If the function f (x) = x2– 8x + 12 satisfies the condition of Rolle’s Theorem on (2, 6), find the value of c such that f ‘(c) = 0​
  • a)
    6
  • b)
    4
  • c)
    8
  • d)
    2
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Nikita Singh 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?

Arun Yadav answered
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.
 

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.

 For what values of a and b, f is a continuous function.
  • a)
    a=2,b=0
  • b)
    a=1,b=0
  • c)
    a=0,b=2
  • d)
    a=0,b=0
Correct answer is 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

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

  • a)
  • b)

Function f(x) = log x +  is continuous at​
  • a)
    (0,1)
  • b)
    [-1,1]
  • c)
    (0,∞)
  • d)
    (0,1]
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

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.

  • a)
    e5
  • b)
    e4
  • c)
    e2
  • d)
    e3
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Raghav Bansal answered
lim (x → 0) [((1-3x)+5x)/(1-3x)]1/x
lim (x → 0) [1 + 5x/(1-3x)]1/x
= elim(x → 0) (1 + 5x/(1-3x) - 1) * (1/x) 
= elim(x → 0) (5x/(1-3x)) * (1/x)
= elim(x → 0) (5x/(1-3x))
= e5

Examine the continuity of function 
  • a)
    Discontinuous at x=1,2
  • b)
    Discontinuous at x=1
  • c)
    Continuous everywhere.
  • d)
    Discontinuous at x=2
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

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

The differential coefficient of (log x)tanx is:
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Knowledge Hub answered
y = (lnx)tanx
ln(y) = tanx(ln(lnx))
d(lny)/dx = d(tanx(ln(lnx)))/dx
Using product rule -
(1/y)dy/dx = (secx)2(ln(lnx)) + (1÷xlnx)tanx
dy/dx = [(secx)2(ln(lnx)) + (1÷xlnx)tanx ]×y
dy/dx = [(secx)2(ln(lnx)) + (1÷xlnx)tanx ]×[(lnx)tanx]

    1
  • c)

  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

= 0/0 form
lim(x→0) [(1/(x+1/10) * 1]/1
lim(x→0) [(1/(0+1/10) * 1]/1

  • A:

    zero

  • B:

    1

  • C:

    10

  • D:

The answer is c.

Om Desai answered
lim(x→0) [log10 + log1/10]/x
= [log10 + log10]/0
= 0/0 form
lim(x→0) [(1/(x+1/10) * 1]/1
lim(x→0) [(1/(0+1/10) * 1]/1
= 1/(1/10) => 10

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?

Sai Kulkarni 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.

The value of 
  • a)
    3/5
  • b)
    3/2
  • c)

  • d)

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

The derivate of the function 
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
Given, y = (sinx+cosx)/(sinx−cosx)
∴ dydx = [(sinx−cosx)(cosx−sinx)−(sinx+cosx)(cosx+sinx)]/(sinx−cosx)2 
[by quotient rule]
= [(−sinx−cosx)2 − (sinx+cosx)2]/(sinx−cosx)2
− [(sinx−cosx)2 − (sinx+cosx)2]/(sinx−cosx)2
= − [(sin2x + cos2x − 2sinxcosx + sin2x + cos2x + 2sinxcosx)]/(sinx−cosx)2
= −2/(sinx−cosx)2
= -2/(sin2x + cos2x - 2sinxcosx)
= - 2/(1 - sin2x)

As x → a, f(x) → l, then l is called the……..of the function f(X) which is symbolically written as…….
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
The number L is called the limit of function f(x) as x → a if and only if, for every ε>0 there exists δ>0
which is written as 
lim (x → a) |f(x) − l|
lim (x → a) f(x) = l

What is the point of discontinuity for signum function?
  • a)
    x=1
  • b)
    x=-1
  • c)
    x=0
  • d)
    function is continuous on R
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Arun Khanna answered
It has a jumped discontinuity which means if the function is assigned some value at the point of discontinuity it cannot be made continuous. But the function is definitely discontinuous at x=0. the sgn function is a discontinuous function (isolated/jump discontinuity).

The differential coefficent 
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Mihir Yadav answered
 d(xy)=d(e(y⋅log(x)))
=e^(y⋅log(x))d(y⋅log(x))
=(xy)(dy⋅log(x) + y⋅d(log(x))
=(xy
d(yx) = (yx)(log(y)dx + x/ydy). 
Since  d(xy) = d(yx) , and simplifying by  xy = yx , we get
log(y)dx + x/ydy = log(x)dy + y/xdx. 
Removing the denominators leads to:
xylog(y)dx + x2dy = xylog(x)dy + y2dx 
(xylog(y) − y2)dx = (xylog(x) − x2)dy 
dy/dx = (xylog(y)−y2)/(xy⋅log(x)−x2)

If the right and left hand limits coincide, we call that common value as the limit of f(x) at x = a and denote it by
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
If the right-hand and left-hand limits coincide, we say the common value as the limit of f(x) at x = a and denote it by limx→a f(x) = l
  • If limx→a- f(x) is the expected value of f at x = a given the values of ‘f’ near x to the left of a. This value is known as the left-hand limit of ‘f’ at a.
  • If limx→a+ f(x) is the expected value of f at x = a given the values of ‘f’ near x to the right of a. This value is known as the right-hand limit of f(x) at a.
