Answer.

Question.

Answer. f (x) = sin 2x – cos 2x
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
f«(x) = 2 cos 2x + 2 sin 2x

Short Answer Type Questions-II
Question. Differentiate the following function w.r.t. x ; xsin x + (sin x)cos x
Answer.

Question.

Answer. (x2 + y2)2 = xy
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

Question. Find the value of ‘a’ for which the function f defined as

Answer.


Question. Find the values of a and b such that the following function f (x) is a continuous function :

Answer.


Since f(x) is continuous.
∴ L.H.L. = R.H.L. = f (10)
10a + b = 21 = 21
10a + b = 21
10a + 5 – 2a = 21 [From (i)
8a = 21 – 5 = 16
∴ a = 2
Putting the value of a in (i), we get
b = 5 – 2(2) = 5 – 4 = 1
∴ a = 2, b = 1
Question.

Answer. sin y = x sin (a + y)


Question. If (cos x)y = (sin y)x, find dy/dx
Answer. (cos x)y = (sin y)x
Taking log on both sides, we get
∴ log (cos x) = x log (sin y)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

Question.

Answer.

Question.

Answer. y = ex(sin x + cos x) …(i)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

Question.

Answer.

Question. Show that the function f (x) defined by f (x)

Answer.



Question. If y = (log x)x + (x)cos x, find dy/dx
Answer. y = (log x)x + (x)cos x
Let y = A + B

Answer. Case I : At x = – 3

Question.

Answer.

Question.

Answer.

Question. If x = 2 cos θ – cos 2θ and y = 2 sin θ – sin 2θ, then prove that

Answer.


Question. If y = (sin x)x + sin–1 √x , then find.
Answer. Let A = (sin x)x
Taking log on both sides,
log A = x log sin x
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we have

Question. For what value of k is the function defined by

continuous at x = 0? Also write whether the function is continuous at x = 1.
Answer.

Question. Find the values of a and b such that the function defined as follows is continuous :

Answer.


Question. If x = cos θ and y = sin3 θ, then prove that

Answer.



Question. Find the value of the constant k so that the function f, defined below, is continuous at x = 0, where

Answer.


Question. Find the value of k, for which the function f defined below is continuous :

Answer.



Question. If the function f (x), defined as

Answer.

f (x) is continuous at x = 1
∴ L.H.L. = R.H.L. = f (1)
5a – 2b = 3a + b = 11
3a + b = 11 ⇒ b = 11 – 3a …(i)
5a – 2b = 11
5a – 2(11 – 3a) = 11 [From (i)]
5a – 22 + 6a = 11
11a = 33 ⇒ a = 3
Putting the value of a in (i), we get
b = 11 – 3(3) = 11 – 9 = 2 ∴ a = 3, b = 2
Question. If the function

Answer.


Question. Show that the function f defined as follows, is continuous at x = 2, but not differentiable there at :

Answer. (i) For continuity at x = 2


Question.

Answer.

Question.

Answer. y = xx (Given)
Taking log on both sides
log y = log xx
log y = x log x
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

Question. Find dy/dx , if y = (cos x)x + (sin x)1/x
Answer. y = (cos x)x + (sin x)1/x

A= (cos x)x
Taking log on both sides
log A = x (log cos x)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

Question.

Answer.

Question.

Answer. y = ea sin−1 …(i)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

Question.

Answer.

Question.

Answer. y = (cot–1 x)2
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

Question.

Answer. y = (sin x – cos x)(sin x – cos x)
Taking log on both sides, we get
log y = (sin x – cos x).log(sin x – cos x)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
