    If f be a function given by \[f(x)=2{{x}^{2}}+3x-5.\] Then, \[f'(0)=mf'(-1),\] where m is equal to

    A) -1

    B) -2

    C) -3

    D) -4

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] We first find the derivatives of \[f\left( x \right)\]at \[x=-1\] and at \[x=0.\]
    We have,
    \[f'(-1)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(-1+h)-f(-1)}{h}\]
    \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{[2{{(-1+h)}^{2}}+3(-1+h)-5]-[2{{(-1)}^{2}}+3(-1)-5]}{h}\]\[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{2{{h}^{2}}-h}{h}=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,(2h-1)=2(0)-1=-1\]
    and \[f'(0)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(0+h)-f(0)}{h}\]
    \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{[2{{(0+h)}^{2}}+3(0+h)-5]-[2{{(0)}^{2}}+3(0)-5]}{h}\]
    \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{2{{h}^{2}}+3h}{h}=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,(2h+3)=2(0)+3=3\]
    Clearly, \[f'(0)=-3\,f'(-1)\]
