If x is so small that x^2 and higher powers of x can be neglected, then the approximate value of (1+ 3 4 x )^ 1 2 (1- 2 x 3 )⁻² is
Options
- A41+24 x 41
- B41-24 x 41
- C24+41 x 24
- D24-41 x 24
Correct answer
C. 24+41 x 24
Step-by-step solution
If x is so small that x^2 and higher powers of x can be neglected, then (1+x)^n=1+n x So, (1+ 3 4 x )^ 1 / 2 (1- 2 3 x )⁻²= (1+ 3 8 x ) (1+ 4 x 3 )=1+ 3 8 x+ 4 x 3 [on neglecting the x^2 term] = 24+41 x 24 Hence, option (c) is correct.
