Question Number 12576 by tawa last updated on 26/Apr/17

Given two functions f(x) and g(x) with f(1) = 7, g(2) = 1 , f′(1) = 204  and g′(x) = 22. What is the derivative of  f(g(x)) at x = 2

$$\mathrm{Given}\:\mathrm{two}\:\mathrm{functions}\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{g}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\:\mathrm{with}\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{7},\:\mathrm{g}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{1}\:,\:\mathrm{f}'\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{204} \\ $$$$\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{g}'\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{22}.\:\mathrm{What}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{derivative}\:\mathrm{of}\:\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{g}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\right)\:\mathrm{at}\:\mathrm{x}\:=\:\mathrm{2} \\ $$

(df/dx)=((df(g))/dg)×((dg(x))/dx)=f′(g(x))×g′(x)  =f′(g(2))×g′(2)=f′(1)×g′(2)=204×22  =4488

$$\frac{{df}}{{dx}}=\frac{{df}\left({g}\right)}{{dg}}×\frac{{dg}\left({x}\right)}{{dx}}={f}'\left({g}\left({x}\right)\right)×{g}'\left({x}\right) \\ $$$$={f}'\left({g}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\right)×{g}'\left(\mathrm{2}\right)={f}'\left(\mathrm{1}\right)×{g}'\left(\mathrm{2}\right)=\mathrm{204}×\mathrm{22} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{4488} \\ $$
