Options

A. `f^(n)(1)"is indepent of a"`
B. `f^(n)(1)"is indepent of n"`
C. `f^(n)(1)"is indepent a of n"`
D. `y=a(x-f^(n)(1))` represent a straight line through the origin

Answer

To solve the given problem, we will analyze the determinant \( f(x) \) and compute its \( n \)-th derivative. The determinant is given as:

\[ f(x) = \begin{vmatrix} \frac{1}{x} & \log x & x^n \\ 1 & -\frac{1}{n} & (-1)^n \\ 1 & a & a^2 \end{vmatrix} \]

### Step 1: Calculate the determinant \( f(x) \)

We can compute the determinant using the formula for a \( 3 \times 3 \) matrix:

\[ f(x) = a(ei - fh) - b(di - fg) + c(dh - eg) \]

Where \( a, b, c \) are the elements of the first row, and \( d, e, f, g, h, i \) are the elements of the second and third rows.

Substituting the values from our determinant:

\[ f(x) = \frac{1}{x} \left( -\frac{1}{n} \cdot a^2 - (-1)^n \cdot a \right) - \log x \left( 1 \cdot a^2 - (-1)^n \cdot 1 \right) + x^n \left( 1 \cdot (-1)^n - 1 \cdot (-\frac{1}{n}) \right) \]

### Step 2: Simplify the determinant

Now we simplify each term:

1. The first term:
\[ \frac{1}{x} \left( -\frac{a^2}{n} + (-1)^{n+1} a \right) \]

2. The second term:
\[ -\log x \left( a^2 + (-1)^n \right) \]

3. The third term:
\[ x^n \left( (-1)^n + \frac{1}{n} \right) \]

Combining these, we get:

\[ f(x) = \frac{(-1)^{n+1} a - \frac{a^2}{n}}{x} - \log x (a^2 + (-1)^n) + x^n \left( (-1)^n + \frac{1}{n} \right) \]

### Step 3: Find the \( n \)-th derivative \( f^{(n)}(x) \)

To find \( f^{(n)}(x) \), we differentiate \( f(x) \) \( n \) times.

1. The first term \( \frac{(-1)^{n+1} a - \frac{a^2}{n}}{x} \) will contribute to the \( n \)-th derivative.
2. The second term \( -\log x (a^2 + (-1)^n) \) will also contribute.
3. The third term \( x^n \left( (-1)^n + \frac{1}{n} \right) \) will contribute as well.

### Step 4: Analyze the derivatives

After differentiating, we will find that the contributions from the first two terms will vanish due to their structure, leaving us with the contribution from the third term, which is a polynomial in \( x \).

### Final Result

After computing the derivatives, we find that:

\[ f^{(n)}(x) = 0 \]

This indicates that \( f^{(n)}(x) \) is independent of both \( a \) and \( n \).

### Conclusion

Thus, we conclude that:

- \( f^{(n)}(x) \) is independent of \( a \) and \( n \).
- The equation \( y = a(x - f^{(n)}(1)) \) represents a straight line through the origin.
