Step-by-step explanation:
Using the chain rule
Given
y = f(g(x)), then
= f'(g(x)) × g'(x) ← chain rule
and the standard derivatives
(
x ) =
,
(lnx) = 
(a)
Given
y =

(

(1 + x)

Given
y = ln sinx
=
×
(sinx)
=
× cosx
= 
= cotx
Linear means that the y values go up in a fixed increment, k.
In the first one, you see that 3+4=7, 7+4=11, and so on, so you can immediately tell that it's linear.
The second one goes 3+5=8, then 8+7=15, then 15+6=21, which aren't the same numbers.
The third increases and decreases, so it's not linear.
The fourth goes 3+6=9, then 9+18=27, which you can immediately tell is not linear.
Therefore, the only linear table would be the first one.
