Question : 15
Total: 29
If y = log |x + √ x 2 + a 2 | , show that ( x 2 + a 2 )
+ x
= 0
Solution:
y = log |x + √ x 2 + a 2 | ... (1)
Differentiating (1) w.r.t. x, we get
=
⇒
=
... (2)
⇒ x
=
... (3)
Again, differentiating (2) w.r.t. x, we get
⇒
=
⇒
= -
⇒x 2 + a 2
= -
... (4)
Adding equation (3) and (4), we get
x 2 + a 2
+ x
= -
+
= 0
⇒x 2 + a 2
+ x
= 0
Differentiating (1) w.r.t. x, we get
