$f'(g(x))=tan(sqrt(5x-1)/2)xxsec^2(sqrt(5x-1)/2)$

As $f(x)=tan^2(x/2)$ ,

$f'(x)=(d(tan^2(x/2)))/(d(tanx/2))$ $xx$ $(d(tanx/2))/(d(x/2))$ $xx$ $(d(x/2))/dx$

Hence $f'(x)=2tan(x/2)xxsec^2(x/2)xx1/2$

or $f'(x)=tan(x/2)xxsec^2(x/2)$

Hence $f'(g(x))=tan(g(x)/2)xxsec^2(g(x)/2)$

and as $g(x)=sqrt(5x-1)$

$f'(g(x))=tan(sqrt(5x-1)/2)xxsec^2(sqrt(5x-1)/2)$

If f(x) =tan^2(x/2) f(x) =tan^2(x/2) and g(x) = sqrt(5x-1 g(x) = sqrt(5x-1 , what is f'(g(x)) f'(g(x)) ?
