To find the function f(x), we begin by evaluating the given limit for each x>0:
limt→xt−xt2f(x)−x2f(t)=1
Since x is held fixed as t→x, this limit is in the indeterminate form 00. Applying L'Hôpital's Rule with respect to the variable t:
limt→xdtd(t−x)dtd(t2f(x)−x2f(t))=limt→x12tf(x)−x2f′(t)
Evaluating the limit as t→x:
2xf(x)−x2f′(x)=1
Rearranging the terms gives a first-order linear differential equation in standard form:
x2f′(x)−2xf(x)=−1
f′(x)−x2f(x)=−x21
To solve this linear differential equation, we determine the integrating factor μ(x):
μ(x)=e∫−x2dx=e−2lnx=x21
Multiplying the differential equation by the integrating factor:
x21f′(x)−x32f(x)=−x41
dxd(x2f(x))=−x41
Integrating both sides with respect to x:
x2f(x)=∫−x−4dx=3x31+C
f(x)=3x1+Cx2
Using the initial condition f(1)=1:
1=3(1)1+C(1)2⟹1=31+C⟹C=32
Substituting C back into the expression for f(x):
f(x)=3x1+32x2
Thus, the correct option is A.
