Q.

For the differentiable function f:-{0}, let 3f(x)+2f(1x)=1x-10, then |f(3)+f'(14)| is equal to            [2023]

1 13  
2 7  
3 335  
4 295  

Ans.

(1)

Given, 3f(x)+2f(1x)=1x-10  ...(i)

Put x=1x in (i), we get 3f(1x)+2f(x)=x-10  ...(ii)

Multiply (i) by 3 and (ii) by 2, then (i) − (ii):

5f(x)=3x-2x-10    f(x)=15(3x-2x-10)

Differentiate it w.r.t. x, f'(x)=15(-3x2-2)

  |f(3)+f'(14)|=|15(33-2(3)-10)+15(-48-2)|

= |15(1-6-10-50)|=|15(-65)|=13
