$y=(1+x)\left(1+x^2\right)\left(1+x^4\right) \ldots \ldots \ldots\left(1+x^{2 n}\right) \text {, }$ then the value of $\frac{d y}{d x}$ at $x=0$ is
  1. 0
  2. -1
  3. 1
  4. 2

Solution

$y=(1+x)\left(1+x^2\right)\left(1+x^4\right) \ldots\left(1+x^{2 n}\right)$ Taking ' $\log$ ' on both sides, we get $\begin{aligned} \log y=\log (1+x)+\log \left(1+x^2\right) & +\log \left(1+x^4\right) \\ & +\ldots+\log \left(1+x^{2 \mathrm{n}}\right) \end{aligned}$ Differentiating w.r.t. $x$, we get $\frac{1}{y} \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\frac{1}{1+x}+\frac{2 x}{1+x^2}+\frac{4 x^3}{1+x^4}+\ldots+\frac{2 \mathrm{n} \times x^{2 \mathrm{n}-1}}{1+x^{2 \mathrm{n}}}$ At $x=0$, (i) $\Rightarrow y=1$ $\therefore \quad\left(\right.$ ii) $\left.\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\right|_{x=0}=1+0+0+\ldots+0=1$
