Differentiation Question 114

Question: If $ y=(1+{x^{1/4}})(1+{x^{1/2}})(1-{x^{1/4}}), $ then $ \frac{dy}{dx} $ is equal to

Options:

A) 1

B) -1

C) x

D) $ \sqrt{x} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] we have, $ y=(1+{x^{1/4}})(1+{x^{1/2}})(1-{x^{1/4}}) $

$ =(1-{x^{1/2}})(1+{x^{1/2}})=1-x $
$ \therefore \frac{dy}{dx}=-1 $
