If ((1-3x)^(1//2)+(1-x)^(5//3))/(sqrt(4-x)) is approximately equal to a+bx for small values of x, then (a,b)=

Answer»

`(1,(35)/(24))`
`(1,-(35)/(24))`
`(2,(35)/(12))`
`(2,-(35)/(12))`

Solution :`(b)` `((1-3x)^(1//2)+(1-x)^(5//3))/(2[1-(x)/(4)]^(1//2))`
`=([1+(1)/(2)(-3x)]+[1+(5)/(3)(-x)])/(2[1+(1)/(2)(-(x)/(4))])`
(Neglecting HIGHER POWERS of `x`)
`=([1-(19)/(12)x])/([1-(x)/(8)])`
`=[1-(19)/(12)x][1-(x)/(8)]^(-1)`
`=[1-(19)/(12)x][1+(x)/(8)]=1-(35)/(24)x`
then `a+bx=1-(35)/(24)ximpliesa=1`, `b=-(35)/(24)`
