Question

 Let f be a differentiable function such that 8f(x)+6f(1/x)x=5(x0) and y=x2f(x) then 

dydx at x=1 is

Moderate
Solution

 Differentiating the given expression, we get

8f(x)+6f1x1x21=0 8f(1)+6f(1)(1)=1 f(1)=1/2

Also dydx=2xf(x)+x2f(x)

so,  dydxx=1=2f(1)+f(1)

Putting x = 1 in the given equation, we obtain

 8f(1)+6f(1)1=514f(1)=6 f(1)=37

Hence      dydxx=1=2,37+12=1914
