Evaluate the derivative at given the provided table of and values.
STEP 1
Assumptions
1. We have a function and its derivative with given values at specific points.
2. We need to evaluate the derivative of the composition of with itself, denoted as .
3. We are specifically interested in evaluating the derivative at .
STEP 2
To find the derivative of the composition of two functions, we use the chain rule. The chain rule states that if we have two functions and , then the derivative of their composition is given by:
STEP 3
In our case, we have and , so the chain rule gives us:
STEP 4
Now we need to evaluate this expression at . First, we find and from the given table.
STEP 5
From the table, we see that and .
STEP 6
Next, we need to find . Since , we need to find .
STEP 7
From the table, we see that .
STEP 8
Now we have all the values we need to apply the chain rule. We can substitute with and with its value.
STEP 9
Substitute the values into the chain rule expression:
STEP 10
Now plug in the values we found:
STEP 11
Calculate the result:
The derivative of at is .
