x

is very small in magnitude compared with

a

, then

\left(\frac{a}{a+x}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}+\left(\frac{a}{a-x}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}

can be approximately equal to

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

2+\frac{3}{4} \frac{x^2}{a^2}

Option D (

2+\frac{3}{4} \frac{x^2}{a^2}

) is correct because using the binomial approximation for small x/a leads to this result.
