y=tan1(tanx)[π2<x<0]y=x[tan1(tanx)=x]
Differentiate it w.r.t x, we get
dydx=d(x)dxdydx=1 for x(π2,0)


Differentiation exercise Very short answers question 16

Answer:
The value of dydx at x=e is 2ee
Hint:
Taking logarithm on both sides.
Given:

Taking logarithm on both sides.
logy=xlogx
Differentiating with respect to x on both sides.,
1ydydx=x1x+1.logx
=1+logxdydx=y(1+logx)xx(1+logx)
So at x=e,
dydx=ee(1+loge)=ee(1+1)=2ee

=12(tanx+cotx)=12[sinxcosx+cosxsinx]
=12[sin2x+cos2xsinxcosx][sin2x+cos2x=1]
=12×2sin2x=cosec2x[sin2x=2sinxcosx]


Differentiation exercise Very short answers question 20

Answer:
dydx=0, for all xR
Hint:
1<1x21+x21 holds for all xR
Given:
y=sin1(1x21+x2)+cos1(1x21+x2)
Solution:

1<1x21+x21 holds for all xR
So,
y=sin1(1x21+x2)+cos1(1x21+x2)=π2; for all xR
sin1m+cos1m=π2,m(1,1)
Hence,
dydx=0, for all xR


Differentiation exercise Very short answers question 21

Answer:
dydx={0,x0} does not exist for x<0
Hint:
changing sec1(x+1x1) into cos1(x1x+1)
Given:
y=sec1(x+1x1)+sin1(x+1x1)
Solution:

y=sec1(x+1x1)+sin1(x+1x1)y=cos1(x1x+1)+sin1(x+1x1)
Which exists for
1(x1x+1)1 and is equal to π2
Now,
x1x+11
x1x+110x1x+1x+1x+102x+10
x+1>0x>1.. (i) 
Also,
x1x+11x1x+1+10
x1x+1+x+1x+102xx+10x0 or x<1(ii)
Comparing equations (i) and (ii) we understand that the condition satisfying both inequalities is x0. So, for x0
y=cos1(x1x+1)+sin1(x+1x1)=π2, which is a constant
So,
dydx={0,x0} does not exist for x<0


Differentiation exercise Very short answers question 22

Answer: The value of dydx=1(1x)2
Hint:
we replace 1+x+x2+ by 11x
Given:
|x|<1 and y=1+x+x2+
Solution:

Since |x|<1,
y=1+x+x2+=11xdydx=1(1x)21
dydx=1(1x)2


Differentiation exercise Very short answers question 23

Answer:
1
Hint:
Using dudv=dudxdvdx
Given:
u=sin1(2x1+x2) and v=tan1(2x1+x2) where 1<x<1
Solution:
u=sin1(2x1+x2) ..............(i)
Put x=tanθ
u=sin1(2tanθ1+tan2θ)
u=sin1(sin2θ)[2tanθ1+tan2θ=sin2θ]
u=2θ[sin1(sinθ)=θ]
u=2tan1x[θ=tan1x]
Differentiating it w.r.t x we get
dudx=21+x2
Again we have,
v=tan1(2x1x2) Put x=tanθv=tan1(2tanθ1tan2θ)
v=tan1(tan2θ)[tan2θ=2tanθ1tan2θ]
v=2θ[tan1(tanθ)=θ]
v=2tan1x[θ=tan1x]
Differentiating it w.r.t x, we get
dvdx=21+x2
now,
dudv=dudxdvdx=2(1+x2)2(1+x2)dudv=1


Differentiation exercise Very short answers question 24

Answer:
The value of f(1) is 0
Hint:
Using the chain rule of differentiation.
Given:
f(x)=log{u(x)v(x)},u(1)=v(1) and u(1)=v(1)=2
Solution:

Using the chain rule of differentiation
f(x)=1u(x)v(x)v(x)u(x)v(x)u(x)(v(x))2
f(x)=v(x)u(x)v(x)u(x)u(x)v(x)
Putting x=1
f(1)=v(1)u(1)v(1)u(1)u(1)v(1)
=2v(1)2u(1)u(1)v(1)
Since,
u(1)=v(1)2v(1)2v(1)=0 i.e, f(1)=0


Differentiation exercise Very short answers question 25

Answer:
The value of dydx=1x,x0
Hint:

Hint:

Differentiating both sides with respect to x.
Given:
y=logcosex
Solution:

y=logcosex
Differentiating both sides with respect to x.
dydx=d{log(cosex)}dx
dydx=1cosexd(cosex)dexdexdx(dlogxdx=1x)
=1cosex(sinex)ex(dexdx=ex)
=sinexcosexex=tanexex=extanex
