  • a)
    6
  • b)

  • c)
    8
  • d)

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Dr Manju Sen answered
f (x) = x2 - 8x + 12
Function satisfies the condition of Rolle's theorem for (2,6).
We need to find c for which f’(c) = 0
f’(x) = 2x – 8
f’(c) = 2c – 8 = 0
c = 4

When Rolle’s Theorem is verified for f(x) on [a, b] then there exists c such that​
  • a)
    c ε [a, b] such that f'(c) = 0
  • b)
    c ε (a, b) such that f'(c) = 0
  • c)
    c ε (a, b] such that f'(c) = 0
  • d)
    c ε [a, b) such that f'(c) = 0
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer is
B) c ∈ (a, b) such that f'(c) = 0.
Statement for Rolle’s Theorem :
Suppose that a function f(x) is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on the open interval (a,b). Then if f(a)=f(b), then there exists at least one point c in the open interval (a,b) for which f′(c)=0.

  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Tanuja Kapoor answered
y = log5 x = ln x/ln 5 → change of base 
= ln x/ln 5
dy/dx = 1/ln5⋅1/x → 1/ln5 is a constant, so we don't change it
= 1/(x ln 5)

  • a)
    – 1
  • b)
    0
  • c)
    1

Angad Gupta answered
We have to use L'Hopital Rule It is in the form 0/0 So first we have to differentiate it After differentiating we get sinx/2x Then again differentiate it We get cosx/2 and now we get the answer as 1/2

Differentiate sin22 + 1) with respect to θ2
  • a)
    sin(2θ2 + 1)
  • b)
    cos(2θ2 + 2)
  • c)
    sin(2θ2 + 2)
  • d)
    cos(2θ2 + 1)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Gunjan Lakhani answered
y = sin22+1)
v = θ2
dy/d(v) = dydθ/dvdθ
dy/dthη = sin2(V+1)
= 2sin(V+1)⋅cos(V+1)dv/dθ
= 2sin(θ2+1)cos(θ2+1)
= sin2(θ2+1).

A real function f is said to be continuous if it is continuous at every point in …… .​
  • a)
    [-∞,∞]
  • b)
    The range of f
  • c)
    The domain of f
  • d)
    Any interval of real numbers
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Its domain. This means that for any point x in the domain of f, as x approaches a certain value a, the value of f(x) approaches f(a). In other words, there are no sudden jumps or gaps in the graph of f.

More formally, a function f is continuous at a point a if:

1. f(a) is defined (i.e. a is in the domain of f).
2. The limit of f(x) as x approaches a exists (i.e. the left and right-hand limits are equal).
3. The limit of f(x) as x approaches a is equal to f(a).

If a function is continuous at every point in its domain, it is called a continuous function. Continuous functions have many useful properties and are often used in mathematical models and real-world applications.

If 3 sin(xy) + 4 cos (xy) = 5, then   = .....
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
3sinxy + 4cosxy = 5
⇒ 5(3/5 sinxy + 4/5 cosxy) = 5 
⇒ (3/5 sinxy + 4/5 cosxy) = 1
now (3/5)²+(4/5)² = 1
    so let, 3/5 =   cosA
             ⇒ 4/5 = sinA
So , (3/5 sinxy + 4/5 cosxy) = 1
     ⇒ (cosAsinxy + sinAcosxy) = 1
     ⇒ sin(A+xy) = 1
     ⇒ A + xy = 2πk + π/2 (k is any integer)
     ⇒ sin⁻¹(4/5) + xy = 2πk + π/2
     differenciating both sides with respect to x
   0 + xdy/dx + y = 0
      dy/dx = -y/x

Neha Sharma answered
 y
The derivative of y = ef(x)is dy/dx = f'(x)ef(x)
In this case, f(x) = x2 , and the derivative of x2 = 2x
Therefore, f'(x)= 2x,
 dy/dx = 2x

Tejas Verma answered
For continuity: LHL=RHL
at x=2,
LHL: x < 2 ⇒ f(x) = 2*a
RHL: x ≥ 2 ⇒ f(x) = 4
For continuity: LHL = RHL
⇒ 2a = 4 ⇒ a = 2
at x = 0,
LHL: x < 0 ⇒ f(x) = b
RHL: x ≥ 0 ⇒ f(x) = 0 * a
For continuity: LHL = RHL
⇒ b = 0

  • c)
    – sin 4x
  • d)

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Mohit Rajpoot answered
y=sin4x,  and z=cos4x
So by using chain rule
df(x)/dx = dsin4x/dx + dcos4x/dx
=dy4/dy * dy/dx + dz4/dz * dzdx
=dy4/dy * dsinxdx + dz4/dz * dcosx/dx
=4y(4−1)⋅cosx+4z(4−1)⋅(−sinx)
=4sin3xcosx − 4cos3xsinx
=4sinxcosx(sin2x − cos2x)
=2sin2x(−cos2x)
=−2sin2xcos2x
=−sin4x

Sushil Kumar answered

now differentiate y with respect to x,
dy/dx = -{[x d/dx(1+x) - (1+x)dx/dx]}/(1+x2)
= -1/(1+x)2


Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Aryan Khanna answered
y = tan-1(1-cosx)/sinx
y = tan-1{2sin2(x/2)/(2sin(x/2)cos(x/2)}
y = tan-1{tan x/2}
y = x/2  => dy/dx = 1/2

Function f(x) = log x +  is continuous at​

  • c)
    (0,∞)
  • d)

Om Desai answered
  • [-1,1] cannot be continuous interval because log is not defined at 0.
  • The value of x cannot be greater than 1 because then the function will become complex.
  • (0,1) will not be considered because its continuous at 1 as well. Hence D is the correct option.

Sakshi Jain answered
|X| is a continuous function ,which is clear from its graph but at x=0,|X| is not differentiable since it has a sharp edge at x=0 . hence 'd' is correct option.

The value of c for which Lagrange’s theorem f(x) = |x| in the interval [-1, 1] is​
  • a)
    1/2
  • b)
    1
  • c)
    -1/2
  • d)
    non-existent in the interval
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
For LMVT to be valid on a function in an interval, the function should be continuous and differentiable on the interval
Here,
f(x) = |x| , Interval : [-1,1]

For h>0,
f’(0) = 1
For h<0,
f’(0) = -1
So, the LHL and RHL are unequal hence f(x) is not differentiable at x=0.
In [-1,1], there does not exist any value of c for which LMVT is valid.

Taking log both the sides
xlogy = (x-y)loge
Differentiate it with respect to x, we get
x/y dy/dx = logy = loge - xloge dy/dx 
dy/dx = (loge - logy)/(x/y + loge)  
= y(1 - loge)/(x + y)

  • c) 
    Differentiable at x = 1
  • d) 
    Differentiable in (-1, 1)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Asha Choudhury answered
Solution:

To determine the continuity and differentiability of f(x), we need to evaluate left-hand limit, right-hand limit and the derivative of f(x) at every point in the domain of f(x).

Left-hand limit of f(x):
As x approaches 0 from the left, [x] approaches -1 and sin(px) oscillates between -1 and 1. Therefore, f(x) oscillates between -x and x. Thus, the left-hand limit of f(x) as x approaches 0 is:

lim x→0- f(x) = lim x→0- [x sin(px)] = lim x→0- (-x) = 0.

Right-hand limit of f(x):
As x approaches 0 from the right, [x] approaches 0 and sin(px) oscillates between -1 and 1. Therefore, f(x) oscillates between 0 and x. Thus, the right-hand limit of f(x) as x approaches 0 is:

lim x→0+ f(x) = lim x→0+ [x sin(px)] = lim x→0+ (0) = 0.

Since the left-hand limit and right-hand limit are equal, f(x) is continuous at x=0.

Derivative of f(x):
For x≠0, f(x) is piecewise linear with slope sin(px) and jump discontinuity at every integer multiple of 1/p. Therefore, f(x) is not differentiable at these points.

Since f(x) is continuous at x=0 and not differentiable at any other point, the correct answer is option 'A'.

Tejas Verma answered
y = e^(-x)2.................(1)
Put u = (-x)2
du/dx = -2x dx
Differentiating eq(1) y = eu
dy/du = e^u
⇒ dy/dx = (dy/du) * (du/dx)
= (eu) * (-2x)
⇒ - 2xe(-x2)

    Discontinuous at x=1,2
  • b)
    Discontinuous at x=1
  • c)
    Continuous everywhere.

Om Desai answered
Lim f (x) = lim (x-1)(x-2)  at x tend to k 
► So it get    k2-3k+2
► Now f (k) = k2 -3k+2
► So f (x) =f (k) so continous at everywhere

Differentiate sin x3 with respect to x3
  • a)
    sin x3
  • b)
    cos x3
  • c)
    – cos x3
  • d)
    – sin x3
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Nabanita Bajaj answered
Differentiating sin(x^3) with respect to x^3:

To differentiate sin(x^3) with respect to x^3, we can use the chain rule of differentiation. The chain rule states that if we have a composite function, the derivative is equal to the derivative of the outer function multiplied by the derivative of the inner function.

Mathematically, let's represent sin(x^3) as f(g(x)), where g(x) = x^3 and f(x) = sin(x).

- The derivative of g(x) = x^3 with respect to x^3 is simply 1, as x^3 is the inner function.
- The derivative of f(x) = sin(x) with respect to x is cos(x), as it is a standard result from trigonometry.

Now we can apply the chain rule:

df(g(x))/dx = df(g(x))/dg(x) * dg(x)/dx

Substituting the values:

df(g(x))/dg(x) = df(g(x))/dx^3 = cos(x^3)

dg(x)/dx = dg(x)/dx^3 = 1

Therefore,

df(g(x))/dx = cos(x^3) * 1 = cos(x^3)

So, the correct answer is option 'B', which is cos(x^3).
