 * f'(g(x)) * g'(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup okay I got that far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait...oh I see i made an error when using the chain rule

OpenStudy (amistre64):

h'(1) = 3(f(g(1)))^2 * f'(g(1)) * g'(1) h'(1) = 3(f(3))^2 * f'(3) * 3 h'(1) = 3(2)^2 * 5 * 3

OpenStudy (amistre64):

h'(1) = 180 by chance?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats strange, I got 300, let me check my work :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isnt g'(1)=5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

instead of 3?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yeah, trying to flip back and forth between windows tends to mess me up alot more than usual

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol XD sorry about that

OpenStudy (amistre64):

concept is good tho :)
