So, f[x] = 1/4x^2 - 1/2Ln(x)
<span>thus f'[x] = 1/4*2x - 1/2*(1/x) = x/2 - 1/2x </span>
<span>thus f'[x]^2 = (x^2)/4 - 2*(x/2)*(1/2x) + 1/(4x^2) = (x^2)/4 - 1/2 + 1/(4x^2) </span>
<span>thus f'[x]^2 + 1 = (x^2)/4 + 1/2 + 1/(4x^2) = (x/2 + 1/2x)^2 </span>
<span>thus Sqrt[...] = (x/2 + 1/2x) </span>
(x-1)(x-9)
Hope this helps
i think the best answer for this question is A)
0.63x12= 7.5 so the answer is 7.5
178+63+37=278 So if we were ESTIMATING it would be around 280.
I hope that this helps!
