Step 1: Understand the problem. You are tasked with finding the derivative of the composition of two functions, (f ∘ g)(x), and then evaluating it at x = -1. This involves using the chain rule for derivatives.
Step 2: Recall the chain rule. The derivative of a composition of functions, (f ∘ g)(x), is given by (f ∘ g)'(x) = f'(g(x)) * g'(x). This means you need to compute f'(u), g'(x), and evaluate f'(g(x)) * g'(x) at x = -1.
Step 3: Compute f'(u). The function f(u) = u^2 has a derivative f'(u) = 2u. This will be used later when substituting g(x) into f'(u).
Step 4: Compute g'(x). The function g(x) = 3x^6 + 6 has a derivative g'(x) = 18x^5. This derivative will be evaluated at x = -1.
Step 5: Substitute g(x) into f'(u) and evaluate the product. First, find g(-1) by substituting x = -1 into g(x). Then, substitute g(-1) into f'(u) to compute f'(g(-1)). Finally, multiply f'(g(-1)) by g'(-1) to find (f ∘ g)'(-1).
