Very Short Answer on Differentiation
OP Malhotra ISC Class 11 Maths Solutions
Que-1: Limit x→-1 of (x−2)(x+5) / (x²−5x+6)
Sol: Factor denominator: (x−2)(x−3).
Cancel (x−2).
Limit = (x+5)/(x−3) at x = -1
⇒ (-1+5)/(-1−3)
= 4/(-4) = -1
Que-2: Limit x→5 of f(x), where f(x) = |x| − 5
Sol: For x→5, |x| = x.
So f(x) = x−5
⇒ limit = 5−5 = 0
Que-3: Limit x→0 of [(x+1)⁵ − 1] / x
Sol: Use expansion: (1+x)⁵ = 1 + 5x + …
So numerator ≈ 5x
Limit = 5x/x = 5
Que-4: Limit x→0 of sin(px)/x
Sol: Standard result: sin(ax)/x = a
So answer = p
Que-5: Limit x→1 of (x^(1/3) − 1)/(x^(1/6) − 1)
Sol: Put x = t⁶
⇒ numerator = t² −1,
denominator = t−1
Limit = (t²−1)/(t−1)
= t+1 → at t=1
⇒ 2
Que-6: Limit x→π of tan x / (x − π)
Sol: tan x ≈ (x−π) near π
So limit = 1
Que-7: Limit x→3 of x / [x]
Sol: [x] = greatest integer
As x→3⁻ ⇒ [x]=2 ⇒ value = 3/2
As x→3⁺ ⇒ [x]=3 ⇒ value = 3/3 =1
Left ≠ Right ⇒ limit does not exist
Que-8: d/dx (4x³ − 7x + 20)
Sol: Differentiate termwise
= 12x² − 7
Que-9: d/dx [(x−1)(x+2)]
Sol: Expand: x² + x −2
Derivative = 2x + 1
Que-10: d/dx (x + 1/x)
Sol: = 1 − 1/x²
Que-11: d/dx [(x−2)/(x−3)], x ≠ 3
Sol: Quotient rule
= [(x−3) − (x−2)]/(x−3)²
= −1/(x−3)²
Que-12: d/dx (x cos x)
Sol: Product rule
= cos x − x sin x
Que-13: d/dx (sin x cos x)
Sol: = cos²x − sin²x
= cos 2x
Que-14: Derivative of sin(3x+5) − 7cos x + 12
Sol: = 3cos(3x+5) + 7sin x
Que-15: Derivative of 5 tan(1/5 x + 7)
Sol: = 5 sec²(1/5 x +7) × (1/5)
= sec²(1/5 x +7)
Evaluate the following limits
Que-16: Limit x→1/2 of (4x² −1)/(2x−1)
Sol: Factor: (2x−1)(2x+1)/(2x−1)
Cancel ⇒ 2x+1 = 2(1/2)+1 = 2
Que-17: Limit x→0 of (x sec x)
Sol: sec x →1, so x·1 → 0
Que-18: Limit x→0 of cos x / (π − x)
Sol: cos 0 =1 ⇒ 1/π
Que-19: Limit x→π of sin x /(π − x)
Sol: sin x ≈ (x−π)(−1)
So limit = 1
Que-20: Limit x→0 of sin(ax)/(bx)
Sol: Multiply and divide by x:
(sin(ax)/ax) × (a/b)
We know standard limit:
lim x→0 (sin x / x) = 1
So,
= 1 × (a/b) = a/b
Que-21: Limit x→∞ of (2x² + 7x + 5)/(4x² + 3x −1)
Sol: Divide numerator and denominator by x²:
= (2 + 7/x + 5/x²) / (4 + 3/x − 1/x²)
As x → ∞, all terms with x in denominator → 0
= 2/4 = 1/2
Que-22: Limit h→0 of (√(x+h) − √x)/h
Sol: Rationalize numerator:
= [(√(x+h) − √x)(√(x+h) + √x)] / [h(√(x+h) + √x)]
= [(x+h − x)] / [h(√(x+h) + √x)]
= h / [h(√(x+h) + √x)]
Cancel h:
= 1 / (√(x+h) + √x)
Now h → 0:
= 1 / (2√x)
Que-23: Limit x→0 of (3²ˣ −1)/(2³ˣ −1)
Sol: Use formula: lim (ax − 1)/x = ln a
Let numerator = 32x = (3²)x = 9x
So,
(32x − 1)/(23x − 1)
= (9x − 1)/(8x − 1)
= (ln 9)/(ln 8) = (2 ln 3)/(3 ln 2)
Que-24: Limit x→0 of [(x+2)^(1/3) − 2^(1/3)]/x
Sol: This is of form f(x) − f(a) / (x − a), so use derivative at x = 0
Let f(x) = (x+2)1/3
f'(x) = (1/3)(x+2)-2/3
At x = 0:
f'(0) = 1 / [3 · 22/3]
Differentiate the following w.r.t. x,
Que-25: Differentiate (√x + 1/√x)²
Sol: First expand:
(√x + 1/√x)² = x + 2 + 1/x
Now differentiate:
d/dx (x + 2 + 1/x) = 1 − 1/x²
Que-26: Differentiate x⁻⁴(3 − 4x⁻⁵)
Sol: Using Product Rule: (uv)’ = u’v + uv’
u = x-4, v = (3 − 4x-5)
u’ = −4x-5
v’ = 20x-6
∴ dy/dx = −4x-5(3 − 4x-5) + x-4(20x-6)
= −12x-5 + 16x-10 + 20x-10
= −12x-5 + 36x-10
Que-27: Differentiate sin⁴x
Sol: Let y = (sin x)4
Using Chain Rule:
dy/dx = 4(sin x)3 × cos x
= 4 sin³x cos x
Que-28: Differentiate [(3x+4)/(4x+3)] (x − 3/4)
Sol: Using Product Rule:
Let u = (3x+4)/(4x+3), v = (x − 3/4)
u’ = [ (4x+3)(3) − (3x+4)(4) ] / (4x+3)²
= (12x+9 − 12x−16)/(4x+3)²
= −7/(4x+3)²
v’ = 1
∴ dy/dx = u’v + uv’
= [−7/(4x+3)²](x − 3/4) + (3x+4)/(4x+3)
Que-29: √(x² + 1)
Sol: Differentiate using chain rule. Let y = √(x² + 1) = (x² + 1)1/2.
dy/dx = (1/2)(x² + 1)-1/2 · 2x = x / √(x² + 1).
Que-30: (3x + 5)(1 + tan x)
Sol: Use product rule: (uv)’ = u’v + uv’.
u = 3x + 5 ⇒ u’ = 3
v = 1 + tan x ⇒ v’ = sec²x
dy/dx = 3(1 + tan x) + (3x + 5)sec²x.
Que-31: x² sin x + cos 2x
Sol: Differentiate term-wise.
d/dx (x² sin x) = x² cos x + 2x sin x
d/dx (cos 2x) = -2 sin 2x
Final answer: x² cos x + 2x sin x – 2 sin 2x.
Que-32: 1 / (ax² + bx + c)
Sol: Use derivative of 1/f(x):
d/dx [1/f(x)] = -f'(x)/[f(x)]²
Here f(x) = ax² + bx + c
⇒ f'(x) = 2ax + b
So derivative = -(2ax + b)/(ax² + bx + c)².
Que-33: If f(x) = x|x|, then f'(x)
Sol: Use definition of modulus:
If x ≥ 0, f(x) = x² ⇒ f'(x) = 2x
If x < 0, f(x) = -x² ⇒ f'(x) = -2x
Thus, f'(x) = 2|x|.
Que-34: If f(x) = 2|x| + 3 sin x + 6, find right hand derivative at x = 0
Sol: For right-hand derivative, take x > 0 ⇒ |x| = x
So f(x) = 2x + 3 sin x + 6
Differentiate: f'(x) = 2 + 3 cos x
At x = 0: f'(0) = 2 + 3(1) = 5.
Que-35: If f(x) = sin 2x − cos 2x, find f'(π/6)
Sol: Differentiate:
d/dx (sin 2x) = 2 cos 2x
d/dx (cos 2x) = -2 sin 2x
So f'(x) = 2 cos 2x + 2 sin 2x
At x = π/6:
2x = π/3
f'(π/6) = 2 cos(π/3) + 2 sin(π/3)
= 2(1/2) + 2(√3/2)
= 1 + √3.
