Identify that you need to find the derivative of the composite function p(x) = g(f(x)) at x = 2, which is p'(2).
Recall the chain rule for derivatives, which states that if you have a composite function p(x) = g(f(x)), then the derivative p'(x) = g'(f(x)) * f'(x).
Evaluate f(x) at x = 2 using the table to find f(2). This will give you the input for g'.
Use the table to find g'(f(2)), which is the derivative of g at the point f(2).
Find f'(2) using the table, which is the derivative of f at x = 2. Multiply g'(f(2)) by f'(2) to get p'(2).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Chain Rule

The Chain Rule is a fundamental theorem in calculus used to differentiate composite functions. It states that if a function h(x) is composed of two functions f and g, such that h(x) = f(g(x)), then the derivative h'(x) can be found using the formula h'(x) = f'(g(x)) * g'(x). This rule is essential for calculating derivatives of functions that are nested within each other.

Intro to the Chain Rule

Derivative Notation

Derivative notation, such as f'(x) or p'(2), represents the rate of change of a function with respect to its variable. The notation p'(2) specifically indicates the derivative of the function p evaluated at the point x = 2. Understanding this notation is crucial for interpreting and calculating derivatives accurately.

Function Composition

Function composition occurs when one function is applied to the result of another function. In the context of the question, h(x) = f(g(x)) and p(x) = g(f(x)) are examples of composed functions. Recognizing how to work with composed functions is vital for applying the Chain Rule and finding derivatives of such functions.

97–100. Logistic growth Scientists often use the logistic growth function P(t) = P₀K / P₀+(K−P₀)e^−r₀t to model population growth, where P₀ is the initial population at time t=0, K is the carrying capacity, and r₀ is the base growth rate. The carrying capacity is a theoretical upper bound on the total population that the surrounding environment can support. The figure shows the sigmoid (S-shaped) curve associated with a typical logistic model. <IMAGE>


{Use of Tech} Gone fishing When a reservoir is created by a new dam, 50 fish are introduced into the reservoir, which has an estimated carrying capacity of 8000 fish. A logistic model of the fish population is P(t) = 400,000 / 50+7950e^−0.5t, where t is measured in years.
