Question Details

What will be the differential function of √(x² + 2)?

Options

A

x√(x² + 2) dx

B

x/√(x² + 2) dx

C

x/√(x² – 2) dx

D

-x/√(x² + 2) dx

Correct Answer :

x/√(x² + 2) dx

Solution :

The correct option is x/√(x² + 2) dx.

To find the differential of the function, we let:

y=x2+2

The differential of y is given by the formula:
dy=dydxdx

First, we find the derivative of y with respect to x using the chain rule. Let u=x2+2, so y=u=u1/2.

Applying the chain rule:
dydx=dydududx

We compute the individual derivatives:
dydu=12u-1/2=12u
dudx=2x

Substitute these back into the chain rule formula:
dydx=12x2+2(2x)

Simplifying the expression by canceling the factor of 2 in the numerator and denominator:
dydx=xx2+2

Therefore, the differential of the function is:
dy=xx2+2dx
