Instructions:
You will be shown a composite function F(x) = f(g(x)).
This can also be written as F(x) = f(u) where u = g(x).
You are to determine:
- The inner function g(x)
- The outer function f(u)
- The derivative of the inner function g'(x)
- The derivative of the outer function f'(u)
- The derivative of the outer function evaluated at the inner function f'(g(x))
- The derivative of the composite F'(x) = f'(g(x)) g'(x)
