Using these two Points (3,6) (3.1,6.3) h'(3) if h(x)=(f(x))^4 Can Anyone Help Solve this? Calculate the Derivative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the chain rule to find h'(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you given f(x) ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is some missing info....please give the original problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no need use the points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ h(x) = [f(x)]^4\\ h'(x)=4[f(x)]^3f'(x) \] now, when x = 3, h = 6 -> point 1 and when dx = 0.1, h' = 0.3 -> point 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its asking what h'(3)= i tried 6 it didnt work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correction ... i think the points given are is (x,f(x)) so, when x = 3, f(3) = 6 and when dx=0.1, f'(3) = 0.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, $$h'(3) = 4[f(3)]^3f'(3)=4\times(6)^3\times0.3=1.2\times216=259.2$$
