\frac{3}{2}

Very Short Answer:

1.Solution:

We have: y = log (cos e^x)

= – e^x tan e^x

2.Solution:

Let y = cos {sin (x)²}.

∴ $\frac{d y}{d x}$ = – sin {sin (x)²}. $\frac{d y}{d x}$ {sin (x)²}

= – sin {sin (x)²}. cos(x)² $\frac{d y}{d x}$ (x²)

= – sin {sin (x)²}. cos(x)²2x

= -2x cos(x)² sin {sin(x)²}.

3.Solution:

Let y = sin²(x²).

∴ $\frac{d y}{d x}$ = 2 sin (x²) cos (x²) = sin (2x²).

4.Solution:

We have: y + sin y = cos x.

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

$\frac{d y}{d x}$ + cos y. $\frac{d y}{d x}$ = – sin x

(1 + cos y) $\frac{d y}{d x}$ = -sin x

Hence, $\frac{d y}{d x}$ = − $\frac{sin . x}{1 + cos . y}$

where y ≠ (2n + 1)π, n ∈ Z.

5.Solution:

Put 3x = sin θ.

y = sin^-1 (2 sin θ cos θ)

= sin^-1 (sin 2θ) = 2θ

= 2 sin^-1 3x

6.Solution:

The given equation is x = e^logx

This is not true for non-positive real numbers.

[ ∵ Domain of log function is R+]

Now, let y = e^logx

If y > 0, taking logs.,

log y = log (e^logx) = log x.log e

= log x . 1 = log x

⇒ y = x.

Hence, x = e^logx is true only for positive values of x.

7.Solution:

Let y = 3^{x + 2}.

$\frac{d y}{d x}$ = ^{3x + 2}.log3. $\frac{d}{d x}$ (x + 2)

= 3^{x + 2} .log3.(1 + 0)

= 3^{x + 2}. log 3 = log 3 (3^{x + 2}).

8.Solution:

Let y = log (1 + θ) and u = sin^-1θ.

Class 12 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Continuity and Differentiability 2

9.Solution:

Here y = x^x…(1)

Taking logs., log y = log x^x

⇒ log y = x log x.

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

$\frac{1}{y}$ ⋅ $\frac{d y}{d x}$ = x 1x + logx. (1)

= 1 + log x.

Hence, $\frac{d y}{d x}$ = y (1 + log x) dx

= x^x (1 + log x). [Using (1)]

10.Solution:

The given series can be written as:

Squaring, y² = 2^x + y

⇒ y²– y = 2^x.

Diff. w.r.t. x, (2y -1) $\frac{d y}{d x}$ = 2^x log 2.

Short Answer:

1.Solution:

Class 12 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Continuity and Differentiability 3

Hence ‘f’ is continuous at x = 0.

2.Solution:

We have : f(x) = x + 1 …(1)

∴fof(x) = f (f(x)) =f(x)+ 1

= (x + 1) + 1 = x + 2.

∴ $\frac{d}{d x}$ (fof)(x).) = $\frac{d}{d x}$ (x + 2) = 1 + 0 = 1.

1.Solution:

Class 12 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Continuity and Differentiability 22

Also f(0) = a sin π/2 (0+1)

= a sin π/2 = a(1) = a

For continuity,

⇒ a = 1/2 = a

Hence, a = ½

2.Solution:

Class 12 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Continuity and Differentiability 24

Class 12 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Continuity and Differentiability 25

Hence p = 1/2 and q = 4

3.Solution:

Class 12 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Continuity and Differentiability 27

Class 12 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Continuity and Differentiability 28

⇒ k = -1 = -1

Hence k = -1

4.Solution:

lim_x→1 – f(x) = lim_x→1 − (3ax +b)

= lim_h→0 (3a (1-h) + b]

= 3a(1 – 0) + b

= 3a + b

lim_x→1 + f(x) = lim_x→1 + (5ax − 2b)

= lim_h→0 [5a (1+h) – 2b]

= 5a (1+0) – 2b

= 5a – 2b

Also f(1) = 11

Since ‘f’ is continuous at x = 1,

∴ lim_x_→₁ − f(x) = lim_x_→₁ + f(x) = f(1)

⇒ 3a + b = 5a – 2b = 11.

From first and third,

3a + b = 11 …………… (1)

From last two,

5a – 2b = 11 …………… (2)

Multiplying (1) by 2,

6a + 2b = 22 ………….. (3)

Adding (2) and (3),

11a = 33

⇒ a = 3.

Putting in (1),

3(3) + b = 11

⇒ b = 11 – 9 = 2.

Hence, a = 3 and b = 2.
