JEE Advanced 2025 · Relations and Functions (Class 12)

Let R\mathbb{R} denote the set of all real numbers. Let f:R→Rf : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} and g:R→(0,4)g : \mathbb{R} \to (0,4) be functions defined by f(x)=log⁡e(x2+2x+4)f(x) = \log_e(x^{2} + 2x + 4), and g(x)=41+e−2xg(x) = \frac{4}{1 + e^{-2x}}. Define the composite function f∘g−1f \circ g^{-1} by (f∘g−1)(x)=f(g−1(x))(f \circ g^{-1})(x) = f(g^{-1}(x)), where g−1g^{-1} is the inverse of the function gg. Then the value of the derivative of the composite function f∘g−1f \circ g^{-1} at x=2x = 2 is ________.
