    a. By the chain rule,

    h' (x) = f' (g (x)) * g' (x)

    h' (1) = f' (g (1)) * g' (1) = f' (1) * 1 = 3

    b. I suspect there's a typo here somewhere, but if you really mean j (x) = f (x), and you're only supposed to find j (1), then

    j (1) = f (1) = 2

    Possibly you're supposed to instead find j' (1), in which case

    j' (1) = f' (1) = 3

    Or maybe j is defined like

    j (x) = 1/f (x)

    in which case the chain rule gives

    j' (x) = - f' (x) / f (x) ^2

    j' (1) = - f' (1) / f (1) ^2 = - 3/2^2 = - 3/4

    c. By the chain rule,

    k' (x) = g' (x) / g (x)

    k' (1) = g' (1) / g (1) = 5/1 = 5
