Answer

$ f''(g(x))(g'(x))^{2}+f'(g(x))g''(x)$

Work Step by Step

Applying the chain rule, we have $(f\circ g)'=f'(g(x))\times g'(x)$ $(f\circ g)''= \frac{d}{dx}[f'(g(x))\times g'(x)]$ Applying the chain rule and the product rule, we get $(f\circ g)''=f''(g(x))g'(x)\times g'(x)+f'(g(x))\times g''(x)$ $= f''(g(x))(g'(x))^{2}+f'(g(x))g''(x)$
