Math Problem Statement
Question number 1.
ddx(f(g(x)))
f′(g(x))⋅g′(x)
f(g(x))⋅g′(x)
f′(g′(x))
f(g′(x))⋅f′(x)
None of the above.
Solution
The correct derivative of the composition of two functions, , is found using the chain rule. The chain rule states:
So the correct answer is:
Thus, the first option is correct.
Would you like further explanation on this? Here are some related questions:
- What is the chain rule in calculus, and how is it applied?
- Can you solve a problem involving the chain rule with trigonometric functions?
- How do you differentiate a product of functions, and is the chain rule applicable?
- How does the chain rule extend to functions of multiple variables?
- What is the difference between the chain rule and the product rule in differentiation?
Tip: When applying the chain rule, always remember to differentiate the "outer" function first, followed by the derivative of the "inner" function.
