What is the maximum value of the function sin x + cos x?
AnswerLet f(x) = sin x + cos x,
$\Rightarrow$ f'(x) = cos x - sin x
Now, f'(x) = 0
$\Rightarrow$ cos x - sin x = 0
$\Rightarrow$ cos x = sin x
$\Rightarrow$ tan x = 1
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{5 \pi}{4}, \ldots$
Now,
If f''(x) will be negative when (sin x + cos x) > 0, means both sin x and cos x are positive.
And, we know that sin x and cos x both are positive in the first quadrant.
Then, f''(x) will be negative when $\mathrm{x} \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$.
f''(x) = -sin x - cos x = -(sin x + cos x)
Now, let us take x = $\frac{\pi}{4}$
$f^{\prime \prime}\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=-\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=-\sqrt{2}<0$
Then, by second derivative test,
f will be maximum at $x=\frac{\pi}{4}$
And, the maximum value of f is
$f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\sin \frac{\pi}{4}+\cos \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}$

At what points in the interval [0, 2$\pi$], does the function sin 2x attain its maximum value?
AnswerGiven that f(x) = sin 2x, $x \in[0,2 \pi]$
$f^\prime$(x) = 2 cos 2x
Now, f'(x) = 0
$\Rightarrow$ cos 2x = 0
$\Rightarrow$ 2x = 0
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3 \pi}{4}, \frac{5 \pi}{4}, \frac{7 \pi}{4}$
Now, we evaluate the value of f at critical point $x=\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3 \pi}{4}, \frac{5 \pi}{4}, \frac{7 \pi}{4}$ and at end points of the interval [0, 2$\pi$]
$f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\sin \frac{\pi}{2}=1$
$f\left(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)=\sin \frac{3 \pi}{2}=-1$
$f\left(\frac{5 \pi}{4}\right)=\sin \frac{5 \pi}{2}=1$
$f\left(\frac{7 \pi}{4}\right)=\sin \frac{7 \pi}{2}=-1$
f(0) = sin 0, and f(2$\pi$) = sin 4$\pi$ = 0
Therefore, the absolute maximum value of f on $[0,2 \pi]$ is 1 occuring at $x=\frac{\pi}{4}$ and $x=\frac{5 \pi}{4}$.

Find both the maximum value and minimum value of $3{x^4} - 8{x^3} + 12{x^2} - 48x + 25$ on the interval [0, 3].
AnswerLet $f(x) = 3{x^4} - 8{x^3} + 12{x^2} - 48x + 25$ on [0, 3]
$\therefore f'\left( x \right) = 12{x^3} - 24{x^2} + 24x - 48$
Now $f'\left( x \right) = 0$
$\Rightarrow 12{x^3} - 24{x^2} + 24x - 48 = 0$
$\Rightarrow {x^3} - 2{x^2} + 2x - 4 = 0$
$\Rightarrow \left( {x - 2} \right)\left( {{x^2} + 2} \right) = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 2$ or $x = \pm \sqrt 2 $
Since $x = \pm \sqrt 2 $ is irrational, therefore it is rejected.
$\therefore x = 2$ is turning point.
$\therefore$ At $x = 2,f\left( 2 \right) = 3\left( {16} \right) - 8\left( 8 \right) + 12\left( 4 \right) - 48\left( 2 \right) + 25 = - 39$
At x = 0 f(0) = 25
At x = 3, $f\left( 3 \right) = 3\left( {81} \right) - 8\left( {27} \right) + 12\left( 9 \right) - 48\left( 3 \right) + 25 = 16$
Therefore, absolute minimum value is - 39 and absolute maximum value is 25.

Find the maximum profit that a company can make, if the profit function is given by
$p(x) = 41 – 72x – 18x^2$
AnswerThe profit function is, $p(x) = 41 - 72x - 18x^2$
$\Rightarrow p'(x) = -72 - 36x$ and $p''(x) = -36$
Now, $p'(x) = 0$
$\Rightarrow 72 = -36x$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-72}{36}$
$\Rightarrow x = -2$
$p''(-2) = -36 < 0$
Then, by second derivative test, $x = -2$ is point of local maxima of $p.$
So, the local maximum value is
$p(-2) = 41 - 72(-2) - 18(-2)^2$
$= 44 + 144 - 72$
$= 113$
Therefore, the maximum profit that the company can make is $113$ units.

Find the absolute maximum value and the absolute minimum value of the function:
$f(x)=(x-1)^{2}+3, x \in[-3,1]$
AnswerGiven that $f(x)=(x-1)^{2}+3, x \in[-3,1]$
$\Rightarrow$ f'(x) = 2(x - 1)
Now, f'(x) = 0
$\Rightarrow$ 2(x - 1) = 0
$\Rightarrow$ x = 1
Now, we evaluate the value of 'f ' at critical point x = 1, and at end points of the interval [-3, 1].
$f(1) = (1 - 1)^2 + 3 = 0 + 3 = 3$
$f(-3) = (-3 - 1)^2 + 3 = 16 + 3 = 19$
Therefore, the absolute maximum value of f on [-3, 1] is 19 occuring at x = -3.
And the absolute minimum value of f on [-3, 1] is 3 occurring at x = 1.

$f(x)=4 x-\frac{1}{2} x^{2}, x \in\left[-2, \frac{9}{2}\right]$
AnswerGiven that $f(x)=4 x-\frac{1}{2} x^{2}, x \in\left[-2, \frac{9}{2}\right]$
$\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=4-\frac{1}{2}(2 x)=4-x$
Now, f'(x) = 0
$\Rightarrow$ x = 4
Now, we evaluate the value of f at critical point x = 0 and at end points of the interval $\left[-2, \frac{9}{2}\right]$
$f(4)=16-\frac{1}{2}(16)=16-8=8$
$f(-2)=-8-\frac{1}{2}(4)=-8-2=-10$
$\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)=4\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)-\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)^{2}=18-\frac{81}{8}=18-10.125=7.875$
Therefore, the absolute maximum value of f on $\left[-2, \frac{9}{2}\right]$ is 8 occurring at x = 4
And, the absolute minimum value of f on $\left[-2, \frac{9}{2}\right]$ is -10 occurring at x = -2

f(x) = sin x + cos x , x $\in$ [0, $\pi$]
AnswerIt is given that f(x) = sin x + cos x, $x \in[0, \pi]$
f'(x) = cos x - sin x
Now, f'(x) = 0
$\Rightarrow$ cos x - sin x = 0
$\Rightarrow$ cos x = sin x
$\Rightarrow$ tan x = 1
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{\pi}{4}$
Now, we evaluate the value of 'f ' at critical point $x=\frac{\pi}{4}$ and at end points of the interval [0, $\pi$]
$f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\sin \frac{\pi}{4}+ \cos \frac{\pi}{4}=\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}$
f(0) = sin 0 + cos 0 = 0 + 1 = 1
$f(\pi)=\sin \pi+\cos \pi=0-1=-1$
Therefore, the absolute maximum value of f on $[0, \pi]$ is $\sqrt{2}$ occuring at $x=\frac{\pi}{4}$
And, the absolute minimum value of f on $[0, \pi]$ is -1 occurring at x = $\pi$

$f(x) = x^3, x \in [-2, 2]$
AnswerIt is given that $f(x) = x^3, x \in [-2, 2]$
$\Rightarrow f'(x) = 3x^2$
Now, $f'(x) = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 0$
Further, we evaluate the value of f at critical point $x = 0$ and at end points of the interval $[-2, 2].$
$f(0) = 0$
$f(-2) = (-2)^3 = -8$
$f(2) = (2)^3 = 8$
Therefore, the absolute maximum value of f on $[-2, 2]$ is $8$ occurring at $x = 2$
And, the absolute minimum value of f on $[-2, 2]$ is $-8$ occurring at $x = -2$

Prove that the function does not have maxima or minima: $h(x) = x^3 + x^2 + x +1$
Answer$h(x) = x^3 + x^2 + x + 1$
$\Rightarrow h'(x) = 3x^2 + 2x + 1$
$h(x) = 0$
$\Rightarrow 3x^2 + 2x + 1 = 0$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=\frac{-2 \pm 2 \sqrt{2} \mathrm{i}}{6}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{2} i}{3}, \notin R$
Therefore, there does not exist c $\in$ R such that h'(c) = 0, i.e, there are no real critical points.
Hence, function h does not have maxima or minima.

AnswerIt is given that g(x) = -|x + 1| + 3
Now, we can see that -|x + 1| $\le$ 0 for every x $\in$ R
$\Rightarrow g(x)=-|x+1|+3 \leq 3$ for every x $\in$ R
The maximum value of f is attained when |x + 1| = 0
|x + 1| = 0
$\Rightarrow x=-1$
Then, Maximum value of g = g(-1) = -|-1 + 1| + 3 = 3

Find the maximum and minimum value, $f(x) = -(x - 1)^2 + 10$
AnswerIt is given that $f(x) = -(x - 1)^2 + 10$
Now, we can see that $(x - 1)^2 \ge 0$ for every $x \in R$
$\Rightarrow f(x) = -(x - 1)^2 + 10 \le 10$ for every $x \in R$
The maximum value of f is attained when $x - 1 = 0$
i.e, $x - 1 = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 1$

Find the maximum and minimum values of x + sin 2x on [0, 2$\pi$].
AnswerIt is given that f(x) = x + sin x, $x \in[0,2 \pi]$
f'(x) = 1 + 2cos 2x
Now, f'(x) = 0
$\Rightarrow \cos 2 \mathrm{x}=-\frac{1}{2}=-\cos \frac{\pi}{3}=\cos \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\cos \frac{2 \pi}{3}$
$2 x=2 \pi \pm \frac{2 \pi}{3}, n \in Z$
$\Rightarrow x=n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{3}, n \in Z$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=\frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{2 \pi}{3}, \frac{4 \pi}{3}, \frac{5 \pi}{3} \in[0,2 \pi)$
Now, we evaluate the value of f at critical point $\mathrm{x}=\frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{2 \pi}{3}, \frac{4 \pi}{3}, \frac{5 \pi}{3}$ and at end points of the interval $[0,2 \pi]$
$f^{\prime}\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\frac{\pi}{3}+\sin \frac{2 \pi}{3}=\frac{\pi}{3}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$f^{\prime}\left(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)=\frac{2 \pi}{3}+\sin \frac{4 \pi}{3}=\frac{2 \pi}{3}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$,
$f^{\prime}\left(\frac{4 \pi}{3}\right)=\frac{4 \pi}{3}+\sin \frac{8 \pi}{3}=\frac{4 \pi}{3}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$f^{\prime}\left(\frac{5 \pi}{4}\right)=\frac{5 \pi}{3}+\sin \frac{10 \pi}{3}=\frac{5 \pi}{3}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
f'(0) = 0 + sin 0 = 0
$f^{\prime}(2 \pi)=2 \pi+\sin 4 \pi=2 \pi+0=2 \pi$
Therefore, we have the absolute maximum value of f on $[0,2 \pi]$ is $2 \pi$ occurring at x = $2\pi$ and absolute minimum value of f(x) in the interval $[0,2 \pi]$ is 0 occurring at x = 0.

AnswerIt is given that $f(x) = 9x^2 + 12x + 2 = (3x + 2)^2 - 2$
Now, we can see that $(3x + 2)^2 \ge 0$ for every $x \in R$
$\Rightarrow f(x) = (3x + 2)^2 - 2 \ge -2$ for every $x \in R$
The minimum value of f is attained when $3x + 2 = 0$
$3x + 2 = 0$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=-\frac{2}{3}$
Then, Minimum value of $f=f\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)=\left(3\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)+2\right)^{2}-2=-2$
Also, since $x = -\frac23$, is the only critical point which is a minimum,

Find the maximum and minimum value, $f(x) = (2x - 1)^2 + 3$
AnswerIt is given that $f(x)=(2 x-1)^2+3$
Now, we can see that $(2 x-1)^2 \geq 0$ for every $x \in R$
$\Rightarrow f(x)=(2 x-1)^2+3 \geq 3 \text { for every } x \in R$
The minimum value of $f$ is attained when $2 x-1=0$
$ 2 x-1=0 $
$ \Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2}$
Then, Minimum value of $f=f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\left(2 \cdot \frac{1}{2}-1\right)^2+3=3$
Now, $\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})=4 \mathrm{x}-2=0, \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=\frac{1}{2}$ is the only critical point which is a minimum.
Therefore, function $f$ does not have a maximum value.

Find the maximum value of $2{x^3} - 24x + 107$ in the interval [1, 3]. Find the maximum value of the same function in $\left[ { - 3, - 1} \right]$
AnswerLet $f\left( x \right) = 2{x^3} - 24x + 107$ $\Rightarrow f'\left( x \right) = 6{x^2} - 24$
Now $f'\left( x \right) = 0$
$ \Rightarrow 6{x^2} - 24 = 0$
$\Rightarrow {x^2} = 4$
$\Rightarrow x = \pm 2$
$\Rightarrow x = 2$ or $x = - 2$ [Turning points]
For Interval [1, 3], x = 2 is turning point.
At x = 1, $f\left( 1 \right) = 2\left( 1 \right) - 24\left( 1 \right) + 107 = 85$
At x = 2, $f\left( 2 \right) = 2\left( 8 \right) - 24\left( 2 \right) + 107 = 75$
At x = 3, $f\left( 3 \right) = 2\left( {27} \right) - 24\left( 3 \right) + 107 = 89$
Therefore, maximum value of $f\left( x \right)$ is 89.
For Interval $\left[ { - 3, - 1} \right],x = - 2$ is turning point.
At $x = - 1,$ $f\left( 1 \right) = 2\left( { - 1} \right) - 24\left( { - 1} \right) + 107 = 129$
At $x = - 2,$ $f\left( 2 \right) = 2\left( { - 8} \right) - 24\left( { - 2} \right) + 107 = 139$
At $x = - 3,$ $f\left( 3 \right) = 2\left( { - 27} \right) - 24\left( { - 3} \right) + 107 = 125$
Therefore, maximum value of f(x) is 139.

Prove that the function f given by f(x) = log sinx is increasing on $\left( {0,\frac{\pi }{2}} \right)$ and decreasing on $\left( {\frac{\pi }{2},\pi } \right)$.
AnswerGiven: f(x) = log sin x
$\Rightarrow f'\left( x \right) = \frac{1}{{\sin x}}\frac{d}{{dx}}(\sin x) = \frac{1}{{\sin x}}\cos x = \cot x$

AnswerIt is given that function $f(x) = x^2 - x + 1$
$f'(x) = 2x - 1$
If $f'(x) = 0$, then we get
$~~~ ~~~x=\frac{1}{2}$

The radius of a circle is increasing at the rate of 0.7 cm/s. What is the rate of increase of its circumference?
AnswerLet x cm be the radius and y be the circumference of the circle at any time t.
Rate of increase of radius of circle = 0.7 cm/sec
$\Rightarrow \frac{{dx}}{{dt}}$ is positive and = 0.7 cm/sec
$ \Rightarrow \frac{{dx}}{{dt}}$ = 0.7 cm / sec ...(i)
$ \Rightarrow y = 2\pi x$
$\therefore$ Rate of change of circumference of circle $ = \frac{{dy}}{{dt}}$
$ = 2\pi \frac{d}{{dt}}x = 2\pi \left( {0.7} \right)$ (from (i))
= 1.4$\pi$cm/sec

A stone is dropped into a quiet lake and waves move in circles at the speed of 5 cm/s. At the instant when the radius of the circular wave is 8 cm, how fast is the enclosed area increasing?
AnswerLet x cm be the radius and y be the enclosed area of the circular wave at any time t.
Rate of increase of radius of circular wave = 5 cm/sec
$\Rightarrow \frac{{dx}}{{dt}}$ is positive and = 5 cm/sec
$\Rightarrow \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = 5cm/\sec$ ...(i)
$y = \pi {x^2}$
$\therefore $ Rate of change of area $ = \frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = \pi \frac{d}{{dt}}{x^2}$ $ = \pi .2x\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = 2\pi x\left( 5 \right)$(from (i)
$= 10\pi xc{m^2}/\sec$
Putting $x = 8cm$(given),
$\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = 10\pi \left( 8 \right) = 80\pi c{m^2}/\sec$
Since $\frac{{dy}}{{dt}}$ is positive, therefore area of circular wave is increasing at the rate of $80\pi c{m^2}/\sec $.

An edge of a variable cube is increasing at the rate of $3 cm$ per second. How fast is the volume of the cube increasing when the edge is $10 cm$ long?
AnswerLet x cm be the edge and y be the volume of the variable cube at any time t.Rate of increase of edge = 3 cm/sec
$ \Rightarrow \frac{{dx}}{{dt}}$ is positive and = 3 cm/sec
$ \Rightarrow \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = 3cm/\sec $...(i)
$\Rightarrow y = {x^3}$
$\therefore$ Rate of change of volume of cube $= \frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = \frac{d}{{dt}}{x^3}$
$= 3{x^2}\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = 3{x^2}\left( 3 \right)$ [from (1)]
$= 9{x^2}c{m^3}/\sec$
Putting x = 10cm (given),
$\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = 9{\left( {10} \right)^2} = 900c{m^3}/\sec $
Since $\frac{{dy}}{{dt}}$ is positive, therefore volume of cube is increasing at the rate of $900 cm^3/\sec$.

The radius of a circle is increasing uniformly at the rate of 3 cm/s. Find the rate at which the area of the circle is increasing when the radius is 10 cm.
AnswerSuppose r cm be the radius and A be the area of the circle at any time t.
Rate of increase of radius of circle = 3 cm/sec
$\Rightarrow \frac{{dr}}{{dt}}$ is positive and = 3 cm/sec
$\frac{{dr}}{{dt}} = 3$….(i)
Now, $A = \pi {r^2}$
$\therefore $ Rate of change of area of circle $= \frac{{dA}}{{dt}} = \pi 2r\frac{{dr}}{{dt}}$
$ \Rightarrow \pi 2r\left( 3 \right) = 6\pi rc{m^2}/\sec $ (from (i))
Substituting r = 10 cm (given),we get
$\frac{{dA}}{{dt}} = 6\pi \left( {10} \right) = 60\pi c{m^2}/\sec $
Since $\frac{{dA}}{{dt}}$ is positive, thus surface area is increasing at the rate of $60\pi c{m^2}/\sec $

The volume of a cube is increasing at the rate of $8 cm^3/\sec$. How fast is the surface area increasing when the length of an edge is $12 cm$?
AnswerLet x cm be the edge of the cube and y be the surface area of the cube at any time tGiven: Rate of increase of volume of cube $ = 8c{m^3}/\sec $
$ \frac{d}{{dt}}\left( {{x^3}} \right)$ = 8
$ \Rightarrow 3{x^2}\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = 8$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = \frac{8}{{3{x^2}}}$ ...(i)
$y = 6{x^2}$
$\therefore$ Rate of change of surface area of the cube $= \frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = 6\frac{d}{{dt}}{x^2}$
$= 6\left( {2x\frac{{dx}}{{dt}}} \right)$
$ = 12x\left( {\frac{8}{{3{x^2}}}} \right)$ [from (1)]
$= 4\left( {\frac{8}{x}} \right) = \frac{{32}}{x}c{m^2}/\sec$
Putting x = 12 cm (given),
$\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = \frac{{32}}{{12}} = \frac{8}{3}c{m^2}\sec $
Since $\frac{{dy}}{{dt}}$ is positive, therefore surface area is increasing at the rate of $\frac{8}{3}c{m^2}/\sec $

A particle moves along the curve $6y = x^3 + 2$. Find the points on the curve at which the y-coordinate is changing $8$ times as fast as the x – coordinate.
AnswerGiven curve is $6y = x^3 + 2$ ...(i)
so, $6\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = 3{x^2}\frac{{dx}}{{dt}}$
$\Rightarrow6 \times 8\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = 3{x^2}\frac{{dx}}{{dt}}\,\,\left[ {\because \frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = 8\frac{{dx}}{{dt}}} \right]$
$\Rightarrow16 = {x^2}$
$\Rightarrow x = \pm 4$
Put the value of x in equation (1)
When x = 4
$6y = ( 4 )^3 + 2$
$\Rightarrow$ 6y = 64 + 2
$\Rightarrow$ 6y = 66
$\therefore$ $y = \frac{{66}}{6} = 11$
So, point is (4, 11)
Now, When $x = - 4$
$6y = (-4)^3 + 2$
$= - 64 + 2$
$\therefore y = \frac{{ - 62}}{6}= \frac{-31}{3}$
So the point is $\left( { - 4,\frac{{ - 31}}{3}} \right)$

A ladder 5 m long is leaning against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is pulled along the ground, away from the wall, at the rate of 2cm/s. How fast is its height on the wall decreasing when the foot of the ladder is 4 m away from the wall?
Answer$\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = 2cm/s$
$\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = 0.02m/\sec $
${x^2} + {y^2} = {5^2}$
$2x\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} + 2y\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = 0$
When x = 4
$y = \sqrt {{5^2} - {4^2}} $ = 3
$2 \times 4\left( {0.02} \right) + 2 \times 3\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = 0$
$\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = \frac{{2 \times 4 \times 0.02}}{{2 \times 3}}$
$= - \frac{{0.08}}{3} \times {100}$
$ = - \frac{8}{3}cm/\sec $
