    If \[f(x)\] and \[g(x)\] are two functions with \[g(x)=x-\frac{1}{x}\]and \[fog(x)={{x}^{3}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}\], then\[f'(x)\] is equal to

    A) \[3{{x}^{2}}+3\]                               

    B) \[{{x}^{2}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}\]

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

    D) \[3{{x}^{2}}+\frac{3}{{{x}^{4}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[fog(x)={{x}^{3}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}\] Writing\[{{x}^{3}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}\]using \[{{(a-b)}^{3}}={{a}^{3}}-{{b}^{3}}-3ab(a-b),\], we have                 \[{{\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{3}}={{x}^{3}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}-3x\cdot \frac{1}{x}\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{3}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}={{\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{3}}+3\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)\] We have, \[f(g(x))={{x}^{3}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}}={{\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{3}}+3\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)\] As\[g(x)=x-\frac{1}{x}\], this yields                 \[f\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)={{\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{3}}+3\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)\] On putting\[x-\frac{1}{x}=t\], we get                 \[f(t)={{t}^{3}}+3t\] Thus,     \[f(x)={{t}^{3}}+3x,\] and        \[f'(x)=3{{x}^{2}}+3\]
