Answer is: option2
\( y = x^2 - \frac{1}{x} + 3 \)Solution:
Steps:
- Differentiate each option.
- Check which derivative matches \( \frac{dy}{dx} = 2x + x^{-2} \).
- Verify that the correct equation also satisfies \( f(1) = 3 \).
This is not equal to \( 2x + x^{-2} \), so Option A is incorrect.
Option B: \( y = x^2 - \frac{1}{x} + 3 \) \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left( x^2 - x^{-1} + 3 \right) \] \[ = 2x + x^{-2} \]This matches the given derivative. So Option B is a possible correct answer.
Verifying \( f(1) = 3 \) for Option B:We substitute \( x = 1 \) into the correct equation from Step 2, which is Option B:
\[ y = 1^2 - \frac{1}{1} + 3 \] \[ = 1 - 1 + 3 \] \[ = 3 \]Since this satisfies the given point \( (1,3) \), Option B is the correct answer.
