Question

If $$f\left( 0 \right) = 0,\,f'\left( 0 \right) = 2,$$     then the derivative of $$y = f\left( {f\left( {f\left( {f\left( x \right)} \right)} \right)} \right)$$    at $$x = 0$$  is :

A. 2
B. 8
C. 16  
D. 4
Answer :   16
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & y'\left( x \right) = f'\left( {f\left( {f\left( {f\left( x \right)} \right)} \right)} \right)f'\left( {f\left( {f\left( x \right)} \right)} \right)f'\left( {f\left( x \right)} \right)f'\left( x \right) \cr & \Rightarrow y'\left( 0 \right) = f'\left( {f\left( {f\left( {f\left( 0 \right)} \right)} \right)} \right)f'\left( {f\left( {f\left( 0 \right)} \right)} \right)f'\left( {f\left( 0 \right)} \right)f'\left( 0 \right) \cr & = f'\left( {f\left( {f\left( 0 \right)} \right)} \right)f'\left( {f\left( 0 \right)} \right)f'\left( 0 \right)f'\left( 0 \right) \cr & = f'\left( {f\left( 0 \right)} \right)f'\left( 0 \right)f'\left( 0 \right)f'\left( 0 \right) \cr & = f'\left( 0 \right)f'\left( 0 \right)f'\left( 0 \right)f'\left( 0 \right) \cr & = {\left( {f'\left( 0 \right)} \right)^4} \cr & = {2^4} \cr & = 16 \cr} $$
