If f(x) and g(x) are two functions with g(x)=x- 1 x and f o g(x)=x³- 1 x³ , then f^ (x)=
Options
- A3 x²+ 3 x⁴
- B1+ 1 x²
- Cx²- 1 x²
- D3 x²+3
Correct answer
D. 3 x²+3
Step-by-step solution
f g(x) =x³- 1 x³ aligned f (x- 1 x ) &= (x- 1 x ) (x²+ 1 x² +1 ) &= (x- 1 x ) (x- 1 x )²+2+1 aligned f (x- 1 x )= (x- 1 x ) (x- 1 x )²+3 Replace x- 1 x by xf(x)=(x) (x²+3 )=x³+3 xf^ (x)=3 x²+3
