If
f
and
g
are the functions whose graphs are shown, let
u(x)=f(g(x)),v(x)=g(f(x))
, and
w(x)=g(g(x))
. Find each derivative, if it exists. If it does not exist, explain why. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) (a)
u^(')(1)=
It does exist.
u^(')(1)
does not exist because
f^(')(1)
does not exist.
u^(')(1)
does not exist because
g^(')(1)
does not exist.
u^(')(1)
does not exist because
f^(')(3)
does not exist.
u^(')(1)
does not exist because
g^(')(2)
does not exist. (b)
v^(')(1)=
It does exist.
v^(')(1)
does not exist because
f^(')(1)
does not exist.
V^(')(1)
does not exist because
g^(')(1)
does not exist.
v^(')(1)
does not exist because
f^(')(3)
does not exist.
v^(')(1)
does not exist because
g^(')(2)
does not exist. (c)
w^(')(1)=
It does exist.
w^(')(1)
does not exist because
f^(')(1)
does not exist.
w^(')(1)
does not exist because
g^(')(1)
does not exist.
w^(')(1)
does not exist because
