If f(x)= x^2 x+a , then f^ (a) is equal to
Options
- A4 a
- B1 8 a
- C1 4 a
- D8 a
Correct answer
C. 1 4 a
Step-by-step solution
aligned & We have, f(x)= x^2 x+a & f^ (x)= 2 x x+a - x^2 (x+a)^2 & f^ (x)= 2 x+a - 2 x (x+a)^2 - 2 x (x+a)^2 + 2 x^2 (x+a)^3 & f^ (a)= 2 2 a - 2 a 4 a^2 - 2 a 4 a^2 + 2 a^2 8 a^3 & = 1 a - 1 2 a - 1 2 a + 1 4 a & = 1 a - 1 a + 1 4 a & = 1 4 a & aligned
