Question

If 8 f(x) + 6 f = x + 5 and y = x2 f(x), then at x = -1 is equal to

Options

A.0
B.1/14
C.-1/14
D.None of these

Solution

8 f(x) + 6 f = x + 5                 .... (i)
Replacing x by 1/x we get
8 f + 6 f(x) = 1/x + 5        .... (ii)
(i) × 8   ⇒    64 f(x) + 48 f = 8x + 40        .... (iii)
(ii) × 6    ⇒    36 f(x) + 48 f + 30        ..... (iv)
(iii) - (iv)     ⇒        28 f(x) = 8x - + 10
Differentiating w.r.t. x 
28 f′(x) = 8 +
Now  y = x2 f(x)
⇒  = x2 f′(x) + 2x f(x)
⇒  = f′(- 1) - 2f(- 1)
= - 2 (2/7)  =     {∵  f(-1) = 2/7}
