If f(x)= x+ x x- x , f^ ( 2 ) is equal to
Options
- A2(x x+ x) (x- x)^2
- B2(x x+ x) (x- x)^2
- C-2(x x+ x) (x+ x)^2
- DNone of these
Correct answer
C. -2(x x+ x) (x+ x)^2
Step-by-step solution
Given, f(x)= x+ x x- x On differentiating w.r.t. x , we get aligned f^ (x) & = [ array c (x- x)(1- x) -(x+ x)(1+ x) array ] (x- x)^2 & = -2 x x-2 x (x- x)^2 aligned
