Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 6

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(f(x)=x^{1 / 2}\) \[ \begin{array}{cc} f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{2} x^{-\frac{1}{2}} & \\ f^{\prime}(c)=\frac{1}{2} c^{-\frac{1}{2}}, & g(x)=x^{-\frac{1}{2}} \\ g^{\prime}(x)=\frac{-1}{2} x^{-\frac{3}{2}} & g^{\prime}(c)=-\frac{1}{2} c^{-\frac{3}{2}} \end{array} \] Now,…
