Answer

\[(a) h'(1)=30 \\ \\ (b) H'(1)=36\]

Work Step by Step

$(a)\;\; h(x)=f(g(x))$ ___(1) Differentiating (1) with respect to $x$ using chain rule $h'(x)=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)$ $h'(1)=f'(g(1))\cdot g'(1)$ [Using data from given table $g(1)=2\;,\;g'(1)=6$] $h'(1)=f'(2)\cdot 6$ [Using data from given table $f'(2)=5$] $h'(1)=5\times 6=30$ Hence $h'(1)=30$. $(b)\;\; H(x)=g(f(x))$ _____(2) Differentiating (2) with respect to $x$ using chain rule $H'(x)=g'(f(x))\cdot f'(x)$ $H'(1)=g'(f(1))\cdot f'(1)$ [Using data from given table $\;f(1)=3\;,\;f'(1)=4$] $H'(1)=g'(3)\cdot 4$ [Using data from given table $\;g'(3)=9$] $H'(1)=9\times 4=36$ Hence $H'(1)=36$.
