  4. -3

Solution

$ \text { } \begin{aligned} f^{\prime}(x) & =\sqrt{2 x^2-1} \\ y & =f\left(x^3\right) \end{aligned} $ Differentiation w.r.t. $x$ $ \begin{array}{rlr} \frac{d y}{d x} & =f^{\prime}\left(x^3\right) \cdot 3 x^2 \quad \text { [Using chain rule] } \\ \left.\therefore \quad \frac{d y}{d x}\right|_{x=1} & =f^{\prime}\left(1^3\right) 3(1)^2 & \\ & =f^{\prime}(1) \cdot 3 \\ & =\sqrt{2(1)^2-1} \cdot 3 \quad\left[\because f^{\prime}(x)=\sqrt{2 x^2-1}\right] \\ & =\sqrt{2-1} \cdot 3=\sqrt{1} \cdot 3 \\ & =3 \end{array} $
