If f: R R is an even function which is twice differentiable on R and f^ ( )=1 , then f^ (- ) is equal to
Options
- A-1
- B0
- C1
- D2
Correct answer
C. 1
Step-by-step solution
Let the even function be f(x)= x On differentiating w.r.t. x , we get f^ (x)=- x Again differentiating w.r.t. x , we get f^ (x)=- x at x= ^ ( )=- =1 Our assumption is true. at x=- ^ (- )=- (- )=1
