    For\[|x|\,\,<1\], let\[y=1+x+{{x}^{2}}+...\]to\[\infty \], then\[\frac{dy}{dx}=-y\]is equal to:

    A) \[\frac{x}{y}\]                                   

    B) \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{{{y}^{2}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{x}{{{y}^{2}}}\]                                    

    D) \[x{{y}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given series is                 \[y=1+x+{{x}^{2}}+....\infty \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[y=\frac{1}{1-x}\]           \[(\because \]infinite\[GP\]series) On differentiating w.r.t.\[x,\] we get                 \[\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{(-1)}{{{(1-x)}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{{{(1-x)}^{2}}}\] \[\therefore \]    \[\frac{dy}{dx}-y=\frac{1}{{{(1-x)}^{2}}}-\frac{1}{1-x}=\frac{1-1+x}{{{(1-x)}^{2}}}\]                       \[=x{{y}^{2}}\] Note: If infinite \[GP\] series is                 \[y=1+x+{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{3}}+...\] The sum  \[\frac{1}{1-x}\] is possible only when\[|x|\,\,<1\].
