Question No: 1

We have, f(x)=
{ mx+1, if x≤π2sinx+n, if x>π2 , is continuous

at x=π2

[( ) ]
− +
∴ L.H.L. =limx→π2 (mx+1)=limh→0 m π2−h +1 =mπ2+1 and R.H.L. =limx→π2 (sinx+n)=li

mh→0 [ ( ) ]
sin π2+h +n =limh→0[cosh+n]=L+n.

We must have LH.L. = R.H.L.

⇒mπ2+1=n+1∴n=mπ2

Let y=e−x . Using chain rule, we have

dydx=e−x⋅ddx(−x)=−e−x
Question No: 4

We have f(x)=x2sin1x , where x≠0

Since f(x) is continuous at x=0 ,
We must have limx→0x2sin1x=f(0)
∴f(0)=0× [an oscillating value between −1 and 1 ]
∴f(0)=0

Question No: 10
Let y=sin(logx) . Using chain rule, we have
dydx=cos(logx)⋅ddx(logx)=cos(logx)x

Question No: 11

Let y= √ (
(x−3) x2+4)(3x2+4x+5)
Taking logarithm on both sides, we have

[ ( ) (
logy=12 log(x−3)+log x2+4 −log 3x2+4x+5 )]

Question No: 13

Given that ex+ey=ex+y . Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x , we have

ex+eydydx=ex+y (1+dydx )
or

(ey−ex+y)dydx=ex+y−ex,
x+y−exey−ex+y ex+ey−exey−ex−ey
which implies that dydx=e = =−ey−x

Question No: 14

We have f(x)=
{ x|x|+2x2,x≠0k,x=0

2 0 0 0 2 2
At x=0, L.H.L. =limx→0−x|x|+2x =limh→0( −h)| −h|+2( −h) =limh→0−hh+2h =limh→0−11+2h
2 0 0 0 2 2
=−1 R.H.L =limx→04x|x|+2x =limh→0 +h| +h|+2( +h) =limh→0hh+2h =limh→011+2h=1

Since, L.H.L. ≠ R.H.L. for any value of k .

Hence, f(x) is discontinuous at x=0 regardless the choice of k .
Question No: 15

Let f(x)=sin−1
( 2x+11+4x
) . To find the domain of this function we need to

x+11+4x
find all x such that −1≤2 ≤1 . Since the quantity in the middle is always
positive,
x+11+4x
we need to find all x such that 2 ≤1 , i.e., all x such that 2x+1≤1+4x
x
. We may rewrite this as 2≤12 +2x which is true for all x . Hence the

function is defined at every real number. By putting 2x=tanθ , this function may be
rewritten as

f(x)=sin−1
[
2x+11+4x
] [
=sin−1 ( )
2x⋅21+ 2x

Question No: 16
The left hand limit of f at x=0 is given by
1x 1x 0 0
limx→0−f(x)=limx→0−e −1e +1= −1 +1=−1
Similarly,
1x
0 0 1x 1x 0 1x 0 −1x −1x 0 0
limx→ +f(x)=limx→ +e −1e +1=limx→ +e 1+1e =limx→ +1−e 1+e =1− 1+ =1
Thus limx→ −f(x)≠limf(x), therefore, limx→ +f(x) does not exist. Hence f is discontinuous at x=0.

Question No: 17

We have, xm×yn=(x+y)m+n

( ) [ ]
∴log xm×yn =log (x+y)m+n ⇒mlogx+nlogy=(m+n)log(x+y)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x,

m1x+n1y⋅dydx=(m+n)1x+y ( 1+dydx )
⇒mx−m+nx+y= ( m+nx+y−ny
) dydx⇒my−nxx(x+y)=

Differentiating above w.r.t. x, we get

Question No: 18

Let f(x)=cos(√x)
Also, let u(x)=√x
And, v(t)=cost
Then, (vou)(x)=v(u(x))
=v(√x)=cos√x=f(x)
Clearly, f is a composite function of two functions, u and v, such that
t=u(x)=√x

( )
Then, dtdx=ddx(√x)=ddx x2 =12x
12

=12√x
And, dvdt=ddt(cost)=−sint
=−sin(√x)
By using chain rule, we obtain
dtdx=dvdt⋅dtdx=−sin(√x)⋅12√x=−12√xsin(√x)=−sin(√x)2√x
