NCERT Solutions for Exercise 5.3 Class 12 Maths Chapter 5 - Continuity and Differentiability

Edited By Komal Miglani | Updated on Apr 23, 2025 11:04 PM IST | #CBSE Class 12th

If continuity is like walking on a steady and uninterrupted path, then differentiability is like gliding on it with rolling shoes, smooth and effortless, without any sharp turnings. In calculus, differentiating composite functions or inverse trigonometric functions sometimes gets tricky, and it can become very confusing for students. In exercise 5.3 of the chapter Continuity and Differentiability, we will learn about different techniques for easily differentiating complex composite functions and inverse trigonometric functions. This article on the NCERT Solutions for Exercise 5.3 Class 12 Maths Chapter 5 - Continuity and Differentiability, offers clear and step-by-step solutions for the exercise problems to help the students understand the method and logic behind it. For syllabus, notes, and PDF, refer to this link: NCERT.

Topics covered in Chapter 5, Continuity and Differentiability: Exercise 5.3

The main topics covered in Chapter 5 of continuity and differentiability, exercises 5.3 are:

  • Derivatives of Implicit Functions: When a function is not given in an explicit form like y=f(x), but as an expression consisting of both x and y, we can use implicit differentiation. This method involves differentiating both sides of the expression with respect to x, taking y as a function of x.
  • Derivatives of Inverse Trigonometric Functions: This part is about finding the derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions like sin1x,cos1x,tan1x, etc. These are sometimes used in combination with implicit functions.

Questions related to CBSE Class 12th

Have a question related to CBSE Class 12th ?

Changing from the CBSE board to the Odisha CHSE in Class 12 is generally difficult and often not ideal due to differences in syllabi and examination structures. Most boards, including Odisha CHSE , do not recommend switching in the final year of schooling. It is crucial to consult both CBSE and Odisha CHSE authorities for specific policies, but making such a change earlier is advisable to prevent academic complications.

Hello there! Thanks for reaching out to us at Careers360.

Ah, you're looking for CBSE quarterly question papers for mathematics, right? Those can be super helpful for exam prep.

Unfortunately, CBSE doesn't officially release quarterly papers - they mainly put out sample papers and previous years' board exam papers. But don't worry, there are still some good options to help you practice!

Have you checked out the CBSE sample papers on their official website? Those are usually pretty close to the actual exam format. You could also look into previous years' board exam papers - they're great for getting a feel for the types of questions that might come up.

If you're after more practice material, some textbook publishers release their own mock papers which can be useful too.

Let me know if you need any other tips for your math prep. Good luck with your studies!

It's understandable to feel disheartened after facing a compartment exam, especially when you've invested significant effort. However, it's important to remember that setbacks are a part of life, and they can be opportunities for growth.

Possible steps:

    • Identify Weak Areas: Pinpoint the specific topics or concepts that caused difficulties.
    • Seek Clarification: Reach out to teachers, tutors, or online resources for additional explanations.
    • Practice Regularly: Consistent practice is key to mastering chemistry.
  2. Consider Professional Help:

    • Tutoring: A tutor can provide personalized guidance and support.
    • Counseling: If you're feeling overwhelmed or unsure about your path, counseling can help.
  3. Explore Alternative Options:

    • Retake the Exam: If you're confident in your ability to improve, consider retaking the chemistry compartment exam.
    • Change Course: If you're not interested in pursuing chemistry further, explore other academic options that align with your interests.
  4. Focus on NEET 2025 Preparation:

    • Stay Dedicated: Continue your NEET preparation with renewed determination.
    • Utilize Resources: Make use of study materials, online courses, and mock tests.
  5. Seek Support:

    • Talk to Friends and Family: Sharing your feelings can provide comfort and encouragement.
