consider the function y=1/[x+x^{2}]
find the value of 100000 * + 9999900000 * as value of x tends to zero.
denotes the n'th derivative of y.

given y=1/[x+x^{2}] hence y(x+x^{2}) = 1. (asterix denotes multiplication)
differentiating once we get
y ( 1 ) * (x+x^{2}) + y * (2x+1) =0 ( first derivative relation )
differentiating again we get ....
y ( 2 ) * (x+x^{2}) + 2 * y ( 1 ) (2x+1) + 2 * y =0 ( second derivative relation )
going on like that ... we get the general form to be ........
(x+x^{2}) * y ( n ) + (2x+1) * y ( n − 1 ) * n + n * (n-1) * y ( n − 2 ) = 0
we need the derivative at x=0 ........... plugging in x=0 and n=100000 we get
100000 * y ( 9 9 9 9 9 ) + 9999900000 * y ( 9 9 9 9 8 ) = 0. hence '0' is the corect answer.
