    If the function \[f(x)\] is defined by \[f(x)=a+bx\] and \[{{f}^{r}}=fff...\] (repeated \[r\] times), then\[\frac{d}{dx}\{{{f}^{r}}(x)\}\]is equal to

    A) \[a+{{b}^{r}}x\]               

    B) \[ar+{{b}^{r}}x\]

    C) \[ar\]                                    

    D) \[{{b}^{r}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[\because \]\[f(x)=a+bx\]                 \[f\{f(x)\}=a+b(a+bx)\]                 \[=ab+a+{{b}^{2}}x=a(1+b)+{{b}^{2}}x\]                 \[f[f\{f(x)\}]=f\{a(1+b)+{{b}^{2}}x\}\]                 \[=a+b\{a(1+b)+{{b}^{2}}x\}\]                 \[=a(1+b+{{b}^{2}})+{{b}^{3}}x\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{f}^{r}}(x)=a(1+b+{{b}^{2}}+...+{{b}^{r-1}})+{{b}^{r}}x\]                 \[=a\left( \frac{{{b}^{r}}-1}{b-1} \right)+{{b}^{r}}x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{d}{dx}\{f'(x)\}={{b}^{r}}\]
