NCERT Solutions for Exercise 5.7 Class 12 Maths Chapter 5 - Continuity and Differentiability

Edited By Komal Miglani | Updated on Apr 24, 2025 09:49 AM IST | #CBSE Class 12th

Continuity means a function does not jump or disappear, while Differentiability means the function does not stumble and keeps going without any sharp or awkward turns. Understanding how functions change is not just about finding their slopes, but we can go one step further and find how those slopes change to get a better look at how the functions behave. This is where the second-order derivative plays an important role in calculus, it helps us to determine the curvature of the function. In exercise 5.7 of the chapter Continuity and Differentiability, we will learn about the concept of the second-order derivative, which can tell us about how the first-order derivative, i.e. the rate of change itself, is changing. This article on the NCERT Solutions for Exercise 5.7 Class 12 Maths Chapter 5 - Continuity and Differentiability provides detailed solutions for the problems given in the exercise, so that students can clear their doubts and get a clear understanding of the method and logic behind these solutions.

Now, we want d2ydx2 in terms of y
y=cos1x
x=cosy
Now, put the value of x in (i)

d2ydx2=2cosy1cos2y=2cosysin2y=2cotycosecy
d2ydx2=2cosy1cos2y=2cosysin2y=2cotycosecy

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:

  1. Re-evaluate Your Study Strategies:

    • 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.
    • Join Study Groups: Collaborating with peers can create a supportive learning environment.

Remember: This is a temporary setback. With the right approach and perseverance, you can overcome this challenge and achieve your goals.
