Select the appropriate option from the given alternatives.Suppose f(x) is the derivative of g(x) and g(x) is the derivative of h(x). If h(x) = a sin x + b cos x + c, then f(x) + h(x) = (A) 0 (B) c (C) -c (D) -2(a sin x + b cos x)

Answer»

Correct option is:(B) c

h(x) = a sin x + b cos x + c 

Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get 

h'(x) = a cos x – b sin x = g(x) …..[given] 

Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get 

g'(x) = -a sin x – b cos x = f(x) …..[given] 

∴ f(x) + h(x) = -a sin x – b cos x + a sin x + b cos x + c 

∴ f(x) + h(x) = c

If `x^m y^n=(x+y)^(m+n),p rov et h a t(dy)/(dx)=y/xdot`

Answer» `"We have "x^(m)y^(n)=(x+y)^(m+n).`
Taking log on both sides, we get m log x + n log y = (m+n) log (x+y)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t.x, we get
`m(1)/(x)+n(1)/(y)(dy)/(dx)=(m+n d)/(x+y dx)(x+y)`
`"or "(m)/(x)+(n)/(y)(dy)/(dx)=(m+n)/(x+y)(1+(dy)/(dx))`

If `x=a^sqrt[sin^-1t]` and `y=a^sqrt[cos^-1t]`, then show that `[dy]/[dx]=-y/x`

Answer» We have
`x^(2)=a^(sin^(-1)t) and y^(2)=a^(cos^(-1)t)`
`rArr2x(dx)/(dt)=a^(sin^(-1)t).(1)/(sqrt(1-t^(2)))and2y(dy)/(dt)=a^(cos^(-1)t).((-1))/(sqrt(1-t^(2)))`
`rArr(2y)/(2x).((dy//dt))/((dx//dt))=(-a^(cos^(-1)t))/(sqrt(1=t^(2)))xx(sqrt(1-t^(2)))/(a^(sin^(-1)t))`
`rArr(y)/(x).(dy)/(dx)=(a^(cos^(-1)t))/(a^(sin^(-1)t))=-(y^(2))/(x^(2))`
`rArr(dy)/(dx)=(-y)/(x)" "["on dividing both sides by "(y)/(x)].`
Hence,`(dy)/(dx)=(-y)/(x).`

Answer» y=a sin x + b cos x
Differentiating with respect to x, we get
`(dy)/(dx)=a cos x - b sin x`
`"Now, "((dy)/(dx))^(2)=(a cos x - b sin x)^(2)`
`=a^(2)cos^(2)x+b^(2)sin^(2)x-2ab sin x cos x`
`"and "y^(2)=(a sin x + b cos x)^(2)`
`a^(2)sin^(2) x +b^(2)cos^(2) x +2ab sin x cos x`
`"So, "((dy)/(dx))^(2)+y^(2)=a^(2)(sin^(2)x + cos^(2)x)+b^(2)(sin^(2)x+ cos^(2)x)`
`=(a^(2)+b^(2))=` constant

Answer» `y=(1//2^(n-1))cos (n cos^(-1)x)`
`therefore" "(dy)/(dx)=-(1)/(2^(n-1))sin(n cos^(-1)x)[(-n)/sqrt((1-x^(2)))]`
`"or "(1-x^(2))((dy)/(dx))^(2)=(n^(2))/(2^(2n-2))sin^(2)(n cos^(-1)x)`
`=(n^(2))/(2^(2n-2))[1-cos^(2)(n cos^(-1)x)]`
`=n^(2)[(1)/(2^(2n-2))-y^(2)]`
Differentiating both sides w.r.t x, we get
`(1-x^(2))2(dy)/(dx)(d^(2)y)/(dx^(2))-2x((dy)/dx)^(2)=-2n^(2)y(dy)/(dx)`
`"or "(1-x^(2))(d^(2)y)/(dx^(2))-x(dy)/(dx)+n^(2)y=0`

`Ab=(2)/(sqrt((a-b)(a+b)))sqrt((a-b)/(a+b))=(2)/(a+b)`
`(dy)/(dx)=(ABsec^(2)""(x)/(2)xx(1)/(2))/(1+B^(2)tan^(2)""(x)/(2))`
`=(1)/(a+b).(a+b)/((a+b)cos^(2)""(x)/(2)+(a-b)sin^(2)""(x)/(2))`

If x=a (cos t + t sin t) and y=a ( sin t- t cos t), find `(d^(2)y)/(dx^(2))`

Answer» It is given that x =a (cos t + t sin t) and
y=a (sin t - t cos t). Therefore,
`(dx)/(dt)=a[-sin t+ sin t + t cos t]= at cos t`
`(dy)/(dt)=a [ cos t -{cos t - t sin t} ] = at sin t`
`therefore" "(dy)/(dx)=(((dy)/(dt)))/(((dx)/(dt)))=(at sin t)/(at cos t)= tan t`
`"Then, "(d^(2)y)/(dx^(2))=(d)/(dx)((dy)/(dx))=(d)/(dx)(tan t)`
`=(d)/(dt) (tan t)(dt)/(dx)`
`=sec^(2) t. (dt)/(dx)`
`sec^(2)t. (1)/(at cos t)`

Taking log on both sides, we get
`log cos""(x)/(2)+log cos""(x)/(4)+log cos""(x)/(8)...+...=log sin x-log x`
Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get
`-(1)/(2)(sin""(x)/(2))/(cos""(x)/(2))-(1)/(4)(sin""(x)/(4))/(cos""(x)/(4))-(1)/(8)(sin""(x)/(8))/(cos""(x)/(8))...=(cos x)/(sin x)-(1)/(x)`
`"or "-(1)/(2)tan""(x)/(2)-(1)/(4)tan""(x)/(4)-(1)/(8)tan"(x)/(8)-...=cot x -(1)/(x)`

Answer» As x = cosec theta - sin theta, we have
`x^(2)+4=(cosec theta- sin theta)^(2)+4=(cosec theta + sin theta)^(2)" (1)"`
`"and "y^(2)+4=(cosec^(n)theta - sin^(n)theta)^(2)+4 = (cosec^(n)theta+ sin^(n)theta)^(2)" (2)"`
Now,
`(dy)/(dx)=(((dy)/(d""theta)))/(((dx)/(d""theta)))=(n(cosec^(n-1)theta)(-cosec theta cot theta)-n sin^(n-1)theta cos theta)/(-cosec theta cot theta- cos theta)`
`=(n(cosec^(n)thetacot theta +sin^(n-1)theta cos theta))/((cosec theta cot theta +cos theta))`
`(ncot theta (cosec^(n)theta + sin^(n)theta))/(cot theta (cosec theta +sin theta))`
`=(n(cosec^(n)theta+sin^(n)theta))/((cosec theta +sin theta))=(nsqrt(y^(2)+4))/(sqrt(x^(2)+4))" [from (1) and (2) ]"`

Taking log on both sides, we get
`log cos""(x)/(2)+log cos""(x)/(4)+log cos""(x)/(8)...+...=log sin x-log x`
Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get
`-(1)/(2)(sin""(x)/(2))/(cos""(x)/(2))-(1)/(4)(sin""(x)/(4))/(cos""(x)/(4))-(1)/(8)(sin""(x)/(8))/(cos""(x)/(8))...=(cos x)/(sin x)-(1)/(x)`

Differentiate:\(\frac{d}{d\theta}(cos\theta-sin\theta)^2\)

Answer»

\(\frac{d}{d\theta}(cos\theta-sin\theta)^2\) = 2(cos θ - sin θ) \(\frac{d}{d\theta}(cos\theta-sin\theta)\) 

 = 2(cos θ - sin θ) (-sinθ - cos θ)

 = -2(cos θ - sin θ) (cos θ - sin θ)

= -2(cos θ - sin θ) (cos θ - sin θ)

 = -2 (cos2θ - sin2θ)

 = -2 cos 2θ

Differentiate w.r.t. x: `(i)tan^(-1)((cosx)/(1+sinx))" "(ii)tan^(-1)(secx+tanx)`

Answer» Let `y=tan^(-1)((cos+1)/(1+sinx))=tan^(-1){(sin((pi)/(2)-x))/(1+cos((pi)/(2)-x))}`
`=tan^(-1){(2sin((pi)/(4)-(x)/(2))cos((pi)/(4)-(x)/(2)))/(2cos^(2)((pi)/(4)-(x)/(2))}}`
`tan^(-1){tan((pi)/(4)-(x)/(2))}=((pi)/(4)-(x)/(2)).`
`thereforey=((pi)/(4)-(x)/(2)).`
Hence,`(dy)/(dx)=(d)/(dx)((pi)/(4)-(x)/(2))=(d)/(dx)((pi)/(4))-(d)/(dx)((x)/(2))=(0-(1)/(2))=(-1)/(2).`
(ii) Let `y=tan^(-1)(sec x+tanx)`
`=tan^(-1)((1)/(cosx)+(sinx)/(cosx))=tan^(-1)((1+sinx)/(cosx))`
`=tan^(-1){(1-cos((pi)/(2)+x))/(sin((pi)/(2)+x))}`
`{because cos ((pi)/(2)+x)=-sinx,sin((pi)/(2)+x)=cosx}`
`=tan^(-1){(2sin^(2)((pi)/(4)+(x)/(2)))/(2sin((pi)/(4)+(x)/(2))cos((pi)/(4)+(x)/(2)))}`
`=tan^(-1){tan((pi)/(4)+(x)/(2))}=((pi)/(4)+(x)/(2)).`
`therefore y=((pi)/(4)+(x)/(2)).`
Hence, `(dy)/(dx)=(d)/(dx)((pi)/(4)+(x)/(2))=(d)/(dx)((pi)/(4))+(d)/(dx)((x)/(2))=(0+(1)/(2))=(1)/(2).`

`dy/dx = -(4cosec^2 x)/sqrtx - cot x/(2x sqrtx) `
ii) `y= e^x log sqrtx tan x`
`y = e^x 1/2 log x tan x`
`y= 1/2[ e^x log x tan x]`
`dy/dx = 1/2[e^x log x * tan x + e^x 1/x tan x + e^x log x * sec^2 x]`
`= e^x/2[ log x*tan x + tanx/x + log x*sec^2 x]`

Differentiate `{x^(tanx)+sqrt((x^(2)+1)/(x))}` w.r.t. x.

Answer» Let `y=u+v`, where `y=x^(tanx) and v=sqrt((x^(2)+1)/(x)).`
Now, `u=x^(tanx)`
`rArr logu=(tanx)(logx)`
`rArr(1)/(u).(du)/(dx)=(tanx).(d)/(dx)(logx)+(logx).(d)/(dx)(tanx)`
`" [differentiating w.r.t. x]"`
`=(tanx).(1)/(x)+(logx)sec^(2)x`
`rArr(du)/(dx)=u.[(tanx)/(x)+(logx)sec^(2)x]`
`rArr(du)/(dx)=x^(tanx).{(tanx)/(x)+(logx)sec^(2)x}." ...(i)"`
And, `v=sqrt((x^(2)+1)/(x))`
`rArr log v=(1)/(2).{log (x^(2)+1)-logx}`
`rArr(1)/(v).(dv)/(dx)=(1)/(2).{(2x)/((x^(2)+1))-(1)/(x)}" [differentiating w.r.t. x]"`
`rArr(dv)/(dx)=(v)/(2).{(2x^(2)-(x^(2)+1))/(x(x^(2)+1))}`
`rArr(dv)/(dx)=(1)/(2)sqrt((x^(2)+1)/(x)).{(x^(2)-1)/(x(x^(2)+1))}." ...(ii)"`
`therefore y=u+v`
`rArr(dy)/(dx)=(du)/(dx)+(dv)/(dx)`

`rArr(dy)/(dx)=x^(tanx).{(tanx)/(x)+(logx)sec^(2)x}+(1)/(2).sqrt((x^(2)+1)/(x)).{((x^(2)-1))/(x(x^(2)+1))}.`

Differentiate `tan^(-1)((sqrt(1+x^(2))-1)/(x))` w.r.t. `tan^(-1)x.`

Answer» Let `u=tan^(-1)((sqrt(1+x^(2))-1)/(x)) and v=tan^(-1)x`
Now, `v=tan^(-1)x rArr x = tanv.`
Putting `x=tan v,` we get
`u=tan^(-1){(sqrt(1+tan^(2)v)-1)/(tanv)}=tan^(-1)((secv-1)/(tanv))`
`=tan^(-1)((1-cosv)/(sinv))=tan^(-1){(2sin^(2)(v//2))/(2sin(v//2)cos(v//2))}`
`=tan^(-1){tan.(v)/(2)}=(v)/(2).`
`thereforeu=(v)/(2)rArr(du)/(dv)=(1)/(2).`

Differentiate `(e^(x^(2))tan^(-1)x)/(sqrt(1+x^(2)))` w.r.t. x.

Answer» Let `y=(e^(x^(2))tan^(-1)x)/(sqrt(1+x^(2)))." ...(i)"`
Taking logarithm on both sides of (i), we get
`logy=x^(2)+log(tan^(-1)x)-(1)/(2)log (1+x^(2))." …(ii)"`
On differentiating both sides of (ii) w.r.t. x, we get
`(1)/(y).(dy)/(dx)=2x+(1)/(tan^(-1)x).(1)/((1+x^(2)))-(1)/(2).(2x)/((1+x^(2))).`
`rArr(dy)/(dx)=y[2x+(1)/((1+x^(2))tan^(-1)x)-(x)/((1+x^(2)))]`
`=(e^(x^(2))tan^-1)/(sqrt(1+x^(2))).[2x+(1)/((1+x^(2))tan^(-1)x)-(x)/((1+x^(2)))].`

Differentiate `tan^(-1){(sqrt(1+x^(2))-1)/(x)}` w.r.t. x.

Answer» Let `y=tan^(-1){(sqrt(1+x^(2))-1)/(x)}`
Putting `x=tan theta`, we get
`y=tan^(-1){(sqrt(1+tan^(2)theta-1))/(tan theta)}=tan^(-1){(sec theta-1)/(tan theta)}`
`=tan^(-1){(((1)/(cos theta)-1))/(sin theta).cos theta}=tan^(=1)((1-cos theta)/(sin theta))`
`=tan^(-1){(2sin^(2)(theta//2))/(2sin(theta//2)cos(theta//2))}=tan^(-1){"tan"(theta)/(2)}`
`=(theta)/(2)=(1)/(2)tan^(-1)x.`
`therefore y=(1)/(2)tan^(-1)x`
`rArr(dy)/(dx)=(1)/(2).(d)/(dx)(tan^(-1)x)=(1)/(2(1+x^(2))).`

Suppose `f(x)=e^(ax) + e^(bx)`, where `a!=b`, and that `fprimeprime(x)-2fprime(x)-15f(x)=0` for all `x`. Then the value of `ab` is equal to:A. 25B. 9C. -15D. -9

Answer» `(a^(2)-2a-15)e^(ax)+(b^(2)-2b-15)e^(bx)=0`
`"or "(a^(2)-2a-15)=0 and b^(2)-2b-15=0`
`"or "(a-5)(a+3)=0 and (b-5)(b+3)=0`
`i.e., a=5 or -3 and b=5 or -3`
`therefore" "aneb`
Hence, `a=5 and b=-3 or a =-3 and b=5`
`"or "ab=-15`

Differentiate `sqrt(cot^(-1)sqrtx)`, w.r.t. x.

Answer» Let `y=sqrt(cot^(-1)sqrtx)`.
Putting `sqrtx=t and cot^(-1)sqrtx=cot^(-1)sqrtx=u`, we get
`y=sqrtu,` where `u=cot^(-1)t and t=sqrtx`.
Now, `y=sqrtu rArr (dy)/(du)=(1)/(2)u^(-1//2)=(1)/(2sqrtu),`
`u=cot^(-1)t rArr (du)/(dt)=(-1)/((1+t^(2)))`.
And, `t=sqrtx rArr (dt)/(dx)=(1)/(2)x^(-1//2)=(1)/(2sqrtx)`.
`therefore(dy)/(dx)=((dy)/(du)xx(du)/(dt)xx(dt)/(dx))=(-1)/(4sqrtu(1+t^(2))sqrtx)`
`" "=(-1)/(4(sqrt(cot^(-1)t))(1+t^(2))sqrtx)" "[because u=cot^(-1)t]`
`" "=(-1)/(4(sqrt(cot^(-1)sqrtx))(1+x)sqrtx)" "[because t=sqrtx].`

Differentiate `tan^(-1)((sqrt(1+x^(2))+1)/(x))` w.r.t. x.

Answer» Let `y=tan^(-1)((sqrt(1+x^(2))+1)/(x)).`
Putting `x=tan theta,` we get
`y=tan^(-1)((sec theta+1)/(tan theta))=tan^(-1)((1+costheta)/(sin theta))`
`=tan^(-1){(2cos^(2)(theta//2))/(2sin(theta//2)cos(theta//2))}=tan^(-1){cot.(theta)/(2)}`
`=tan^(-1){tan((pi)/(2)-(theta)/(2))}=((pi)/(2)-(theta)/(2))=(pi)/(2)-(1)/(2)tan^(-1)x.`
`therefore(dy)/(dx)=(1)/(2(1+x^(2))).`
Hence, `(d)/(dx){tan^(-1)((sqrt(1+x^(2))+1)/(x))}=(-1)/(2(1+x^(2)))`
449.
