lim(x → 0) (tanx-x)/x2 tanx
As we know that tan x = sinx/cosx
lim(x → 0) (sinx/cosx - x)/x2(sinx/cosx)
lim(x → 0) (sinx - xcosx)/(x2 sinx)
lim(x → 0) cosx - (-xsinx + cosx)/(x2cosx + sinx (2x))
lim(x → 0) (cosx + xsinx - cosx)/x2cosx + 2xsinx)
lim(x → 0) sinx/(xcosx + 2sinx)
Hence it is 0/0 form, apply L hospital rule
lim(x → 0) cosx/(-xsinx + cosx + 2cosx)

f(x) = sin x
f’(x) =cosx
f”(x) = -sin x
f”(3pi/2) = -sin(3pi/2)
= -(-1)
=> 1 > 0 (local minima)
f(pi) = sin(pi) = 0
f(2pi) = sin(2pi) = 0
Hence, 0 is the maxima.

Naina Sharma answered |
f(x) = 5x2 +6x + 3
f(10.01) = 5*(10.01)2 + 6*(10.01) + 3
To find (10.01)2
Let p=10, Δp=0.01
y=p2 = 100
y+Δy = (p+ Δp)2 = (10.01)2
Δy = (dy/dp) * Δp
Δy = 2*p* Δx
Δy = 2*10* 0.01
Δy = 20 * 0.01
Δy = 0.2
So, (10.01)2 = y + Δy
= 100.2
So,
f(10.01) = 5*(100.2) + 6*(10.01) + 3
= 501 + 60.06 + 3
= 564.06
f(10.01) = 5*(10.01)2 + 6*(10.01) + 3
To find (10.01)2
Let p=10, Δp=0.01
y=p2 = 100
y+Δy = (p+ Δp)2 = (10.01)2
Δy = (dy/dp) * Δp
Δy = 2*p* Δx
Δy = 2*10* 0.01
Δy = 20 * 0.01
Δy = 0.2
So, (10.01)2 = y + Δy
= 100.2
So,
f(10.01) = 5*(100.2) + 6*(10.01) + 3
= 501 + 60.06 + 3
= 564.06

Rate of increase of radius dr/dt = 2 cm/s
Area of circle A = πr2
dA/dt = π*(2r)*(dr/dt)
= π*(24)*2
= 48π cm2/s
Rate of increase of area is 48π cm2/s (increasing as it is positive).

Rohan Yadav answered |
Given, the rate of increase of radius of the air bubble = 0.25 cm/s
We need to find the rate of increase of volume of the bubble when the radius is 1 cm.
Formula used:
Volume of a sphere = (4/3)πr^3
Differentiating both sides with respect to time t, we get:
dV/dt = 4πr^2(dr/dt)
where dV/dt is the rate of change of volume of the sphere with respect to time t and dr/dt is the rate of change of radius of the sphere with respect to time t.
Substituting the given values, we get:
dV/dt = 4π(1)^2(0.25) = π cm^3/s
Therefore, the rate of increase of volume of the bubble when the radius is 1 cm is π cm^3/s, which is the correct answer.

Aryan Khanna answered |
p’(x) = -24 - 36x
p”(x) = -36
Now, p’(x) = 0 ⇒ x = (-24)/36
x = -⅔
Also, p”(-⅔) = -36 < 0
By the second derivative test, x = -⅔
Therefore, maximum profit = p(-⅔)
= 41 - 24(-⅔) - 18(-⅔)^2
= 41 +16 - 8
⇒ 49
p”(x) = -36
Now, p’(x) = 0 ⇒ x = (-24)/36
x = -⅔
Also, p”(-⅔) = -36 < 0
By the second derivative test, x = -⅔
Therefore, maximum profit = p(-⅔)
= 41 - 24(-⅔) - 18(-⅔)^2
= 41 +16 - 8
⇒ 49

Finding the Real Number that Gives Minimum Value to the Sum
Solution:
Let x be the real number. Then, its reciprocal is 1/x.
The sum of x and its reciprocal is x + 1/x.
To find the minimum value of this sum, we can use the concept of the arithmetic mean and geometric mean inequality.
We know that for any two positive numbers a and b, the arithmetic mean is (a+b)/2 and the geometric mean is √(ab).
The arithmetic mean is always greater than or equal to the geometric mean, i.e., (a+b)/2 ≥ √(ab).
Let's apply this inequality to x and 1/x.
The arithmetic mean of x and 1/x is (x + 1/x)/2.
The geometric mean of x and 1/x is √(x * 1/x) = √1 = 1.
By the arithmetic mean and geometric mean inequality, we have:
(x + 1/x)/2 ≥ √(x * 1/x) = 1
Multiplying both sides by 2 gives:
x + 1/x ≥ 2
Therefore, the minimum value of x + 1/x is 2, which is attained when x=1.
Hence, the real number x that gives minimum value to the sum x + 1/x is 1.

c is called the point of local maxima
If f ′(x) changes sign from positive to negative as x increases through c, that is, if f ′(x) > 0 at every point sufficiently close to and to the left of c, and f ′(x) < 0 at every point sufficiently close to and to the right of c.

Aryan Khanna answered |
Let V be the instantaneous volume of the cube.
dV/dt = 3 cm3/s
Let x be the side of the cube.
V = x3
dV/dt = 3x2 * (dx/dt)
3 = 3*(52)*(dx/dt)
So, dx/dt = 1/25 cm/s
dV/dt = 3 cm3/s
Let x be the side of the cube.
V = x3
dV/dt = 3x2 * (dx/dt)
3 = 3*(52)*(dx/dt)
So, dx/dt = 1/25 cm/s

f(x) = sinx + 1/2cos2x
⇒ f'(x) = cos x – sin2x
Now, f'(x) = 0 gives cosx – sin2x = 0
⇒ cos x (1 – 2 sinx) = 0
⇒ cos x = 0, (1 – 2 sinx) = 0
⇒ cos x = 0, sinx = 1/2
⇒ x = π/6 , π/2
Now, f(0) = 1/2,
f(π/6) = 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4,
f(π/2) = 1 – 1/2 = 1/2
Therefore, the absolute max value = 3/4 and absolute min = 1/2
⇒ f'(x) = cos x – sin2x
Now, f'(x) = 0 gives cosx – sin2x = 0
⇒ cos x (1 – 2 sinx) = 0
⇒ cos x = 0, (1 – 2 sinx) = 0
⇒ cos x = 0, sinx = 1/2
⇒ x = π/6 , π/2
Now, f(0) = 1/2,
f(π/6) = 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4,
f(π/2) = 1 – 1/2 = 1/2
Therefore, the absolute max value = 3/4 and absolute min = 1/2

Gaurav Kumar answered |
two positive numbers x and y are such that x + y = 60.
x + y = 60
⇒ x = 60 – y ...(1)
Let P = xy3
∴ P =(60 – y)y3 = 60y3 – y4
Differentiating both sides with respect to y, we get
For maximum or minimum dP/dy = 0
⇒ 180y2 - 4y3 = 0
⇒ 4y2 (45 - y) = 0
⇒ y = 0 or 45 - y = 0
⇒ y = 0 or y = 45
⇒ y = 45 (∵ y = 0 is not possible)
Thus, the two positive numbers are 15 and 45.
x + y = 60
⇒ x = 60 – y ...(1)
Let P = xy3
∴ P =(60 – y)y3 = 60y3 – y4
Differentiating both sides with respect to y, we get
For maximum or minimum dP/dy = 0
⇒ 180y2 - 4y3 = 0
⇒ 4y2 (45 - y) = 0
⇒ y = 0 or 45 - y = 0
⇒ y = 0 or y = 45
⇒ y = 45 (∵ y = 0 is not possible)
Thus, the two positive numbers are 15 and 45.

Consider the given function.
lim x→0 ((1-x)n −1)/x)
This is 0/0 form.
So, apply L-Hospital rule,
lim x→0 [nx-1x(1-x)n-1 −0)]/1
lim x→ 0(-n(1-x)n-1)
=-n
lim x→0 ((1-x)n −1)/x)
This is 0/0 form.
So, apply L-Hospital rule,
lim x→0 [nx-1x(1-x)n-1 −0)]/1
lim x→ 0(-n(1-x)n-1)
=-n

Explanation:
Continuous functions are those functions which can be drawn without lifting a pen from the paper. In other words, a function is said to be continuous if it has no abrupt changes or jumps in its graph.
Not Necessory Differentiable:
A function is said to be differentiable at a point if its derivative exists at that point. However, a continuous function need not be differentiable at every point. There are many examples of continuous functions that are not differentiable at some points. One such example is the absolute value function, |x|. This function is continuous everywhere, but it is not differentiable at x = 0.
Not Decreasing:
A function is said to be decreasing if its value decreases as the input increases. However, a continuous function need not be decreasing. For example, the function f(x) = x^2 is continuous everywhere, but it is not decreasing.
Decreasing:
Some functions are decreasing. For example, the function f(x) = -x is a decreasing function. However, not all continuous functions are decreasing.
Differentiable:
A function is said to be differentiable if its derivative exists at every point in its domain. However, a continuous function need not be differentiable at every point.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' that every continuous function is not necessarily differentiable.

Only when x = 0 and when x = 0 , y = 1. So, only at (0,1) tangent is parallel to x- axis.

To find the value of the positive integer n that satisfies the given limit, we can start by evaluating the limit as x approaches 0 from the right side.
lim(x→0+) (sin(2nx))/(sin(x)) = 1/2
As x approaches 0, sin(x) approaches 0. Therefore, the denominator of the fraction approaches 0. For the limit to exist and be equal to 1/2, the numerator must also approach 0.
Since sin(2nx) is a periodic function, it will not approach 0 unless 2nx is a multiple of π. In other words, 2nx must be an integer multiple of π. Let's denote this integer multiple as kπ, where k is an integer.
2nx = kπ
Solving for x:
x = (kπ)/(2n)
Since we want to find a positive integer n, we need to find the smallest positive value of n that satisfies the equation above. This means we need to find the smallest positive integer k and n such that kπ/(2n) is equal to 0.
The smallest positive integer k that makes kπ/(2n) equal to 0 is k = 1, since any integer multiple of π divided by any positive integer n will not be equal to 0.
Therefore, the smallest positive integer n that satisfies the given limit is n = 1.
lim(x→0+) (sin(2nx))/(sin(x)) = 1/2
As x approaches 0, sin(x) approaches 0. Therefore, the denominator of the fraction approaches 0. For the limit to exist and be equal to 1/2, the numerator must also approach 0.

lim θ→0[nsinθ/θ]=n−1.....[from graph maximum value of sinx/x=1]
lim θ→0[ntanθ/θ]=n.....[from graph minimum value of tanx/x=1]
Hence, lim x→θ([[nsinθ/θ]+[ntanθ/θ])
= n−1+n =2n−1
lim θ→0[ntanθ/θ]=n.....[from graph minimum value of tanx/x=1]
Hence, lim x→θ([[nsinθ/θ]+[ntanθ/θ])
= n−1+n =2n−1

Finding the Derivative of y=e^(2x)
To find the equation of the tangent to the curve y = e^(2x) at the point (0,1), we first need to find the derivative of the function y = e^(2x) using the power rule of differentiation.
dy/dx = 2e^(2x)
Finding the Equation of the Tangent Line
Now that we have the derivative of the function, we can find the equation of the tangent line to the curve at the point (0,1) using the point-slope form of a line.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where m is the slope of the tangent line and (x1, y1) is the point on the curve where we want to find the tangent line.
Substituting x1 = 0 and y1 = 1, and m = dy/dx evaluated at (0,1), we get
y - 1 = 2e^(2*0)(x - 0)
y - 1 = 2x
Simplifying the equation, we get
y = 2x + 1
Therefore, the equation of the tangent to the curve y = e^(2x) at the point (0,1) is y - 1 = 2x. Option 'B' is the correct answer.

The domain is (0,∞).
Logarithm of zero is not defined. Any number raised to any power can’t be zero.
Logarithm of negative numbers is also not defined. The natural logarithm function ln(x) is defined only for x>0. The complex logarithmic function Log(z) is defined for negative values.

We know from trigonometry that
−1≤sin(1x)<−1 for all x≠0
Important: for limx→0 we don't care what happens when x=0
Since x<2>0 for all x≠0 , we can multiply through by x2 to get
−x2= x2sin(1/x)≤x2
Clearly limx→0(−x2)= 0 and limx→0 x2=0, so, by the squeeze theorem,
lim x→0 x2sin(1/x) = 0
−1≤sin(1x)<−1 for all x≠0
