If the function $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}\frac{{k\cos x}}{{\pi - 2x}},{\rm{when }}x \ne \frac{\pi }{2}\\3,\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;{\rm{when }}x = \frac{\pi }{2}\end{array} \right.$ be continuous at $x = \frac{\pi }{2}$, then $ k =$
Answerb
(b) $f\,(\pi /2) = 3$. Since $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = \pi /2$
$ \Rightarrow \,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \pi /2} \,\left( {\frac{{k\cos x}}{{\pi - 2x}}} \right) = f\left( {\frac{\pi }{2}} \right)\,\, $
$\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{k}{2} = 3\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,k = 6.$

The value of $k$ so that the function $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}k(2x - {x^2}),\;\;\;{\rm{when\,}}\,x < 0\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\cos x,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\rm{when\,}}\,x \ge {\rm{0}}\end{array} \right.$ is continuous at $x = 0$, is
Answerd
(d) $f(0 - ) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0 - } \,k(2x - {x^2}) = 0$;
$f(0 + ) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0 + } \,\cos x = 1$
$\therefore \,\,\,f(0) = \cos x = 1$
Hence no value of $k$ can make $f(0 - ) = 1.$

$a = 1,\;b = - 1$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $a = 1,\;b = - 1$
d
(d) $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 4 - } f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} f(4 - h) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{4 - h - 4}}{{|4 - h - 4|}} + a$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} - \frac{h}{h} + a = a - 1.$

and $f(4) = a + b$
Since $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 4$
Therefore $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 4 - } f(x) = f(4) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 4 + } f(x)$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,a - 1 = a + b = b + 1\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,b = - 1$ and $a = 1.$

Find the relationship be $a$ and $b$ so that the function $f$ defined by $f(x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}
{ax + 1,{\rm{ if }}\,x\, \le \,3}\\
{bx + 3,{\rm{ if }}\,x\, > \,3}
\end{array}} \right.$ is continous at $x=3.$
- A
$a=b+\frac{1}{3}$

$a=b-\frac{2}{3}$
- C
$a=b+\frac{2}{5}$
- ✓
$a=b+\frac{2}{3}$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $a=b+\frac{2}{3}$
d
The given function $f$ is $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}
a x+1, \text { if } x \leq 3 \\
b x+3, \text { if } x>3
\end{array}\right.$
If $f$ is continuous at $x=3,$ then
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ - }} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ - }} f(x) = f(3)$ ............. $(1)$
Also, $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ - }} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ - }} f(ax + 1) = 3a + 1$
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ + }} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ + }} f(bx + 1) = 3b + 3$
$f(3)=3 a+1$
Therefore, from $(1),$ we obtain
$3 a+1=3 b+3=3 a+1$
$\Rightarrow 3 a+1=3 b+3$
$\Rightarrow 3 a=3 b+2$
$\Rightarrow a=b+\frac{2}{3}$
Therefore, the required relationship is given by, $a=b+\frac{2}{3}$

Find the values of $k$ so that the function $f$ is continuous at the indicated point.
$f(x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}
{\frac{{k\cos x}}{{\pi - 2x}},}&{{\rm{ if }}\,x\, \ne \,\frac{\pi }{2}}\\
{3,}&{{\rm{ if }}\,x\, = \,\frac{\pi }{2}}
\end{array}} \right.$ at $x = \frac{\pi }{2}$
Answera
The given function $f$ is $f(x)\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}
{\frac{{k\cos x}}{{\pi - 2x}},}&{{\rm{ if }}\,x\, \ne \,\frac{\pi }{2}}\\
{3,}&{{\rm{ if }}\,x\, = \,\frac{\pi }{2}}
\end{array}} \right.$
The given function $f$ is continuous at $x=\frac{\pi}{2},$ it is defined at $x=\frac{\pi}{2}$ and if the value of the $f$ at $x=\frac{\pi}{2}$ equals the limit of $f$ at $x=\frac{\pi}{2}$
It is evident that $f$ is defined at $x=\frac{\pi}{2}$ and $f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=3$
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 2} \frac{\pi }{2}f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \frac{\pi }{2}} \frac{{k\cos x}}{{\pi - 2x}}$
Put $x=\frac{\pi}{2}+h$
Then, $x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow h \rightarrow 0$
$\therefore \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \frac{\pi }{2}} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \frac{\pi }{2}} \frac{{k\cos x}}{{\pi - 2x}} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{k\cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{2} + h} \right)}}{{\pi - 2\left( {\frac{\pi }{2} + h} \right)}}$
$ = k\mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{ - \sin \,h}}{{ - 2h}} = \frac{k}{2}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{\sin \,h}}{h} = \frac{k}{2} \cdot 1 = \frac{k}{2}$
$\therefore \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \frac{\pi }{2}} f(x) = f\left( {\frac{\pi }{2}} \right)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{k}{2}=3$
$\Rightarrow k=6$
Therefore, the required value of $k$ is $6.$

- B
Continuous and differentiable at all $x$ in $[0,2]$
- C
Not continuous at any point in $[0,2]$
- D
Not differentiable at any point $[0,2]$
AnswerCorrect option: A. Continuous at all $x$, $0 \le x \le 2$ and differentiable at all $x$, except $1$ in the interval $(0,2)$
a
(a) $f(x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{x{\rm{ ,}}}&{0 \le x \le 1}\\{1{\rm{ ,}}}&{1 < x \le 2}\end{array}} \right.$
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {1^ - }} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} f(1 - h)$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,(1 - h) = 1$
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {1^ + }} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,f(1 + h) = 1$
Hence function is continuous in $(0, 2).$
Now $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,(0 + h) = 0 = f(0)$
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {2^ - }} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,(2 - h) = 1 = f(2)$
Hence function is continuous in $[0, 2]$
Clearly, from graph it is not differentiable at $x = 1.$

At the point $x = 1$, the given function $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}{x^3} - 1;\,\,1 < x < \infty \\x - 1;\,\, - \infty < x \le 1\end{array} \right.$ is
- A
Continuous and differentiable
- ✓
Continuous and not differentiable
- C
Discontinuous and differentiable
- D
Discontinuous and not differentiable
AnswerCorrect option: B. Continuous and not differentiable
b
(b) We have $Rf'(1) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{f(1 + h) - f(1)}}{h}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{\left\{ {{{(1 + h)}^3} - 1} \right\} - 0}}{h} = 3$
$Lf'(1) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{f(1 - h) - f(1)}}{{ - h}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{\left\{ {(1 - h) - 1} \right\} - 0}}{{ - h}} = 1$
$\therefore \,\,\,Rf'(1) \ne Lf'(1)$ $ \Rightarrow \,\,f(x)$ is not differentiable at $x = 1.$
Now, $f(1 + 0) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,f(1 + h) = 0$
and $f(1 - 0) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,f(1 - h) = 0$
$\therefore \,\,\,f(1 + 0) = f(1 - 0) = f(0)$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 1.$

If $f(x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{e^x} + ax,}&{x < 0}\\{b{{(x - 1)}^2},}&{x \ge 0}\end{array}} \right.$ is differentiable at $x = 0,$ then $(a,\,b)$ is

- ✓
$( - 3,\,\,1)$
- C
$(3,\,\,1)$
- D
$(3,\, - 1)$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $( - 3,\,\,1)$
b
(b) Given $f(x)$ is differentiable at $x = 0$.
Hence, $f(x)$ will be continuous at $x = 0$.
$\mathop {{\rm{lim}}}\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} ({e^x} + ax) = \mathop {{\rm{lim}}}\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} b{(x - 1)^2}$
==> ${e^0} + a \times 0 = b{(0 - 1)^2}$ ==> $b = 1$….. $(i)$
But $f(x)$ is differentiable at $x = 0$, then
$Lf'(x) = Rf'(x)$ ==> $\frac{d}{{dx}}({e^x} + ax) = \frac{d}{{dx}}b{(x - 1)^2}$
==> ${e^x} + a = 2b(x - 1)$
At $x = 0,$ ${e^0} + a = - 2b$ ==> $a + 1 = - 2b$ ==> $a = - 3$
==> $(a,\,\,b) = ( - 3,\,\,1)$.

The function $y = {e^{ - |x|}}$ is
- A
Continuous and differentiable at $x = 0$
- B
Neither continuous nor differentiable at $x = 0$
- ✓
Continuous but not differentiable at $x = 0$
- D
Not continuous but differentiable at $x = 0$
AnswerCorrect option: C. Continuous but not differentiable at $x = 0$
c
(c) We have, $f(x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{e^{ - x}},}&{x \ge 0}\\{{e^x},}&{x < 0}\end{array}} \right.$
Clearly, $f(x)$ is continuous and differentiable for all non zero $x.$
Now $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0 - } f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {e^x} = 1$,
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} f(x){e^{ - x}} = 1$
Also, $f(0) = {e^0} = 1$. So, $f(x)$ is continuous for all $x$.
($LHD $ at $x = 0)$ $ = {\left( {\frac{d}{{dx}}({e^x})} \right)_{x = 0}} = 1$
( $RHD $ at $x = 0)$ $ = {\left( {\frac{d}{{dx}}({e^{-x}})} \right)_{x = 0}} = 1$
So, $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 7} \frac{{2 - \sqrt {x - 3} }}{{{x^2} - 49}}$ is not differentiable at $L\,f'\,(1) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{f(1 - h) - f(1)}}{{ - h}}$.
Hence $f(x) = {e^{ - \,|\,x\,|}}$ is everywhere continuous but not differentiable at $x = 0$.

c
(c) $f$ is continuous at $x = 0$, $f({0^ - }) = f({0^ + }) = f(0) = - 1$
Also $Lf'(0) = Rf'(0)$
==> $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f(0 - h) - f(0)}}{{ - h}} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f(0 + h) - f(0)}}{h}$
==> $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \left( {\frac{{{e^{ - 2h}} - 1 + 1}}{{ - h}}} \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \left( {\frac{{ah + \frac{{b{h^2}}}{2} - 1 + 1}}{h}} \right)$
==> $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \left( {\frac{{ - 2{e^{ - 2h}}}}{{ - 1}}} \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \left( {a + \frac{{bh}}{2}} \right)$
==> $2 = a + 0$ ==> $a = 2,\,\,b$ any number.

The function $f(x) = {x^2}\,\,\sin \frac{1}{x},\,x \ne \,0,\,\,f(0)\, = 0$ at $x = 0$
- A
Is continuous but not differentiable
- B
- C
Is having continuous derivative
- ✓
Is continuous and differentiable
AnswerCorrect option: D. Is continuous and differentiable
d
(d) $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f(x) = {x^2}\sin \left( {\frac{1}{x}} \right)$,
but $ - 1 \le \sin \left( {\frac{1}{x}} \right) \le 1$ and $x \to 0$
$\therefore $ $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} f(x) = 0 = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} f(x) = f(0)$
Therefore $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 0$.
Also, the function $f(x) = {x^2}\sin \frac{1}{x}$ is differentiable because
$Rf'(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{{h^2}\sin \frac{1}{h} - 0}}{h} = 0$,
$Lf'(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{{h^2}\sin (1/ - h)}}{{ - h}} = 0$.

Answerd
(d) $L\,f'\,(1) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{f(1 - h) - f(1)}}{{ - h}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{m\,{{(1 - h)}^2} - m}}{{ - h}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{m\,[1 + {h^2} - 2h - 1]}}{{ - h}}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,m\,(2 - h) = 2m$ and $R\,f'\,(1) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{f\,(1 + h) - f(1)}}{h}$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\frac{{2\,(1 + h) - m}}{h}$.
For differentiability, $L\,f'(1) = R\,f'\,(1)$.
But for any value of $m,\,\,R\,\,f'\,(1) = L\,f'(1)$ not possible.

- A
$g'(x)$

(d) We have $f'(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f(x + h) - f(x)}}{h}$$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f(x) + f(h) - f(x)}}{h}$
$\left[ \because f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y) \right]$
$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f(h)}}{h} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{{h^2}g(h)}}{h} = 0.g(0) = 0$
$[ \because g $ is continuous therefore $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} g(h) = g(0)]$.

The function $f(x)\, = \,|x| + |x - 1|$ is
- ✓
Continuous at $x = 1,$ but not differentiable at $x = 1$
- B
Both continuous and differentiable at $x = 1$
- C
Not continuous at $x = 1$
- D
Not differentiable at $x = 1$
AnswerCorrect option: A. Continuous at $x = 1,$ but not differentiable at $x = 1$
a
(a) We have, $f(x) = |x| + |x - 1|$
$ = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 2x + 1,}&{x < 0}&{}\\{x - x + 1,}&{0 \le x < 1}& = \\{x + x - 1,}&{x \ge 1}&{}\end{array}} \right.\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 2x + 1,}&{x < 0}\\1&{0 \le x < 1}\\{2x - 1,}&{x \ge 1}\end{array}} \right.$
Clearly, $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} f(x) = 1,\,\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} f(x) = 1,\,\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {1^ - }} f(x) = 1$
and $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {1^ + }} f(x) = 1$.
So, $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 0,\,\,1.$
Now $f'(x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{ - 2,\,\,\,\,x < 0}\\{\,\,0,\,\,\,\,\,0 \le x < 1}\\{\,\,2,\,\,\,\,\,x \ge 1}\end{array}} \right.$
Here $x = 0$, $f'({0^ + }) = 0$ while $f'({0^ - }) = - 2$
and at $x = 1$, $f'({1^ + }) = 2$ while $f'({1^ - }) = 0$
Thus, $f(x)$ is not differentiable at $x = 0$ and $1.$

${1 \over x}$
- B

(a) $\log |x|\, = \log x$, if $x > 0$$ = \log ( - x)$, if $x < 0$
Hence $\frac{d}{{dx}}\left\{ {\log |x|} \right\} = \frac{1}{x}$, if $x > 0$
$ = \left( {\frac{1}{{ - x}}} \right)( - 1) = \frac{1}{x}$, if $x < 0$
Thus $\frac{d}{{dx}}\left\{ {\log |x|} \right\} = \frac{1}{x}$, if $x \ne 0$.

If $y = a\sin x + b\cos x,$ then ${y^2} + {\left( {{{dy} \over {dx}}} \right)^2}$ is a
- A
Function of $x$
- B
Function of $y$
- C
Function of $ x$ and $y$
- ✓
Answerd
(d) $y = a\sin x + b\cos x$
Differentiating with respect to $ x$, we get
$\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = a\cos x - b\sin x$
Now ${\left( {\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right)^2} = {(a\cos x - b\sin x)^2}$
$ = {a^2}{\cos ^2}x + {b^2}{\sin ^2}x - 2ab\sin x\cos x$
and ${y^2} = {(a\sin x + b\cos x)^2}$
$ = {a^2}{\sin ^2}x + {b^2}{\cos ^2}x + 2ab\sin x\cos x$
So, ${\left( {\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right)^2} + {y^2} = {a^2}({\sin ^2}x + {\cos ^2}x) + {b^2}({\sin ^2}x + {\cos ^2}x)$
Hence ${\left( {\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right)^2} + {y^2} = ({a^2} + {b^2}) =$ constant.

If $y = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {(1 - x)} + {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt x $, then ${{dy} \over {dx}} = $
- A
${1 \over {\sqrt {x(1 - x)} }}$
- ✓
${{ - 1} \over {\sqrt {x(1 - x)} }}$
- C
${1 \over {\sqrt {x(1 + x)} }}$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: B. ${{ - 1} \over {\sqrt {x(1 - x)} }}$
b
(b) ${\sin ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - x} = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - {{(\sqrt x )}^2}} = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt x $
$\therefore y = 2{\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt x $ or
$\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 2.\frac{{ - 1}}{{\sqrt {1 - x} }}.\frac{1}{{2\sqrt x }} \,\,etc.$
Aliter: $y = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - x} + {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt x $
==> $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 - 1 + x} }}.\frac{{ - 1}}{{2\sqrt {1 - x} }} - \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 - x} }}.\frac{1}{{2\sqrt x }}$
$ = \frac{{ - 2}}{{2\sqrt x \sqrt {1 - x} }} = \frac{{ - 1}}{{\sqrt x \sqrt {1 - x} }}$.

If $y = {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ {{{\sqrt {1 + \sin x} + \sqrt {1 - \sin x} } \over {\sqrt {1 + \sin x} - \sqrt {1 - \sin x} }}} \right]$, then ${{dy} \over {dx}} = $
- ✓
${1 \over 2}$
- B
${2 \over 3}$
- C
$3$
- D
$1$
AnswerCorrect option: A. ${1 \over 2}$
a
(a) $y = {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{\sqrt {1 + \sin x} + \sqrt {1 - \sin x} }}{{\sqrt {1 + \sin x} - \sqrt {1 - \sin x} }}} \right]$
$ = {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{2 + 2\cos x}}{{2\sin x}}} \right] = {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\frac{{1 + \cos x}}{{\sin x}}} \right]$
$ = {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left[ {\cot \frac{x}{2}} \right] = \frac{x}{2}$
$\therefore \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{1}{2}$ .
