or the value of f when it is evaluated at a the derivative of f, which is itself a function! It takes the same arguments as f does. the value of the derivative of f, when it is evaluated at 3 another function a function, the sum of two functions which take the same arguments the value of when it is evaluated at 3 (namely the sum of the values of f and g when both are evaluated at 3) a function, the product of two functions which take the same arguments the value of when it is evaluated at 3 (namely the product of the values of f and g when both are evaluated at 3) a function, the composition of f and g (ie, f is called on the result of g called on the argument to the new function). It thus takes the same arguments as g. another function, the composition of f and the derivative of g (ie, f is called on the result of Dg called on the argument to the new function) another function the partial derivative of h with respect to its 1st argument the value of when evaluated at (4,5) (namely, the partial derivative of h, in the neighborhood of (4,5), with respect to its first argument) the composition of f and h the partial derivative of with respect to its 1st argument. a function (of course), which gives the derivative of f at values given by h the derivative of f at the value of h evaluated at (4,5) hmm... what do you think?
