Based on the following given information answer the question

Consider the function f(x)=x∣x∣f(x) = x|x|, x∈Rx \in R.

The slope of the tangent drawn at the point whose x coordinates is 2 on the curve y=x∣x∣y = x|x|.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

For x>0x > 0, y=x∣x∣=x2y = x|x| = x^2.

dydx=2x\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x.

At x=2x = 2, slope =2×2=4= 2 \times 2 = 4.
