  • question_answer
    The area bounded by the x-axis, the curve \[y=f(x)\], and the lines x = 1, x = b is equal to\[\sqrt{{{b}^{2}}+1}-\sqrt{2}\] for all b > l, then f(x) is

    A) \[\sqrt{x-1}\]     

    B) \[\sqrt{x+1}\]

    C) \[\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+1}\]

    D) \[\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Area \[=\int_{1}^{b}{f(x)dx=\sqrt{{{b}^{2}}+1}}-\sqrt{2}\] \[=\sqrt{{{b}^{2}}+1}-\sqrt{1+1}\] \[=\left| \sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+1} \right|_{1}^{b}\] \[\therefore f(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left( \sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+1} \right)=\frac{1}{2}\frac{2x}{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+1}}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+1}}\]
