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)=`A. `(1,(35)/(24))`B. `(1,-(35)/(24))`C. `(2,(35)/(12))`D. `(2,-(35)/(12))`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`(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)`
