  • Answer

Let the functions f(α,x)f(\alpha, x) and g(α)g(\alpha) be defined as

f(α,x)=(x2)αx−1g(α)=d4fdx4∣x=2f(\alpha, x)=\frac{\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^{\alpha}}{x-1} g(\alpha)=\left.\frac{d^{4} f}{d x^{4}}\right|_{x=2}

Then g(α)g(\alpha) is a polynomial in α\alpha. Find the leading coefficient of g(α)g(\alpha).
