Click For Summary
To solve derivative questions, it's essential to determine the first and second derivatives, denoted as h'(x) and h''(x), in relation to the functions f(x) and g(x) along with their respective derivatives. The approach mentioned is deemed correct and aligns with standard problem-solving methods in calculus. There was a technical issue with thread organization, causing posts to appear out of order. Overall, understanding the role of first and second derivatives is crucial for effective problem-solving in calculus. Properly addressing these derivatives can lead to clearer insights into the behavior of functions.

I'd start by determining $h'(x)$ and $h''(x)$ in terms of $f(x)$, $g(x)$, and their respective 1st and 2nd derivatives.

I merged the two threads on the same problem, and I have no iea why the posts weren't sorted correctly in chronological order.
