    A differentiable function\[f(x)\]is defined for all \[x>0\]and satisfies\[f({{x}^{3}})=4{{x}^{4}}\]for all\[x>0\]. The value of\[f(8)\]is:

    A)  \[\frac{16}{3}\]                               

    B)  \[\frac{32}{3}\]

    C)  \[\frac{16\sqrt{2}}{3}\]

    D)         \[\frac{32\sqrt{2}}{3}\]

    E)  \[\frac{32{{(2)}^{1/3}}}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[f({{x}^{3}})=4{{x}^{4}}\forall x>0\] Let\[{{x}^{3}}=t\Rightarrow x={{t}^{1/3}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[f(t)=4{{t}^{4/3}}\] On differentiating w.r.t. t, we get \[f(t)=4.\frac{4}{3}{{(t)}^{\frac{4}{3}-1}}=4.\frac{4}{3}{{(t)}^{1/3}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[f({{x}^{3}})=\frac{16}{3}{{({{x}^{3}})}^{1/3}}=\frac{16}{3}x\] \[\therefore \]  \[f(8)=f({{2}^{3}})=\frac{16}{3}\times 2=\frac{32}{3}\]
