Q.28

Question

Suppose g(x), h(x), and j(x) are differentiable functions with

values of the function and its derivative given in the following table:

if f(x)=g(x)h(x)+j(x)h(x) find f'(-1)

Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

 The value of f'(-1) is -1+20    , here 20 is not defined

1Step1. Given information


Values of the function and its derivative given.

We have to find out the values of f'(-1)

2Step 2. Finding the derivatives of the given function

   Here f(x)=g(x)h(x)+j(x)h(x) ,        =g(x)+j(x)h(x) When we do differentiation  , we get f'(x)=g'(x)+j(x)h(x)'By applying the quotient rule, we get  j(x)h(x)'=j'(x)h(x)-j(x)h'(x)(h(x))2   since the quotient rule: fg'(x)=f  (x) 'g(x)  f(x)g (x)'(g(x))2then f'(x)=g'(x)+j'(x)h(x)-j(x)h'(x)(h(x))2 

3Step 3. Finding the value of f ' ( - 1 )

 Since   f'(x)=g'(x)+j'(x)h(x)-j(x)h'(x)(h(x))2then f'(-1)=g'(-1)+j'(-1)h(-1)-j(-1)h'(-1)(h(-1))2From the table we get values,g'(-1)=-1,j'(-1)=-2,h'(-1)=-2,j(-1)=1 ,h(-1)=0 substitute these values on f'(-1).then we get f'(-1)=g'(-1)+j'(-1)h(-1)-j(-1)h'(-1)(h(-1))2               =-1+-2×0-1×-202               =-1+20    , here 20 is not defined
