Mathematics Question on Limits and derivations
\text{Find the derivative of the following functions (it is to be understood that a, b, c, d, p, q, r and s are fixed non-zero constants and m and n are integers)}$$(px+q)(\frac{r}{x}+s).
Answer
Let ,f(x)=(px+q)(xr+s)
By Leibnitz product rule,
=f′(x)=(px+q)(xr+s)′+(xr+s)(px+q)′
=(px+q)(rx−1+s)′+(sr)(p)
=(px+q)(−rx−2)+(sr+s)p
=(px+q)(x2−r)+(sr)p
=−xpr−x2qr+xpr+ps
=ps−x2qr
