Answer

$F'(x) = 2x\sqrt{3x^2+1} $

Work Step by Step

We begin by finding $g'(x)$ by applying the power rule: $g(x) = x^2-1$ $g'(x) = 2x$ We apply the chain rule: $F'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} f(g(x)) = f'(g(x)) *g'(x) = \sqrt{3g(x)+4} * g'(x) = \sqrt{3(x^2-1)+4} * (2x) = \sqrt{3x^2+1} * (2x) = 2x\sqrt{3x^2+1} $
