Question on: JAMB Mathematics - 2006

Differentiate (x2 - 1/x)2 with respect to x

A
4x2 - 4x - 2/x
B
4x2 - 2 + 2/x3
C
4x2 - 2 - 2/x3
D
4x2 - 3x + 2/x
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C

y = (x2 - 1/x)2

y = (x2 - 1/x)(x2 - 1/x)

y = x4 - x - x + 1/x2

y = x4 - 2x + 1/x2

y= x4 - 2x + x-2

dy/dx = 4x2 - 2 - 2x-3

= 4x2 - 2 - 2/x3
