Question 11 Mark

If $\text{y}=\frac{1+\frac{1}{\text{x}^{2}}}{1-\frac{1}{\text{x}^{2}}}$ then $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$ is equal to:

  1. $\frac{-4\text{x}}{(\text{x}^{2}-1)^{2}}$ 

  2. $\frac{-4\text{x}}{(\text{x}^{2}-1)^{2}}$ 

  3. $\frac{1-\text{x}^{2}}{4\text{x}}$ 

  4. $\frac{4\text{x}}{\text{x}^{2}-1}$

Answer
  1. $\frac{-4\text{x}}{(\text{x}^{2}-1)^{2}}$

Solution:

Given, $\text{y}=\frac{1+\frac{1}{\text{x}^{2}}}{1-\frac{1}{\text{x}^{2}}}$ 

$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{\text{x}^{2}+1}{\text{x}^{2}-1}$

$\therefore \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{(\text{x}^{2}-1).2\text{x}-(\text{x}^{2}+1).2\text{x}}{(\text{x}^{2}-1)^{2}}$

$=\frac{2\text{x}(\text{x}^{2}-1-\text{x}^{2}-1)}{(\text{x}^{2}-1)^{2}}=\frac{2\text{x}(-2)}{(\text{x}^{2}-1)^{2}}$

$=\frac{-4\text{x}}{(\text{x}^{2}-1)^2{}}$

Question 21 Mark

If $\text{y}=\frac{\sin(\text{x}+9)}{\cos\text{x}}$ then $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$ at x = 0 is equal to:

  1. $\cos9$ 

  2. $\sin9$ 

  3. $0$

  4. $1$

Answer
  1. $\cos9$

Solution:

Given $\text{y}=\frac{\sin(\text{x}+9)}{\cos\text{x}}$ 

$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\cos\text{x}.\cos(\text{x}+9)-\sin(\text{x}+9)(-\sin\text{x})}{\cos^{2}\text{x}}$

$=\frac{\cos\text{x}\cos(\text{x}+9)+\sin\text{x}\sin(\text{x}+9)}{\cos^{2}\text{x}}$

$=\frac{\cos(\text{x}+9-\text{x})}{\cos^{2}\text{x}}=\frac{\cos9}{\cos^{2}\text{x}}$

$=\frac{\cos9}{(1)^{2}}=\cos9$

  1. $1$ 

  2. $\frac{1}{2}$ 

  3. $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ 

  4. $0$ 

Answer

  1. $\frac{1}{100}$ 

  2. $100$ 

  3. does not exist

  4. $0$ 

Answer
  1. 100

Solution:

Given $\text{f}(\text{x})=1+\text{x}+\frac{\text{x}^{2}}{2}+.....+\frac{\text{x}^{100}}{100}$ 

$\text{f}(\text{x})=1+\frac{2\text{x}}{2}+......+\frac{100\text{x}}{100}$

Question 51 Mark

If $\text{f}(\text{x})=\frac{\text{x}-4}{2\sqrt{\text{x}}}$ then f'(1) is equal to:

  1. $\frac{5}{4}$ 

  2. $\frac{4}{5}$ 

  3. $1$ 

  4. $0$

Answer
  1. $\frac{5}{4}$

Solution:

Given that $\text{f}(\text{x})=\frac{\text{x}-4}{2\sqrt{\text{x}}}$ 

$\therefore\text{f}(\text{x})=\frac{1}{2}\bigg[\frac{\sqrt{\text{x}.}1-(\text{x}-4).\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\text{x}}}}{\text{x}}\bigg]$

$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{2\text{x}-\text{x}+4}{2\sqrt{\text{x}.\text{x}}}\Big]$

$=\frac{1}{2}\Bigg[\frac{\text{x}+4}{2(\text{x})^{\frac{3}{2}}}\Bigg]$

$\therefore\text{f}(\text{x})\ \text{x}=1=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{1+4}{2\times1}\Big]=\frac{5}{4}$

Question 61 Mark

If $\text{f}(\text{x})=\frac{\text{x}^{\text{n}}-\text{a}^{\text{n}}}{\text{x}-\text{a}}$ for some constant, a, then f'(a) is equal to:

  1. $1$ 
  2. $0$ 
  3. Does not exist
  4. $\frac{1}{2}$ 
Answer
  1. Does not exist

Solution:

Given $\text{f}(\text{x})=\frac{\text{x}^{\text{n}}-\text{a}^{\text{n}}}{\text{x}-\text{a}}$

$\text{f'}(\text{x})=\frac{(\text{x}-\text{a})(\text{n.}\text{x}^{\text{n-1}}-(\text{x}^{\text{n}-\text{a}^{\text{n}}})1}{(\text{x}-\text{a})^{2}}$

So, $\text{f}(\text{a})=\frac{0}{0}$ = Does not exist.

  1. None of these.

Solution:

Given $\begin{cases}\frac{\sin[\text{x}]}{[\text{x}]} & \text{x}\neq0\\0, & [\text{x}]=0\end{cases}$ 

$\text{L}.\text{H}.\text{H}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin[\text{x}]}{[\text{x}]}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin[0-\text{h}]}{[0-\text{h}]} $

$=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{-\sin[\text{-h}]}{[-\text{h}]}=-1$

$\text{R}.\text{H}.\text{L}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin[\text{x}]}{[\text{x}]}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin[0+\text{h}]}{[0+\text{h}]}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin[\text{h}]}{[\text{h}]}=1$

$\text{L}.\text{H}.\text{L}\neq\text{R}.\text{H}.\text{L}$

Solution:

Given $\text{f}(\text{x})=\begin{cases}\text{x}^{2}-1 & 0<\text{x}<2\\2\text{x}+3, & 2\geq\text{3}<3\end{cases}$ 

$\therefore\ \lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2}\text{f}(\text{x})=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2^{-}}(\text{x}^{2}-1)$

$ \lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}[(2-\text{x})^{2}-1]=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}(4+\text{h}^{2}-4\text{h}-1)$

$ =\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}(\text{h}^{2}-4\text{h}+3)=3$

$\therefore\ \lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2}\text{f}(\text{x})=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2^{+}}(2\text{x}+3)$

$ =\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}[2(2+\text{h})+3]=7$

Therefore, the quadratic equation whose roots are 3 and 7 is $\text{x}^{2}-10\text{x}+21=0$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{\text{x}^{2}}{4}\times4\cos\text{x}}{2\sin^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)\cdot2\cos\text{x}}{\sin^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\bigg(\frac{\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\bigg)\cdot2\cos\text{x}$

  1. $-2$ 

  2. $0$ 

  3. $\frac{1}{2}$

  4. Does not exist.

Answer
  1. $-2$

Solution:

Given $\text{y}=\frac{\sin\text{x}+\cos\text{x}}{\sin\text{x}-\cos\text{x}}$ 

$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{-(\sin\text{x}+\cos\text{x})(\cos\text{x}+\sin\text{x})}{(\sin\text{x}-\cos\text{x})^{2}}$

$=\frac{-(\sin\text{x}+\cos\text{x})^{2}(\sin\text{x}+\cos\text{x})}{(\sin\text{x}-\cos\text{x})^{2}}$

$=\frac{\sin^{2}\text{x}+\cos^{2}\text{x}+2\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}}{(\sin\text{x}-\cos\text{x})^{2}}$

$=\frac{-2}{(\sin\text{x}-\cos\text{x})^{2}}$

Question 201 Mark

If $\text{f}(\text{x})=\text{x}-[\text{x}],\in\text{R}$ then $\text{f}'\big(\frac{1}{2}\big)$ is equal to:

  1. $\frac{3}{2}$ 

  2. $1$ 

  3. $0$ 

  4. $-1$

Answer
  1. 1

Solution:

Given f(x) = x - [x]

we have ti first check for differentiability of f(x) at $\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\therefore \text{Lf}'\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)=\text{LHD}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{f}\big[\frac{1}{2}-\text{h}\big]-\text{f}\big[\frac{1}{2}\big]}{-\text{h}}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\big(\frac{1}{2}-\text{h}\big)-\big[\frac{1}{2}-\text{h}\big]-\frac{1}{2}+\big[\frac{1}{2}\big]}{-\text{h}}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{1}{2}-\text{h}-0-\frac{1}{2}+0}{-\text{h}}=\frac{-\text{h}}{-\text{h}}=1$

$\therefore \text{Rf}'\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)=\text{RHD}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{f}\big[\frac{1}{2}-\text{h}\big]-\text{f}\big[\frac{1}{2}\big]}{\text{h}}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\big(\frac{1}{2}+\text{h}\big)-\big[\frac{1}{2}+\text{h}\big]-\frac{1}{2}+\big[\frac{1}{2}\big]}{-\text{h}}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{1}{2}+\text{h}-1-\frac{1}{2}+1}{\text{h}}=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{h}}=1$

Since, LHD = RHD

$\text{f}'\big(\frac{1}{2}\big)=1$

Solution:

Given $\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{\big(\sqrt{\text{x}}-1\big)\big(2\text{x}-3\big)}{2\text{x}^{2}+\text{x}-3}$ 

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow1}\frac{\big(\sqrt{\text{x}}-1\big)\big(2\text{x}-3\big)}{\text{x}\big(2\text{x}+3\big)-1\big(2\text{x}+3\big)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 1}\frac{\big(\sqrt{\text{x}}-1\big)(\big(2\text{x}-3\big)}{\big(\text{x}-1\big)\big(2\text{x}+3\big)}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 1}\frac{2\text{x}-3}{\big(\sqrt{\text{x}}+1\big)\big(2\text{x}+3\big)}$

Taking limit, we get

$=\frac{2(1)-3}{\big(\sqrt{\text{x}}+1\big)\big(2\times1+3\big)}=\frac{-1}{2\times5}=\frac{-1}{10}$
