Math Problem StatementUse the table to calculate values including (f · g)(0), h'(0) where h(x) = f(g(x)), f(f(0)), (f/g)'(-2), (f · g)'(-2), and (f - g)'(-2).
SolutionLet's solve the provided problems using the table of values.
1. ( f ⋅ g ) ( 0 ) (f \cdot g)(0) ( f ⋅ g ) ( 0 )
This is the product of f ( 0 ) f(0) f ( 0 ) and g ( 0 ) g(0) g ( 0 ) :
( f ⋅ g ) ( 0 ) = f ( 0 ) ⋅ g ( 0 ) = 2 ⋅ 1 = 2 (f \cdot g)(0) = f(0) \cdot g(0) = 2 \cdot 1 = 2 ( f ⋅ g ) ( 0 ) = f ( 0 ) ⋅ g ( 0 ) = 2 ⋅ 1 = 2
2. h ′ ( 0 ) h'(0) h ′ ( 0 ) where h ( x ) = f ( g ( x ) ) h(x) = f(g(x)) h ( x ) = f ( g ( x ))
To find h ′ ( x ) h'(x) h ′ ( x ) , use the chain rule:
h ′ ( x ) = f ′ ( g ( x ) ) ⋅ g ′ ( x ) h'(x) = f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x) h ′ ( x ) = f ′ ( g ( x )) ⋅ g ′ ( x )
At x = 0 x = 0 x = 0 :
h ′ ( 0 ) = f ′ ( g ( 0 ) ) ⋅ g ′ ( 0 ) = f ′ ( 1 ) ⋅ g ′ ( 0 ) h'(0) = f'(g(0)) \cdot g'(0) = f'(1) \cdot g'(0) h ′ ( 0 ) = f ′ ( g ( 0 )) ⋅ g ′ ( 0 ) = f ′ ( 1 ) ⋅ g ′ ( 0 )
From the table:
f ′ ( 1 ) = 4 f'(1) = 4 f ′ ( 1 ) = 4
g ′ ( 0 ) = 2 g'(0) = 2 g ′ ( 0 ) = 2
Thus:
h ′ ( 0 ) = 4 ⋅ 2 = 8 h'(0) = 4 \cdot 2 = 8 h ′ ( 0 ) = 4 ⋅ 2 = 8
3. f ( f ( 0 ) ) f(f(0)) f ( f ( 0 ))
We first find f ( 0 ) f(0) f ( 0 ) and then apply f f f again:
f ( 0 ) = 2 and f ( 2 ) = 10 f(0) = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad f(2) = 10 f ( 0 ) = 2 and f ( 2 ) = 10
So:
f ( f ( 0 ) ) = f ( 2 ) = 10 f(f(0)) = f(2) = 10 f ( f ( 0 )) = f ( 2 ) = 10
4. ( f g ) ′ ( − 2 ) (\frac{f}{g})'(-2) ( g f ) ′ ( − 2 )
For the derivative of f g \frac{f}{g} g f , use the quotient rule:
( f g ) ′ ( x ) = f ′ ( x ) g ( x ) − f ( x ) g ′ ( x ) ( g ( x ) ) 2 \left( \frac{f}{g} \right)'(x) = \frac{f'(x)g(x) - f(x)g'(x)}{(g(x))^2} ( g f ) ′ ( x ) = ( g ( x ) ) 2 f ′ ( x ) g ( x ) − f ( x ) g ′ ( x )
At x = − 2 x = -2 x = − 2 :
( f g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = f ′ ( − 2 ) g ( − 2 ) − f ( − 2 ) g ′ ( − 2 ) ( g ( − 2 ) ) 2 \left( \frac{f}{g} \right)'(-2) = \frac{f'(-2)g(-2) - f(-2)g'(-2)}{(g(-2))^2} ( g f ) ′ ( − 2 ) = ( g ( − 2 ) ) 2 f ′ ( − 2 ) g ( − 2 ) − f ( − 2 ) g ′ ( − 2 )
From the table:
f ′ ( − 2 ) = − 2 f'(-2) = -2 f ′ ( − 2 ) = − 2
g ( − 2 ) = 1 g(-2) = 1 g ( − 2 ) = 1
f ( − 2 ) = 6 f(-2) = 6 f ( − 2 ) = 6
g ′ ( − 2 ) = − 2 g'(-2) = -2 g ′ ( − 2 ) = − 2
Thus:
( f g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = ( − 2 ) ( 1 ) − ( 6 ) ( − 2 ) ( 1 ) 2 = − 2 + 12 1 = 10 \left( \frac{f}{g} \right)'(-2) = \frac{(-2)(1) - (6)(-2)}{(1)^2} = \frac{-2 + 12}{1} = 10 ( g f ) ′ ( − 2 ) = ( 1 ) 2 ( − 2 ) ( 1 ) − ( 6 ) ( − 2 ) = 1 − 2 + 12 = 10
5. ( f ⋅ g ) ′ ( − 2 ) (f \cdot g)'(-2) ( f ⋅ g ) ′ ( − 2 )
For the derivative of f ⋅ g f \cdot g f ⋅ g , use the product rule:
( f ⋅ g ) ′ ( x ) = f ′ ( x ) g ( x ) + f ( x ) g ′ ( x ) (f \cdot g)'(x) = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x) ( f ⋅ g ) ′ ( x ) = f ′ ( x ) g ( x ) + f ( x ) g ′ ( x )
At x = − 2 x = -2 x = − 2 :
( f ⋅ g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = f ′ ( − 2 ) g ( − 2 ) + f ( − 2 ) g ′ ( − 2 ) (f \cdot g)'(-2) = f'(-2)g(-2) + f(-2)g'(-2) ( f ⋅ g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = f ′ ( − 2 ) g ( − 2 ) + f ( − 2 ) g ′ ( − 2 )
Substitute the values from the table:
f ′ ( − 2 ) = − 2 f'(-2) = -2 f ′ ( − 2 ) = − 2
g ( − 2 ) = 1 g(-2) = 1 g ( − 2 ) = 1
f ( − 2 ) = 6 f(-2) = 6 f ( − 2 ) = 6
g ′ ( − 2 ) = − 2 g'(-2) = -2 g ′ ( − 2 ) = − 2
Thus:
( f ⋅ g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = ( − 2 ) ( 1 ) + ( 6 ) ( − 2 ) = − 2 − 12 = − 14 (f \cdot g)'(-2) = (-2)(1) + (6)(-2) = -2 - 12 = -14 ( f ⋅ g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = ( − 2 ) ( 1 ) + ( 6 ) ( − 2 ) = − 2 − 12 = − 14
6. ( f − g ) ′ ( − 2 ) (f - g)'(-2) ( f − g ) ′ ( − 2 )
For the derivative of f − g f - g f − g :
( f − g ) ′ ( x ) = f ′ ( x ) − g ′ ( x ) (f - g)'(x) = f'(x) - g'(x) ( f − g ) ′ ( x ) = f ′ ( x ) − g ′ ( x )
At x = − 2 x = -2 x = − 2 :
( f − g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = f ′ ( − 2 ) − g ′ ( − 2 ) (f - g)'(-2) = f'(-2) - g'(-2) ( f − g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = f ′ ( − 2 ) − g ′ ( − 2 )
From the table:
f ′ ( − 2 ) = − 2 f'(-2) = -2 f ′ ( − 2 ) = − 2
g ′ ( − 2 ) = − 2 g'(-2) = -2 g ′ ( − 2 ) = − 2
Thus:
( f − g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = − 2 − ( − 2 ) = 0 (f - g)'(-2) = -2 - (-2) = 0 ( f − g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = − 2 − ( − 2 ) = 0
Final answers:
( f ⋅ g ) ( 0 ) = 2 (f \cdot g)(0) = 2 ( f ⋅ g ) ( 0 ) = 2
h ′ ( 0 ) = 8 h'(0) = 8 h ′ ( 0 ) = 8
f ( f ( 0 ) ) = 10 f(f(0)) = 10 f ( f ( 0 )) = 10
( f g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = 10 (\frac{f}{g})'(-2) = 10 ( g f ) ′ ( − 2 ) = 10
( f ⋅ g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = − 14 (f \cdot g)'(-2) = -14 ( f ⋅ g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = − 14
( f − g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = 0 (f - g)'(-2) = 0 ( f − g ) ′ ( − 2 ) = 0
