Application of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise

Question:1(a) Using differentials, find the approximate value of each of the following:

( 17/81) ^{1/4 }

Answer:

Let y = x^\frac{1}{4} and x = \frac{16}{81} \ and \ \Delta x = \frac{1}{81}
\Delta y = (x+\Delta x)^\frac{1}{4}-x^\frac{1}{4}
= (\frac{16}{81}+\frac{1}{81})^\frac{1}{4}-(\frac{16}{81})^\frac{1}{4}
(\frac{17}{81})^\frac{1}{4} = \Delta y + \frac{2}{3}
Now, we know that \Delta y is approximate equals to dy
So,
dy = \frac{dy}{dx}.\Delta x \\ = \frac{1}{4x^\frac{3}{4}}.\frac{1}{81} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\because y = x^\frac{1}{4} \ and \ \Delta x = \frac{1}{81})\\ = \frac{1}{4(\frac{16}{81})^\frac{3}{4}}.\frac{1}{81} = \frac{27}{4\times 8}.\frac{1}{81} = \frac{1}{96}
Now,
(\frac{17}{81})^\frac{1}{4} = \Delta y + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{96}+\frac{2}{3} = \frac{65}{96} = 0.677
Hence, (\frac{17}{81})^\frac{1}{4} is approximately equal to 0.677

Question:1(b) Using differentials, find the approximate value of each of the following:
( 33) ^{-1/5 }

Answer:

Let y = x^\frac{-1}{5} and x = 32 \ and \ \Delta x = 1
\Delta y = (x+\Delta x)^\frac{-1}{5}-x^\frac{-1}{5}
= (32+1)^\frac{-1}{5}-(32)^\frac{-1}{5}
(33)^\frac{-1}{4} = \Delta y + \frac{1}{2}
Now, we know that \Delta y is approximately equals to dy
So,
dy = \frac{dy}{dx}.\Delta x \\ = \frac{-1}{5x^\frac{6}{5}}.1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\because y = x^\frac{-1}{5} \ and \ \Delta x = 1)\\ = \frac{-1}{5(32)^\frac{6}{5}}.1 = \frac{-1}{5\times 64}.1= \frac{-1}{320}
Now,
(33)^\frac{-1}{5} = \Delta y + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{-1}{320}+\frac{1}{2} = \frac{159}{320} = 0.497
Hence, (33)^\frac{-1}{5} is approximately equals to 0.497

Question:2. Show that the function given by f ( x ) = \frac{\log x}{x} has maximum at x = e.

Answer:

Given function is
f ( x ) = \frac{\log x}{x}
f^{'}(x) = \frac{1}{x}.\frac{1}{x} + log x\frac{-1}{x^2} = \frac{1}{x^2}(1-\log x)
f^{'}(x) =0 \\ \frac{1}{x^2}(1-\log x) = 0\\ \frac{1}{x^2} \neq 0 \ So \ log x = 1\Rightarrow x = e
Hence, x =e is the critical point
Now,
f^{''}(x) = \frac{-2x}{x^3}(1-\log x)+\frac{1}{x^2}(-\frac{1}{x}) = \frac{1}{x^3}(-2x+2xlog x-1)\\ f^{''(e)} = \frac{-1}{e^3} < 0
Hence, x = e is the point of maxima

Question:3 . The two equal sides of an isosceles triangle with fixed base b are decreasing at the rate of 3 cm per second. How fast is the area decreasing when the two equal sides are equal to the base ?

Answer:

It is given that the base of the triangle is b
and let the side of the triangle be x cm , \frac{dx}{dt} = -3 cm/s
We know that the area of the triangle(A) = \frac{1}{2}bh
now, h = \sqrt{x^2-(\frac{b}{2})^2}
A= \frac{1}{2}b \sqrt{x^2-(\frac{b}{2})^2}
\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{dA}{dx}.\frac{dx}{dt}= \frac{1}{2}b\frac{2x}{2\sqrt{x^2-(\frac{b}{2})^2}}.(-3)
Now at x = b
\frac{dA}{dx} = \frac{1}{2}b\frac{2b}{\frac{\sqrt3b}{2}}.(-3)=-\sqrt3b
Hence, the area decreasing when the two equal sides are equal to the base is \sqrt3b cm^2/s

Question:4 Find the equation of the normal to curve x ^2 = 4 y which passes through the point (1, 2).

Answer:

Given the equation of the curve
x^2 = 4 y
We know that the slope of the tangent at a point on the given curve is given by \frac{dy}{dx}
4\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x \\\ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x}{2}
We know that
Slope \ of \ normal = \frac{-1}{Slope \ of \ tangent } = \frac{-1}{\frac{x}{2}} = \frac{-2}{x}
At point (a,b)
Slope = \frac{-2}{a}
Now, the equation of normal with point (a,b) and Slope = \frac{-2}{a}

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\ y-b=\frac{-2}{a}(x-a)
It is given that it also passes through the point (1,2)
Therefore,
2-b=\frac{-2}{a}(1-a)\\ 2a -ba = 2a -2\\ ba = 2\\b =\frac{2}{a} -(i)
It also satisfies equation x^2 = 4 y\Rightarrow b = \frac{a^2}{4} -(ii)
By comparing equation (i) and (ii)
\frac{2}{a} = \frac{a^2}{4}\\ a^3 = 8\\ a = 2
b = \frac{2}{a} = \frac{2}{2} = 1
Slope = \frac{-2}{a} = \frac{-2}{2} = -1

Now, equation of normal with point (2,1) and slope = -1

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\ y-1=-1(x-2)\\ y+x=3
Hence, equation of normal is x + y - 3 = 0

Question:5 . Show that the normal at any point \theta to the curve x = a \cos \theta + a \theta \sin \theta , y = a \sin \theta - a\theta \cos\theta is at a constant distance from the origin.

Answer:

We know that the slope of tangent at any point is given by \frac{dy}{dx}
Given equations are
x = a \cos \theta + a \theta \sin \theta , y = a \sin \theta - a\theta \cos\theta
\frac{dx}{d\theta} = -a\sin \theta + a\sin \theta -a\theta\cos \theta = -a\theta\cos \theta
\frac{dy}{d\theta} =a\cos \theta -a\cos \theta +a\theta (-\sin \theta) = -a\theta\sin \theta
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{d\theta}}{\frac{dx}{d\theta}} = \frac{-a\theta\sin \theta}{-a\theta \cos \theta} = \tan \theta
We know that
Slope \ of \ normal = \frac{-1}{Slope \ of \ tangent} = \frac{-1}{\tan \theta}
equation of normal with given points and slope
y_2-y_1=m(x_2-x_1)\\ y - a\sin \theta + a\theta\cos\theta = \frac{-1}{\tan \theta}(x-a\cos\theta-a\theta\sin\theta)\\ y\sin\theta - a\sin^2 \theta + a\theta\cos\theta\sin\theta = -x\cos\theta+a\cos^2\theta+a\theta\sin\theta\cos\theta\\ y\sin\theta + x\cos\theta = a
Hence, the equation of normal is y\sin\theta + x\cos\theta = a
Now perpendicular distance of normal from the origin (0,0) is
D = \frac{|(0)\sin\theta+(0)\cos\theta-a|}{\sqrt{\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta}} = |-a| = a = \ constant \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \\\ (\because \sin^2x+\cos^2x=1)
Hence, by this, we can say that

the normal at any point \theta to the curve x = a \cos \theta + a \theta \sin \theta , y = a \sin \theta - a\theta \cos\theta

is at a constant distance from the origin

Question:6(i) Find the intervals in which the function f given by f (x) = \frac{4 \sin x - 2x - x \cos x }{2 + \cos x } is

increasing

Answer:

Given function is
f (x) = \frac{4 \sin x - 2x - x \cos x }{2 + \cos x }
f^{'}(x) = \frac{(4\cos x - 2-\cos x+x\sin x)(2+\cos x)-(4\sin x - 2x - x\cos x )(-\sin x)}{(2+\cos x)^2}
=\frac{4\cos x - \cos^2x}{2+\cos x}
f^{'}(x)=0\\ \frac{4\cos x - \cos^2x}{2+\cos x} =0\\ \cos x(4-\cos x) = 0\\ \cos x = 0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ and \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \cos x =4
But \cos x \neq 4
So,
\cos x = 0 \\ x = \frac{\pi}{2} \ and \ \frac{3\pi}{2}
Now three ranges are there \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right ),\left ( \frac{\pi}{2},\frac{3\pi}{2} \right ) \ and \ \left ( \frac{3\pi}{2},2\pi \right )
In interval \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right ) \ and \ \left ( \frac{3\pi}{2},2\pi \right ) , f^{'}(x) > 0

Hence, the given function f (x) = \frac{4 \sin x - 2x - x \cos x }{2 + \cos x } is increasing in the interval \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right ) \ and \ \left ( \frac{3\pi}{2},2\pi \right )
in interval ,\left ( \frac{\pi}{2},\frac{3\pi}{2} \right ), f^{'}(x) < 0 so function is decreasing in this inter

Question:6(ii) Find the intervals in which the function f given by f x is equal to

f (x) = \frac{4 \sin x - 2x - x \cos x }{2 + \cos x } is

decreasing

Answer:

Given function is
f (x) = \frac{4 \sin x - 2x - x \cos x }{2 + \cos x }
f^{'}(x) = \frac{(4\cos x - 2-\cos x+x\sin x)(2+\cos x)-(4\sin x - 2x - x\cos x )(-\sin x)}{(2+\cos x)^2}
=\frac{4\cos x - \cos^2x}{2+\cos x}
f^{'}(x)=0\\ \frac{4\cos x - \cos^2x}{2+\cos x} =0\\ \cos x(4-\cos x) = 0\\ \cos x = 0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ and \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \cos x =4
But \cos x \neq 4
So,
\cos x = 0 \\ x = \frac{\pi}{2} \ and \ \frac{3\pi}{2}
Now three ranges are there \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right ),\left ( \frac{\pi}{2},\frac{3\pi}{2} \right ) \ and \ \left ( \frac{3\pi}{2},2\pi \right )
In interval \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right ) \ and \ \left ( \frac{3\pi}{2},2\pi \right ) , f^{'}(x) > 0

Hence, given function f (x) = \frac{4 \sin x - 2x - x \cos x }{2 + \cos x } is increasing in interval \left ( 0,\frac{\pi}{2} \right ) \ and \ \left ( \frac{3\pi}{2},2\pi \right )
in interval ,\left ( \frac{\pi}{2},\frac{3\pi}{2} \right ), f^{'}(x) < 0
Hence, given function f (x) = \frac{4 \sin x - 2x - x \cos x }{2 + \cos x } is decreasing in interval ,\left ( \frac{\pi}{2},\frac{3\pi}{2} \right )

Question:7(i) Find the intervals in which the function f given by f (x) = x ^3 + \frac{1}{x^3}, x \neq 0

Increasing

Answer:

Given function is
f (x) = x ^3 + \frac{1}{x^3}
f^{'} (x) = 3x ^2 + \frac{-3x^2}{x^4}\\ f^{'}(x) = 0\\ 3x ^2 + \frac{-3x^2}{x^4} = 0\\ x^4 = 1\\ x = \pm1
Hence, three intervals are their (-\infty,-1),(-1,1) \ and (1,\infty)
In interval (-\infty,-1) \ and \ (1,\infty) , f^{'})x > 0
Hence, given function f (x) = x ^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} is increasing in interval (-\infty,-1) \ and \ (1,\infty)
In interval (-1,1) , f^{'}(x)< 0
Hence, given function f (x) = x ^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} is decreasing in interval (-1,1)

Question:7(ii) Find the intervals in which the function f given by f ( x) = x ^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} , x \neq 0

decreasing

Answer:

Given function is
f (x) = x ^3 + \frac{1}{x^3}
f^{'} (x) = 3x ^2 + \frac{-3x^2}{x^4}\\ f^{'}(x) = 0\\ 3x ^2 + \frac{-3x^2}{x^4} = 0\\ x^4 = 1\\ x = \pm1
1654666897895 Hence, three intervals are their (-\infty,-1),(-1,1) \ and (1,\infty)
In interval (-\infty,-1) \ and \ (1,\infty) , f^{'})x > 0
Hence, given function f (x) = x ^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} is increasing in interval (-\infty,-1) \ and \ (1,\infty)
In interval (-1,1) , f^{'}(x)< 0
Hence, given function f (x) = x ^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} is decreasing in interval (-1,1)

Question:8 Find the maximum area of an isosceles triangle inscribed in the ellipse \frac{x ^2 }{a^2}+ \frac{y^2}{b^2 } = 1 with its vertex at one end of the major axis.

Answer:

1628072034896 Given the equation of the ellipse
\frac{x ^2 }{a^2}+ \frac{y^2}{b^2 } = 1
Now, we know that ellipse is symmetrical about x and y-axis. Therefore, let's assume coordinates of A = (-n,m) then,
Now,
Put(-n,m) in equation of ellipse
we will get
m = \pm \frac{b}{a}.\sqrt{a^2-n^2}
Therefore, Now
Coordinates of A = \left ( -n,\frac{b}{a}.\sqrt{a^2-n^2} \right )
Coordinates of B = \left ( -n,-\frac{b}{a}.\sqrt{a^2-n^2} \right )
Now,
Length AB(base) = 2\frac{b}{a}.\sqrt{a^2-n^2}
And height of triangle ABC = (a+n)
Now,
Area of triangle = \frac{1}{2}bh
A = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{2b}{a}.\sqrt{a^2-n^2}.(a+n)= ab\sqrt{a^2-n^2}+bn\sqrt{a^2-n^2}
Now,
\frac{dA}{dn} = \frac{-abn}{\sqrt{a^2-n^2}}+n\sqrt{a^2-n^2}-\frac{bn^2}{\sqrt{a^2-n^2}}
Now,
\frac{dA}{dn} =0\\ \frac{-abn}{\sqrt{a^2-n^2}}+n\sqrt{a^2-n^2}-\frac{bn^2}{\sqrt{a^2-n^2}} =0\\ -abn + n(a^2-n^2)-bn^2 = 0\\ \Rightarrow n = -a,\frac{a}{2}
but n cannot be zero
therefore, n = \frac{a}{2}
Now, at n = \frac{a}{2}
\frac{d^2A}{dn^2}< 0
Therefore, n = \frac{a}{2} is the point of maxima
Now,
b = 2\frac{b}{a}.\sqrt{a^2- (\frac{a}{2})^2}= \sqrt3b
h = (a+ n ) = a+ \frac{ a}{2} = \frac{ 3a}{2}
Now,
Therefore, Area (A) = \frac{1}{2}bh = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt3 b \frac{3a}{2} = \frac{3\sqrt3ab}{4}

Question:9 A tank with rectangular base and rectangular sides, open at the top is to be constructed so that its depth is 2 m and volume is 8 m3. If building of tank costs Rs 70 per sq metres for the base and Rs 45 per square metre for sides. What is the cost of least expensive tank?

Answer:

Let l , b and h are length , breath and height of tank
Then, volume of tank = l X b X h = 8 m^3
h = 2m (given)
lb = 4 = l = \frac{4}{b}
Now,
area of base of tank = l X b = 4
area of 4 side walls of tank = hl + hl + hb + hb = 2h(l + b)
Total area of tank (A) = 4 + 2h(l + b)
A(b) = 4 + 2h(\frac{4}{b}+b)
A^{'}(b) = 2h(\frac{-4}{b^2}+1)\\ A^{'}(b)=0\\ 2h(\frac{-4}{b^2}+1) = 0\\ b^2= 4\\ b = 2
Now,
A^{''}(b) = 2h(\frac{-4\times-2b}{b^3})\\ A^{''}(2) = 8 > 0
Hence, b = 2 is the point of minima
l = \frac{4}{b} = \frac{4}{2} = 2
So, l = 2 , b = 2 and h = 2 m
Area of base = l X B = 2 X 2 = 4 \ m^2
building of tank costs Rs 70 per sq metres for the base
Therefore, for 4 \ m^2 Rs = 4 X 70 = 280 Rs
Area of 4 side walls = 2h(l + b)
= 2 X 2(2 + 2) = 16 \ m^2
building of tank costs Rs 45 per square metre for sides
Therefore, for 16 \ m^2 Rs = 16 X 45 = 720 Rs
Therefore, total cost for making the tank is = 720 + 280 = 1000 Rs

Question:10 The sum of the perimeter of a circle and square is k, where k is some constant. Prove that the sum of their areas is least when the side of square is double the radius of the circle.

Answer:

It is given that
the sum of the perimeter of a circle and square is k = 2\pi r + 4a = k\Rightarrow a = \frac{k - 2\pi r}{4}
Let the sum of the area of a circle and square(A) = \pi r^2 + a^2
A = \pi r^2 + (\frac{k-2\pi r}{4})^2
A^{'}(r) = 2\pi r + 2(\frac{k-2\pi r}{16})(- 2\pi)\\ A^{'}(r) = 0\\ 2\pi (\frac{8r-k-2\pi r}{8}) = 0\\ r = \frac{k}{8-2\pi}
Now,
A^{''}(r) = 2\pi (\frac{8-2\pi }{8}) = 0\\ A^{''}(\frac{k}{8-2\pi}) > 0
Hence, r= \frac{k}{8-2\pi} is the point of minima
a = \frac{k-2\pi r}{4} = \frac{k-2\pi \frac{k}{8-2\pi}}{4}=2 \frac{k}{8-2\pi} = 2r
Hence proved that the sum of their areas is least when the side of the square is double the radius of the circle

Question:11 A window is in the form of a rectangle surmounted by a semicircular opening. The total perimeter of the window is 10 m. Find the dimensions of the window to admit maximum light through the whole opening.

Answer:

Let l and bare the length and breadth of rectangle respectively and r will be the radius of circle (r = \frac{l}{2})
The total perimeter of window = perimeter of rectangle + perimeter of the semicircle

= l+2b + \pi \frac{l}{2}
1628072096595
l+2b + \pi \frac{l}{2} = 10\\ l = \frac{2(10-2b)}{2+\pi}
Area of window id given by (A) = lb + \frac{\pi}{2}\left ( \frac{l}{2} \right )^2
= \frac{2(10-2b)}{2+\pi}b + \frac{\pi}{2}\left ( \frac{10-2b}{2+\pi} \right )^2\\
A^{'}(b) = \frac{20-8b}{2+\pi}+\frac{\pi}{2}.2(\frac{10-2b}{2+\pi}).\frac{(-2)}{2+\pi}
= \frac{20-8b}{2+\pi}-2\pi(\frac{10-2b}{(2+\pi)^2})\\ A^{'}(b) = 0\\ \frac{20-8b}{2+\pi}=2\pi(\frac{10-2b}{(2+\pi)^2})\\ 40 + 20\pi -16b -8\pi b = 20\pi - 4\pi b\\ 40 = 4b(\pi+4)\\b = \frac{10}{\pi+4}
Now,
A^{''}(b) = \frac{-8}{2+\pi}+\frac{4\pi}{(2+\pi)^2} = \frac{-16-8\pi+4\pi}{(2+\pi)^2} = \frac{-16-4\pi}{(2+\pi)^2} \\ A^{''}(\frac{10}{\pi+4}) < 0
Hence, b = 5/2 is the point of maxima
l = \frac{2(10-2b)}{2+\pi} = \frac{2(10-2.\frac{10}{4+\pi})}{2+\pi} = \frac{20}{4+\pi}
r= \frac{l}{2}= \frac{20}{2(4+\pi)}=\frac{10}{4+\pi}
Hence, these are the dimensions of the window to admit maximum light through the whole opening

Question:12 A point on the hypotenuse of a triangle is at distance a and b from the sides of the triangle. Show that the minimum length of the hypotenuse is ( a ^{\frac{2}{3}}+ b ^\frac{2}{3}) ^ \frac{3}{2}

Answer:

It is given that
A point on the hypotenuse of a triangle is at a distance a and b from the sides of the triangle

1628072130108 Let the angle between AC and BC is \theta
So, the angle between AD and ED is also \theta
Now,
CD = b \ cosec\theta
And
AD = a \sec\theta
AC = H = AD + CD
= a \sec\theta + b \ cosec\theta
\frac{dH}{d\theta} = a \sec\theta\tan\theta - b\cot\theta cosec \theta\\ \frac{dH}{d\theta} = 0\\ a \sec\theta\tan\theta - b\cot\theta cosec \theta =0\\ a \sec\theta\tan\theta = b\cot\theta cosec \theta\\ a\sin^3\theta = b\cos^3\theta\\ \tan^3\theta = \frac{b}{a} \\ \tan\theta = \left ( \frac{b}{a} \right )^\frac{1}{3}
Now,
\frac{d^2H}{d\theta^2} > 0
When \tan\theta = \left ( \frac{b}{a} \right )^\frac{1}{3}
Hence, \tan\theta = \left ( \frac{b}{a} \right )^\frac{1}{3} is the point of minima
\sec \theta = \frac{a\sqrt{a^\frac{2}{3}+b^\frac{2}{3}}}{a^\frac{1}{3}} and cosec \theta = \frac{b\sqrt{a^\frac{2}{3}+b^\frac{2}{3}}}{b^\frac{1}{3}}

AC = \frac{a\sqrt{a^\frac{2}{3}+b^\frac{2}{3}}}{a^\frac{1}{3}} + \frac{b\sqrt{a^\frac{2}{3}+b^\frac{2}{3}}}{b^\frac{1}{3}} = (a^\frac{2}{3}+b^\frac{2}{3})^\frac{3}{2}
Hence proved

Question:13 Find the points at which the function f given by f(x) = (x-2)^4(x+1)^3 has (i) local maxima (ii) local minima (iii) point of inflexion

Answer:

Given function is
f(x) = (x-2)^4(x+1)^3
f^{'}(x) = 4(x-2)^3(x+1)^3 + 3(x+1)^2(x-2)^4\\ f^{'}(x)= 0\\ 4(x-2)^3(x+1)^3 + 3(x+1)^2(x-2)^4=0\\ (x-2)^3(x+1)^2(4(x+1) + 3(x-2))\\ x = 2 , x = -1 \ and \ x = \frac{2}{7}
Now, for value x close to \frac{2}{7} and to the left of \frac{2}{7} , f^{'}(x) > 0 ,and for value close to \frac{2}{7} and to the right of \frac{2}{7} f^{'}(x) < 0
Thus, point x = \frac{2}{7} is the point of maxima
Now, for value x close to 2 and to the Right of 2 , f^{'}(x) > 0 ,and for value close to 2 and to the left of 2 f^{'}(x) < 0
Thus, point x = 2 is the point of minima
There is no change in the sign when the value of x is -1
Thus x = -1 is the point of inflexion

Question:14 Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the function f given by
f (x) = \cos ^2 x + \sin x , x \epsilon [ 0 , \pi ]

Answer: Given function is
f (x) = \cos ^2 x + \sin x
f^{'} (x) = 2\cos x(-\sin x) + \cos x \\ f^{'}(x) = 0\\ -2\cos x\sin x + \cos x=0\\ \cos x(1-2\sin x) = 0\\ either\\ \cos x = 0 \ \ \ \ \ \ and \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \sin x = \frac{1}{2} \\ x = \frac{\pi}{2} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ and \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x = \frac{\pi}{6} \ \ \ \ \ as \ x \ \epsilon [0,\pi]
Now,
f^{''} (x) = -2(-\sin x)\sin x - 2\cos x\cos x + (-\sin x) \\ f^{''}(x)= 2\sin^2x - 2\cos^2x - \sin x\\ f^{''}(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{-3}{2} < 0
Hence, the point x = \frac{\pi}{6} is the point of maxima and the maximum value is
f (\frac{\pi}{6}) = \cos ^2 \frac{\pi}{6} + \sin \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{4}
And
f^{''}(\frac{\pi}{2}) = 1 > 0
Hence, the point x = \frac{\pi}{2} is the point of minima and the minimum value is
f (\frac{\pi}{2}) = \cos ^2 \frac{\pi}{2} + \sin \frac{\pi}{2} =0 + 1 = 1

Question:15 Show that the altitude of the right circular cone of maximum volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius r is 4r/3

Answer:

1628072169934 The volume of a cone (V) = \frac{1}{3}\pi R^2h
The volume of the sphere with radius r = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3
By Pythagoras theorem in \Delta ADC we ca say that
OD^2 = r^2 - R^2 \\ OD = \sqrt{r^2 - R^2}\\ h = AD = r + OD = r + \sqrt{r^2 - R^2}
V = \frac{1}{3}\pi R^2 (r + \sqrt{r^2+R^2})\\ = \frac{1}{3}\pi R^2r + \frac{1}{3}\pi R^2 \sqrt{r^2+R^2}
\frac{1}{3}\pi R^2 (r + \sqrt{r^2-R^2})\\ V^{'}(R)= \frac{2}{3}\pi Rr + \frac{2}{3}\pi R \sqrt{r^2-R^2}+\frac{1}{3}\pi R^2.\frac{-2R}{2\sqrt{r^2-R^2}}\\ V^{'}(R) = 0\\ \frac{1}{3}\pi R \left ( 2r + 2\sqrt{r^2-R^2} - \frac{R^2}{\sqrt{r^2-R^2}} \right ) = 0\\ \frac{1}{3}\pi R \left ( \frac{2r\sqrt{r^2-R^2} + 2r^2-2R^2 -R^2}{\sqrt{r^2-R^2}} \right ) = 0\\ R \neq 0 \ So, \\ 2r\sqrt{r^2-R^2} = 3R^2 - 2r^2\\ Square \ both \ sides\\ 4r^4-4r^2R^2 = 9R^4 + 4r^4 - 12R^2r^2\\ 9R^4-8R^2r^2 = 0\\ R^2(9R^2-8r^2) = 0\\ R \neq 0 \ So, 9R^2 = 8r^2\\ R = \frac{2\sqrt2r}{3}
Now,
V^{''}(R)= \frac{2}{3}\pi r + \frac{2}{3}\pi \sqrt{r^2-R^2}+\frac{2}{3}\pi R.\frac{-2R}{2\sqrt{r^2-R^2}}-\frac{3\pi R^2}{\sqrt{r^2-R^2}} - \frac{(-1)(-2R)}{(r^2+R^2)\frac{3}{2}}\\ V^{''}(\frac{2\sqrt2r}{3}) < 0
Hence, the point R = \frac{2\sqrt2r}{3} is the point of maxima
h = r + \sqrt{r^2-R^2} = r + \sqrt{r^2-\frac{8r^2}{9}} = r + \frac{r}{3} = \frac{4r}{3}
Hence, the altitude of the right circular cone of maximum volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius r is \frac{4r}{3}

Question:16 Let f be a function defined on [a, b] such that f (x) > 0 , for all x \: \: \epsilon \: \: ( a,b) . Then prove that f is an increasing function on (a, b).

Answer:

Let's do this question by taking an example
suppose
f(x)= x^3 > 0 , (a.b)
Now, also
f{'}(x)= 3x^2 > 0 , (a,b)
Hence by this, we can say that f is an increasing function on (a, b)

Question:17 Show that the height of the cylinder of maximum volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius R is \frac{2 R }{\sqrt 3 } . Also, find the maximum volume.

Answer:

1628072213939 The volume of the cylinder (V) = \pi r^2 h
By Pythagoras theorem in \Delta OAB
OA = \sqrt{R^2-r^2}
h = 2OA
h = 2\sqrt{R^2-r^2}
V = 2\pi r^2\sqrt{R^2-r^2}
V^{'}(r) = 4\pi r\sqrt{R^2-r^2}+2\pi r^2 . \frac{-2r}{2\sqrt{R^2-r^2}}\\ V^{'}(r) = 0\\ 4\pi r\sqrt{R^2-r^2}- \frac{2\pi r^3}{\sqrt{R^2-r^2}} = 0\\ 4\pi r (R^2-r^2 ) - 2\pi r^3 = 0\\ 6\pi r^3 = 4\pi rR^2\\ r =\frac{\sqrt6R}{3}
Now,
V^{''}(r) = 4\pi \sqrt{R^2-r^2}+4\pi r.\frac{-2r}{2\sqrt{R^2-r^2}}- \frac{6\pi r^2}{\sqrt{R^2-r^2}}.\frac{(-1)-2r}{2(R^2-r^2)\frac{3}{2}}\\ V^{''}(\frac{\sqrt6R}{3}) < 0
Hence, the point r = \frac{\sqrt6R}{3} is the point of maxima
h = 2\sqrt{R^2-r^2} = = 2\sqrt{R^2 - \frac{2R^2}{3}} =\frac{2R}{\sqrt3}
Hence, the height of the cylinder of maximum volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius R is \frac{2 R }{\sqrt 3 }
and maximum volume is
V = \pi r^2 h = \pi \frac{2R^2}{3}.\frac{2R}{\sqrt3} = \frac{4\pi R^3}{3\sqrt3}

Question:18 Show that height of the cylinder of greatest volume which can be inscribed in a right circular cone of height h and semi vertical angle a is one-third that of the cone and the greatest volume of cylinder is

\frac{4}{27}\pi h ^3 \tan ^2 \alpha

Answer:

1628072251851 Let's take radius and height of cylinder = r and h ' respectively
Let's take radius and height of cone = R and h respectively

Volume of cylinder = \pi r^2 h'
Volume of cone = \frac{1}{3}\pi R^2 h
Now, we have
R = h\tan a
Now, since \Delta AOG \and \Delta CEG are similar
\frac{OA}{OG} = \frac{CE}{EG}
\frac{h}{R} = \frac{h'}{R-r}
h'=\frac{h(R-r)}{R}
h'=\frac{h(h\tan a-r)}{h\tan a} = \frac{h\tan a- r}{\tan a}
Now,
V = \pi r^ 2 h' = \pi r^2 .\frac{h\tan a-r}{\tan a} = \pi r^2 h - \frac{\pi r^3}{\tan a}
Now,
\frac{dV}{dr}= 2\pi rh- \frac{3\pi r^2}{\tan a} \\ \frac{dV}{dr}=0\\ 2\pi rh- \frac{3\pi r^2}{\tan a} = 0\\ 2\pi rh = \frac{3\pi r^2}{\tan a}\\ r = \frac{2h\tan a}{3}
Now,
\frac{d^2V}{dr^2}= 2\pi h- \frac{6\pi r}{\tan a}
at r = \frac{2h\tan a}{3}
\frac{d^2V}{dr^2} = 2\pi h- 4\pi h < 0
Hence, r = \frac{2h\tan a}{3} is the point of maxima
h' = \frac{h\tan a-r}{\tan a} = \frac{h\tan a- \frac{2h\tan a}{3}}{\tan a}= \frac{1}{3}h
Hence proved
Now, Volume (V) at h' = \frac{1}{3}h and r = \frac{2h\tan a}{3} is
V = \pi r^2 h' = \pi \left ( \frac{2h\tan a}{3} \right )^2.\frac{h}{3}= \frac{4}{27}.\pi h^3\tan^2 a
hence proved

Question:19 A cylindrical tank of radius 10 m is being filled with wheat at the rate of 314
cubic metre per hour. Then the depth of the wheat is increasing at the rate of

(A) 1 m/h

(B) 0.1 m/h

(C) 1.1 m/h

(D) 0.5 m/h

Answer:

It is given that
\frac{dV}{dt} = 314 \ m^3/h
Volume of cylinder (V) = \pi r^2 h = 100\pi h \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\because r = 10 m)
\frac{dV}{dt} = 100\pi \frac{dh}{dt}\\ 314 = 100\pi \frac{dh}{dt}\\ \frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{3.14}{\pi} = 1 \ m/h
Hence, (A) is correct answer

Question:20 The slope of the tangent to the curve x = t^2 + 3t - 8, y = 2t^2 - 2t - 5 at the point
(2,– 1) is

A ) 22/7

B ) 6/7

C ) 7/6

D ) -6 /7

Answer:

Given curves are
x = t^2 + 3t - 8 \ and \ y = 2t^2 - 2t - 5
At point (2,-1)
t^2 + 3t - 8 = 2\\ t^2+3t-10=0\\ t^2+5t-2t-10=0\\ (t+5)(t-2) = 0\\ t = 2 \ and \ t = 5
Similarly,
2t^2-2t-5 = -1\\ 2t^2-2t-4=0\\ 2t^2-4t+2t-4=0\\ (2t+2)(t-2)=0\\ t = -1 \ and \ t = 2
The common value between two is t = 2
Hence, we find the slope of the tangent at t = 2
We know that the slope of the tangent at a given point is given by \frac{dy}{dx}
\frac{dy}{dt} = 4t - 2
\frac{dx}{dt} = 2t + 3
\left ( \frac{dy}{dx} \right )_{t=2} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}} = \frac{4t-2}{2t+3} = \frac{8-2}{4+3} = \frac{6}{7}
Hence, (B) is the correct answer

Question:21 The line y is equal to is a tangent to the curve if the value of m is
(A) 1

(B) 2

(C) 3

(D)1/2

Answer:

Standard equation of the straight line
y = mx + c
Where m is lope and c is constant
By comparing it with equation , y = mx + 1
We find that m is the slope
Now,
we know that the slope of the tangent at a given point on the curve is given by \frac{dy}{dx}
Given the equation of the curve is
y^2 = 4x
2y\frac{dy}{dx} = 4\\ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{y}
Put this value of m in the given equation
y = \frac{2}{y}.\frac{y^2}{4}+1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (\because y^2 = 4x \ and \ m =\frac{2}{y})\\ y = \frac{y}{2}+1\\ \frac{y}{2} = 1\\ y = 2
m = \frac{2}{y} = \frac{2}{2} = 1
Hence, value of m is 1
Hence, (A) is correct answer

Question:22 The normal at the point (1,1) on the curve 2y + x ^2 = 3 is
(A) x + y = 0

(B) x – y = 0

(C) x + y +1 = 0

(D) x – y = 1

Answer:

Given the equation of the curve
2y + x ^2 = 3
We know that the slope of the tangent at a point on the given curve is given by \frac{dy}{dx}
2\frac{dy}{dx} = -2x\\ \frac{dy}{dx} = -x
We know that
Slope \ of \ normal = \frac{-1}{Slope \ of \ tangent } = \frac{-1}{-x} = \frac{1}{x}
At point (1,1)
Slope = \frac{1}{1} = 1
Now, the equation of normal with point (1,1) and slope = 1

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\ y-1=1(x-1)\\ x-y = 0
Hence, the correct answer is (B)

Question:23 The normal to the curve x^2 = 4 y passing (1,2) is

(A) x + y = 3

(B) x – y = 3

(C) x + y = 1

(D) x – y = 1

Answer:

Given the equation of the curve
x^2 = 4 y
We know that the slope of the tangent at a point on the given curve is given by \frac{dy}{dx}
4\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x \\\ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x}{2}
We know that
Slope \ of \ normal = \frac{-1}{Slope \ of \ tangent } = \frac{-1}{\frac{x}{2}} = \frac{-2}{x}
At point (a,b)
Slope = \frac{-2}{a}
Now, the equation of normal with point (a,b) and Slope = \frac{-2}{a}

?
It is given that it also passes through the point (1,2)
Therefore,
2-b=\frac{-2}{a}(1-a)\\ 2a -ba = 2a -2\\ ba = 2\\b =\frac{2}{a} -(i)
It also satisfies equation x^2 = 4 y\Rightarrow b = \frac{a^2}{4} -(ii)
By comparing equation (i) and (ii)
\frac{2}{a} = \frac{a^2}{4}\\ a^3 = 8\\ a = 2
b = \frac{2}{a} = \frac{2}{2} = 1
Slope = \frac{-2}{a} = \frac{-2}{2} = -1

Now, equation of normal with point (2,1) and slope = -1

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\ y-1=-1(x-2)\\ y+x=3
Hence, correct answer is (A)

Question:24 The points on the curve 9 y^2 = x ^3 , where the normal to the curve makes equal intercepts with the axes are

A ) \left ( 4 , \pm \frac{8}{3} \right )\\\\ .\: \: \: \: \: B ) \left ( 4 , \frac{-8}{3} \right ) \\\\ . \: \: \: \: \: C) \left ( 4 , \pm \frac{3}{8} \right ) \\\\ . \: \: \: \: D ) \left ( \pm 4 , \frac{3}{8} \right )

Answer:

Given the equation of the curve
9 y^2 = x ^3
We know that the slope of the tangent at a point on a given curve is given by \frac{dy}{dx}
18y\frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2\\ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x^2}{6y}
We know that
Slope \ of \ normal = \frac{-1}{Slope \ of \ tangent } = \frac{-1}{\frac{x^2}{6y}} = \frac{-6y}{x^2}
At point (a,b)
Slope = \frac{-6b}{a^2}
Now, the equation of normal with point (a,b) and Slope = \frac{-6b}{a^2}

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\ y-b=\frac{-6b}{a^2}(x-a)\\ ya^2 - ba^2 = -6bx +6ab\\ ya^2+6bx=6ab+a^2b\\ \frac{y}{\frac{6b+ab}{a}}+\frac{x}{\frac{6a+a^2}{6}} = 1
It is given that normal to the curve makes equal intercepts with the axes
Therefore,
\frac{6b+ab}{a}=\frac{6a+a^2}{6} \\ 6b(6 + a) =a^2( 6+a)\\ a^2 = 6b
point(a,b) also satisfy the given equation of the curve
9 b^2 = a ^3\\ 9(\frac{a^2}{6})^2 = a^3\\ 9.\frac{a^4}{36} = a^3\\ a = 4
9b^2 = 4^3\\ 9b^2 =64\\ b = \pm\frac{8}{3}
Hence, The points on the curve 9 y^2 = x ^3 , where the normal to the curve makes equal intercepts with the axes are \left ( 4,\pm\frac{8}{3} \right )
Hence, the correct answer is (A)
