Julia C.

asked • 02/21/22

If H(x) = g(f(x)), find H'(1)

f(x) f(1)=3 f(2)=1 f(3)=7

g(x) g(1)=2 g(2)=8 g(3)=2

f'(x) f'(1)=4 f'(2)=5 f'(3)=7

g'(x) g'(1)=6 g'(2)=7 g'(3)=9


If H(x) = g(f(x)), find H'(1)


I know I have to use chain rule but I am confused by the steps I think I am setting it up wrong.

How are you setting it up?

g'(f(x)) * f'(x)

You have them in incorrect order. derivative of g of f(x) times derivative of f(x).
