y = 2x + 2/x find the derivative f'(x)

= 2x + 2/x find the derivative f'(x)Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose y=f(z) = well f can be anything. Then we put z=x2−2x+7 and get a new function g(x)=f(x2−2x+7). Some examples:
f(z)=z;f(x2−2x+7)=x2−2x+7=g(x)
f(z)=z2+3;f(x2−2x+7)=(x2−2x+7)2+3=g(x)
f(z)=sin(z);f(x2−2x+7)=sin(x2−2x+7)=g(x)
Now we want to see what we know about the derivative of f(x2−2x+7) when it could take any one of a myriad of forms. We use the chain rule - the derivative of p(q(x)) is q′(x)p′(q(x)) with p=f and q(x)=x2−2x+7 to obtain the derivative
(2x−2)f′(x2−2x+7)
Now we only know f′(10), so we can only deal with
x2−2x+7=10
which reduces to
(x−3)(x+1)=0
So x=3, or x=−1
With x=3 we get 4×2=8.
With x=−1 we get −4×2=−8.
Because the form of f is undefined, we can't say more than this - even that our function is differentiable in other places
