Correct answer: A

The user wants me to solve a calculus problem by finding the first and second derivatives of a given function and evaluating them at specific points to check the given options.

Step 1: Find the first derivative, f′(x)f'(x)f′(x).

The given function is f(x)=x2−ax+1x2+ax+1f(x) = \frac{x^2 - ax + 1}{x^2 + ax + 1}f(x)=x2+ax+1x2−ax+1​. We can simplify the function by rewriting the numerator: f(x)=x2+ax+1−2axx2+ax+1=1−2axx2+ax+1f(x) = \frac{x^2 + ax + 1 - 2ax}{x^2 + ax + 1} = 1 - \frac{2ax}{x^2 + ax + 1}f(x)=x2+ax+1x2+ax+1−2ax​=1−x2+ax+12ax​ Now, we differentiate f(x)f(x)f(x) with respect to xxx using the quotient rule for the fractional part. f′(x)=−2addx(xx2+ax+1)f'(x) = -2a \frac{d}{dx}\left( \frac{x}{x^2 + ax + 1} \right)f′(x)=−2adxd​(x2+ax+1x​) f′(x)=−2a[(1)(x2+ax+1)−x(2x+a)(x2+ax+1)2]f'(x) = -2a \left[ \frac{(1)(x^2 + ax + 1) - x(2x + a)}{(x^2 + ax + 1)^2} \right]f′(x)=−2a[(x2+ax+1)2(1)(x2+ax+1)−x(2x+a)​] f′(x)=−2a[x2+ax+1−2x2−ax(x2+ax+1)2]f'(x) = -2a \left[ \frac{x^2 + ax + 1 - 2x^2 - ax}{(x^2 + ax + 1)^2} \right]f′(x)=−2a[(x2+ax+1)2x2+ax+1−2x2−ax​] f′(x)=−2a[1−x2(x2+ax+1)2]f'(x) = -2a \left[ \frac{1 - x^2}{(x^2 + ax + 1)^2} \right]f′(x)=−2a[(x2+ax+1)21−x2​] f′(x)=2a(x2−1)(x2+ax+1)2f'(x) = \frac{2a(x^2 - 1)}{(x^2 + ax + 1)^2}f′(x)=(x2+ax+1)22a(x2−1)​

Step 2: Evaluate f′(1)f'(1)f′(1) and f′(−1)f'(-1)f′(−1) and check options C and D.

Now, we evaluate the first derivative at x=1x=1x=1 and x=−1x=-1x=−1. At x=1x=1x=1: f′(1)=2a(12−1)(12+a(1)+1)2=2a(0)(2+a)2=0f'(1) = \frac{2a(1^2 - 1)}{(1^2 + a(1) + 1)^2} = \frac{2a(0)}{(2+a)^2} = 0f′(1)=(12+a(1)+1)22a(12−1)​=(2+a)22a(0)​=0 At x=−1x=-1x=−1: f′(−1)=2a((−1)2−1)((−1)2+a(−1)+1)2=2a(0)(2−a)2=0f'(-1) = \frac{2a((-1)^2 - 1)}{((-1)^2 + a(-1) + 1)^2} = \frac{2a(0)}{(2-a)^2} = 0f′(−1)=((−1)2+a(−1)+1)22a((−1)2−1)​=(2−a)22a(0)​=0 Now, let's check options C and D. Option C: f′(1)f′(−1)=(2−a)2f'(1)f'(-1) = (2-a)^2f′(1)f′(−1)=(2−a)2. We have 0⋅0=00 \cdot 0 = 00⋅0=0. For the option to be true, (2−a)2(2-a)^2(2−a)2 must be 0, which implies a=2a=2a=2. However, the problem states 0<a<20 < a < 20<a<2. So, option C is false. Option D: f′(1)f′(−1)=−(2+a)2f'(1)f'(-1) = -(2+a)^2f′(1)f′(−1)=−(2+a)2. We have 0=−(2+a)20 = -(2+a)^20=−(2+a)2. This implies a=−2a=-2a=−2, which contradicts 0<a<20 < a < 20<a<2. So, option D is false.

Step 3: Find the second derivative, f′′(x)f''(x)f′′(x).

We differentiate f′(x)=2a(x2−1)(x2+ax+1)2f'(x) = \frac{2a(x^2 - 1)}{(x^2 + ax + 1)^2}f′(x)=(x2+ax+1)22a(x2−1)​ using the quotient rule. Let u(x)=2a(x2−1)u(x) = 2a(x^2-1)u(x)=2a(x2−1) and v(x)=(x2+ax+1)2v(x) = (x^2+ax+1)^2v(x)=(x2+ax+1)2. Then u′(x)=4axu'(x) = 4axu′(x)=4ax and v′(x)=2(x2+ax+1)(2x+a)v'(x) = 2(x^2+ax+1)(2x+a)v′(x)=2(x2+ax+1)(2x+a). f′′(x)=u′(x)v(x)−u(x)v′(x)[v(x)]2f''(x) = \frac{u'(x)v(x) - u(x)v'(x)}{[v(x)]^2}f′′(x)=[v(x)]2u′(x)v(x)−u(x)v′(x)​ f′′(x)=4ax(x2+ax+1)2−2a(x2−1)[2(x2+ax+1)(2x+a)](x2+ax+1)4f''(x) = \frac{4ax(x^2+ax+1)^2 - 2a(x^2-1)[2(x^2+ax+1)(2x+a)]}{(x^2+ax+1)^4}f′′(x)=(x2+ax+1)44ax(x2+ax+1)2−2a(x2−1)[2(x2+ax+1)(2x+a)]​ We can cancel a factor of (x2+ax+1)(x^2+ax+1)(x2+ax+1) from the numerator and denominator: f′′(x)=4ax(x2+ax+1)−4a(x2−1)(2x+a)(x2+ax+1)3f''(x) = \frac{4ax(x^2+ax+1) - 4a(x^2-1)(2x+a)}{(x^2+ax+1)^3}f′′(x)=(x2+ax+1)34ax(x2+ax+1)−4a(x2−1)(2x+a)​

Step 4: Evaluate f′′(1)f''(1)f′′(1) and f′′(−1)f''(-1)f′′(−1).

At x=1x=1x=1, the term (x2−1)(x^2-1)(x2−1) is 0. So the second term in the numerator is 0. f′′(1)=4a(1)(12+a(1)+1)−0(12+a(1)+1)3=4a(2+a)(2+a)3=4a(2+a)2f''(1) = \frac{4a(1)(1^2+a(1)+1) - 0}{(1^2+a(1)+1)^3} = \frac{4a(2+a)}{(2+a)^3} = \frac{4a}{(2+a)^2}f′′(1)=(12+a(1)+1)34a(1)(12+a(1)+1)−0​=(2+a)34a(2+a)​=(2+a)24a​ At x=−1x=-1x=−1, the term (x2−1)(x^2-1)(x2−1) is also 0. f′′(−1)=4a(−1)((−1)2+a(−1)+1)−0((−1)2+a(−1)+1)3=−4a(1−a+1)(1−a+1)3=−4a(2−a)(2−a)3=−4a(2−a)2f''(-1) = \frac{4a(-1)((-1)^2+a(-1)+1) - 0}{((-1)^2+a(-1)+1)^3} = \frac{-4a(1-a+1)}{(1-a+1)^3} = \frac{-4a(2-a)}{(2-a)^3} = \frac{-4a}{(2-a)^2}f′′(−1)=((−1)2+a(−1)+1)34a(−1)((−1)2+a(−1)+1)−0​=(1−a+1)3−4a(1−a+1)​=(2−a)3−4a(2−a)​=(2−a)2−4a​

Step 5: Check options A and B.

Option A: (2+a)2f′′(1)+(2−a)2f′′(−1)=0{\left( {2 + a} \right)^2}f''\left( 1 \right) + {\left( {2 - a} \right)^2}f''\left( { - 1} \right) = 0(2+a)2f′′(1)+(2−a)2f′′(−1)=0 Let's substitute our results into the left-hand side (LHS): LHS = (2+a)2(4a(2+a)2)+(2−a)2(−4a(2−a)2)(2+a)^2 \left( \frac{4a}{(2+a)^2} \right) + (2-a)^2 \left( \frac{-4a}{(2-a)^2} \right)(2+a)2((2+a)24a​)+(2−a)2((2−a)2−4a​) LHS = 4a−4a=04a - 4a = 04a−4a=0 Since LHS = 0, which is the right-hand side, option A is true.

Option B: (2−a)2f′′(1)−(2+a)2f′′(−1)=0{\left( {2 - a} \right)^2}f''\left( 1 \right) - {\left( {2 + a} \right)^2}f''\left( { - 1} \right) = 0(2−a)2f′′(1)−(2+a)2f′′(−1)=0 LHS = (2−a)2(4a(2+a)2)−(2+a)2(−4a(2−a)2)(2-a)^2 \left( \frac{4a}{(2+a)^2} \right) - (2+a)^2 \left( \frac{-4a}{(2-a)^2} \right)(2−a)2((2+a)24a​)−(2+a)2((2−a)2−4a​) LHS = 4a(2−a)2(2+a)2+4a(2+a)2(2−a)2\frac{4a(2-a)^2}{(2+a)^2} + \frac{4a(2+a)^2}{(2-a)^2}(2+a)24a(2−a)2​+(2−a)24a(2+a)2​ Since 0<a<20 < a < 20<a<2, both terms are positive, so their sum is positive and not equal to 0. Option B is false.

Final Answer is option A.
