Question
Let g(x) = log(f(x)) where f(x) is a twice differentiable positive function on (0, ∞) such that f(x + 1) = x f(x). Then, forN = 1, 2, 3,......g″
=
=Options
A.

B.

C.

D.

Solution
g(x + 1) = log(f(x + 1)) = logx + log(f(x)) = logx + g(x)
⇒ g(x + 1) - g(x) = logx
⇒ g″(x + 1) - g″(x) = -
= - 4

Summing up all terms
Hence,

⇒ g(x + 1) - g(x) = logx
⇒ g″(x + 1) - g″(x) = -

= - 4
