If Rolle's theorem for f(x) = ex (sin x - cos x) is verified on 
then the value of c is
then the value of c is Correct Answer :- d
Explanation : Thus, all the conditions of Rolle’s theorem are satisfied.
Now, we have to show that, there exists a point c ∈ (π/4 , 5π/4) such that f'(c) = 0.
⇒ ex(sinx – cosx) + ex(cosx + sinx) = 0
⇒ (sinx – cosx) + (cosx + sinx) = 0
⇒ 2sinx = 0 ⇒ sinx = 0
⇒ c = π ∈ (π/4 , 5π/4)

Explanation : Suppose we want to find the differentiation of a function of x, say f(x). We can write it as: df/dx
Now, if f(x) is itself is not a function of x, but of another function of x, suppose g. That is, we have f[g(x)], we have to use the chain rule of differentiation.
df/dx = df/dg × dg/dx
In the given question, it is clearly observable that
f (x)=sin(x) and g(x)=2sin-1(x)
Thus the answer is as follows:
cos(2sin-1(x)) × 2/(√1−x2)
Correct Answer :- a
Explanation : Suppose we want to find the differentiation of a function of x, say f(x). We can write it as: df/dx
Now, if f(x) is itself is not a function of x, but of another function of x, suppose g. That is, we have f[g(x)], we have to use the chain rule of differentiation.
df/dx = df/dg × dg/dx
In the given question, it is clearly observable that
f (x)=sin(x) and g(x)=2sin-1(x)
Thus the answer is as follows:
cos(2sin-1(x)) × 2/(√1−x2)
then the value of x is
