Answer

$g'(3) = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{6}$

Work Step by Step

$g(x) = \sqrt{f(x)}$ $g'(x) = \frac{1}{2}(f(x))^{-1/2}\cdot f'(x)$ $g'(x) = \frac{f'(x)}{2\sqrt{f(x)}}$ $g'(3) = \frac{f'(3)}{2\sqrt{f(3)}}$ $g'(3) = \frac{-\frac{2}{3}}{2\sqrt{2}}$ $g'(3) = \frac{-1}{3\sqrt{2}}$ $g'(3) = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{6}$
