  • ${x \over {({a^2} - {b^2})}}\left[ {{1 \over {\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} }} - {1 \over {\sqrt {{x^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right]$
  • B
    ${x \over {({a^2} + {b^2})}}\left[ {{1 \over {\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} }} - {2 \over {\sqrt {{x^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right]$
  • C
    ${x \over {({a^2} - {b^2})}}\left[ {{1 \over {\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} }} + {1 \over {\sqrt {{x^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right]$
  • D
    $({a^2} + {b^2})\left[ {{1 \over {\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} }} - {2 \over {\sqrt {{x^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right]$

Answer

Correct option: A.
${x \over {({a^2} - {b^2})}}\left[ {{1 \over {\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} }} - {1 \over {\sqrt {{x^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right]$
a
(a) $f(x) = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} + \sqrt {{x^2} + {b^2}} }}$

$f(x) = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} + \sqrt {{x^2} + {b^2}} }}.\frac{{\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} - \sqrt {{x^2} + {b^2}} }}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} - \sqrt {{x^2} + {b^2}} }}$

$f(x) = \frac{1}{{{a^2} - {b^2}}}\left[ {\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} - \sqrt {{x^2} + {b^2}} } \right]$

$f'(x) = \frac{1}{{{a^2} - {b^2}}}\left[ {\frac{{2x}}{{2\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} }} - \frac{{2x}}{{2\sqrt {{x^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right]$

$f'(x) = \frac{x}{{{a^2} - {b^2}}}\left[ {\frac{1}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + {a^2}} }} - \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + {b^2}} }}} \right]$.
