MCQ
If $f(x) = \sqrt {ax} + {{{a^2}} \over {\sqrt {ax} }},$ then $f'(a) = $
  • A
    $-1$
  • B
    $1$
  • $0$
  • D
    $a$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$0$
c
(c) $f(x) = \sqrt {ax} + \frac{{{a^2}}}{{\sqrt {ax} }},$ then

==> $f'(x) = \frac{{\sqrt a }}{{2\sqrt x }} + \frac{{{a^2}}}{{\sqrt a }}\left( {\frac{{ - 1}}{2}{x^{ - 3/2}}} \right)$

==> $f'(x) = \frac{{\sqrt a }}{{2\sqrt x }} - \frac{{{a^2}}}{{2\sqrt a }}{x^{ - 3/2}}$

==> $f'(a) = \frac{{\sqrt a }}{{2\sqrt a }} - \frac{{{a^2}}}{{2\sqrt a \,.\,{a^{3/2}}}}$

==>$f'(a) = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{{{a^2}}}{{2{a^2}}} = 0$.
