... (g(x)) in terms of f , g, and their derivatives. Our assumption throughout is that f and g are differentiable functions. Many functions we can’t yet differentiate can be decomposed and expressed ... Derivative of Composite Functions h(x) = √ ln x can be decomposed into f (g(x)), where f(x)= √ x and g(x) = ln x. h(x) = (x 2 + 1) 30 can be decomposed into f (g(x)), where f(x...
