serious help with a calc problem!medal!

hartnn (hartnn):

use chain rule : \(h(x) =g[f(3x)] \\ h'(x) = ... ?\)

hartnn (hartnn):

example : \(\Large j(x) = f[(k(4x+9))] \\ \Large j'(x) = 4f'[k(4x+9)]k'(4x+9)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3f'(3x)g'(f(3x))

hartnn (hartnn):

yesh now to get \(\Large h'(1)\) plug in x=1

hartnn (hartnn):

in your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h?

hartnn (hartnn):

whats your doubt?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh! didnt see the second thing you wrote

hartnn (hartnn):

to find \(h'(1) \\ from ~~h'(x) \\ plug ~ in~ x=1\)

hartnn (hartnn):

okk :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3f'(3)g'(f(3))

hartnn (hartnn):

now get f(3) from the table

hartnn (hartnn):

f(3) is in f(x) when x=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i plug in 3 for f?

hartnn (hartnn):

you see f(x) row get the value in the column where x=3 that gives you f(3)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think, that: \[h'(1)=\lim _{f(3x)\rightarrow f(3)}\frac{ g(f(3x))-g(f(3)) }{ f(3x)-f(3) }*\] \[*\lim _{y \rightarrow 3}\frac{ f(y)-f(3) }{ y-3 }*\lim _{x \rightarrow1}\frac{ 3x-3 }{ x-1 }=...\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 2 right? @hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

yes f(3) = 2

hartnn (hartnn):

still wondering what michele did

hartnn (hartnn):

from the same table find f'(3) too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I have applied the definition of derivative of composite function, and that I change variable in limit operations

hartnn (hartnn):

3f'(3)g'(f(3)) = 3 (1) g'(2) = .. whats g'(2) =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5(:

hartnn (hartnn):

= 3 (1) g'(2) = 3(1)(5) = 15 Michele, you get 15 too?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

which is equal to my result, since: \[h'(1)=g'(f(3))*f'(3)*3=5*1*3=15\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same answer , different method(: thank you guys!!

hartnn (hartnn):

thanks for the alternate method Michele :D

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thanks! @hartnn @mondona
