Identify the function composition: h(x) = f(g(x)). This is a composition of functions where f is the outer function and g is the inner function.
Recall the chain rule for derivatives, which states that if you have a composition of functions h(x) = f(g(x)), then the derivative h'(x) is given by h'(x) = f'(g(x)) * g'(x).
To find h'(5), substitute x = 5 into the chain rule formula: h'(5) = f'(g(5)) * g'(5).
Use the table to find the values of g(5) and g'(5). Substitute these values into the expression for h'(5).
Next, use the table to find the value of f' at the point g(5). Substitute this value into the expression for h'(5) to complete the calculation.
