Given, f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y) + xy
2 + x
2y ...(1)
differentiating partially with respect to x,
f'(x+y) = f'(x) + 0 + y
2 + y(2x) [y = constant]
Put x = 0 and y = x
∴ f'(x) = f'(0) + x
2 ....(2)
putting x = y = 0 at equation (1),
f(0) = 2f(0)
⇒ f(0) = 0
Given,
x→0limxf(x)=1This is in
00 form, so we can apply L' hospital rule.
x→0lim1f′(x)=1⇒f′(0)=1Putting value of f'(0) at equation (2), we get
f'(x) = 1 + x
2∴ f'(3) = 1 + 3
2 = 10
