Formulas

1 Suppose f and g are both twice differentiable functions everywhere on R. Which of the following is the correct formula for (fg), the second derivative of the composite of two functions?

(fg)g
(fg)(fg)g
(fg)(fg)(fg)
(fg)(g)2+(fg)g
(fg)(fg)+(fg)

2 Suppose f1,f2,f3 are everywhere differentiable functions from R to R. What is the derivative (f1f2f3) where denotes the composite of two functions? In other words, (f1f2f3)(x):=f1(f2(f3(x))).

(f1f2f3)(f2f3)f3
(f1f2f3)(f2f3)f3
(f1f2f3)(f2f3)f3
(f1f2f3)(f2f3)f3
f1f2f3
