Given $a f(x)+b f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)=\frac{1}{x}-5, x \neq 0, a \neq b$. Find $f(x)$.
If for a non-zero $x$, the function $f(x)$ satisfies the equation $a f(x)+b f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)=\frac{1}{x}-5(a \neq b)$ then $f^{\prime}(x)$ is equal to (A) $\frac{1}{b^{2}-a^{2}}\left(\frac{a}{x^{2}}+b\right)$ (B) $\frac{1}{a^{2}-b^{2}}\left(\frac{a}{x^{2}}+b\right)$ (C) $\frac{1}{a^{2}-b^{2}}\left(\frac{a}{x^{2}}-b\right)$ (D) None of these
For $f(x)=b^{x}(b>0, b \neq 1),$ find $f(0)$
