MCQ
If $\text{f(x)}=\frac{\text{x}^\text{n}-\text{a}^\text{n}}{\text{x}-\text{a}},$ then $\text{f}'\text{(a)}$ is:
  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • D
    $\text{dose not exist}$

Answer

  1. $\text{dose not exist}$

Solution:

Given: $\text{f(x)}=\frac{\text{x}^\text{n}-\text{a}^\text{n}}{\text{x}-\text{a}}$

Now, f(x) is not difined at x = a. Therefore, f(x) is not differentiable at x = a.

So, f'(a) dose not exist.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
