4. Let \( f(x) = \sqrt{2x} \). If the rate of change of \( f \) at \( x = c \) is four times its rate of change at \( x = 1 \), then \( c = \)






Answer is: option1

\( \frac{1}{16} \)

Solution:

Rate of change of \( f \) at \( x = c \) is \( f'(c) \)

Rate of change of \( f \) at \( x = 1 \) is \( f'(1) \)

\( f'(c) = 4 f'(1) \)

\( f'(x) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2x}} \cdot 2 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2x}} \)

\( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2c}} = 4 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \)

\( \frac{1}{2c} = 16 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 8 \)

\( c = \frac{1}{16} \) Ans
