Question
A function $h(x)$ is defined in terms of a differentiable $f(x) .$ Find an expression for $h^{\prime}(x).$$$h(x)=-f(-x)$$
Step 1
This means we will need to use the chain rule to find the derivative. The chain rule states that the derivative of a composition of functions is the derivative of the outer function times the derivative of the inner function. Show more…
