Practicing Success
If $f(x)=|x|^{|\tan x|}$, then $f'\left(\frac{-\pi}{6}\right)$ is equal to |
$\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)^{1 / \sqrt{3}}\left\{\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{\pi}-\frac{4}{3} \log \frac{6}{\pi}\right\}$ $\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)^{1 / \sqrt{3}}\left\{\frac{-2 \sqrt{3}}{\pi}+\frac{4}{3} \log \frac{6}{\pi}\right\}$ $\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)^{1 / \sqrt{3}}\left\{\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{\pi}+\frac{4}{3} \log \frac{6}{\pi}\right\}$ none of these |
$\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)^{1 / \sqrt{3}}\left\{\frac{-2 \sqrt{3}}{\pi}+\frac{4}{3} \log \frac{6}{\pi}\right\}$ |
In the neighbourhood of $x=-\frac{\pi}{6}$, we have $|x| =-x$ and $|\tan x|=-\tan x$ ∴ $f(x)=(-x)^{-\tan x}$ $\Rightarrow f(x)=e^{-\tan x . \log (-x)}$ $\Rightarrow f'(x)=(-x)^{-\tan x}\left\{-\sec ^2 x . \log (-x)-\frac{\tan x}{x}\right\}$ $\Rightarrow f'\left(\frac{-\pi}{6}\right)=\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)^{1 / \sqrt{3}}\left\{-\frac{4}{3} \log \frac{\pi}{6}-\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{\pi}\right\}$ $\Rightarrow f'\left(\frac{-\pi}{6}\right)=\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)^{1 / \sqrt{3}}\left\{\frac{4}{3} \log \frac{6}{\pi}-\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{\pi}\right\}$ |
