#2f^'(a)#

where #a# is the common value of

#g(2)=g(4)=f^'(2)=f^'(4)=a#
It seems that the problem is incomplete.

By the chain rule of differentiation

#h^'(x) = f^'(g(x))times g^'(x)#

Thus

#h^'(2) = f^'(g(2))times g^'(2)#
#qquad = 2f^'(a)#

where #a# is the common value of

#g(2)=g(4)=f^'(2)=f^'(4)=a#
