Q 2632134932

Find ` (dy)/(dx) ` if `(x^2 + y^2)^2 = xy`.
CBSE-12th 2009
Solution:

`(x^2 + y^2)^2 = xy` ...(i)

Differentiating with respect to x, we have,

` 2 (x^2 + y^2) ( 2x + 2y .(dy)/(dx) ) = y + (xdy)/(dx)`

` => 4x(x^2 + y^2) + 4y(x^2 + y^2) .(dy)/(dx) = y + (xdy)/(dx)`

` => (dy)/(dx) (4x^2y + 4y^3 - x) = y - 4x^3 - 4xy^2`

` => (dy)/(dx) = ( y - 4x^3 - 4xy^2)/(4x^2y + 4y^3 - x)`
Q 2554623554

UPSEE 2008
(A)

`yx^(y-1)`

(B)

`y^2/(x (1-y log x) )`

(C)

`y/(x (1+y log x))`

(D)

None of these

Solution:

Given, `y = x^(x^x.......oo)`..............(i)

`=> y = x^y`

On taking log on both sides, we get

`log y= y log x`

On differentiating w.r.t. `x`, we get

`1/y (dy)/(dx) = (dy)/(dx) log x +1/x y`

`=> (dy)/(dx) (1/y - log x) = y/x`

`=> (dy)/(dx) = y^2/(x (1-y log x) )`
Correct Answer is `=>` (B) `y^2/(x (1-y log x) )`
Q 2602034838

Differentiate the following function w.r.t. x:
` y = (sin)^x + sin^(-1) sqrtx`
CBSE-12th 2009
Solution:

` y = (sin)^x + sin^(-1) sqrtx`

Let `u = (sinx)^x` and `v = sin^(-1) sqrtx`

Now `y = u + v`

`(dy)/(dx) = (du)/(dx) + (dv)/(dx)` ....(i)

Consider `u = (sin x )^x`

Taking logarithms on both the sides, we have,

`logu = xlog (sinx)`

Differentiating with respect to x, we have,

` 1/u . (du)/(dx) = log (sin x) + x/(sin x) . cos x`

` => (du)/(dx) = (sin x)^x (log (sin x) + x cot x)` ...(ii)

Consider ` v = sin^(-1) sqrtx`

` (dv)/(dx) = 1/sqrt(1 -x) xx 1/(2sqrtx)` ....(iii)

From (i), (ii) and (iii)

We get, `(dy)/(dx) = (sin x)^x (log (sin x) +x cot x) + 1/(2 sqrtx sqrt(1-x))`
Q 2641880723

If `(cos x)^y = (cos y)^x`, find `(dy)/(dx)`.

CBSE-12th 2012
Solution:

The given function is `( cos x)^y = (cos y)^x`

Taking logarithm on both the sides, we obtain

`y log cos x = x log cos y`

Differentiating both sides, we obtain

`log cos x xx (dy)/(dx) + y xx d/(dx) ( log cos x) xx d/(dx) (x) + x xx d/(dx) (log cos y)`

`=> log cosx xx (dy)/(dx) + y xx 1/(cosx) xx d/(dx) (cos x) = log cosy xx 1 + x xx 1/(cosy) xx d/(dx) (cosy)`

`=> log cosx xx(dy)/(dx) + y/(cos x) (- sin x) = log cos y + x/(cos y) xx (- sin y) xx (dy)/(dx)`

` => log cosx xx(dy)/(dx) - y tanx = log cosy - x tan y xx (dy)/(dx)`

` => log cosx xx(dy)/(dx) + x tan y xx (dy)/(dx) = log cosy - y tan x`

` => ( log cosx + x tany) xx (dy)/(dx) = log cosy - y tan x`

` :. (dy)/(dx) = ( log cosy + y tanx)/(log cosx + x tan y)`

NDA Paper 1 2008
(A)

`e^(-1)`

(B)

`e`

(C)

`1`

(D)

`0`

Solution:

`:. f(x) = log_e (log_e x)`

On differentiating w.r.t. `x`, we get

`f'(x) = 1/(log_e x) * 1/x`

`=> f' (e) = 1/(log_e e) * 1/e = 1/e = e^(-1)`
Correct Answer is `=>` (A) `e^(-1)`
Q 2231778622

If `x^a y^b = (x- y)^(a+ b)`, then the value of `(dy)/(dx) - y/x`. is equal to
NDA Paper 1 2015
(A)

` a/b`

(B)

` b/a `

(C)

`1`

(D)

`0`

Solution:

We have, `x^a y^b = (x- y)^(a + b)`

Taking log on both sides, we get

`a log x + b log y = (a+ b) log (x- y)`

Differentiating on both sides, we get

`a/x + b/y quad (dy)/(dx) = (a+ b) 1/ (x - y) ( 1 - (dy)/(dx))`

`=> (dy)/(dx) ( b/y + (a+b)/(x-y) )= (a+b)/(x-y) - a/x`

` => (dy)/(dx) = y/x . (bx +ay)/(bx +ay) = y/x => (dy)/(dx) - y/x = 0`
Correct Answer is `=>` (D) `0`
Q 2676191976

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


CBSE-12th 2013
Solution:

` y = a ( cos t + log tan t/2 )`

` =. (dy)/(dt) = a [ d/( dt) (cos t) + d/(dt) ( log tan t/2) ]`

` = a [ - sin t + cot t/2 xx sec^2 t/2 xx 1/2 ]`

` = a [ - sin t + 1/( 2 sin t/2 cos t/2 )]`

` = 2 ( - sin t + 1/( sin t) ) = a ( ( - sin^2 t + 1)/(sin t) ) = a (cos^2 t)/(sin t)`

`x = a sin t`

` (dx)/(dt) = a d/(dt) (sin t) = a cos t`

` :. (dy)/(dx) = ( (dy)/(dt))/( (dx)/(dt)) = ( a ( cos^2t)/(sin t) )/(a cos t) = (cos t)/(sin t) = cot t`

` (d^2y)/(dx^2) = - cosec^ t (dt)/(dx) = - cosec^ t xx 1/(a cos t) = - 1/( a sin^2 t cos t)`
Q 2854856754

If for a continuous function `f, f (0) = f (1) = 0`, `f' (1) = 2` and `g (x) = f (e^x) e^(f (x))`. then `g' (0)` is equal to

(A)

`1`

(B)

`2`

(C)

`0`

(D)

`3`

Solution:

`g(x) = f(e^x) e^(f(x))`

`:. g' (x) = f' (e^x) · e^x · e^(f (x))`

`+ f(e^x) · e^(f(x)) ·f ' (x)`

On putting `x = 0`,

`f (0) = f (1) = 0 , f' (1) = 2`, we get

`g' (0) = 2· 1 · 1 + 0 = 2`
Correct Answer is `=>` (B) `2`
Q 2864067855

If `f (x) = e^(sin (log cos x))` and `g (x) =log cos x`, then what is `(f' x)/(g'(x)`

(A)

`f (x) cos [g (x)]`

(B)

`f (x) sin [g (x)]`

(C)

`g (x) cos [f (x)]`

(D)

`g (x) sin [f (x)]`

Solution:

`∵ f (x) = e^(sin (log cos x))`

`:. f ' (x) = e^(sin (log cos x))`

` cos (log cos x) · 1/(cos x) (- sin x)`

` = - e^(sin (log cos x))`

`cos (log cos x) · tan x`

and `g ( x) = log cos x`

`:. g' (x) = 1/(cos x) ( - sin x) = - tan x`

Hence, ` (f' x)/(g'(x)`

` = ( - e^(sin (log cos x)) . cos ( log cos x ) . tan x)/(- tan x)`

` = e^(sin (log cos x)) . cos ( log cos x )`

` = f (x) . cos [g (x)]`
Correct Answer is `=>` (A) `f (x) cos [g (x)]`
Q 2864078855

Let `f(x)` be a polynomial function `ax^2 + bx + c` of second degree. If `f(1) = f(-1)` and `a, b, c` are in `AP`
, then
Find the value of `f ' (a)`.

(A)

`2a^2`

(B)

`2b^2`

(C)

`2ab`

(D)

`2ac`

Solution:

Let `f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c`

Then, `f( 1) = a + b + c`

and `f( -1) = a - b + c`

Since, `f( 1) = f( -1)`

`=> a + b + c = a - b + c`

`=> 2b = 0 => b = 0`

`:. f(x) = ax^2 + c`

`f (x) = ax^2 + c`

`f'(x) = 2ax`

`f'(a) = 2a (a) = 2a^2`
Correct Answer is `=>` (A) `2a^2`
Q 2884378257

If `y = a sin x + b cos x`, then `y^2 + ((dy)/(dx))^2 `is a
I. Function of x II. Function of `y` III. Constant
Select the correct answer using the codes given below.

(A)

Only I

(B)

Only II

(C)

Only III

(D)

None of these

Solution:

` y = a sin x + b cos x`

On 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 1x`

`- 2 ab sin x cos x`

and `y^2 = (a sin x + b cos x)^2`

`= a^2 sin^2 x + b^2 cos^2 x`

`+ 2 ab 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)`

` => ((dy)/(dx) )^2 + y^2 = a^2 + b^2 =` constant
Correct Answer is `=>` (C) Only III
Q 2844812753

(A)

`y/x`

(B)

`(py)/(qx)`

(C)

`x/y`

(D)

`(qy)/(px)`

Solution:

On taking log both sides, we get

`p log x + q log y = (p + q) log (x + y)`

`=> p 1/x + q 1/y (dy)/(dx)`

` = ( p + q) 1/(x +y) (1 + (dy)/(dx) )`

` p/x - (p + q)/(x + y) = ( (p + q)/(x + y) - q/y ) (dy)/(dx) `

` => ( py - qx)/(x (x + y)) = ( py - qx)/(y (x + y)) . (dy)/(dx) `

` :. (dy)/(dx) = y/x`
Correct Answer is `=>` (A) `y/x`
Q 2834267152

(B)

` ( 3^(x + y) - (3^y - 1) )/(1- 3^x)`

(C)

` (3^x + 3^y)/(3^x - 3^y)`

(D)

`(3^x + 3^y)/( 1 + 3^(x + y) )`

Solution:

`3^x + 3^y = 3^(x + y)`

On differentiating w.r.t. x, we get

` 3^x log3 + 3^y log 3 (dy)/(dx)`

`= 3^ (x + y) log 3 ( 1 + (dy)/(dx) )`

`=> 3^x + 3^y (dy)/(dx) = 3^(x + y) + 3^(x +y) (dy)/(dx)`

`=> (dy)/(dx) ( - 3^( x + y) + 3^y) = 3^(x+y) - 3^x`

` => (dy)/(dx) = ( 3^x (3^y - 1))/( 3^y (1 - 3^x)) = ( 3^(x - y) (3^y - 1))/(1 - 3^x)`
Correct Answer is `=>` (B) ` ( 3^(x + y) - (3^y - 1) )/(1- 3^x)`
Q 2824167051

(A)

`e^(-1)`

(B)

`e^(-2)`

(C)

`e`

(D)

`1`

Solution:

`e^y + xy = e`, when `x = 0`, then `y = 1`

On differentiating w.r.t. x, we get

`=> e^y (dy)/(dx) + y + x (dy)/(dx) = 0` ... (i)

At `x = 0, e (dy)/(dx) + 1 + 0 = 0 => (dy)/(dx) = - 1/e`

Again, differentiating Eq. (i) w.r.t. x, we get

`e^y (d^2 y)/(dx^2) + e^y ( (dy)/(dx))^2 + (dy)/(dx) + x (d^2y)/(dx^2) + (dy)/(dx) = 0`

`=> (d^2 y)/(dx^2) ( e^y + x) + e^y ( (dy)/(dx) )^2 + 2 (dy)/(dx) = 0`

At ` x = 0 , (d^2 y)/(dx^2) ( e + 0) + e (- 1/e)^2`

` + 2 ( - 1/e) = 0 `

`=> e (d^2 y)/(dx^2) - 1/e = 0 => (d^2 y)/(dx^2) = e^(-2)`
Correct Answer is `=>` (B) `e^(-2)`

`(du)/(dx) = e^x ( sin x + cos x )` ,

` (dv)/(dx) = e^x (cos x - sin x)`

`(du)/(dx) = u + v` and `(dv)/(dx) = v - u`

` v (du)/(dx) - u (dv)/(dx) = v (u + v) - u (v - u)`

` => v (du)/(dx) - u (dv)/(dx) = u^2 + v^2`
Correct Answer is `=>` (C) `u^2 + v^2`
