Q. - Let g be a function such that g(4)=16 and g′(4)=12.- Let h be the function h(x)=x.Let H be a function defined as H(x)=h(x)g(x).H′(4)=
Write H(x) function: First, let's write down the function H(x) using the given functions g(x) and h(x): H(x)=h(x)g(x).
Find derivative H′(x): Now, we need to find the derivative of H(x), which is H′(x). We'll use the quotient rule for derivatives, which is (gf)′=g2f′g−fg′, where f is the numerator and g is the denominator.
Derivatives of g(x) and h(x): Let's find the derivatives of g(x) and h(x). We know g′(4)=12. For h(x)=x, the derivative h′(x) is 1/(2x). So h′(4)=1/(24)=1/4.
Apply quotient rule: Now we apply the quotient rule. H′(x)=(h(x))2g′(x)⋅h(x)−g(x)⋅h′(x).
Plug in x=4: Let's plug in the values for x=4. H′(4)=(h(4))2g′(4)⋅h(4)−g(4)⋅h′(4).
Substitute known values: Substitute the known values: H′(4)=(12×4−16×41)/(4)2.
Calculate values: Calculate the values: H′(4)=4(12×2−16×41).
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression: H′(4)=424−4.
Finish calculation: Finish the calculation: H′(4)=420.
Final result: So, H′(4)=5.
