Question 8

EasyOriginal question

Differentiable functions ff and gg have g(1)=2g(1) = 2, g′(1)=−4g'(1) = -4, f′(1)=7f'(1) = 7 and f′(2)=3f'(2) = 3. What is the derivative of f(g(x))f(g(x)) at x=1x = 1?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. ddxf(g(x))=f′(g(x))⋅g′(x)\frac{d}{dx} f(g(x)) = f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x).

  2. At 1: f′(g(1))⋅g′(1)=f′(2)×(−4)=3×(−4)=−12f'(g(1)) \cdot g'(1) = f'(2) \times (-4) = 3 \times (-4) = -12.

Worth noting

−28-28 uses f′(1)f'(1); the outer derivative is taken at the inside value g(1)=2g(1) = 2.
