Answer

$$7.5$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {\left. {\frac{d}{{dx}}\left[ {1.5f\left( x \right)} \right]} \right|_{x = 2}} \cr & {\text{Calculate the derivative}} \cr & \frac{d}{{dx}}\left[ {1.5f\left( x \right)} \right] = 1.5f'\left( x \right) \cr & {\text{Evaluate at }}x = 2 \cr & {\left. {\frac{d}{{dx}}\left[ {1.5f\left( x \right)} \right]} \right|_{x = 2}} = 1.5f'\left( 2 \right) \cr & {\text{From the table we know that }}f'\left( 2 \right) = 5 \cr & {\left. {\frac{d}{{dx}}\left[ {1.5f\left( x \right)} \right]} \right|_{x = 2}} = 1.5\left( 5 \right) \cr & {\left. {\frac{d}{{dx}}\left[ {1.5f\left( x \right)} \right]} \right|_{x = 2}} = 7.5 \cr} $$
