Differentiation Question 464

Question: Let $ f(x)=\sqrt{x-1}+\sqrt{x+24-10\sqrt{x-1}}; $ $ 1<x<26 $ Be real valued function. Then $ f’(x) $ for $ 1<x<26 $ is

Options:

A) 0

B) $ \frac{1}{\sqrt{x-1}} $

C) $ 2\sqrt{x-1}-5 $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] $ f(x)=\sqrt{x-1}+\sqrt{25+(x-1)-10\sqrt{x-1}} $ $ =\sqrt{x-1}+\sqrt{{{(5-\sqrt{x-1})}^{2}}} $ $ =\sqrt{x-1}+| 5-\sqrt{x-1} |=5 $ $ [\because \sqrt{x-1}<5for1<x<26] $
$ \therefore f’(x)=0 $
