Answer

(a) $h'(2) = 1$ (b) $g'(2) = 8$

Work Step by Step

(a) $h(x) = f(f(x))$ $h'(x) = f'(f(x))\cdot f'(x)$ $h'(2) = f'(f(2))\cdot f'(2)$ $h'(2) = f'(1)\cdot f'(2)$ $h'(2) = (-1)\cdot (-1)$ $h'(2) = 1$ (b) $g(x) = f(x^2)$ $g'(x) = f'(x^2)\cdot 2x$ $g'(2) = f'(2^2)\cdot 2(2)$ $g'(2) = f'(4)\cdot 4$ $g'(2) = (2)\cdot 4$ $g'(2) = 8$
