Question

If f(x) is an even function, then write whether f'(x) is even of odd.

✓

Answer

Here,
f(x) is even function, so
f(-x) = f(x)
Differentiating it with respect to x,
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{f}(-\text{x}))=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{f}(\text{x}))$
$\text{f}'(-\text{x})\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(-\text{x})=\text{f}'\text{(x)}$
$\text{f}'(-\text{x})\times(-1)=\text{f}'(\text{x})$
$-\text{f}'(-\text{x})=\text{f}'(\text{x})$
$\text{f}'(-\text{x})=-\text{f}'(\text{x})$
So,
f'(x) is odd function.
