Use the table below to evaluate d/dx [f[g(2x)]] at x = 1 x 1 2 3 4 f(x) 6 1 8 2 f '(x) 6 1 8 2 g(x) 1 4 4 3 g '(x) 9 5 5 -4

first we need to differentiate using chain rule

myininaya (myininaya):

(2x)'=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

myininaya (myininaya):

and of course derivative of g is g' and derivative of f is f' so you have 2*g'(2x)*f'(g(2x))

myininaya (myininaya):

now input 1 for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so ive got 2*9*f'(4)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would that be 2*9*2?

myininaya (myininaya):

hmm... I understand how you got everything except that 9 that number should be something else

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 5 instead of 9

myininaya (myininaya):

g'(2) look at x=2 on the table and then find g'(x)

myininaya (myininaya):

oh yes 5 is right

myininaya (myininaya):

sorry ignored your correction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its okay. so would that mean 2*5*2=20. Is 20 my answer?

myininaya (myininaya):

looks great to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!
