### Calculus Problem: Evaluating Composed Functions
Consider the following table that provides values for functions \( f \) and \( g \), as well as their derivatives \( f' \) and \( g' \), at specific points:
| \( x \) | \( f(x) \) | \( g(x) \) | \( f'(x) \) | \( g'(x) \) |
|:------:|:-------:|:--------:|:--------:|:---------:|
| 3 | 1 | 9 | 8 | 3 |
| 4 | -3 | 3 | 2 | -5 |
#### Problem:
Calculate \( f(g(x)) \) for \( x = 4 \).
Options:
- (A) 24
- (B) -10
- (C) -40
- (D) 8
#### Solution:
To find \( f(g(x)) \) when \( x = 4 \):
1. First, identify \( g(4) \) from the table, which is 3.
2. Next, find \( f(g(4)) \) which translates to \( f(3) \).
3. From the table, \( f(3) \) is given as 1.
Therefore, \( f(g(4)) = f(3) = 1 \).
None of the provided options (24, -10, -40, 8) match the correct answer, which is 1. It seems there may be a mistake in the options given.
