To find the function f(x), we start by evaluating the given limit for any x>0:
limt→xt9−x9t10f(x)−x10f(t)=1
As t→x, the numerator approaches x10f(x)−x10f(x)=0, and the denominator approaches x9−x9=0. Since this is an indeterminacy of the form [00] and f(x) is continuously differentiable, we can apply L'Hôpital's Rule with respect to t:
limt→xdtd(t9−x9)dtd(t10f(x)−x10f(t))=1
limt→x9t810t9f(x)−x10f′(t)=1
Substituting t=x into the simplified expression gives:
9x810x9f(x)−x10f′(x)=1
Multiply both sides by 9x8:
10x9f(x)−x10f′(x)=9x8
Divide through by x9 (since x>0):
10f(x)−xf′(x)=x9
Rearranging into the standard form of a first-order linear differential equation:
f′(x)−x10f(x)=−x29
To solve this linear differential equation, we find the Integrating Factor (I.F.):
I.F.=e∫−x10dx=e−10lnx=x−10
Multiplying the differential equation by the integrating factor gives:
dxd[f(x)⋅x−10]=−x29⋅x−10=−9x−12
Integrating both sides with respect to x:
f(x)⋅x−10=∫−9x−12dx+C
f(x)⋅x−10=−9(−11x−11)+C
f(x)⋅x−10=119x−11+C
Multiplying through by x10:
f(x)=11x9+Cx10
Using the given initial condition f(1)=2:
f(1)=11(1)9+C(1)10=2
119+C=2⟹C=2−119=1113
Thus, the function f(x) is:
f(x)=11x9+1113x10
This matches Option (B).
