Let f: ( 0, ∞ ) → ( 0, ∞ ) be a differentiable function such that f...

Let f:(0,∞)→(0,∞)f: ( 0, \infty ) \to ( 0, \infty ) be a differentiable function such that f(1)=ef ( 1 ) = e and lim⁡t→xt2f2(x)−x2f2(t)t−x=0.\lim_{t \to x}\dfrac{{t}^{2}{f}^{2} ( x ) - {x}^{2}{f}^{2} ( t )}{t - x} = 0 . Iff(x)=1f ( x ) = 1, then xx is equal to:

Options

  1. A1e\dfrac{1}{e}
  2. B2e2e
  3. C12e\dfrac{1}{2e}
  4. Dee

Correct answer

A. 1e\dfrac{1}{e}

Step-by-step solution

lim⁡t→xt2f2(x)−x2f2(t)t−x=0\lim_{t \to x}\dfrac{{t}^{2}{f}^{2} ( x ) - {x}^{2}{f}^{2} ( t )}{t - x} = 0
Using L'Hospital

lim⁡t→x2tf2(x)−x22f(t)f′(t)1=0\lim_{t \to x}\dfrac{2t{f}^{2} ( x ) - {x}^{2}2f ( t ) {f}^{'} ( t )}{1} = 0
⇒2xf2(x)−x22f(x)f′(x)=0⇒ 2x{f}^{2} ( x ) - {x}^{2}2f ( x ) {f}^{'} ( x ) = 0
⇒2xf(x)[f(x)−xf′(x)]=0⇒ 2xf ( x ) [ f ( x ) - x{f}^{'} ( x ) ] = 0
But f(x)≠0f ( x ) \ne 0

So, xf′(x)=f(x)x{f}^{'} ( x ) = f ( x )
⇒xdydx=y⇒ x\dfrac{dy}{dx} = y
⇒1ydy=1xdx⇒ \dfrac{1}{y}dy = \dfrac{1}{x}dx
Integration gives

ln⁡y=ln⁡x+lnc\ln y = \ln x + lnc
⇒y=cx⇒f(x)=cx⇒ y = cx ⇒ f ( x ) = cx
Now

f(1)=c=ef ( 1 ) = c = e (given)

So, f(x)=exf ( x ) = ex
Now if f(x)=1f ( x ) = 1, then ex=1⇒x=1eex = 1 ⇒ x = \dfrac{1}{e}
