Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 3

If th e function f ( x) = 2x3 - 9ax2 + 12a2x+1 , whe re a > 0 , attains its maximum and minimum at  p and  q respectively such that p 2 = q , then a equals

Detailed Solution for Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 3

f (x) = 2x3 - 9ax2 + 12a2x +1
f '(x) = 6x2 - 18ax + 12a2; f"(x) = 12x- 18a
For max. or min.
6x2 - 18ax + 12a2 = 0 ⇒ x2 - 3ax + 2a2 = 0
⇒ x = aorx = 2a.At x = a max. and at x = 2a min

∴ p = a and q = 2a

As per question p2 = q 
∴ a = 2a ⇒ a = 2ora = 0
but a > 0, therefore, a = 2.

Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 4

A function y = f (x) h as a second or der der iva tive f "( x) = 6(x- 1). If its graph passes through the point (2,1) and at that point the tangent to the graph is y = 3x – 5, then the function is

Detailed Solution for Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 5

f ''(x) = 6(x - 1). Inegrating, we get
f '( x) = 3x2 -6 x+c
Slope at (2, 1)  = f '(2) = c = 3
[∴ slope of tangent  at (2,1) is 3]
∴ f '( x) = 3x2 - 6 x + 3 = 3(x- 1)2
Inegrating again, we get  f (x) = (x -1)3+D
The curve passes through (2, 1)
⇒1= (2-1)3 +D ⇒ D = 0
∴ f (x) = (x – 1)3

Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 6

The normal to the curve x = a(1 + cosθ), y = a sinθ at ‘θ’ always passes through the fixed point

Detailed Solution for Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 6

∴ The slope of the normal  at θ = tan θ
∴ The equation of the normal at θ is
y -a sin θ = tan θ( x -a -a cosθ)

which always passes through (a, 0)

Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 7

If 2a + 3b + 6c = 0, then at least one root of the equation ax2 + bx +c= 0 lies in the interval

Detailed Solution for Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 7

Let us defin e a function

Being  polynomial, it is continuous and differentiable, also,

∴ f (x) satisfies all condition s of Rolle’s theor em therefore f ’(x) = 0 has a root in (0, 1)

i.e. ax2 + bx +c= 0 has at lease one root in (0, 1)

Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 8

Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 9

The normal to the curve x = a (cos θ + θ sin θ), y = a (sin θ – θ cos θ) at any point θ ' is such that

Detailed Solution for Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 9

x =a (cos θ + θ sinθ

   .....(1)

From equations (1) and (2), we get

Equation of normal at ' θ ' is y – a (sin θ – θ cos θ)

Clearly this is an equation of straight line which is at a constant distance ‘a’ from origin.

Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 11

If the equation   has a positive root x = a , then the equation   has a positive root, which is

Detailed Solution for Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 11

Again f (x) has root a,  ⇒ f (a)=0
∴ f (0) = f (a)
∴ By Roll’s theorem f'(x) = 0 has root between (0, α)

Hence f '(x) has a positive root smaller than a.

Detailed Solution for Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 17



Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 18

How many real solutions does the equation

x7 + 14x5 + 16x3 + 30x – 560 = 0 have?

Detailed Solution for Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 18

Let f (x) = x7 + 14x5 + 16x3 + 30x –560


⇒The curve y = f (x) crosses x-axis only once.
∴ f (x) = 0 has exactly  one real root.

Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 19

Let f (x) = x | x | and g (x) = sin x.

Statement-1 : gof is differentiable at x = 0 and its derivative is continuous at that point.
Statement-2 : gof is twice differentiable at x = 0.

Detailed Solution for Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 19

Given that f (x) = x | x | and g (x) = sin x
So that go f (x) = g (f (x)) = g (x | x |) = sin x | x |

Here we observe L (go f )' (0) =  0  =  R (go f)' (0)
⇒ go f is differentiable at x = 0 and (go f)' is continuous at x = 0

∴ L(go f)''  (0) ≠ R (go f )''  (0)
⇒ go f (x) is not twice differentiable at x = 0.
∴ Statement - 1 is true but statement -2 is false.

Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 20

Given P(x) = x4 + ax3 + bx2 + cx + d such that x = 0 is the only real root of P' (x) = 0. If P(–1) < P(1), then in the interval [ –1, 1] :

Detailed Solution for Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 20

We have P (x) = x4 + ax3 + bx2 + cx + d
⇒ P' (x) = 4x3 + 3ax2 + 2bx + c
But  P' (0) = 0 ⇒ c = 0
∴ P(x) = x4 + ax3 + bx2 + d
As given that P (– 1) < P (a)
⇒ 1 – a + b + d    <   1 + a + b + d ⇒ a > 0
Now P ' (x) = 4x3 + 3ax2 +2bx = x (4x2 + 3ax + 2b)
As P' (x) = 0, there is only one solution x = 0, therefore 4x2 + 3ax + 2b = 0 should not have any real roots i.e. D < 0


∴ P (x) is an increasing function on (0,1) ∴ P (0)  <  P (a)
Similarly we can prove P (x) is decreasing on (– 1, 0)
∴ P (– 1) >  P (0)
So we can conclude that
Max P (x) = P (1) and Min P (x) = P (0) ⇒ P(–1) is not minimum but P (1) is the maximum of  P.

Let a, b ∈ R be such that the function f given by f (x) = ln |x|+ bx2 + ax, x ≠ 0 has extreme values at  x = –1 and x = 2

Statement-1 : f has local maximum at x = –1 and at x = 2.

Detailed Solution for Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 27


          ...(ii)
On solving (i) and (ii) we get  

So maxima at x = –1,2
Hence both the statements are true and statement 2 is a correct explanation for 1.

Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 28

A line is drawn through the point (1,2) to meet the coordinate axes at P and Q such that it forms a triangle OPQ, where O is the origin. If the area of the triangle OPQ is least, then the slope of the line PQ is :

Detailed Solution for Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 28

Equation of a line passing through (x1,y1) having slope m is given by y – y1 = m (x–x1)
Since the line PQ is passing through (1,2) therefore its equation is
(y – 2) = m (x – 1)
where m is the slope of the line PQ.
Now, point P (x,0) will also satisfy the equation of PQ
∴ y –2 = m (x –1)
⇒ 0 – 2 = m (x – 1)




Similarly, point Q (0,y) will satisfy equation of PQ





Test: 35 Year JEE Previous Year Questions: Applications of Derivatives - Question 29

The intercepts on x-axis made by tangents to the curve,  which are parallel to the line y = 2x, are equal to :

∴ equation of tangent is

y – 2 = 2(x – 2) or y + 2 = 2(x + 2)

⇒ x-intercept = ± 1.
