Homework Statement


f(x) = e^(2x) and g(x) = lnx. what is the derivative of f(g(x)) at x=e


Homework Equations


dy/dx = f'g(x) x g'(x)


The Attempt at a Solution


i can't figure it out!

remember your chain rule:
[tex][f(g(x))]'=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)[/tex]
take each derivative separately and put it all together if it seems too complicated, that helps me a lot
