Math Problem Statement

Use 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).

Solution

Let's solve the provided problems using the table of values.

1. (fg)(0)(f \cdot g)(0)

This is the product of f(0)f(0) and g(0)g(0): (fg)(0)=f(0)g(0)=21=2(f \cdot g)(0) = f(0) \cdot g(0) = 2 \cdot 1 = 2

2. h(0)h'(0) where h(x)=f(g(x))h(x) = f(g(x))

To find h(x)h'(x), use the chain rule: h(x)=f(g(x))g(x)h'(x) = f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x) At x=0x = 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) From the table:

  • f(1)=4f'(1) = 4
  • g(0)=2g'(0) = 2 Thus: h(0)=42=8h'(0) = 4 \cdot 2 = 8

3. f(f(0))f(f(0))

We first find f(0)f(0) and then apply ff again: f(0)=2andf(2)=10f(0) = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad f(2) = 10 So: f(f(0))=f(2)=10f(f(0)) = f(2) = 10

4. (fg)(2)(\frac{f}{g})'(-2)

For the derivative of fg\frac{f}{g}, use the quotient rule: (fg)(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} At x=2x = -2: (fg)(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} From the table:

  • f(2)=2f'(-2) = -2
  • g(2)=1g(-2) = 1
  • f(2)=6f(-2) = 6
  • g(2)=2g'(-2) = -2 Thus: (fg)(2)=(2)(1)(6)(2)(1)2=2+121=10\left( \frac{f}{g} \right)'(-2) = \frac{(-2)(1) - (6)(-2)}{(1)^2} = \frac{-2 + 12}{1} = 10

5. (fg)(2)(f \cdot g)'(-2)

For the derivative of fgf \cdot g, use the product rule: (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)+f(x)g(x)(f \cdot g)'(x) = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x) At x=2x = -2: (fg)(2)=f(2)g(2)+f(2)g(2)(f \cdot g)'(-2) = f'(-2)g(-2) + f(-2)g'(-2) Substitute the values from the table:

  • f(2)=2f'(-2) = -2
  • g(2)=1g(-2) = 1
  • f(2)=6f(-2) = 6
  • g(2)=2g'(-2) = -2 Thus: (fg)(2)=(2)(1)+(6)(2)=212=14(f \cdot g)'(-2) = (-2)(1) + (6)(-2) = -2 - 12 = -14

6. (fg)(2)(f - g)'(-2)

For the derivative of fgf - g: (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)(f - g)'(x) = f'(x) - g'(x) At x=2x = -2: (fg)(2)=f(2)g(2)(f - g)'(-2) = f'(-2) - g'(-2) From the table:

  • f(2)=2f'(-2) = -2
  • g(2)=2g'(-2) = -2 Thus: (fg)(2)=2(2)=0(f - g)'(-2) = -2 - (-2) = 0

Final answers:

  1. (fg)(0)=2(f \cdot g)(0) = 2
  2. h(0)=8h'(0) = 8
  3. f(f(0))=10f(f(0)) = 10
  4. (fg)(2)=10(\frac{f}{g})'(-2) = 10
  5. (fg)(2)=14(f \cdot g)'(-2) = -14
  6. (fg)(2)=0(f - g)'(-2) = 0
