This is repeated chain rule: \[ h(x) = g(f(3x)) \implies h'(x) = g'(f(3x)) \cdot f'(3x) \cdot 3 = 3g'(f(3x))f'(3x) \] Plug in 1 and use the table to solve.

can you please show me the steps

@dan815 can you please help? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To plug in 1 and solve, or to do the derivation?

If h(x) = g(x), then h ' (x) = g ' (x) agreed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now let's say h(x) = g[ f(x) ] we will use the chain rule to get h ' (x) = g' [ f(x) ] * f ' (x) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so we can keep this going to go as deep as we need to h(x) = g[ f(3x) ] h ' (x) = g' [ f(3x) ] * f ' (3x) * 3 h ' (x) = 3*g' [ f(3x) ] * f ' (3x) as adotm pointed out above

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

from there, you plug in x = 1 and evaluate (like you see on the attached image)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perfect! thank u so much :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you please help me with a couple more?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'll help with one more
