Derivative rules from a table of values
Problem 2.1803 · easy
Use the table to find \( \displaystyle h'(2) \) for \( \displaystyle h(x) = x f(x) + \left[g(x)\right]^{2} \). \[ \begin{array}{c|cccc} x & f(x) & f'(x) & g(x) & g'(x) \\ \hline 2 & 5 & 5 & 1 & 5\end{array} \]
- Product rule on x·f(x), chain rule on g(x)².
- \[ 5 + 2 \cdot 5 + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot 5 = 25 \]Read the values from the table and substitute.✓ Proved
Answer \( h'(2) = 25 \)
Lines: 1 proved, 1 not checked. The answer was also checked a second way, without looking at the solution. The reviewers disagree about how one step is explained; every verdict is in the receipt.

| Line | Status | Checked by | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Not checked | — | a sentence; read, not computed |
| 2 | ✓ Proved | sympy 1.14.0 | simplify(lhs - rhs) reduced to 0 |
| answer, a second way | ✓ Checked independently | sympy 1.14.0 + mpmath 1.3.0 | differentiated concrete polynomials built to match the table |
Reviewers
gpt-oss:20b: passqwen3.6:27b-mlx: fail (error) — The solution fails to explicitly state the derived formula for h'(x) before substituting values. While the arithmetic in step 2 is correct, step 1 is a method description, not a derivation. A student needs to see h'(x) = f(x) + x f'(x) + 2g(x)g'(x) to understand how the terms in step 2 correspond to the rules mentioned in step 1. Without this intermediate step, the jump from 'Product rule... chain rule...' to '5 + 2*5 + 2*1*5' is opaque and skips the crucial algebraic differentiation step.

While the arithmetic in line 2 is correct, the transition from the verbal description in line 1 to the numerical substitution in line 2 skips the crucial step of writing h'(x) = f(x) + x f'(x) + 2g(x)g'(x), making it unclear how the terms map to the rules mentioned.gpt-oss:20b: pass 2026-10-07
Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate
method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence,
not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by
generator:structured/derivative_from_table, checked 2026-10-07 with SymPy 1.14.0.
