Textbook Question
Derivatives using tables Let h(x)=f(g(x)) and p(x)=g(f(x)). Use the table to compute the following derivatives.

1
Identify the function composition for p(x) = g(f(x)). We need to find the derivative p'(x) using the chain rule.
Apply the chain rule for derivatives: If p(x) = g(f(x)), then p'(x) = g'(f(x)) * f'(x).
Evaluate f(x) at x = 4 to find f(4). Use the table to find the value of f(4).
Use the table to find f'(4), the derivative of f at x = 4.
Substitute f(4) into g'(f(x)) to find g'(f(4)) using the table, then multiply g'(f(4)) by f'(4) to find p'(4).
