Chapter 5 Continuity and Differentiability


Solution

    1. 1
      Explanation: {tex}\begin{gathered} f'(6) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f(6 + h) – f(6)}}{h}\end{gathered} {/tex} = {tex}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f(6 + h) – f(6 + 0)}}{h}{/tex}
      {tex} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f(6) + f(h) – \left\{ {f(6) + f(0)} \right\}}}{h}{/tex}
      {tex} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f(h) – f(0)}}{h} = f'(0) = 1{/tex}
    1. {tex}\frac{1}{{\left| x \right|}}{/tex}
      Explanation: {tex}\frac{d}{{d\left| x \right|}}\left( {\log \left| x \right|} \right) = \frac{1}{{\left| x \right|}}{/tex}
    1. continuous everywhere
      Explanation: f(x) = 1 + |sinx| is not derivable at those x for which x for which sinx = 0, however, 1 + |sinx| is continuous everywhere (being the sum of two continuous functions)
    1. {tex}\frac{1}{2}{/tex}
      Explanation: {tex}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{1 – \cos x}}{{x\sin x}} {/tex}{tex} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{1 – {{\cos }^2}x}}{{x\sin x(1 + \cos x)}}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{\sin x}}{x}.\frac{1}{{1 + \cos x}} = 1.\frac{1}{{1 + 1}} = \frac{1}{2}{/tex}
    1. {tex} – \frac{2}{{\sqrt 2 }}{/tex}
      Explanation: {tex}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \frac{\pi }{4}} \frac{{\cos x – \sin x}}{{x – \frac{\pi }{4}}}{/tex} {tex} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \frac{\pi }{4}} \frac{{ – \sin x – \cos x}}{1}= – \sin \frac{\pi }{4} – \cos \frac{\pi }{4}= – \frac{2}{{\sqrt 2 }} = – \sqrt 2 {/tex}
  1. {tex}\frac{3}{2}{/tex}
  2. R – {tex}\left\{\frac12\right\}{/tex}
  3. {tex}\frac x{\sqrt{1+x^2}}{/tex}
  4. Since sin x and cos x are continuous functions and product of two continuous function is a continuous function, therefore {tex}f(x) = \sin x.\cos x{/tex} is a continuous function.
  5. Given, f(x) = {tex}\left\{ \begin{array} { l l } { \frac { ( x + 3 ) ^ { 2 } – 36 } { x – 3 } , } & { x \neq 3 } \\ { x , } & { x = 3 } \end{array} \right.{/tex}
    We shall use definition of continuity to find the value of k.
    If f(x) is continuous at x = 3,
    Then, we have {tex}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 3} f ( x ) = f ( 3 ){/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow \quad \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 3} \frac { ( x + 3 ) ^ { 2 } – 36 } { x – 3 } = k{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow \quad \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 3} \frac { ( x + 3 ) ^ { 2 } – 6 ^ { 2 } } { x – 3 } = k{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 3} \frac { ( x + 3 – 6 ) ( x + 3 + 6 ) } { x – 3 } = k{/tex} [ {tex}\because{/tex} a2 – b2 = (a – b)(a + b)] {tex}\Rightarrow \quad \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 3} \frac { ( x – 3 ) ( x + 9 ) } { ( x – 3 ) } = k{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow \quad \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 3} ( x + 9 ) = k{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 3 + 9 = k {tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} k = 12
  6. Let f(x) ={tex}\left\{ \begin{array} { l l } { \frac { k x } { | x | } , } & { \text { if } x < 0 } \\ { 3 , } & { \text { if } x \geq 0 } \end{array} \right.{/tex} be continuous at x = 0
    Then,{tex}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{ x \rightarrow 0 ^ { + } } f ( x ) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{ x \rightarrow 0 ^ { – } } f ( x ) = f ( 0 ){/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow \quad \mathop {\lim }\limits_{ h \rightarrow 0 } f ( 0 + h ) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{ h \rightarrow 0 } f ( 0 – h ) = f ( 0 ){/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow \quad 3 = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{ h \rightarrow 0 } \frac { k ( – h ) } { |- h | } = 3{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow \quad \mathop {\lim }\limits_{ h \rightarrow 0 } \left( \frac { – k h } { h } \right) = 3{/tex}
    {tex}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{ h \rightarrow 0 } ( – k ) = 3{/tex}
    {tex}\therefore{/tex} k = – 3
  7. Given: {tex}y = {\cos ^{ – 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 – {x^2}}}{{1 + {x^2}}}} \right),0 < x < 1{/tex}
    Putting {tex}x = \tan \theta{/tex}
    {tex}y = {\cos ^{ – 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 – {{\tan }^2}\theta }}{{1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta }}} \right){/tex}
    {tex}= {\cos ^{ – 1}}\left( {\cos 2\theta } \right) = 2\theta = 2{\tan ^{ – 1}}x{/tex}
    {tex}\therefore \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 2.\frac{1}{{1 + {x^2}}} = \frac{2}{{1 + {x^2}}}{/tex}
  8. Let {tex}f\left( x \right) = {x^2}{/tex} and {tex}g\left( x \right) = \cos x{/tex}, then
    {tex}\left( {gof} \right)\left( x \right) = g\left[ {f\left( x \right)} \right] = g\left( {{x^2}} \right) = \cos {x^2}{/tex}
    Now f and g being continuous it follows that their composite (gof) is continuous.
    Hence {tex}\cos {x^2}{/tex} is continuous function.
  9. Here, {tex}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {x^2}\sin \frac{1}{x} = 0{/tex} x a finite quantity = 0
    {tex}\left[ {\because \sin \frac{1}{x}{\text{lies between – 1 and 1}}} \right]{/tex}
    Also f(0) = 0
    Since, {tex}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f\left( x \right) = f\left( 0 \right){/tex} therefore, the function f is continuous at x = 0.
    Also,when {tex}x\ne0{/tex} ,then f(x) is the product of two continuous functions and hence Continuous.Hence,f(x) is continuous everywhere.
  10. According to the question, f(x) = {tex} \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\frac{{{x^3} + {x^2} – 16x + 20}}{{{{(x – 2)}^2}}},}&{x \ne 2} \\ {k,}&{x = 2} \end{array}} \right\}{/tex} is continuous at {tex}x = 2.{/tex}
    Now, we have f(2) = k
    {tex} \mathop {\lim }\limits_{ x \rightarrow 2 } f ( x ) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{ x \rightarrow 2 } \frac { x ^ { 3 } + x ^ { 2 } – 16 x + 20 } { ( x – 2 ) ^ { 2 } }{/tex}
    {tex} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{ x \rightarrow 2 } \frac { ( x – 2 ) \left( x ^ { 2 } + 3 x – 10 \right) } { ( x – 2 ) ^ { 2 } }{/tex}
    {tex} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{ x \rightarrow 2 } \frac { ( x – 2 ) ( x + 5 ) ( x – 2 ) } { ( x – 2 ) ^ { 2 } }{/tex}
    {tex} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{ x \rightarrow 2 } ( x + 5 ){/tex} = 2+ 5 = 7
    f(x) is continuous at x = 2.
    {tex} \therefore \mathop {\lim }\limits_{ x \rightarrow 2 } f ( x ){/tex}= f(2) {tex} \Rightarrow{/tex} 7 = k{tex} \Rightarrow{/tex}k = 7
  11. We have, xy + yx = ab………(i)
    Let xy = v and yx = u……(ii)
    Therefore,on putting these values in Eq. (i), we get,
    v + u = ab
    Therefore,on differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get,
    {tex}\frac { d v } { d x } + \frac { d u } { d x } = 0{/tex}……..(iii)
    Now consider, xy = v [ from Eq.(ii)] Therefore,on taking log both sides, we get,
    log xy = logv
    {tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} y log x = log v
    Therefore,on differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get,
    {tex}y \cdot \frac { 1 } { x } + \log x \cdot \frac { d y } { d x } = \frac { 1 } { v } \frac { d v } { d x }{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow v \left( \frac { y } { x } + \log x \cdot \frac { d y } { d x } \right) = \frac { d v } { d x }{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow \quad \frac { d v } { d x } = x ^ { y } \left( \frac { y } { x } + \log x \frac { d y } { d x } \right){/tex}………(iv) [ From Eq.(ii)] Also, yx = u [From Eq(ii)] Therefore,on taking log both sides, we get,
    log yx = log u {tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} x log y = log u
    Therefore,on differentiating both sides w.r.t. ‘x’, we get,
    {tex}x \cdot \frac { 1 } { y } \frac { d y } { d x } + 1 \cdot \log y = \frac { 1 } { u } \frac { d u } { d x }{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow \quad \frac { x } { y } \frac { d y } { d x } + \log y = \frac { 1 } { u } \frac { d u } { d x }{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow \quad u \left[ \frac { x } { y } \frac { d y } { d x } + \log y \right] = \frac { d y } { d x }{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow \quad y ^ { x } \left[ \frac { x } { y } \frac { d y } { d x } + \log y \right] = \frac { d u } { d x }{/tex}……..(v) [ From Eq(ii)] Therefore,on substituting the values of {tex}\frac { d v } { d x } \text { and } \frac { d u } { d x }{/tex} from Eqs. (iv) and (v) respectively in Eq. (iii), we get
    {tex}x ^ { y } \left( \frac { y } { x } + \log x \cdot \frac { d y } { d x } \right) + y ^ { x } \left( \frac { x } { y } \frac { d y } { d x } + \log y \right) = 0{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow x ^ { y } \frac { y } { x } + x ^ { y } \log x \cdot \frac { d y } { d x } {/tex}{tex}+ y ^ { x } \cdot \frac { x } { y } \frac { d y } { d x } + y ^ { x } \log y = 0{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow x ^ { y } \log x \cdot \frac { d y } { d x } + y ^ { x } \frac { x } { y } \cdot \frac { d y } { d x }{/tex}{tex}= – x ^ { y } \frac { y } { x } – y ^ { x } \log y{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow \quad \frac { d y } { d x } \left[ x ^ { y } \log x + y ^ { x } \cdot \frac { x } { y } \right]{/tex}{tex}= – x ^ { y } \cdot \frac { y } { x } – y ^ { x } \log y{/tex}
    {tex}\therefore \quad \frac { d y } { d x } = \frac { – x ^ { y – 1 } \cdot y – y ^ { x } \log y } { x ^ { y } \log x + y ^ { x – 1 } \cdot x }{/tex}
  12. According to the question, {tex}e^y (x + 1) = 1{/tex}
    Taking log both sides,
    {tex}\Rightarrow log [e^y (x + 1) ]= log 1{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow log e^y + log(x + 1) = log 1{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} {tex}y + log(x + 1) = log1{/tex} [{tex}\because{/tex} log ey = y] differentiating both sides w.r.t. x,
    {tex}\Rightarrow\frac { d y } { d x } + \frac { 1 } { x + 1 } = 0{/tex}………(i)
    Differentiating both sides w.r.t. ‘x’,
    {tex}\Rightarrow \frac { d ^ { 2 } y } { d x ^ { 2 } } – \frac { 1 } { ( x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } } = 0{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow \quad \frac { d ^ { 2 } y } { d x ^ { 2 } } – \left( – \frac { d y } { d x } \right) ^ { 2 } = 0{/tex} [ From Equation(i)] {tex}\Rightarrow \quad \frac { d ^ { 2 } y } { d x ^ { 2 } } – \left( \frac { d y } { d x } \right) ^ { 2 } = 0{/tex}
    {tex}\Rightarrow \quad \frac { d ^ { 2 } y } { d x ^ { 2 } } = \left( \frac { d y } { d x } \right) ^ { 2 }{/tex}
  13. Let {tex}u = {y^x},v = {x^y},w = {x^x}{/tex}
    {tex}u + v + w = {a^b}{/tex}
    Therefore {tex}\frac{{du}}{{dx}} + \frac{{dw}}{{dx}} + \frac{{dv}}{{dx}} = 0{/tex} ….(1)
    {tex}u = {y^x}{/tex}
    Taking log both side
    {tex}\log u = \log {y^x}{/tex}
    {tex}\log u = x.\log y{/tex}
    Differentiate both side w.r.t. to x
    {tex}\frac{1}{u}.\frac{{du}}{{dx}} = x.\frac{1}{y}.\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} + \log y.1{/tex}
    {tex}\frac{{du}}{{dx}} = u\left[ {\frac{x}{y}.\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} + \log y} \right]{/tex}
    {tex}\frac{{du}}{{dx}} = {y^x}\left[ {\frac{x}{y}.\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} + \log y} \right]{/tex}…. (2)
    {tex}v = {x^y}{/tex}
    Taking log both side
    {tex}\log v = \log {x^y}{/tex}
    {tex}\log v = y.\log x{/tex}
    {tex}\frac{1}{v}.\frac{{dv}}{{dx}} = y.\frac{1}{x} + \log x.\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}{/tex}
    {tex}\frac{{dv}}{{dx}} = v\left[ {\frac{y}{x} + \log x.\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right]{/tex}
    {tex}\frac{{dv}}{{dx}} = {x^y}\left[ {\frac{y}{x} + \log x.\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right]{/tex}…. (3)
    {tex}w = {x^x}{/tex}
    Taking log both side
    {tex}\log w = \log {x^x}{/tex}
    {tex}\log w = x\log x{/tex}
    {tex}\frac{1}{w}.\frac{{dw}}{{dx}} = x.\frac{1}{x} + \log x.1{/tex}
    {tex}\frac{1}{w}.\frac{{dw}}{{dx}} = 1 + \log x{/tex}
    {tex}\frac{{dw}}{{dx}} = w(1 + \log x){/tex}
    {tex}\frac{{dw}}{{dx}} = {x^x}(1 + \log x){/tex}…. (4)
    {tex}\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{{ – {x^x}(1 + \log x) – y.{x^{y – 1}} – {y^x}\log y}}{{x.{y^{x – 1}} + {x^y}\log x.}}{/tex} (by putting 2,3 and 4 in 1)
