MCQ
Let $f(x)$ be a continuously differentiable function on the interval $(0, \infty)$ such that $f(1)=2$ and $\lim _{t \rightarrow x} \frac{t^{10} f(x)-x^{10} f(t)}{t^9-x^9}=1$

for each $x>0$. Then, for all $x>0, f(x)$ is equal to

  • A
    $\frac{31}{11 x}-\frac{9}{11} x^{10}$
  • $\frac{9}{11 x}+\frac{13}{11} x^{10}$
  • C
    $\frac{-9}{11 x}+\frac{31}{11} x^{10}$
  • D
    $\frac{13}{11 x}+\frac{9}{11} x^{10}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{9}{11 x}+\frac{13}{11} x^{10}$
b
$\lim _{t \rightarrow x} \frac{t^{10} f(x)-x^{10} f(t)}{t^9-x^9}=1$

$\Rightarrow \lim _{t \rightarrow x} \frac{10 t^9 f(x)-x^{10} f^{\prime}(t)}{9 t^8}=1$

$\Rightarrow 10 x f(x)-x^2 f^{\prime}(x)=9$

$\Rightarrow x^2 f^{\prime}(x)=10 x f(x)-9$

$\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{10 f(x)}{x}-\frac{9}{x^2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}-\frac{10}{x} y=-\frac{9}{x^2}$

$\Rightarrow y \cdot \frac{1}{x^{10}}=\int-\frac{9}{x^2} \cdot \frac{1}{x^{10}} d x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{y}{x^{10}}=\frac{9}{11 x^{11}}+c$     $. . . . (1)$

$\because f(1)=2 \Rightarrow \frac{2}{1}=\frac{9}{11}+c \Rightarrow c=\frac{13}{11}$

$\therefore f(x)=\frac{9}{11 x}+\frac{13}{11} x^{10}$

$\Rightarrow$ Option $(B)$ is correct.
