Answer

120

Work Step by Step

$r(x)=f(g(h(x)))$ ___(1) Differentiate (1) with respect to $x$ by using chain rule $r^{'}(x)=f^{'}(g(h(x)))\cdot g^{'}(h(x))\cdot h^{'}(x)$ $r^{'}(1)=f^{'}(g(h(1)))\cdot g^{'}(h(1))\cdot h^{'}(1)$ Using given data $h(1)=2, \; g(2)=3\;, h^{'}(1)=4,\;g^{'}(2)=5,\;f^{'}(3)=6$ $r^{'}(1)=f^{'}(g(2))\cdot g^{'}(2)\cdot 4$ $r^{'}(1)=f^{'}(3)\cdot 5\cdot 4$ $r^{'}(1)=6\cdot 5\cdot 4$ $r^{'}(1)=120$
