question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, idk

I have no idea how to approach this ques...

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

is the answer \(\dfrac{7}{26}\)

OpenStudy (rational):

im getting \(f'(2)=\frac{1}{2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's not even in the option but how do i do this question?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} &3f(x)-2f(\frac{1}{x})=x------------(1)\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ &\normalsize \text{put} \dfrac{1}{x} \normalsize \text{instead of x} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ &3f(\dfrac{1}{x})-2f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x}------------(2)\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ &\normalsize \text{now isolate } f(\frac{1}{x}) \text{and solve for } f(x) \text{and further differentiate}\\~\\ &\normalsize \text{ then put x=2 get the answer}\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

OpenStudy (rational):

Nice :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks, didn't think u could do that, solved and got answer as \[x=\frac{1}{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i mean \[f'(2)=\frac{1}{2}\]

OpenStudy (rational):

im getting the same
