Find the area of the triangle shaped lawn whose base and heights are 12m.,7m. respectively. Find the total cost of laying lawn, if cost of grass is ₹ 300 per Sq. m.

Answer»

Base of the triangle shaped lawn = 12 m. 

Height = 7 m. 

Area of triangle shaped lawn 1

\(\frac {1}2\) × b × h

\(\frac {1}2\) × 12 × 7

= 6 × 7 = 42 Sq.m

Cost of grass for laying in lawn per 1 

Sq.m = ₹ 300 

Cost of grass for laying in lawn for 42 

Sq.m = ₹ 300 × 42 = ₹ 12,600

31.

If A and B be the points (3, 4, 5) and (-1, 3, -7) respectively, find the equation of the set of points P such that PA2  +PB2  = k2 where k is constant.

Answer»

Given points are A (3, 4, 5) and B (-1, 3, -7). 

Let P = (x, y, z) 

Given: PA2  + PB2  = k2 

⇒ (x - 3)2 + (y - 4)2  + (z - 5)2  +(x + 1)2  + (y – 3)2  + (z + 7)2  =k2 

⇒ 2x1  – 6x + 9 + y2  -8y + 16 + z2  -10z + 25 + x2  + 2x + 1 + y2  – 6y + 9 + z2  +14z + 49 = k2

⇒ 2x2  + 2y2  + 2z2  – 4x – 14y + 4z +109 = k2 

∴ Required equations of the set of points P is, 

2x2  + 2y2  +2z2 – 4x – 14y + 4z + 109 – k2  =0

∫1/x√(x2 - 1) dx = (a) tan-1 x (b) sin-1 x (c) sec-1 x (d) none

Answer»

Answer is (c) sec-1

33.

Solve : (dy/dx) - y tan x = - y sec2 x

Answer»

(dy/dx) - y.tan x = - y sec2 x

(dy/dx) + y sec2x - y tan x = 0

(dy/dx) + (sec2x - tan x)y = 0

(dy/dx) = -(sec2 x - tan x)y

(dy/y) = (tan x - sec2 x)dx

Integrating both sides,

∫dy/dx = ∫(tan x - sec2 x) dx

log y = log|sec x| - tan x + c

34.

If y = tan-1(2x/(1 - x2)), find dy/dx

Answer»

Here, y = tan-1(2x/(1 - x2)) = 2tan-1 x

[∵ tan-1(2x/(1 - x2)) = 2tan-1 x]

Differentiating w.r.t. x, we have

dy/dx = 2(d(tan-1 x)/dx) = 2 x (1/(1 + x2))

35.

Find the point of local maxima or local minima or local minima and the corresponding local maximum and minimum values of each of the following functions:f(x) = x3 - 6x2+9x+15

Answer»

local max. value is 19 at x = 1 and local min. value is 15 at x = 3

F’(x) = 3x- 12x+9 = 0

⇒ 3(x -3)(x -1) = 0

⇒ x = 3,1

F’’(x) = 6x -12

F’’(3) = 18 -12 = 6>0, 3 is the of local min.

F’’(1)<0, 1 is the point of local max.

F(3) = 15

F(1) = 19

36.

Find the point of local maxima or local minima or local minima and the corresponding local maximum and minimum values of each of the following functions:f(x) = (x -1)(x+2)2

Answer»

local max. value is 0 at x = −2 and local min. value is −4 at x = 0

f’(x) = (x -1)2(x+2)+(x+2)= 0

x = 0,-2

f’’(0)>0, 0 is the point of local min.

f’’(-2)<0, -2 is the point of local max.

f(0) = -4

f(-2) = 0

37.

Find the point of local maxima or local minima or local minima and the corresponding local maximum and minimum values of each of the following functions:f(x) = -(x -1)3(x+1)2

Answer»

local max. value is 0 at each of the points x = 1 and x = −1 and local min. value is -3456/3125 at x = -1/5

F’(x) = -(x -1)32(x+1) - 3(x -1)2(x+1)= 0

⇒ x = 1, -1, -1/5

Since, f || (1) and f || (-1)<0, 1 and -1 are the point of local max.

F || (-1/5)>0, -1/5 is the point of local min.

F(1) = f(-1) = 0

Also, f(-1/5) = -3456/3125

38.

Find the point of local maxima or local minima or local minima and the corresponding local maximum and minimum values of each of the following functions:f(x) = x4 - 62x2+120x+9

Answer»

local max. value is 68 at x = 1 and local min. values are−1647 at x = −6 and −316 at x = 5

F’(x) = 4x- 124x+120 = 0

⇒ 4(x- 31x+30) = 0

For x = 1, the given eq is 0

x -1 is a factor,

4(x -1)(x+6)(x -5) = 0

⇒ X = 1, -6,5

F’’(1))<0, 1 is the point of max.

F’’(-6) and f ’’(5) 0, -6 and 5 are point of min.

F(1) = 68

F(-6) = -1647

F(5) = -316

39.

f(x) = 2x/log x is increasing inA. (0, 1)B. (1, e)C. (e, ∞)D. (-∞, e)

Answer»

Answer is : C. (e, ∞)

⇒ f(x) = \(\frac{2x}{log\,x}\)

⇒ f'(x) = \(\frac{2.log\,x-2}{log^2x}\)

Put f’(x) = 0

We get

⇒ \(\frac{2.log\,x-2}{log^2x}\) = 0

⇒ 2.log x = 2

log x = 1

⇒ x = e

We only have one critical point

So, we can directly say x > e f(x) would be increasing

∴ f(x) will be increasing in (e, ∞)

Prove that the function f defined by f(x) = x2 - x +1 is neither increasing nor decreasing in (- 1, 1). Hence find the intervals in which f(x) is : (i) strictly increasing(ii) strictly decreasing.

Answer»

f'(x) = 2x - 1

f'(x) > 0, ∀ x ∈ (1/2 ,1)

f'(x) < 0 , ∀ x ∈ (-1, 1/2)

. .. f(x) is neither increasing nor decreasing in (-1, 1)

f(x) is strictly increasing on (1/2 , 1)

and f(x) is strictly decreasing on (-1, 1/2).

41.

Prove that the function f(x) = loga x is strictly increasing on] 0, ∞ [when a &gt; 1 and strictly decreasing on] 0, ∞ [ when 0 &lt; a &lt; 1.

Answer»

It is given that

f(x) = loga x

(a) By differentiating w.r.t x

f’(x) = 1/x log a > 0 for x ∈ (0, ∞) and a > 1

Here f’(x) > 0 for x ∈ (0, ∞) and a > 1

Therefore, f’(x) is strictly increasing function.

(b) We know that

1/x log a < 0 for x ∈ (0, ∞) where 0 < a < 1

So f’(x) < 0

Therefore, f’(x) is strictly decreasing on (0, ∞) and 0 < a < 1.

42.

Prove that the function f(x) = loge x is strictly increasing on] 0, ∞ [.

Answer»

It is given that

f(x) = loge x

By differentiating w.r.t x

f’(x) = 1/x

Here 1/x > 0 for x ∈ (0, ∞)

Similarly f’(x) > 0 for x ∈ (0, ∞) where f’(x) is strictly increasing on] 0, ∞ [.

43.

Prove that the function f(x) = e2x is strictly increasing on R.

Answer»

Domain of the function is R

finding derivative i.e f’(x) = 2ex

As we know e x is strictly increasing its domain

f’(x) > 0

hence f(x) is strictly increasing in its domain

Evaluate of the following:tan-1(tan 1)

Answer»

As, tan-1(tan x) = x

Provided x ∈ \((\frac{-\pi}2,\frac{\pi}2)\)

⇒ tan-1(tan 1) = 1

49.

Evaluate of the following:tan-1(tan 2)

Answer»

As, tan-1(tan x) = x

Provided x ∈ \((\frac{-\pi}2,\frac{\pi}2)\)

Here our x is 2 which does not belong to our range

We know tan (π - θ) = -tan(θ)

\(\therefore\) tan (θ - π) = tan(θ)

\(\therefore\) tan (2 - π) = tan(2)

Now 2 - π is in the given range

\(\therefore\) tan-1(tan 2) = 2 - π
