Question 12 Marks
If $y=\left(2 x^{2}+3\right)(3 x-2)$ then find derivative of $y$ with respect to $x$.
Answer
$y =\left(2 x^{2}+3\right)(3 x-2)$
$\text { Take, } u=2 x^{2}+3 \text { and } v=3 x-2 .$
$\therefore \frac{d u}{d x} =4 x \text { and } \frac{d v}{d x}=3 $
$ \text { Now, } y=u \cdot v . $
$\therefore \frac{d y}{d x} =u \frac{d v}{d x}+v \frac{d u}{d x}$
$ =\left(2 x^{2}+3\right)(3)+(3 x-2)(4 x)$
$ =6 x^{2}+9+12 x^{2}-8 x$
$ =18 x^{2}-8 x+9 $
Note : Illustration $9$ can also be solved using working rule $1$ by simplifying $y$ i.e. multiplying two terms of $y$

Question 22 Marks
Find $\frac{d y}{d x}$ for $y=x^{4}-3 x^{2}+2 x-3$
Answer
$ y =x^{4}-3 x^{2}+2 x-3$
$\therefore \frac{d y}{d x} =\frac{d}{d x}\left(x^{4}-3 x^{2}+2 x-3\right)$
$ =\frac{d}{d x}\left(x^{4}\right)-\frac{d}{d x}\left(3 x^{2}\right)+\frac{d}{d x}(2 x)-\frac{d}{d x}(3)$
$ =\frac{d}{d x}\left(x^{4}\right)-3 \frac{d}{d x}\left(x^{2}\right)+2 \frac{d}{d x}(x)-\frac{d}{d x}(3)$
$ =4 x^{3}-3(2 x)+2(1)-(0)$

Question 32 Marks
Obtain derivative of $f(x)=k \quad(k$ is constant) with the help of definition.
Answer
Here, $f(x)=k$
$ \therefore f(x+h)=k $
Now, $f^{\prime}(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \underset{h}{f(x+h)-f(x)}$
$ =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{k-k}{h}$
$ =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{0}{h}$
$ =0 $
Hence, if $f(x)=k$ then $f^{\prime}(x)=0$

Question 42 Marks
The cost function of a commodity is $C=5 x^{2}+6 x+2000$, where $x$ is the number of units produced. Find marginal cost when production is $\mathbf{5 0}$ units.
Answer
Cost function $C=5 x^{2}+6 x+2000$
$\therefore \quad$ Marginal Cost $\frac{d C}{d x}=10 x+6$
When $x=50$ then
$ \text { Marginal Cost } \frac{d C}{d x}=10(50)+6 $
$ =506 $
Interpretation : The cost of producing the 51st unit is approximately ₹ 506 .

Question 52 Marks
If the demand function of pizza is $p=150-4 x$ then find the marginal revenue when demand is of $3$ pizzas and interpret it.
Answer
Here, demand function $p=150-4 x$
Now, revenue function $R=p \cdot x$
$ =(150-4 x) x$
$\therefore R =150 x-4 x^{2} $
Marginal revenue $\frac{d R}{d x}=150-8 x$
When demand of pizza is $x=3$ then
Marginal revenue $\frac{d R}{d x}=150-8(3)$
Interpretation : Revenue for selling the $4 th$ pizza is approximately $₹ 126$.

Question 72 Marks
Obtain $\frac{d y}{d x}$ for $y=3 x^{4}-2 x^{3}+x^{2}-8 x+7$. Also obtain its value at $x=1$.
Answer
$ y=3 x^{4}-2 x^{3}+x^{2}-8 x+7$
$\therefore \frac{d y}{d x} =12 x^{3}-6 x^{2}+2 x-8$
$\therefore \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}} =\frac{d}{d x}\left[\frac{d y}{d x}\right]$
$ =\frac{d}{d x}\left[12 x^{3}-6 x^{2}+2 x-8\right]$
$ =36 x^{2}-12 x+2 $
Putting $x=1$,
$ \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}} =36(1)^{2}-12(1)+2$
$ =36-12+2$

Question 112 Marks
Find $\frac{d y}{d x}, y=\sqrt{x^{2}+3}$.
Answer
$ y=\sqrt{x^{2}+3} $
Taking $u=x^{2}+3, y=\sqrt{u}$
$ \therefore \frac{d u}{d x}=2 x \text { and } \frac{d y}{d u}=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{u}} \text {. } $
Now, $\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d y}{d u} \times \frac{d u}{d x}$
$ =\left(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{u}}\right)(2 x)$
$ =\frac{x}{\sqrt{u}} $
Putting value of $u$,
$ \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2}+3}} $

If $y=\frac{3}{4 x+5}$ then differentiate $y$ with respect to $x$.
Answer
$ y=\frac{3}{4 x+5}$
$\text { Take } u=3 \text { and } v=4 x+5 .$
$ \therefore \frac{d u}{d x}=0 \text { and } \frac{d v}{d x}=4 $

Answer
Here, $f(x)=x$
$ \therefore f(x+h)=x+h $
Now, $f^{\prime}(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

Question 162 Marks
Find $f”(x)$ if $f(x) = \sqrt[4]{x}$.
Answer
Here, $f(x) = \sqrt[4]{x} = x^{\frac{1}{4}}$
$f'(x) = \frac{1}{4} \mathrm{x}^{1 / 4} 4^{-1}=\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{x}^{-3 / 4}$
Now, $f’’(x) = \frac{1}{4}\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right) x^{\frac{-3}{4}-1}$
$= \frac{-3}{16} x^{-7 / 4}=\frac{-3}{16 x^{7 / 4}}$
Hence, if $f(x) = x^{\frac{1}{4}}$ Then $f’’(x) =\frac{-3}{16 x^7 / 4}$

Obtain marginal cost if the production cost function is $C=0.0012 x^2-0.18 x+25$.
Answer
$C=0.0012 x^2-0.18 x+25$
Now, marginal cost
$=\frac{d \mathrm{C}}{d x}$
$=\frac{d}{d x}\left[0.0012 x^2-0.18 x+25\right]$
$=0.0012(2 x)-0.18(1)+0$
$=0.0024 x-0.18$
Hence, $C=0.0012 x^2-0.18 x+25$ then marginal cost obtained is $0.0024 x-0.18$

Question 242 Marks
Find $\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}$ if $y =\sqrt{x}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}$
Answer
Here, $y = \sqrt{x}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}$
$=x^{\frac{1}{2}}+x^{-\frac{1}{2}}$
$\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{x}^{-\frac{1}{2}}-\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{x}^{-\frac{3}{2}}$
Now,$\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=\frac{d}{d x}\left[\frac{d y}{d x}\right]$
$=\frac{d}{d x}\left[\frac{1}{2} x^{-\frac{1}{2}}-\frac{1}{2} x^{-\frac{3}{2}}\right]$
$=-\frac{1}{4} x^{-\frac{3}{2}}+\frac{3}{4} x^{-\frac{5}{2}}$
$=\frac{-1}{4 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}+\frac{3}{4 x^{\frac{5}{2}}}$
$\therefore\ \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=\frac{-1}{4 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}+\frac{3}{4 x^{\frac{5}{2}}}$

Find ${\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}}$if $ y=2 x^3+5 x^2-3+\frac{4}{x^2}-\frac{5}{x^3}$
Answer
Here $y=2 x^3+5 x^2-3+\frac{4}{x^2}-\frac{5}{x^3}$
$=2 x^3+5 x^2-3+4 x^{-2}-5 x^{-3}$
$\therefore \frac{d y}{d x}=6 x^2+10 x^2-0-8 x^{-3}-15 x^{-4}$
Now,$\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2} \quad=\frac{d}{d x}\left[\frac{d y}{d x}\right]$
$=\frac{d}{d x}\left[6 x^2+10 x^2-8 x^{-3}-15 x^{-4}\right]$
$=12 x+10+24 x^{-} 60 x^{-5}$
$=12 x+10+\frac{24}{x^4}-\frac{60}{x^5}$
$\therefore \frac{ d ^2 y}{d x^2}=12 x+10+\frac{24}{x^4}-\frac{60}{x^5}$

Question 262 Marks
If $f(x) = 3x^2 + 3$ then for which value of $x, f’(x) = f(x)?$
Answer
Here, $f(x) = 3x^2 + 3$
$\therefore f'(x) = 6x + 0 = 6x$
Now, $f’(x) = f(x)$
$6x = 3x^2 + 3$
$\therefore 3x^2 – 6x + 3 = 0$
$\therefore x^2 – 2x + 1 = 0$
$\therefore (x - 1)^2 = 0$
$\therefore (x - 1) (x - 1) = 0$
$\therefore x = 1$
Hence, if $x = 1$, then $f’(x) = f(x).$

Question 272 Marks
$f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 3x + 7,$ prove that $f’(2) = 35.$
Answer
$f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 3x + 7$
$\therefore f'(x) = 3x^2 + 10x + 3$
Now, putting $x = 2$
$f'(2)$ $= 3(2)^2 + 10(2) + 3$
  $= 3(4) + 20 + 3$
  $= 12 + 20 + 3$
  $= 35$
Hence, if $f(x) x^3 + 5x^2 + 3x + 7$ then $f’(2) = 35$
$f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 3x + 7$
