wait a moment please, I'm trying...
I think that the answer is 6, is it right?
sorry not 6, it is 30
wait I have made an error another time, it is 2*4*3=24, it is right I thinkl!
you have to apply the chain rule in order to calculate the derivative of the function of function g(f(2x)
can you show me and explain like the other questions??
ok!
have to calculate this derivative: d/dx(g(f(2x), now I perform a change of variable, namely z=2x, so our derivative will be: \[\frac{ d g(f(2x))}{ dx }=2\frac{ dg(f(z) }{ dz }\] at point z=2x=2*1=2
now, applying the chain rule we have: \[2\frac{ dg }{ df }\frac{ df }{ dz }\] when z=2, now, when z=2, f(2)=1, f'(2)=3 and g'(1)=4, from your table, so the derivative dg/dz has to be calculate at point f(2)=1, namely g'(1)=4. Substituting all those numerical data, we get: your derivative=2*4*3=24
thanks!!!
