AP Inter 2nd Year Maths Continuity and Differentiability Solutions Exercise 5b
I.
Question 1.
Differentiate the function sin(x2 + 5) with respect to x.
Solution:
Let y = sin(x2 + 5)
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) sin(x2 + 5) = cos(x2 + 5) \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(x2 + 5) [∵ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) sin f(x) = cos f(x) \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)f(x)]
= cos(x2 + 5) (2x + 0) [∵ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) xn = nxn-1 and \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) (c) = 0]
= 2x cos(x2 + 5)

Question 2.
Differentiate the function cos(sin x) with respect to x.
Solution:
Let y = cos(sin x)
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) cos(sin x) = -sin(sin x) \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(sin x) [∵ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) cos f(x) = -sin f(x) \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)f(x)]
= -sin(sin x) cos x = -cos x sin(sin x)
Question 3.
Differentiate the function sin(ax + b) with respect to x.
Solution:
Let y = sin(ax + b)
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)sin(ax + b) = cos(ax + b) \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(ax + b)
= cos(ax + b)[a\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(x) + \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(b)]
= cos(ax + b)[a(1) + 0] = a cos(ax + b)

Question 6.
Differentiate the function cosx3 . sin2(x5) with respect to x.
Solution:
Let y = cosx3 . sin2(x5) = cos x3 (sin x5)2 [∵ sin2f(x) = [sin f(x)]2]
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = cos x3 \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) (sin x5)2 + (sin x5)2 \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) cos x3 [∵ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) (uv) = u\(\frac{\mathrm{dv}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) + v\(\frac{\mathrm{du}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)]
= cos x3 2(sin x5)\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)sin x5 +(sin x5)2 (-sin x3 )\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)x3
= cos x32(sin x5)cos x5 (5x4 + (sin x5)2(-sin x3)(3x2) [∵ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) sin x5 = cos x5 \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) x5 = cos x5(5x4)]
= 10x4 cos x3 sin x5 cos x5 – 3x2 sin2 x5 sin x3
= x2 sin x5[10x2 cos x3 cos x5 – 3 sin x5 sin x3].
Question 7.
Differentiate the function \(2 \sqrt{\cot \left(x^2\right)}\) with respect to x.
Solution:

Question 8.
Differentiate the function cos(\(\sqrt{x}\)) with respect to x.
Solution:
Let y = cos(\(\sqrt{x}\))
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) cos(\(\sqrt{x}\))
= -sin \(\sqrt{x}\) \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) \(\sqrt{x}\) [∵ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) cos f(x) = -sin f(x) \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) f(x)]
= -sin \(\sqrt{x} \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}\) [∵ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}} \sqrt{x}=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}\)

II.
Question 1.
Prove that the function f given by f(x) = |x – 1|, x ∈ R k is not differentiable at x = 1.
Solution:
Given f(x) = |x – 1| , x ∈ R ……….. (i)
To prove: f(x) is not differentiable at x = 1
Putting x = 1 in (i), f'(1) = |1 – 1| = |0| = 0

Here, L.H.L of f'(1) ≠ R.H.L of f'(1)
∴ f(x) is not differentiable at x = 1

Question 2.
Prove (hat the greatest nleger function defined by f(x) = |x|, 0 < x < 3 is not differentiable at x = 1 and x = 2.
Solution:
Given f(x) = [x], 0 < x < 3 ……….(i)
(a) Differentiability at x = 1
Putting x = 1 in (i), f(1) = [1] = 1 .
Left Hand derivative of f'(1) = \(\underset{\mathrm{x} \rightarrow 1-}{\mathrm{Lt}}\) \(\frac{f(x)-f(1)}{x-1}\) = \(\underset{\mathrm{x} \rightarrow 1-}{\mathrm{Lt}}\)\(\frac{[x]-1}{x-1}\)
Put x = 1 – h, h → 0+
\(\underset{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0+}{\mathrm{Lt}}\)\(\frac{[1-\mathrm{h}]-1}{1-\mathrm{h}-1}\) = \(\underset{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0+}{\mathrm{Lt}}\)\(\frac{0-1}{-h}\)
= \(\underset{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0+}{\mathrm{Lt}}\)\(\frac{1}{h}\)
We know that as h → 0+, [c – h] = c – 1 if c is an integer
∴ [1 – h] = 1 – 1 = 0
Put h = 0, \(\frac{1}{h}\) = \(\frac{1}{0}\) = ∞ does not exist
∴ f(x) is not differentiable at x = 1
(We need not find R f'(1) as L f'(1) does not exist).

(b) Differentiability at x = 2
Putting x = 2 in (i), f(2) = [2] = 2 .
Left Hand derivative of f'(2) = \(\underset{\mathrm{x} \rightarrow 1-}{\mathrm{Lt}}\) \(\frac{f(x)-f(2)}{x-2}\) = \(\underset{\mathrm{x} \rightarrow 1-}{\mathrm{Lt}}\)\(\frac{[x]-2}{x-2}\)
Put x = 2 – h, h → 0+
\(\underset{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0+}{\mathrm{Lt}}\)\(\frac{[2-\mathrm{h}]-2}{2-\mathrm{h}-2}\) = \(\underset{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0+}{\mathrm{Lt}}\)\(\frac{1-2}{-h}\)
= \(\underset{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0+}{\mathrm{Lt}}\)\(\frac{-1}{-h}\)
(For h → 0+, [2 – h] = 2 – 1 = 1
\(\underset{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0+}{\mathrm{Lt}}\)\(\frac{1}{h}\) = \(\frac{1}{0}\) = ∞ does not exist
∴ f(x) is not differentiable at x = 2
Note. For h → 0+, [c + h] = c if c is an integer
