If f and g are the functions whose graphs are shown, let

u(x) = f(g(x)),

v(x) = g(f(x)), and w(x) = g(g(x)).

Find each derivative, if it exists. If it does not exist, explain why. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

(a)    

u'(1) = 

It does exist.u'(1) does not exist because f '(1) does not exist.     u'(1) does not exist because g'(1) does not exist.u'(1) does not exist because f '(3) does not exist.u'(1) does not exist because g'(2) does not exist.


(b)    

v'(1) = 

It does exist.v'(1) does not exist because f '(1) does not exist.     v'(1) does not exist because g'(1) does not exist.v'(1) does not exist because f '(3) does not exist.v'(1) does not exist because g'(2) does not exist.


(c)    

w'(1) = 

It does exist.w'(1) does not exist because f '(1) does not exist.     w'(1) does not exist because g'(1) does not exist.w'(1) does not exist because f '(3) does not exist.w'(1) does not exist because g'(2) does not exist.
