The function h(x)=5−4x2h(x)=\sqrt{5-4x^{2}} can be written as a composition h(x)=p(q(x))h(x)=p(q(x)), where pp and qq are differentiable. Which of the following pairs (p,q)(p,q) is valid? a) p(u)=5−u,  q(x)=4x2p(u)=5-u,\;q(x)=4x^{2} b) p(u)=u,  q(x)=5−4x2p(u)=\sqrt{u},\;q(x)=5-4x^{2} c) p(u)=5−u,  q(x)=x2p(u)=\sqrt{5-u},\;q(x)=x^{2} d) p(u)=5−4u2,  q(x)=xp(u)=5-4u^{2},\;q(x)=\sqrt{x}
