Find all points of discontinuity of f, where f is defined by:
$\text {f(x)}=\begin{cases}\frac{\left|\text x\right|}{\text x},\ \ \text {if x}\neq0\\0,\ \ \ \ \text{if x} = 0\end{cases}$
AnswerHere $\text {f(x)}=\begin{cases}\frac{\left|\text x\right|}{\text x},\ \ \text {if x}\neq0\\0,\ \ \ \ \text{if x} = 0\end{cases}$Function f is defined for all points of the real line.
Let c be any real number.
Three cases arise:
Case I: c < 0
$^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\frac{|\text{x}|}{\text{x}} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\big(\frac{\text{-x}}{\text{x}}\big) =^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}(-1) = -1 $
Also $\text{f(c)} = \frac{|c|} {3} = \frac{-\text{c}}{\text{c}} = -1$
$\therefore\ ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)} = \text{f(c)}$
$\therefore$ f is continuous at all point x < 0
Case II: c > 0
$^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\frac{|\text{x}|}{\text{x}} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}}\big) =^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}(1) = 1 $
Also $\text{f(c)} = \frac{|c|} {\text c} = \frac{\text{c}}{\text{c}} = 1$
$\therefore\ ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)} = \text{f(c)}$
$\therefore$ f is continuous at all points x > 0
Case III: c = 0
$^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}^{-}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{-}}\frac{|\text{x}|}{\text{x}} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{-}}\big(\frac{\text{-x}}{\text{x}}\big) =^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{-}}(-1) = -1 $
$^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}^{+}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{+}}\frac{|\text{x}|}{\text{x}} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{+}}\big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}}\big) =^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{+}}(1) = 1 $
$\therefore\ ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}^{-}}\text{f(x)} \neq ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}^{+}}\text{f(x)}$
$\therefore$ f is discontinuous at x = 0.

Is the function defined by $\text{f(x)}= \begin{cases}\text{x} + 5,\ \ \text{if x}\leq 1 \\\text{x} - 5,\ \ \text{if x}>1\end{cases}$
a continuous function?
AnswerHere $\text{f(x)}= \begin{cases}\text{x} + 5,\ \ \text{if x}\leq 1 \\\text{x} - 5,\ \ \text{if x}>1\end{cases}$ Function f is defined at all points of the real line. Let c be any real number. Three cases arise: Case I: c < 1 $^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{(x} + 5) = \text{c} + 5$f(c) = c + 5
$\therefore\ ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)} = \text{f(c)}$ $\therefore$ f is continuous at all points x < 1. Case II: c > 1 $^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x} - 5) = \text{c} - 5$f(c) = c - 5
$\therefore\ ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)} = \text{f(c)}$ $\therefore$ f is continuous at all points x > 1. Case III: c = 1 $^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{-}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{-}}\text{(x} + 5) = 1 + 5 = 6$ $^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{+}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{+}}\text{(x} - 5) = 1 - 5 = -4$ $\therefore\ ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{-}}\text{f(x)} \neq ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{+}}\text{f(x)}$ $\therefore$ f is discontinuous at x = 1.

Find the relationship between 'a' and 'b' so that the function 'f' defind by $\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}\text{ax}+1,&\text{if }\text{ x}\leq3\\\text{bx}+3,&\text{if }\text{ x}>3\end{cases}$ is continuous at x = 3.
AnswerGiven,
$\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}\text{ax}+1,&\text{if }\text{ x}\leq3\\\text{bx}+3,&\text{if }\text{ x}>3\end{cases}$
We have,
$(\text{LHL at x}= 3)=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow3^-}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{f}(3-\text{h})$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{a}(3-\text{h})+1=3\text{a}+1$
$(\text{RHL at x}= 3)=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow3^+}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{f}(3+\text{h})$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{b}(3+\text{h})+3=3\text{b}+3$
If f(x) is continuous at x = 3, then
$\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow3^-}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow3^+}\text{f(x)}$
$\Rightarrow3\text{a}+1=3\text{b}+3$
$\Rightarrow3\text{a}-3\text{b}=2$
Hence, the required relationship between a & b is 3a - 2b = 2

If $\text{y}=\text{e}^{2\text{x}}(\text{ax}+\text{b}),$ show that $\text{y}_2-\text{4}\text{y}_1+4\text{y}=0$
Answer$\text{y}=\text{e}^{2\text{x}}(\text{ax}+\text{b}),$ Differentiating w.r.t.x, $\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{e}^{2\text{x}}(\text{a})+2(\text{ax}+b)(\text{e}^{2\text{x}})$ $\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{ae}^{2\text{x}}+2\text{y} $ Differentiating w.r.t.x,$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=2\text{ae}^{2\text{x}}+2\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=2\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}+2\text{ae}^{2\text{x}}+4\text{y}-4\text{y}=2\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}+2\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}-4\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}-4\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}+4\text{y}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}_2-4\text{y}_1+4\text{y}=0$
Hence proved

Differentiate the following functions from first principles: $e^{ax+b}$.
AnswerLet $f(x) = e^{ax+b}\Rightarrow f(x + h) = e^{a(x+h)+b}$
$\therefore\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{f(x)})=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{f}(\text{x}+\text{h})-\text{f}(\text{x})}{\text{h}}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{e}^{\text{a}(\text{x}+\text{h})+\text{b}}-\text{e}^{(\text{ax}+\text{b})}}{\text{h}}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{e}^{\text{ax}+\text{b}}\text{e}^{\text{ah}}-\text{e}^{\text{ax}+\text{b}}}{\text{h}}$ $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{ e}^{\text{ax}+\text{b}}\left\{\frac{(\text{e}^{\text{ah}}-1)}{\text{ah}}\right\}\times\text{a}$ $=\text{ae}^{\text{ax}+\text{b}} \lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\left\{\frac{(\text{e}^{\text{ah}}-1)}{\text{ah}}\right\}$ $=\text{ae}^{\text{ax}+\text{b}}$ So, $\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{e}^{\text{ax}}+\text{b})=\text{ae}^{\text{ax}+\text{b}}$

If $\tan(\text{x}+\text{y})+\tan(\text{x}+\text{y})=1,$ find $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$
AnswerWe have, $\tan(\text{x}+\text{y})+\tan(\text{x}-\text{y})=1$
Differentiating with respect to x, we get,
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\tan(\text{x}+\text{y})+\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\tan(\text{x}+\text{y})=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(1)$
$\Rightarrow\ \sec^2(\text{x}+\text{y})\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{x}+\text{y})+\sec^2(\text{x}-\text{y})\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{x}-\text{y})=0$
$\Rightarrow\ \sec^2(\text{x}+\text{y})\Big[1+\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big]+\sec^2(\text{x}-\text{y})\Big[1-\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big]=0$
$\Rightarrow\ \sec^2(\text{x}+\text{y})\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}-\sec^2(\text{x}-\text{y})\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} \\ =-\big[\sec^2(\text{x}-\text{y})+\sec^2(\text{x}-\text{y})\big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\big[\sec^2(\text{x}+\text{y})-\sec^2(\text{x}-\text{y})\big] \\ =-\big[\sec^2(\text{x}+\text{y})+\sec^2(\text{x}-\text{y})\big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\sec^2(\text{x}+\text{y})+\sec^2(\text{x}-\text{y})}{\sec^2(\text{x}-\text{y})-\sec^2(\text{x}+\text{y})}$

If $\text{x}\sin(\text{a}+\text{y})+\sin\text{a}\cos(\text{a}+\text{y})=0,$ prove that $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\sin^2(\text{a}+\text{y})}{\sin\text{a}}.$
AnswerConsider, $\text{x}\sin(\text{a}+\text{y})+\sin\text{a}\cos(\text{a}+\text{y})=0$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}\sin(\text{a}+\text{y})=-\sin\text{a}\cdot\cos(\text{a}+\text{y})$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=\frac{-\sin\text{a}\cdot\cos(\text{a}+\text{y})}{\sin(\text{a}+\text{y})}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=-\sin\text{a}\cdot\cot(\text{a}+\text{y})$
$\therefore\ \frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dy}}=-\sin\text{a}\cdot\big[-\text{cosec}^2(\text{a}+\text{y})\big]\cdot\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dy}}(\text{a}+\text{y})$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dy}}=\sin\text{a}\cdot\frac{1}{\sin^2(\text{a}+\text{y})}\cdot1$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\sin^2(\text{a}+\text{y})}{\sin\text{a}}$
Hence proved.

Discuss the continuity of the function f, where f is defined by
$\text{f(x)}= \begin{cases}\ 3,\ \ \text{if}\ 0\leq \text{x}\leq 1 \\4,\ \ \text{if}\ 1<\text{x}<3\\5,\ \text{if}\ 3\leq\text{x}\leq10\end{cases}$
AnswerThe given function is $\text{f(x)}= \begin{cases}\ 3,\ \ \text{if}\ 0\leq \text{x}\leq 1 \\4,\ \ \text{if}\ 1<\text{x}<3\\5,\ \text{if}\ 3\leq\text{x}\leq10\end{cases}$ The function f is definedc at all points of the interval [0, 10]. Let k be the point in the interval [0, 10]. Then, we have 5 cases i. e. $0\leq\text{k}<1, \text{k}= 1, 1<\text{k}$ $<3, \text{k} = 3\ \text{or}\ 3 < \text{k}\leq 10.$ Now, Case I: $0\leq\text{k}<1$ Then, f(k) = 3 $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}(3) = 3 = \text{f(k)}$ Thus, $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{f(x)} = \text{f(k)}$ Hence, f is continuous in the interval [0, 10]. Case II: k = 1 f(1) = 3 $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{-}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{-}}(3) = 3$ $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{+}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{+}}(4) = 4$ $\Rightarrow\ ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}^{-}}\text{f(x)} \neq ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}^{+}}\text{f(x)}$ Hence, f is not continuous at x = 1. Case III: 1 < k < 3 Then, f(x) = 4 $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}(4) = 4 = \text{f(k)}$ Thus, $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{f(x)} = \text{f(k)}$ Hence, f is continuous in (1, 3). Case IV: k = 3 $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{3}^{-}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{3}^{-}}(4) = 4$ $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{3}^{+}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{3}^{+}}(5) = 5$ $\Rightarrow\ ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}^{-}}\text{f(x)} \neq ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}^{+}}\text{f(x)}$ Hence, f is not continuous at x = 3.Case V: $3 < \text{k}\leq 10$
Then, f(k) = 5
$^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}(5) = 5 = \text{f(k)}$ Thus $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{f(x)} = \text{f(k)}$ Hence, f is contionuous at all points of the interval [3, 10]. Therefore, x = 1 and 3 are the points of discontinuity of f.

Find all points of discontinuity of f, where f is defined by:
$\text {f(x)}=\begin{cases}\frac{\text x}{|\text x|},\ \ \text {if x}<0\\-1,\ \text{if x} \geq 0\end{cases}$
AnswerHere $\text {f(x)}=\begin{cases}\frac{\text x}{|\text x|},\ \ \text {if x}<0\\-1,\ \text{if x} \geq 0\end{cases}$Function f is defined for all points of the real line.
Let c be any real number.
Three cases arise:
Case I: c < 0
$^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\frac{\text{x}}{|\text{x}|} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{-x}}\big) =^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}(-1) = -1 $
Also $\text{f(c)} = \frac{\text c} {|\text c|} = \frac{\text{c}}{-\text{c}} = -1$
$\therefore\ ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)} = \text{f(c)}$
$\therefore$ f is continuous at all point x < 0
Case II: c > 0
$^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\frac{\text{x}}{|\text{x}|} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}}\big) =^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}(1) = 1 $
Also $\text{f(c)} = \frac{\text c} {|\text c|} = \frac{\text{c}}{\text{c}} = 1$
$\therefore\ ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)} = \text{f(c)}$
$\therefore$ f is continuous at all points x > 0.
Case III: c = 0
$^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}^{-}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{-}}\frac{\text{x}}{|\text{x}|} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{-}}\big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{-x}}\big) =^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{-}}(-1) = -1 $
$^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}^{+}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{+}}\frac{\text{x}}{|\text{x}|} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{+}}\big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}}\big) =^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{+}}(1) = 1 $
$\therefore\ ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}^{-}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}^{+}}\text{f(x)}$
$\therefore$ f is discontinuous at x = 0.

Using mean value theorem, prove that there is a point on the curve $y = 2x^2 - 5x + 3$ between the points $A(1, 0)$ and $B(2, 1),$ where tangent is parallel to the chord $AB$. Also, find that point.
AnswerWe have, $y = 2x^2 - 5x + 3 $which is continuous in [1, 2] as it is a polynomial function.
Also, y’ = 4x - 5, which exists in (1, 2).
By mean value theorem, $\exists\text{ c}\in(1,2)$ at which drawn tangent is parallel to the chord AB,
where A and B are (1, 0) and (2, 1), respectively.
$\therefore\ \text{f}'(\text{c})=\frac{\text{f}(2)-\text{f}(1)}{2-1}$
$\Rightarrow\ 4\text{c}-5=\frac{(8-10+3)-(2-5+3)}{1}$
$\Rightarrow\ 4\text{c}-5=1$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{c}=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}\in(1,2)$
For $\text{x}=\frac{3}{2},\ \text{y}=2\Big(\frac{3}{2}\Big)^2-5\Big(\frac{3}{2}\Big)+3$
$=2\times\frac{9}{4}-\frac{15}{2}+3=\frac{9-15+6}{2}=0$
Hence, $\Big(\frac{3}{2},0\Big)$ is the point on the curve $y = 2x^2 - 5x + 3 $between the points
A(1, 0) and B(2, 1) where tangent is parallel to the chord AB.

AnswerWe have, $\text{y}=\text{x}^{\cos\text{x}}+(\sin\text{x})^{\tan\text{x}}$
$\text{y}=\text{e}^{\log\text{x}^{\cos\text{x}}}+\text{e}^{\log(\sin\text{x})^{\tan\text{x}}}$

If $\text{x}=\text{a}\sec\theta,\text{y}=b\tan\theta$ prove that $\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=-\frac{\text{b}^4}{\text{a}^2\text{y}^3}$
AnswerHere,
$\text{x}=\text{a}\sec\theta,\text{y}=b\tan\theta$
Differentiating w.r.t.x, we get
$\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{d}\theta}=\text{a}\sec\theta\tan\theta\ \text{and}\ \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{d}\theta}=b\sec^2\theta$
$\therefore\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{d}\theta}\times\frac{\text{d}\theta}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{b}\sec^2\theta}{\text{a}\sec\theta\tan\theta}=\frac{\text{b}\ \text{cosec}\theta}{\text{a}}$
Differentiating w.r.t.x, we get
$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}\times-\text{cosec}\theta\cot\theta\times\frac{\text{d}\theta}{\text{dx}} $
$=-\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}\times\text{cosec}\theta\cot\theta\times\frac{1}{\text{a}\sec\theta\tan\theta}$
$=\frac{-\text{b}}{\text{a}^2}\times\frac{1}{\tan^3\theta}$
$\therefore\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=\frac{-\text{b}}{\frac{\text{a}^2\text{y}^3}{\text{b}^3}}=-\frac{\text{b}^4}{\text{a}^2\text{y}^3}$

Discuss the continuity of the function f, where f is defined by: $\text{f(x)}= \begin{cases}\ 2\text{x},\ \ \text{if}\ \text{x}<0 \\0,\ \ \ \ \text{if}\ 0\leq\text{x}\leq1\\4\text{x},\ \ \ \text{if}\ \text{x}>1\end{cases}$
AnswerThe given function is $\text{f(x)}= \begin{cases}\ 2\text{x},\ \ \text{if}\ \text{x}<0 \\0,\ \ \ \ \text{if}\ 0\leq\text{x}\leq1\\4\text{x},\ \ \ \text{if}\ \text{x}>1\end{cases}$ The function f is defined at all points of the real line. Then, we have 5 cases i.e. k < 0, k = 0, 0 < k < 1, k = 1 or k < 1.

Case II: k = 0 f(0) = 0 $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{-}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{-}}(\text{2x}) = 2\times 0 = 0$ $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{+}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{+}}(0) = 0$ $\Rightarrow\ ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}^{-}}\text{f(x)} =^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}^{+}}\text{f(x)}=\text{f(k)}$ Hence, f is not continuous at x = 0.

Case IV: k = 1 Then f(k) = f(1) = 0 $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{-}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{-}}(0) = 0$ $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{+}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{1}^{+}}(\text{4x}) = 4\times 1 = 4$ $\Rightarrow\ ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}^{-}}\text{f(x)} \neq ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}^{+}}\text{f(x)}$ Hence, f is not continuous at x = 1.Case V: k < 1
Then, f(k) = 4k
$^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}(\text{4x}) = 4\text{k} = \text{f(k)}$ Thus $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{f(x)} = \text{f(k)}$ Hence, f is contionuous at all points x, s.t. x > 1. Therefore, x = 1 is the only point of discontinuity of f.

Let $\text{f}\text{(x)}=\frac{\log\Big(1+\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}\Big)-\log\Big(1-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}\Big)}{\text{x}},\text{x}\neq0$ Find the value of f at x = 0. So that f becomes continuous at x = 0.
AnswerGiven, $\text{f}\text{(x)}=\frac{\log\Big(1+\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}\Big)-\log\Big(1-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}\Big)}{\text{x}},\text{x}\neq0$
If f(x) is continuous at x = 0, then
$\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\text{f}\text{(x)}=\text{f}(0)$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\begin{pmatrix}\frac{\log\Big(1+\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}\Big)-\log\Big(1-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}\Big)}{\text{x}}\end{pmatrix}=\text{f}(0)$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\begin{pmatrix}\frac{\log\Big(1+\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}\Big)}{\frac{\text{ax}}{\text{a}}}-\frac{\log\Big(1-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}\Big)}{\frac{\text{bx}}{\text{b}}}\end{pmatrix}=\text{f}(0)$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\begin{pmatrix}\frac{\log\Big(1+\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}\Big)}{\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}}\end{pmatrix}-\Big(-\frac{1}{\text{b}}\Big)\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\begin{pmatrix}\frac{\log\Big(1-\frac{\text{x}}{\text{b}}\Big)}{\frac{-\text{x}}{\text{b}}}\end{pmatrix}=\text{f}(0)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{a}}\times1-\Big(-\frac{1}{\text{b}}\Big)\times1=\text{f}(0)$ $\Big[\text{Using :}\lim_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{log(1}+\text{x)}}{\text{x}}=1\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{a}}+\frac{1}{\text{b}}=\text{f}(0)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}}{\text{ab}}=\text{f}(0)$

Find a point on the curve $y = (x - 3)^2,$ where the tangent is parallel to the chord joining the points $(3, 0)$ and $(4, 1).$
AnswerConsider, $y = (x - 3)^2,$ which is continuous in $x_1, = 3$ and $x_2 = 4 i.e., [3, 4]$
Also, $y' = 2(x - 3).1 = 2(x - 3)$ which exists in $(3, 4).$
Hence, by mean value theorem there exists a point on the curve at which tangent drawn is parallel to the chord joining the points $(3, 0)$ and $(4, 1).$
Thus, $\text{f}'(\text{c})=\frac{\text{f}(4)-\text{f}(3)}{4-3}$
$\Rightarrow\ 2(\text{c}-3)=\frac{(4-3)^2-(3-3)^2}{4-3}$
$\Rightarrow\ 2\text{c}-6=\frac{1-0}{1}$ $\Rightarrow\ \text{c}=\frac{7}{2}$
For $\text{x}=\frac{7}{2},$ $\text{y}=\Big(\frac{7}{3}-3\Big)^2=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^2=\frac{1}{4}$
So, $\Big(\frac{7}{2},\frac{1}{4}\Big)$ is the point on the curve at which tangent drawn is parallel to the chord joining the points (3, 0) and (4, 1).

Differentiate $\sin^{-1}\Big(2\text{x}\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}\Big)$ with respect to $\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}\Big),$ if $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}<\text{x}<\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
AnswerLet, $\text{u}=\sin^{-1}(2\text{x}\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2})$
Put $\text{x}=\sin\theta$
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=\sin^{-1}\Big(2\sin\theta\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=\sin^{-1}(2\sin\theta\cos\theta)$
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=\sin^{-1}(\sin2\theta)\ .....(\text{i})$
Let $\text{v}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\sqrt{1-\text{x}}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\sin\theta}{\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\tan^{-1}(\tan\theta)\ .....(\text{ii})$
Here, $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}<\text{x}<\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}<\sin\theta<\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{\pi}{4}<\theta<\frac{\pi}{4}$
So, from equation (i),
$\text{u}= 2\theta\bigg[\text{Since,}\sin^{-1}(\sin\theta)=\theta,\text{if }\theta\in\bigg[-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\bigg]\bigg]$
$\Rightarrow\text{u}=2\sin^{-1}\text{x}[\text{Since, x}=\sin\theta]$
Differentiating it with respect to x,
$\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}\ .....(\text{iii})$
From equation (ii),
$\text{v}=\theta\bigg[\text{Since,}\tan^{-1}(\tan\theta)=\theta,\text{if }\theta\in\Big(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)\bigg]$
$\Rightarrow\text{v}=\sin^{-1}\text{x}[\text{since, x}=\sin\theta]$
Differentiating it with respect to x,
$\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}\ .....\text{(iv)}$
Dividing equation (iii) by (iv)
$\frac{\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}}{\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}\times\frac{\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}{1}$
$\therefore\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dv}}=2$

If $\text{y}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\sqrt{1+\text{x}}-\sqrt{1-\text{x}}}{\sqrt{1+\text{x}}+\sqrt{1+\text{x}}}\Big),$ find $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}.$
AnswerHere, $\text{y}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\sqrt{1+\text{x}}-\sqrt{1-\text{x}}}{\sqrt{1+\text{x}}+\sqrt{1+\text{x}}}\Big)$
Put $\text{x}=\cos2\theta$
$\therefore \text{y}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\sqrt{1+\cos2\theta}-\sqrt{1-\cos2\theta}}{\sqrt{1+\cos2\theta}+\sqrt{1-\cos2\theta}}\Big)$
$=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\sqrt{2\cos^2\theta}-\sqrt{2\sin^2\theta}}{\sqrt{2\cos^2\theta}+\sqrt{2\sin^2\theta}}\Big)$
$=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\sqrt{2}(\cos\theta-\sin\theta)}{\sqrt{2}(\cos\theta+\sin\theta)}\Big)$
$=\tan^{-1}\bigg(\frac{\frac{\cos\theta-\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}}{\frac{\cos\theta+\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}}\bigg)$
[Dividing numerator and denomainator by $\cos\theta$]
$=\tan^{-1}\bigg(\frac{\frac{\cos\theta}{\cos\theta}-\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}}{\frac{\cos\theta}{\cos\theta}+\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}}\bigg)$
$=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{1-\tan\theta}{1+\tan\theta}\Big)$
$=\tan^{-1}\bigg(\frac{\tan\frac{\pi}{4}-\tan\theta}{1+\tan\frac{\pi}{4}\times\tan\theta}\bigg)$
$=\tan^{-1}\Big[\tan\big(\frac{\pi}{4}-\theta\big)\Big]$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}-\theta$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{1}{2}\cos^{-1}\text{x}\ (\text{Using x}=\cos2\theta)$
Differentiate it with respect to x,
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=0-\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}\Big)$

AnswerLet $\text{y}=\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^\text{x}+\text{x}^{\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)}$
Putting $\text{y}=\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^\text{x}=\text{u and }\text{x}^{\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)}=\text{v}$
y = u + v $\ \therefore\ \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}+\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}\ \dots\text{(i)}$

Verify Rolle's theorem for the following function on the indicated intervals
$f(x) = x^2 - 8x + 12$ on $[2, 6]$
AnswerGiven: $f(x) = x^2 - 8x + 12$ We know that a polynomial function is everywhere derivable and hence continuous.
So, being a polynomial function f(x) is continuous and derivable on $[2, 6].$
$f(2) = (2)^2 - 8(2) + 12 = 4 - 16 + 12 = 0$
$f(6) = (6)^2 - 8(6) + 12 = 36 - 48 + 12 = 0$
$\therefore$ $f(2) = f(6) = 0$
Thus, all the conditions of rolle's theorem are satisfied.
Now, we have to show that there exist $\text{c}\in(2, 6)$ such that f'(c) = 0
We have
$f(x) = x^2 - 8x + 12$
$\Rightarrow f'(x) = 2x - 8$
$\therefore$ $f'(x) = 0$
$\Rightarrow 2x - 8 = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 4$
Thus, $\text{c}=4\in(2,6)$ such that $f'(c) = 0$

Show that the function defined by f(x) = | cos x | is a continuous function.
AnswerIt is given function is $\text{f(x)} = |\cos\text{x}|$
The given function f is defined for real number and f can be written as the composition of two functions, as
f = goh, where, $\text{g(x}) =| \text{x}|\ \text {and}\ \text{h(x)} = \cos\text{x}$
First we have to prove that $\text{g(x}) =| \text{x}|\ \text {and}\ \text{h(x)} = \cos\text{x}$ are continuous functions.
g(x) = lxl can be written as
$\text{g(x)}=\begin{cases}-\text{x},&\text{if}\ \text{x}<{0}\\\text{x},& \text{if}\ \text{x}\geq0\end{cases}$
Now, g is defined for all real number.
Let k be a real number.
Case I: If k < 0,
Then g(k) = -k
And $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{g(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}(-\text{x}) = -\text{k}$
Thus $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{g(x)} =\text{g(k)}$
Therefore, g is continuous at all points x, i.e. x > 0
Case II: If k > 0,
Then g(k) = k and
$^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{g(x)} =\text{g(k)}$
Therefore, g is continuous at all points x, i.e. x < 0
Case III: If k = 0,
Then, g(k) = g(0) = 0
$^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{-}}\text{g(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{-}}(-\text{x}) = 0$
$^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{+}}\text{g(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{+}}(\text{x}) = 0$
$\therefore^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{-}}\text{g(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{+}}\text g({\text x}) =\text{g}( 0)$
Therefore, g is continuous at x = 0
From the above 3 cases, we get that g is continuous at all points.
h(x) = cosx
We know that h is defined for every real number.
Let k be a real number.
Now, put x = k + h
If x → k, then h → 0
$^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{h(x)} =^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\cos\text{x}$
$ = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\cos(\text{k}+\text{h})$
$ = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}[\cos\text{k}.\cos\text{h} - \sin\text{k}.\sin\text{h}]$
$ = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\cos\text{k}\cos\text{h} - ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\sin\text{k}\sin\text{h}$
$= \cos \text{k}\cos0 - \sin\text{k}\sin0$
$= \cos \text{k} \times 1 - \sin \times\ 0$
$=\cos \text{k}$
$\therefore\ ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{h(x)} =\text{h(k)}$
Thus, h(x) = cos x is continuous function.
We know that for real valued functions g and h, such that (goh) is defined at k, if g is continuous at k and if f is continuous at g(k),
Then (fog) is continuous at k.
Therefore,$\text{ f(x)} = \text{(gof)(x)} = \text{g(h(x))} = \text{g}(\cos \text{x)}= |\cos\text{x}|$ is a continuous function.

AnswerLet $\text{x}^{\text{x}\cos\text{x}}+\frac{\text{x}^2+1}{\text{x}^2-1}$
Putting $\text{u}=\text{x}^{\text{x}\cos\text{x}}\text{ and v}=\frac{\text{x}^2+1}{\text{x}^2-1},\text{we have y}=\text{u}+\text{v}$
$\therefore\ \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}+\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}\ \dots\text{(i)}$
Now $\text{u}=\text{x}^{\text{x}\cos\text{x}}\ \ \Rightarrow\ \log \text{u}=\log\text{x}^{\text{x}\cos\text{x}}\cos \text{x}=\text{x} \cos\text{x} \log\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{1}{\text{u}}\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{x}\cos\text{x}\log\text{x})$

$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}=\text{u}(\cos\text{x}\log\text{x}-\text{x}\sin\text{x}\log\text{x}+\cos\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}=\text{x}^{\text{x}\cos\text{x}}(\cos\text{x}\log\text{x}-\text{x}\sin\text{x}\log\text{x}+\cos\text{x})\ \dots\text{(ii)}$
Again $\text{v}=\frac{\text{x}^2+1}{\text{x}^2-1}\ \Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{(\text{x}^2-1)\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{x}^2+1)-(\text{x}^2+1)\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{x}^2-1)}{(\text{x}^2-1)^2}$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{(\text{x}^2-1)2\text{x}-(\text{x}^2+1)2\text{x}}{(\text{x}^2-1)^2}\ \Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{2\text{x}^3-2\text{x}-2\text{x}^3-2\text{x}}{(\text{x}^2-1)^2}$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{-4\text{x}}{(\text{x}^2-1)^2}\ \dots\ \text{(iii)}$
Putting the values from eq. (ii) and (iii) in eq. (i),
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{x}^{\text{x}\cos\text{x}}(\cos\text{x}\log\text{x}-\text{x}\sin\text{x}\log\text{x}+\cos\text{x})+\frac{-4\text{x}}{(\text{x}^2-1)^2}$

AnswerThe given function f is $\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}-2,&\text{if }\text{ x}\leq-1\\2\text{x},&\text{if }-1<\text{x}\leq1\\2,&\text{if }\text{ x}>1\end{cases}$ The given function is defined at all points of the real line. Let c be a point on the real line.Case I:
If c < -1, then f(c) = -2 and $\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}(-2)=-2$ $\therefore\ \lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)}=\text{f(c)}$ Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x < -1Case II:
If c = -1, then f(c) = f(-1) = -2 The left hand limit of f at x = -1 is $\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow1^-}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow1^-}(-2)=-2$ The right hand limit of f at x = -1 is $\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow1^+}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow1^+}(2\text{x})=2\times(-1)=-2$ $\therefore\ \lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow-1}\text{f(x)}=\text{f}(-1)$ Therefore, f is continuous at x = -1Case III:
If -1 < c < 1, then f(c) = 2c $\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}(2\text{x})=2\text{c}$ $\therefore\ \lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)}=\text{f(c)}$ Therefore, f is continuous at all points of the interval (-1, 1) Case IV: If c = 1, then f(c) = f(1) = 2 × 1 = 2 The left hand limit of f at x = 1 is, $\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow1^-}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow1^-}(2\text{x})=2\times1=2$ The right hand limit of f at x = 1 is, $\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow1^+}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow1^+}2=2$ $\therefore\ \lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow1}\text{f(x)}=\text{f(c)}$ Therefore, f is continuous at x = 2Case V:
If c > 1, then f(c) = 2 and $\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}(2)=2$ $\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)}=\text{f(c)}$ Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x > 1 Thus, from the above observations, it can be concluded that f is continuous at all points of the real line.

Verify Lagrange's mean value theorem for the following function on the indicated intervals. find a point 'c' in the indicated interval as stated by the Lagrange's mean value theorem.
$\text{f}(\text{x})=\sqrt{25-\text{x}^2}\text{ on }[-3,4]$
AnswerWe have,$\text{f}(\text{x})=\sqrt{25-\text{x}^2}$
Here, f(x) will exist, if
$25-\text{x}^2\geq0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2\leq25$
$\Rightarrow-5\leq\text{x}\leq5$
Since for each $\text{x}\in[-3,4],$ the function f(x) attains a unique definite value.
So, f(x) is continuous on [-3, 4]
Also, $\text{f}'(\text{x})=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{25-\text{x}^2}}(-2\text{x})=\frac{-\text{x}}{\sqrt{25-\text{x}^2}}$ exists for all $\text{x}\in(-3,4)$
So, f(x) is differentiable on (-3, 4).
Thus, both the conditions of Lagrange's theorem are satisfied.
Consequently, there exist some $\text{c}\in(-3,4)$ such that
$\text{f}'(\text{c})=\frac{\text{f}(4)-\text{f}(-3)}{4+3}=\frac{\text{f}(4)-\text{f}(-3)}{7}$
Now, $\text{f}(\text{x})=\sqrt{25-\text{x}^2}$
$\text{f}'(\text{x})=\frac{-\text{x}}{\sqrt{25-\text{x}^2}},\text{f}(-3)=4,\text{f}(4)=3$
$\therefore\ \text{f}'(\text{x})=\frac{\text{f}(4)-\text{f}(-3)}{4+3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{-\text{x}}{\sqrt{25-\text{x}^2}}=\frac{3-4}{7}$
$\Rightarrow49\text{x}^2=25-\text{x}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\pm\frac{1}{\sqrt2}$
Thus, $\text{c}=\pm\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\in(-3,4)$ such that $\text{f}'(\text{c})=\frac{\text{f}(4)-\text{f}(-3)}{4-(-3)}.$
Hence, Lagrange's mean value theorem is verified.

Find all points of discontinuity of f, where f is defined by:
$\text f(\text x)=\begin{cases}2\text{x}+3, \text {if}\ \ \text x\leq2 \\2\text{x} - 3, \text {if}\ \ \text x > 2\end{cases}$
AnswerHere $\text{f(x)} = \begin{cases}2\text{x} +3, \text{if}\ \text{x}\leq2\\ 2\text{x}-3, \ \text{if}\ \text{x} > 2\end{cases}$Function f is defined for all points of thr real line.
Let c be any real number.
Three cases arise:
Case I: c < 2
$^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}(2\text{x}+ 3) = 2\text{c} + 3$
Also f(c) = 2c + 3
$\therefore$ f is continuous at all points x < 2.
Case II: c > 2
$^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}(2\text{x}- 3) = 2\text{c} - 3$
Also f(c) = 2c - 3
$\therefore\ ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)}= \text{f(c)}$
$\therefore$ f is continuous at all points x >2.
Case III: c = 2
$^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{2}{-}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{2}{-}}(2\text{x}+ 3) = 4 + 3 = 7$
$^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{2}{+}}\text{f(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{2}{=}}(2\text{x}- 3) = 4 - 3 = 1$
$\therefore\ ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{2}^{-}}\text{f(x)}\neq \ ^{\ \ \text{Lt}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{2}^{+}}\text{f(x)}$
$\therefore$ f is not continuous at x = 2
$\therefore$ x = 2 is the only point of discontinuity of f.

Verify Lagrange's mean value theorem for the following function on the indicated intervals. find a point 'c' in the indicated interval as stated by the Lagrange's mean value theorem.
$f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 4$ on $[1, 5]$
AnswerWe have,$f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 4$
Since a polynomial function is everywhere continuous and differentiable.
Therefore, f(x) is continuous on [1, 5] and differentiable on (1, 5).
Thus, both conditions of Lagrange's mean value theorem are satisfied.
So, there must exist at least one real number $\text{c}\in(1,5)$ such that
$\text{f}'(\text{c})=\frac{\text{f}(5)-\text{f}(-1)}{5-1}=\frac{\text{f}(5)-\text{f}(-1)}{4}$
Now, $f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 4$
$\Rightarrow f'(x) = 2x - 2$
$\Rightarrow f(5) = 25 - 10 + 4 = 19$
$\Rightarrow f(1) = 1 - 2 + 4 = 3$
$\therefore\ \text{f}'(\text{x})=\frac{\text{f}(5)-\text{f}(-1)}{4}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}-2=\frac{19-3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}-2-4=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{6}{2}=3$
Thus, $\text{c}=3\in(1,5)$ such that $\text{f}'(\text{c})=\frac{\text{f}(5)-\text{f}(-1)}{5-1}$
Hence, Lagrange's mean value theorem is verified.

Find $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{ dx}} $in the following:
$\text{y}=\cos^{-1}\Bigg(\frac{2\text{x}}{1+\text{x}^{2}}\Bigg), -1<\text{x}<1$
AnswerThe given relationship is,$\text{y}=\cos^{-1}\Bigg(\frac{2\text{x}}{1+\text{x}^{2}}\Bigg)$
$\text{y}=\cos^{-1}\Bigg(\frac{2\text{x}}{1+\text{x}^{2}}\Bigg)$
$\Rightarrow\cos\text{y}=\frac{2\text{x}}{1+\text{x}^{2}}$
Differentiating this relationship with respect to x, we obtain
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\cos\text{y})=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\bigg(\frac{2\text{x}}{1+\text{x}^{2}}\bigg)$
Using chain rule, we obtain
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\cos\text{y})=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}.\bigg(\frac{2\text{x}}{1+\text{x}^{2}}\bigg)$
$(-\sin\text{y})\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}.\bigg(\frac{2\text{x}}{1+\text{x}^{2}}\bigg)$
$\Rightarrow-\sqrt{1-\cos^{2}\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{(1+\text{x}^{2})\times2-2\text{x}.2\text{x}}{(1+\text{x}^{2})^{2}}$
$\Bigg[\sqrt{1-\bigg(\frac{2\text{x}}{1+\text{x}}\bigg)^{2}}\Bigg]\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\Bigg[\frac{2(1-\text{x}^{2})}{(1+\text{x})^{2}}\Bigg]$
$\sqrt{\frac{(1+\text{x})^2-4\text{x}^2}{(1+\text{x}^2)^2}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{-2(1-\text{x})^2}{(1+\text{x}^2)^2}$
$\sqrt{\frac{(1-\text{x}^{2})^2}{(1+\text{x}^2)^2}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{-2(1-\text{x})^2}{(1+\text{x}^2)^2}$
$\Rightarrow{\frac{1-\text{x}^{2}}{1+\text{x}^2}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{-2(1-\text{x})^2}{(1+\text{x}^2)^2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{-2}{1+\text{x}^2}$

AnswerGiven,
$\text{f}\text{(x)}=\frac{1-\cos \text{x}}{\text{x}^2}, \text{when x}\neq0$
$\text{f}\text{(x)}=1, \text{when x}=0$
consider
$\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\text{f}\text{(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{1-\cos \text{x}}{\text{x}^2}$
$\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\text{f}\text{(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{2\sin^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{\text{x}^2}$
$\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\text{f}\text{(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{2\sin^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{\frac{4\text{x}^2}{4}}$
$\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\text{f}\text{(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{2\sin\frac{\text{x}^2}{2}}{\frac{4\text{x}^2}{2}}$
$\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\text{f}\text{(x)}=\frac{2}{4}\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{\frac{\text{x}}{2}}$
$\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\text{f}\text{(x)}=\frac{1}{2}(1)$
Given f(0) = 1
$\therefore\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\text{f}\text{(x)}\neq\text{f}(0)$
Thus, f(x) is discontinuous at x = 0.

If $\text{x}=2\cos\text{t}-\cos2\text{t},\text{y}=2\sin\text{t}-\sin2\text{t},$ find $\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}\ \text{at}\ \text{t}=\frac{\pi}{2}.$
AnswerGiven,
$\text{x}=2\cos\text{t}-\cos\text{2}\text{t}$
$\text{y}=2\sin\text{t}-\sin\text{2t}$
Differentiating w.r.t. t,
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=2(-\sin\text{t})-2(-\sin\text{2t})$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dt}}=2\cot-2\cos\text{2t}$
Dividing both:
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{2(\cos\text{t}-\cos\text{2t})}{2(\sin\text{2t}-\sin\text{t})}$
Differentiating w.r.t. t,
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{d}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{(\sin\text{2t}-\sin\text{t})(-\sin\text{t}+2\sin\text{2t})-(\cos\text{t}-\cos\text{2t})(2\cos\text{2t}-\cos\text{t})}{(\sin\text{2t}-\sin\text{t})^2}$
Dividing:
$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=\frac{(\sin\text{2t}-\sin\text{t})(2\sin\text{t}-\sin\text{t})-(\cos\text{t}-\cos\text{2t})(2\cos\text{2t}-\cos\text{t})}{2(\sin\text{2t}-\sin)^3}$
Putting: $\text{t}=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=\frac{1+2}{-2}=-\frac{3}{2}$

Differentiate the following functions with respect to x:

AnswerLet, $\text{y}=\sqrt{\tan^{-1}\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{y}=\Big(\tan^{-1}\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)\Big)^\frac{1}{2}$
Differentiate it with respect to x,
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\Big(\tan^{-1}\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)\Big)^\frac{1}{2}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\tan^{-1}\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)^{\frac{1}{2}-1}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\Big(\tan^{-1}\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\tan^{-1}\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)^{\frac{-1}{2}}\times\frac{1}{1+\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)^2}\times\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)$
$=\frac{4}{4\sqrt{\tan^{-1}\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)}\big(4+\text{x}^2\big)}$
$=\frac{1}{\big(4+\text{x}^2\big)\sqrt{\tan^{-1}\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)}}$
So,
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\bigg(\sqrt{\tan^{-1}\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)}\bigg)=\frac{1}{\big(4+\text{x}^2\big)\sqrt{\tan^{-1}\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)}}$

In the following, determine the values of constants involved in the definition so that the given function is continuous:
$\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}\frac{\text{k}\cos\text{x}}{\pi-2\text{x}},&\text{x}<\frac{{\pi}}{2}\\3,&\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{2}\\\frac{3\tan\text{x}}{2\text{x}-\pi},&\text{x}>\frac{\pi}{2}\end{cases}$
AnswerSince the f(x) function is continuous at $\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{2}$ therefore
LHL of f(x) at $\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{2}$ is
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\frac{\pi}{2}^-}\text{f(x)}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{f}\Big(\text{h}-\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{k}\cos\text{f}\Big(\text{h}-\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)}{\pi-2\text{f}\Big(\text{h}-\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{k}\sin\text{h}}{2\pi-2\text{h}}$
$=\frac{\text{k}}{2}\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin(\pi-\text{h})}{(\pi-\text{h})}$
$=\frac{\text{k}}{2}$
Again,
$\text{f}\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)=3$
Hence,
$\text{LHL}=\text{f}\Big(\frac{\pi}{3}\Big) $
$\frac{\text{k}}{2}=3$
$\text{k}=6$

At x = a $\text{L.H.L}=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{a}^-}|\text{x}-\text{a}|\sin\frac{1}{\text{x}-\text{a}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}|\text{a}-\text{h}-\text{a}|\sin\Big(\frac{1}{\text{a}-\text{h}-\text{a}}\Big)$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}-\text{h}\sin\Big(\frac{1}{\text{h}}\Big)\ [\because\sin(-\theta)=-\sin\theta]$
= 0 × [an oscillating number between -1 and 1] = 0
$\text{R.H.L}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{a}^+}|\text{x}-\text{a}|\sin\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}-\text{a}}\Big)$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}|\text{a}+\text{h}-\text{a}|\sin\Big(\frac{1}{\text{a}+\text{h}-\text{a}}\Big)$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{h}\sin\frac{1}{\text{h}}$
= 0 × [an oscillating number between -1 and 1] = 0
and f(a) = 0
$\therefore$ L.H.L = R.H.L = f(a)
So, f(x) is continuous at x = a.

Examine that sin |x| is a continuous function.
AnswerIt is given function is $\text{f(x)} = \sin|\text{x}|$
The given function f is defined for real number and f can be written as the composition of two functions, as
f = goh, where, $\text{g(x}) =| \text{x}|\ \text {and}\ \text{h(x)} = \sin\text{x}$
First we have to prove that $\text{g(x}) =| \text{x}|\ \text {and}\ \text{h(x)} = \sin\text{x}$ are continuous functions.
g(x) = lxl can be written as
$\text{g(x)}=\begin{cases}-\text{x},&\text{if}\ \text{x}<{0}\\\text{x},& \text{if}\ \text{x}\geq0\end{cases}$
Now, g is defined for all real number.
Let k be a real number.
Case I: If k < 0,
Then g(k) = -k
And $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{g(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}(-\text{x}) = -\text{k}$
Thus $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{g(x)} =\text{g(k)}$
Therefore, g is continuous at all points x, i.e. x > 0
Case II: If k > 0,
Then g(k) = k and
$^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{g(x)} =^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{x}=\text{k}$
Thus $^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{g(x)} =\text{g(k)}$
Therefore, g is continuous at all points x, i.e. x < 0
Case III: If k = 0,
Then, g(k) = g(0) = 0
$^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{-}}\text{g(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{-}}(-\text{x}) = 0$
$^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{+}}\text{g(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{+}}(\text{x}) = 0$
$\therefore^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{-}}\text{g(x)} = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{0}^{+}}\text g({\text x}) =\text{g}( 0)$
Therefore, g is continuous at x = 0
From the above 3 cases, we get that g is continuous at all points.
h(x) = sinx
We know that h is defined for every real number.
Let k be a real number.
Now, put x = k + h
If x → k, then h → 0
$^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{h(x)} =^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\sin\text{x}$
$ = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\sin(\text{k}+\text{h})$
$ = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}[\sin\text{k}\cos\text{h} + \cos\text{k}\sin\text{h}]$
$ = ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\sin\text{k}\cos\text{h} +^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{h}\rightarrow\text{0}}\cos\text{k}\sin\text{h}$
$= \sin\text{k}\cos0 + \cos\text{k}\sin0$
$=\sin \text{k}$
$\therefore\ ^{\ \ \text{lim}}_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{k}}\text{h(x)} =\text{g(k)}$
Thus, h(x) = cos x is continuous function.
We know that for real valued functions g and h, such that (goh) is defined at k, if g is continuous at k and if f is continuous at g(k),
Then (fog) is continuous at k.
Therefore, $\text{ f(x)} = \text{(gof)(x)} = \text{g(h(x))} = \text{g}(\sin \text{x)}= |\sin\text{x}|$is a continuous function.

Verify Rolle's theorem of the following function on the indicated interval
$\text{f}(\text{x})=\log(\text{x}^2+2)-\log3\text{ on }[-1,1]$
AnswerThe given function is $\text{f}(\text{x})=\log(\text{x}^2+2)-\log3,$ which can be rewritten as$\text{f}(\text{x})=\log\Big(\frac{\text{x}^2+2}{3}\Big)$
We know that, logarithmic function is differentiable and so continuous in its domain $\text{f}(\text{x})=\log\Big(\frac{\text{x}^2+2}{3}\Big)$ is continuous is $[-1,1]$ and differentiable is $(-1,1).$
Also,
f(1) = f(-1) = 0
Thus, f(x) satisfies all the conditions of Rolle's theorem.
Now, we have show that there must exists $\text{c}\in(-1,1)$ such that f'(c) = 0.
We have,
$\text{f}(\text{x})=\log\Big(\frac{\text{x}^2+2}{3}\Big)$
$\text{f}'(\text{x})=\frac{3(2\text{x})}{\text{x}^2+2}=\frac{6\text{x}}{\text{x}^2+2}$
$\therefore\ \text{f}'(\text{x})=0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{6\text{x}}{\text{x}^2+2}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=0$
Thus, $\text{c}=0\in(-1,1)$ such that f'(c) = 0.
Hence, Rolle's theorem is verified.

Find the points on the curve $y = x^3 - 3x$, where the tangent to the curve is parallel to the chord joining $(1, -2)$ and $(2, 2)$.
AnswerHere,$y = x^3 − 3x$
y is polynomial function, so it is continuous and differentiable, so Lagrange's mean value theorem is applicable thus there exists a point c such that,
$\text{f}'(\text{c})=\frac{\text{f}(\text{b})-\text{f}(\text{a})}{\text{b}-\text{a}}$
$\Rightarrow3\text{c}^2-3=\frac{\text{f}(2)-\text{f}(1)}{2-1}$
$\Rightarrow3\text{c}^2-3=\frac{2+2}{1}$
$\Rightarrow3\text{c}^2=7$
$\Rightarrow\text{c}=\pm\sqrt{\frac{7}{3}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\pm\frac{2}{3}\sqrt{\frac{7}{3}}$
So, $(\text{c},\text{y})=\Big(\pm\sqrt{\frac{7}{3}},\pm\frac{2}{3}\sqrt{\frac{7}{3}}\Big)$ is the required point.

$\text{y}=\tan^{-1}\text{x}$
AnswerWe have,
$\text{y}=\tan^{-1}\text{x}$
differentiating w.r.t.x, we get
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{1}{1+\text{x}^2}$
differentiating w.r.t.x, we get

Differentiate the following with respect to x:
$\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{1-\text{x}}{1+\text{x}}\Big)$
AnswerLet $\text{y}=\cot^{-1}\Big(\frac{1-\text{x}}{1+\text{x}}\Big)$
Put $\text{x}=\tan\theta,\text{ So}$
$\text{y}=\cot^{-1}\Big(\frac{1-\tan\theta}{1+\tan\theta}\Big)$
$=\cot^{-1}\bigg(\frac{\tan\frac{\pi}{4}-\tan\theta}{1+\tan\frac{\pi}{4}\tan\theta}\bigg)$
$=\cot^{-1}\Big[\tan\Big(\frac{\pi}{4}-\theta\Big)\Big]$
$=\cot^{-1}\Big[\cot\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\pi}{4}+\theta\Big)\Big]$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}+\theta$
$\text{y}=\frac{\pi}{4}+\tan^{-1}\text{x}\ \big[\text{Since x}=\tan\theta\big]$
Differentiating it with respect do x,
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=0+\frac{1}{1+\text{x}^2}$
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{1}{1+\text{x}^2}$

Find which of the function:
$\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}|\text{x}|\cos\frac{1}{\text{x}},&\text{if x}\neq0\\0,&\text{if x}=0\end{cases}$
at x = 0
AnswerWe have, $\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}|\text{x}|\cos\frac{1}{\text{x}},&\text{if x}\neq0\\0,&\text{if x}=0\end{cases}$ at x = 0
At x = 0, $\text{L.H.L}=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}|\text{x}|\cos\frac{1}{\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}|0-\text{h}|\cos\frac{1}{0-\text{h}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{h}\cos\frac{1}{\text{h}}$
= 0 × [an oscillating number between -1 and 1] = 0
$\text{R.H.L}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}|\text{x}|\cos\frac{1}{\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}|0+\text{h}|\cos\frac{1}{0+\text{h}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{h}\cos\frac{1}{\text{h}}$
= 0 × [an oscillating number between -1 and 1] = 0
Also f(0) = 0 (given)
Thus, L.H.L = R.H.L = f(0)
Hence, f(x) is discontinuous at x = 0.

Find the points of discontinuity, if any of the following function:
$\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}\text{x}^3-\text{x}^2+2\text{x}-2,&\text{if }\text{ x}\neq1\\4,&\text{if }\text{ x}=1\end{cases}$
AnswerWhen $\text{x}\neq1,$ then
$\text{f(x)}=\text{x}^3-\text{x}^2+2\text{x}-2$
We know that a polynomial function is everywhere continuous.
So, $\text{f(x)}=\text{x}^3-\text{x}^2+2\text{x}-2$ is continuous at each $\text{x}\neq1$
At x = 1, we have
$(\text{LHL at x}=1)=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow1^-}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{f}(1-\text{h})$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\Big((1-\text{h})^3-(1-\text{h})^2+2(1-\text{h})-2\Big)=1-1+2-2=0$
$(\text{RHL at x}= 1)=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow1^+}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{f}(1+\text{h})$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\Big((1+\text{h})^3-(1+\text{h})^2+2(1+\text{h})-2\Big)=1-1+2-2=0$
Also, f(1) = 4
$\therefore\ \lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow1^-}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow1^+}\text{f(x)}\neq\text{f}(1)$
Thus, f(x) is discontinuous at x = 1
Hence, the only point of discontinuity for f(x) is x = 1

If the derivative of $\tan^{-1} (a + bx)$ takes the value $1$ at $x = 0$, prove that $1 + a^2 = b$.
AnswerHere, $\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\big[\tan^{-1}(\text{a}+\text{bx})\big]=1\text{ at x}=0$
So, using chain rule,
$\Big[\Big\{\frac{1}{1+(\text{a}+\text{bx})^2}\Big\}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{a}+\text{bx})\Big]_{\text{x}=0}=0$
$\Big[\frac{1}{1+(\text{a}+\text{bx})^2}\times(\text{b})\Big]_{\text{x}=0}=1$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{b}}{1+(\text{a}+0)^2}=1$
$\Rightarrow \text{b}=1+\text{a}^2$

Find the points of discontinuity, if any of the following function:
$\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}\frac{\sin3\text{x}}{\text{x}},&\text{if }\text{ x}\neq0\\4,&\text{if }\text{ x}=0\end{cases}$
AnswerWhen $\text{x}\neq0,$ then
$\text{f(x)}=\frac{\sin3\text{x}}{\text{x}}$
We know that $\sin3\text{x}$ as well as the identity function x are everwhere continuous.
So, the quotient function $\frac{\sin3\text{x}}{\text{x}}$ is continuous at each $\text{x}\neq0$
Let us consider the point x = 0
Given, $\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}\frac{\sin3\text{x}}{\text{x}},&\text{if }\text{ x}\neq0\\4,&\text{if }\text{ x}=0\end{cases}$
We have
$(\text{LHL at x}=0)=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow0^-}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{f}(0-\text{h})$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{f}(-\text{h})=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\Big(\frac{\sin(-3\text{h})}{-\text{h}}\Big)=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\Big(\frac{3\sin(3\text{h})}{3\text{h}}\Big)=3$
$(\text{RHL at x}=0)=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{f}(0+\text{h})$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{f}(\text{h})=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\Big(\frac{\sin(3\text{h})}{\text{h}}\Big)=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\Big(\frac{3\sin(3\text{h})}{3\text{h}}\Big)=3$
Also, f(0) = 4
$\therefore\ \lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow0^-}\text{f(x)}=\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}\text{f(x)}\neq\text{f}(0)$
Thus, f(x) is discontinuous at x = 0
Hence, the only point of discontinuity for f(x) is x = 0

Answer$f(x) = x^3 + 7x^2 + 8x - 9$ is a polynomial function. So, it is differentiable every.
$\text{f}'(4)=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{f}(4+\text{h})-\text{h}(4)}{\text{h}}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{[(4+\text{h})^3+7(4+\text{h})^2+8(4+\text{h})-9]-[64+112+32-9]}{\text{h}}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{[64+\text{h}^3+48\text{h}+12\text{h}^2+112+7\text{h}^2+56\text{h}+32+8\text{h}-9]-[210-9]}{\text{h}}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{h}^3+19\text{h}^2+112\text{h}+210-9-210+9}{\text{h}}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{h}^3+19\text{h}^2+112\text{h}}{\text{h}}$
$=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{h}(\text{h}^2+19\text{h}+112)}{\text{h}}$
$\text{f}'(4)=112$

Verify the Rolle’s theorem for each of the functions:
$\text{f(x)}=\sin^4\text{x}+\cos^4\text{x}\text{ in }\Big[0,\frac{\pi}{2}\Big].$
AnswerWe have, $\text{f(x)}=\sin^4\text{x}+\cos^4\text{x}\text{ in }\Big[0,\frac{\pi}{2}\Big]$
We know that $\sin\text{x}$ and $\cos\text{x}$ are continuoud and diferentiabe
$\therefore\ \sin^4\text{x}$ and $\cos^4\text{x}$ and hence $\sin^4\text{x}+\cos^4\text{x}$ is continuous and differentiable
Now $\text{f}(0)=0+1=1$ and $\text{f}\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)=1+0=1$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{f}(0)=\text{f}\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)$
So, conditions of Rolle's theorem are satisfied.
Hence, there exists atleast one $\text{c}\in\Big(0,\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)$ such that f(c) = 0
$\therefore\ 4\sin^3\text{c}\cos\text{c}-4\cos^3\text{c}\sin\text{c}=0$
$\Rightarrow\ 4\sin\text{c}\cos\text{c}(\sin^2\text{c}-\cos^2\text{c})=0$
$\Rightarrow\ 4\sin\text{c}\cos\text{c}(-\cos2\text{c})=0$
$\Rightarrow-2\sin2\text{c}\cdot\cos2\text{c}=0$
$\Rightarrow\ \sin4\text{c}=0$
$\Rightarrow\ 4\text{c}=\pi$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{c}=\frac{\pi}{4}\in\Big(0,\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)$
Hence, Rolle's theorem has been verified.

AnswerLet $\text{u}=\frac{\text{x}}{\sin\text{x}}$ and $\text{v}=\sin\text{x}$
$\therefore\ \frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\sin\text{x}\cdot\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\text{x}-\text{x}\cdot\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\sin\text{x}}{(\sin\text{x})^2}$
$=\frac{\sin\text{x}-\text{x}\cos\text{x}}{\sin^2\text{x}}$
and $\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\sin\text{x}=\cos\text{x}$
$\therefore\ \frac{\text{du}}{\text{dv}}=\frac{\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}}{\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}}=\frac{\sin\text{x}-\frac{\text{x}\cos\text{x}}{\sin^2\text{x}}}{\cos\text{x}}$
$=\frac{\sin\text{x}-\text{x}\cos\text{x}}{\sin^2\text{x}\cos\text{x}}$
$=\frac{\frac{\sin\text{x}-\text{x}\cos\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}}}{\frac{\sin^2\text{x}\cos\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}}}$
$=\frac{\tan\text{x}-\text{x}}{\sin^2\text{x}}$
