Derivative of y = x+ x+ x+ is
Options
- Ax 1-2 y
- Bx 1-2 y
- Cx 1+2 y
- Dx 2 y-1
Correct answer
D. x 2 y-1
Step-by-step solution
Given the infinite nested radical y = x + x + x + which satisfies the relation y^2 = x + y after squaring both sides. Differentiate implicitly with respect to x , noting that y is a function of x : 2y dy dx - dy dx - x = 0 Factor to isolate dy dx : dy dx (2y - 1) = x Solving for the derivative yields: dy dx = x 2y - 1 This matches option D , confirming the result.
