QuestionProblem 9. (1 point)
A table of values for f,g,ff, g, f^{\prime}, and gg^{\prime} is given below. \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hlinexx & f(x)f(x) & g(x)g(x) & f(x)f^{\prime}(x) & g(x)g^{\prime}(x) \\ \hline 1 & 3 & 1 & 2 & 2 \\ \hline 2 & 2 & 2 & 2 & 2 \\ \hline 3 & 1 & 1 & 2 & 3 \\ \hline \end{tabular} (A) If h(x)=f(g(x))h(x)=f(g(x)), then h(2)=h^{\prime}(2)= \square (B) If H(x)=g(f(x))H(x)=g(f(x)), then H(1)=H^{\prime}(1)= \square

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to find the derivatives of composite functions at specific points, using a given table of values. Watch out! Don't mix up ff and gg, and remember the chain rule: the derivative of a composite function is the derivative of the *outer* function evaluated at the *inner* function, times the derivative of the *inner* function.

STEP 2

1. Find h(2)h'(2)
2. Find H(1)H'(1)

STEP 3

Alright, let's **start** with h(x)=f(g(x))h(x) = f(g(x)).
We want to find h(2)h'(2), which means we need the derivative of hh.

STEP 4

Time for the **chain rule**!
The derivative of f(g(x))f(g(x)) is f(g(x))g(x)f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x).
So, h(x)=f(g(x))g(x)h'(x) = f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x).

STEP 5

Now, we **plug in** x=2x = 2.
We get h(2)=f(g(2))g(2)h'(2) = f'(g(2)) \cdot g'(2).

STEP 6

Let's **grab those values** from the table. g(2)g(2) is **2**, and g(2)g'(2) is **2**.
Substituting these values, we have h(2)=f(2)2h'(2) = f'(2) \cdot 2.

STEP 7

Back to the **table**! f(2)f'(2) is **2**.
So, h(2)=22=4h'(2) = 2 \cdot 2 = 4.
Boom!

STEP 8

Now for H(x)=g(f(x))H(x) = g(f(x)).
We want H(1)H'(1), so we need to **differentiate** H(x)H(x).

STEP 9

**Chain rule** time again!
The derivative of g(f(x))g(f(x)) is g(f(x))f(x)g'(f(x)) \cdot f'(x).
Therefore, H(x)=g(f(x))f(x)H'(x) = g'(f(x)) \cdot f'(x).

STEP 10

Let's **substitute** x=1x = 1.
We get H(1)=g(f(1))f(1)H'(1) = g'(f(1)) \cdot f'(1).

STEP 11

From the **table**, f(1)f(1) is **3** and f(1)f'(1) is **2**.
So, H(1)=g(3)2H'(1) = g'(3) \cdot 2.

STEP 12

One last **trip to the table**! g(3)g'(3) is **3**.
Thus, H(1)=32=6H'(1) = 3 \cdot 2 = 6.
Fantastic!

STEP 13

h(2)=4h'(2) = 4 H(1)=6H'(1) = 6
