Answer

24

Work Step by Step

$F(x)=f(g(x))$ ___(1) Using chain rule differentiating (1) with respect to $x$ $F'(x)=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)$ $F'(5)=f'(g(5))\cdot g'(5)$ Using given data $\;\;g(5)=-2\;\;,\;\;g'(5)=6$ $F'(5)=f'(-2)\cdot (6)$ Using given data $f'(-2)=4$ $F'(5)=4\cdot 6=24$ Hence $F'(5)=24$.
