Continuity and DifferentiabilityHard

Question

If y2 = p(x) is a polynomial of degree 3, then 2 is equal to -

Options

A.p″′(x) . p′(x)
B.p″(x) . p″′(x)
C.p(x) . p″(x)
D.none of these

Solution

y2 = p(x) ⇒ 2y= p′(x)
⇒  2y + 2 = p″(x)
⇒ 2y + 2 = p″(x)
⇒ 4y3 +  (p′(x))2 = 2y2p″(x)
⇒ 4y3 = 2p(x) p″(x) - (p′(x))2
⇒ 2
= [2p′(x)p″(x) + 2p(x)p″′(x) - 2p′(x)p″(x)]
= p(x)p″′(x)
