Homework Statement
A function f with domain [-5, 5] has a derivative f' whose graph is shown http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/2842/calcpic.jpg" . Also, f(-1) = 2.
a) If h(x) = ef(x), estimate h'(-1).
2. The attempt at a solution
a)
h'(x) = f'(x)ef(x)
h'(-1) = f'(-1)ef(-1)
= e2f'(-1)
f'(-1) = (2 - 3)/(0-(-1)) = -1/1 = -1
h'(-1) = -e2
Issues I'm having
So I'm not exactly sure if my estimate of f'(-1) is accurate based on the graph. What do you all think?
Thanks,
Bob :)
