Homework Statement


If f(2) = 3, f'(2) = 5, g(2) = -1, g'(2) = -4, find (fg)'(2).


Homework Equations


if F(x) = f(x)g(x)
F'(x) = f'(x)g(x) + g'(x)f(x)

The Attempt at a Solution


I have no idea how to attempt his question :(

So you know the product rule:
(fg)'(x) = f'(x)g(x) + g'(x)f(x)

You want to find (fg)'(2), which equals...
(fg)'(2) = f'(2)g(2) + g'(2)f(2)

You can figure out the rest.
 
you've got the answer right in front of you they are asking F' ' (2) = (fg) ' (2) so what is (fg)' ?
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
