Math Problem Statement

Find the value of (f ∘ g)' at the given value of x.

f(u) = (u-1)/(u+1), u = g(x) = , x = 49

Solution

We are asked to find the value of (fg)(f \circ g)' at x=49x = 49, where the functions are defined as follows:

f(u)=u1u+1,u=g(x),x=49.f(u) = \frac{u - 1}{u + 1}, \quad u = g(x), \quad x = 49.

To approach this, we need to apply the chain rule, which states that:

(fg)(x)=f(g(x))g(x).(f \circ g)'(x) = f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x).

However, the function g(x)g(x) is not fully specified in the problem. Could you provide the exact form of g(x)g(x)? Without it, I won't be able to compute the derivatives of ff and gg.

Let me know, and I'll guide you through the rest of the solution once I have that information!
