If $ f(x)=(x-2)(x-4)(x-6)....(x-2n), $ then $ f'(2) $ is
- $ {{(-1)}^{n}}{{2}^{n-1}}(n-1)! $
- $ {{(-2)}^{n-1}}{{2}^{n}}(n-1)! $
- $ {{(-2)}^{n}}n! $
- $ {{(-1)}^{n-1}}{{2}^{n}}(n-1)! $
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
aOn differentiating w.r.t. $ x, $ we get
$ \frac{1}{f(x)}f(x)=\frac{1}{(x-2)}+\frac{1}{(x-4)} $ $ +...+\frac{1}{(x-2n)} $ $ f(x)=(x-4)(x-6)...(x-2n) $ $ +(x-2)(x-6)....(x-2n) $ $ +.....+(x-2)(x-6)...(x-2(n-1)) $
$ \therefore $ $ f(2)=(-2)(-4)....(2-2n) $
$={{(-2)}^{n-1}}(1.2....(n-1))={{(-2)}^{n-1}}(n-1)! $

Concepts Used:
Limits And Derivatives
Mathematically, a limit is explained as a value that a function approaches as the input, and it produces some value. Limits are essential in calculus and mathematical analysis and are used to define derivatives, integrals, and continuity.

Derivatives of a Function:
A derivative is referred to the instantaneous rate of change of a quantity with response to the other. It helps to look into the moment-by-moment nature of an amount. The derivative of a function is shown in the below-given formula.
