- Given function
y=ln(1+x21−x2)
Using log properties,
y=ln(1−x2)−ln(1+x2)
- Find the first derivative
Differentiate term by term:
y′=1−x2−2x−1+x22x
Take LCM and simplify:
y′=−2x(1−x21+1+x21)
=−2x((1−x2)(1+x2)(1+x2)+(1−x2))
=−2x(1−x42)
y′=−1−x44x
- Find the second derivative
We differentiate
y′=−1−x44x
Using quotient rule with
u=−4x,v=1−x4
so
u′=−4,v′=−4x3
Then
y′′=v2u′v−uv′
y′′=(1−x4)2−4(1−x4)−(−4x)(−4x3)
=(1−x4)2−4+4x4−16x4
=(1−x4)2−4−12x4
y′′=−(1−x4)24(1+3x4)
- Evaluate at x=21
First,
x=21,x4=161
Hence,
1−x4=1−161=1615
First derivative:
y′=−16154⋅21=−16152=−1532
Second derivative:
y′′=−(1615)24(1+3⋅161)
=−2562254(1619)
=−419⋅225256
=−2251216
- Compute 225(y′−y′′)
y′−y′′=−1532−(−2251216)
=−225480+2251216
=225736
Therefore,
225(y′−y′′)=225⋅225736=736
- Check options
- A: 732
- B: 736
- C: 742
- D: 746
So the correct option is:
B: 736
