Let a function f be defined on R - 0 and 2 f(x)+f ( 1 x )=x+3 If f is differentiable, then what is (0.5) equal to?
Options
- A1 4
- B2 3
- C2
- D4
Correct answer
C. 2
Step-by-step solution
aligned & Since, 2 f ( x )+ f ( 1 x )= x +3 & 2 f ^ ( x )+ f ^ ( 1 x ) (- 1 x ^2 )=1 & Put x =2, 1 2 & 2 f ^ (2)- 1 4 f ^ ( 1 2 )=1...(i) & and, 2 f ^ ( 1 2 )-4 f ^ (2)=1...(ii) aligned after solving (i) & (ii), we get f ^ ( 1 2 )=2, f ^ (2)= 3 4 So, f ^ (0.5)=2
