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.a constant

Solution

y2 = P(x)
⇒  2y = P′(x)
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒  2y3 = y2 P″(x) - P′(x) . y
⇒  2y3 = P(x) P″(x) -    ∵  y2 = P(x) & y
⇒ 
= P′(x) . P″(x) + P(x) . P″′(x) - 2
∴  = P(x) . P″′(x)
