Answer
We have,$\text{f}(\text{x})=\sin\sqrt{2\text{x}}$

Question 55 Marks
For the function $\text{f}(\text{x})=\frac{\text{x}^{100}}{100}+\frac{\text{x}^{99}}{99}+\dots+\frac{\text{x}^2}{2}+\text{x}+1.$Prove that $\text{f}'(1)=100\text{f}'(0).$
Answer
We have,$\text{f}(\text{x})=\frac{\text{x}^{100}}{100}+\frac{\text{x}^{99}}{99}+\dots+\frac{\text{x}^2}{2}+\text{x}+1.$
Differentiating with respect to $\text{x},$ We get
$\text{f}'(\text{x})=\text{x}^{99}+\text{x}^{98}+\dots+\text{x}+1+0\dots(\text{i})$
From (i)
f'(1) = 1 + 1 + ...(100 times)
= 100
Again,
f'(0) = 0 + 0 + ... + 1
= 1
Now,
f'(1) = 100 = 100 $\times$ 1 = 100 $\times$ f'(0)
Hence'
f'(1) = 100f'(0)

Question 165 Marks
Differentiate in two ways, using product rule and otherwise, the function $(1+2\tan\text{x})(5+4\cos\text{x}).$ verify that the answers are the same.
Answer
Let $\text{u}=1+2\tan\text{x};\text{v}=5+4\cos\text{x}$Then, $\text{u}'=2\sec^2\text{x};\text{v}'=-4\sin\text{x}$
Using the product rule:
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{uv})=\text{uv}'+\text{vu}'$
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}[(1+2\tan\text{x})(5+4\cos\text{x})]\\=(1+2\tan\text{x})(-4\sin\text{x})+(5+4\cos\text{x})(2\sec^2\text{x})$
$=-4\sin\text{x}-8\tan\text{x}\sin\text{x}+10\sec^2\text{x}+8\sec\text{x}$
$=-4\sin\text{x}+10\sec^2\text{x}+\Big(\frac{8}{\cos\text{x}}-\frac{8\sin^2\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}}\Big)$
$=-4\sin\text{x}+10\sec^2\text{x}+8\Big(\frac{1-\sin\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}}\Big)$
$=-4\sin\text{x}+10\sec^2\text{x}+8\Big(\frac{\cos^2\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}}\Big)$
$=-4\sin\text{x}+10\sec^2\text{x}+8\cos\text{x}$
Alternate Answer
$(1+2\tan\text{x})(5+4\cos\text{x})=5+4\cos\text{x}+10\tan\text{x}+8\sin\text{x}$
Now we have,
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}[(1+2\tan\text{x})(5+4\cos\text{x})]\\=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(5+4\cos\text{x}+10\tan\text{x}+8\sin\text{x})$
$=-4\sin\text{x}+10\sec^2\text{x}+8\cos\text{x}$
