The correct Answer is:
To differentiate the given expression \[ f(x) = \frac{1}{1+x^{b-a}+x^{c-a}} + \frac{1}{1+x^{a-b}+x^{c-b}} + \frac{1}{1+x^{a-c}+x^{b-c}} \] with respect to \(x\), we will simplify the expression first before differentiating. ### Step 1: Simplify the Expression We can rewrite each term in the expression: 1. The first term can be rewritten as: \[ \frac{1}{1+x^{b-a}+x^{c-a}} = \frac{1}{1 + \frac{x^{b}}{x^{a}} + \frac{x^{c}}{x^{a}}} = \frac{x^{a}}{x^{a} + x^{b} + x^{c}} \] 2. The second term can be rewritten as: \[ \frac{1}{1+x^{a-b}+x^{c-b}} = \frac{1}{1 + \frac{x^{a}}{x^{b}} + \frac{x^{c}}{x^{b}}} = \frac{x^{b}}{x^{a} + x^{b} + x^{c}} \] 3. The third term can be rewritten as: \[ \frac{1}{1+x^{a-c}+x^{b-c}} = \frac{1}{1 + \frac{x^{a}}{x^{c}} + \frac{x^{b}}{x^{c}}} = \frac{x^{c}}{x^{a} + x^{b} + x^{c}} \] Now, combining these three terms, we have: \[ f(x) = \frac{x^{a}}{x^{a} + x^{b} + x^{c}} + \frac{x^{b}}{x^{a} + x^{b} + x^{c}} + \frac{x^{c}}{x^{a} + x^{b} + x^{c}} \] ### Step 2: Combine the Terms Since all three fractions have the same denominator, we can combine them: \[ f(x) = \frac{x^{a} + x^{b} + x^{c}}{x^{a} + x^{b} + x^{c}} = 1 \] ### Step 3: Differentiate the Simplified Expression Now, we differentiate \(f(x)\): \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(1) = 0 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the derivative of the given expression with respect to \(x\) is: \[ \boxed{0} \]
