A small doubt about differentation

OpenStudy (dls):

Why cant we do this: \[f^{'} (2x)=\frac{d}{dx} f(2x)\]

OpenStudy (dls):

@Mashy

OpenStudy (zehanz):

I think we can do this. It will be just like f'(x), but you have to apply the Chain Rule, because 2x is another function. I hope this rings a bell...

OpenStudy (dls):

no..its written its wong

OpenStudy (dls):

the correct way is,perhaps \[\frac{d}{d(2x)} f(2x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you want the derivative of 2x?

OpenStudy (dls):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would be f'(X) = d/dx 2x (sorry for the late reply)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f \prime(x) = \frac{ d }{ dx } 2x\]
