+ 2 ( x+1 ) 3

D

+ 2 2x+1

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

2 ( 2x+1 ) 3

-2 / (2x + 1)3

Solution :

The correct option is:
- 2 ( 2x+1 ) 3

Step-by-step Derivation:

We are given the relation between time (t) and position (x) of a moving particle:
t = x 2 + x

To find the velocity and acceleration, we differentiate this equation with respect to time (t). Using the chain rule for differentiation:
d t d t = d d t ( x 2 + x )
1 = ( 2 x + 1 ) d x d t

Since velocity (v) is defined as the rate of change of position with respect to time (v=dxdt), we can write:
1 = ( 2 x + 1 ) v
Solving for v gives:
v = 1 2 x + 1 = ( 2 x + 1 ) - 1

Acceleration (a) is the derivative of velocity with respect to time (a=dvdt). Differentiating v with respect to t using the chain rule:
a = d v d t = d d t ( 2 x + 1 ) - 1
a = - 1 ( 2 x + 1 ) - 2 d d t ( 2 x + 1 )
a = - ( 2 x + 1 ) - 2 ( 2 d x d t )
Substituting dxdt=v:
a = - 2 ( 2 x + 1 ) - 2 v

Now, we substitute the expression for v back into the acceleration equation:
a = - 2 ( 2 x + 1 ) - 2 ( 2 x + 1 ) - 1
a = - 2 ( 2 x + 1 ) - 3
Simplifying the negative exponent representation:
a = - 2 ( 2 x + 1 ) 3
