  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    The curve given by the equation $$y-e^{xy}+x=0$$ has a vertical tangent at the point
    Solution
    $$y-e^{xy}+x=0$$ 

    $$\therefore \dfrac{dy}{dx}-e^{xy}\left ( x\dfrac{dy}{dx}+y \right )+1=0$$ 

    $$\Rightarrow \dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{-1+ye^{xy}}{1-xe^{xy}}$$

    $$\therefore $$ if the tangent is vertical at $$(x,y),xe^{xy}=1$$ 1 which is possible only if $$x=1,y=0.$$ 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    The sum of the intercepts made on the axes of coordinates by any tangent to the curve $$\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}=2$$ is equal to

    Solution

    Curve equation $$\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}=2   \Rightarrow   x > 0,  y>0$$
    $$\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}+\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{y}}\dfrac{dy}{dx}=0$$
    $$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\sqrt{\dfrac {y}{x}}$$
    and since in question its asking in general not for a particular point on curve.  Hence it we find it for any point on curve then it will be true for any point.
    So as use can see (1, 1) lies on curve
    So, $$\dfrac{dy}{dx} \int_{1, 1}=-1$$
    So tangent equation at (1, 1) is $$y= (-1)x+c$$
    and it will pass through (1, 1)
    So, $$c=2$$
    tangent equation : $$y= -x +2$$
    $$x+y=2$$
    $$\dfrac{x}{2}+\dfrac{y}{2} =1$$
    So  x - intercept $$=2$$
    y- intercept $$=2$$
    So sum $$=4$$

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    lf $$\alpha = \cos 10^{\circ} - \sin 10^{\circ}, \beta = \cos 45^{\circ} - \sin 45^{\circ}, \gamma = \cos 70^{\circ} - \sin 70^{\circ}$$ then the descending order of $$\alpha, \beta, \gamma$$ is
    Solution
    let $$f(x) = \cos {x} - \sin {x}$$
    $$f'(x) = -(\sin {x} + \cos {x}) < 0$$ for $$ 0 < x < \dfrac {\Pi}{2}$$
    so $$f(x)$$ is a decreasing function.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    lf the curve $$y=px^{2}+qx+r$$ passes through the point (1, 2) and the line $$y=x$$ touches it at the origin, then the values of $$p,\ q$$ and $$r$$ are
    Solution
    $$2=p+q+r$$
    $$r=0$$
    $$\dfrac{dx}{dy}|_{x=0}=1$$
    $$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=2px+q$$
    $$q=1$$
    $$2=p+1+0$$
    $$p=1$$
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    If there is an error of $$k%$$ in measuring the edge of a cube, then the percent error in estimating its volume is
    Solution
    Volume of cube$$V=x^{3}$$
    $$\displaystyle \frac{dV}{dx}=3x^{2}$$
    Percentage error in measuring side $$= k%$$
    $$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{\delta x}{x}=\frac{k}{100}$$
    $$\displaystyle {\delta{x}}=\frac{xk}{100}$$
    Approximate error in estimating volume $$=dV=(\frac{dV}{dx}){\delta x}=3x^{2}\frac{xk}{100}$$
    Percentage error in estimating volume$$=\frac{dV}{V}\times 100=3k$$
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    At what points of curve $$y= \displaystyle \frac {2}{3} x^3 + \displaystyle \frac{1}{2} x^2 $$, the tangent makes equal angle with the axis
    Solution
    Given equation of curve is 
    $$y= \dfrac {2}{3} x^3 + \dfrac{1}{2} x^2 $$
    $$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=2x^{2}+x$$
    Since ,the tangent makes equal angle with x-axis,
    $$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=1$$
    $$\Rightarrow 2x^{2}+x-1=0$$
    $$\Rightarrow x=-1,\dfrac{1}{2}$$
    At $$ x=-1\Rightarrow y=-\dfrac{1}{6}$$
    At $$ x=\dfrac{1}{2}\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{5}{24}$$
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    If the circle $$x^{2}+y^{2}+2gx+2fy+c=0$$ is touched by $$y=x$$ at $$P$$ such that 
    $$OP=6\sqrt{2},$$ then the value of $$c$$ is
    Solution
    Let the point of contact be $$x_{1},y_{1}$$
    However it lies on the line $$y=x$$
    Hence
    $$x_{1}=y_{1}$$
    Applying distance formula, we get
    $$\sqrt{x_{1}^2+x_{1}^2}=6\sqrt{2}$$
    $$2x_{1}^2=72$$
    $$x_{1}=6$$ ...(positive, since it lies on y=x.)
    Differentiating the equation of circle with respect to x.
    $$2x+2yy'+2g+2fy'=0$$
    Now $$y'=1$$ since $$y'$$ is the slope of the line $$y=x$$.
    By substituting, we get
    $$x+y=-(g+f)$$
    Now $$x_{1}=y_{1}=6$$
    Hence
    $$12=-(g+f)$$ ...(i)
    Substituting $$x=y=6$$ in the equation of the circle, we get
    $$36+36+2(6)(g+f)+c=0$$
    $$72+12(-12)+c=0$$
    $$c=144-72$$
    $$c=72$$

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    The number of tangents to the curve $$x^{3/2} + y^{3/2}= 2a^{3/2}$$, $$a>0$$, which are equally inclined to the axes, is
    Solution
    For a tangent to be equally inclined to the axes, the slope of the tangent should be 1.
    Thus 
    $$y'=1$$.
    Now 
    $$x^{\frac{3}{2}}+y^{\frac{3}{2}}=2a^{\frac{3}{2}}$$.

    $$\dfrac{3}{2}(\sqrt{x})+\dfrac{3}{2}(\sqrt{y})=0$$

    $$\sqrt{x}=-\sqrt{y}$$

    $$x=y$$
    $$x_{1}=y_{1}$$

    Substituting int he above equation, we get 
    $$2x^{\frac{3}{2}}=2a^{\frac{3}{2}}$$

    $$x=y=a$$.
    Hence the tangent touches the curve at $$(a,a)$$.
    Thus we get only one tangent, satisfying that criteria.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    If $$m$$ is the slope of a tangent to the curve $$e^y= 1+x^2$$, then 
    Solution
    $$e^{y}=1+x^{2}$$
    $$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{2x}{1+x^{2}}$$
    So $$|m|=|\dfrac{2x}{x^{2}+1}| $$
    Now, since $$x^{2}\ge 0$$
    $$\Rightarrow x^{2}+1 \ge 1$$
    $$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{ x^{2}+1} \le 1$$
    $$\Rightarrow  \dfrac{2x}{ x^{2}+1} \le 1$$
    $$ |m| \le 1$$

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    If at each point of the curve $$y=x^3-ax^2 +x+1$$, the tangent is inclined at an acute angle with the positive direction of the $$x$$-axis, then
    Solution
    $$y=x^3-ax^2 +x+1$$
    $$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=3x^{2}-2ax+1$$
    Since, the tangent is inclined at an acute angle with the positive direction of x-axis.
    $$\dfrac{dy}{dx}>0$$
    $$\Rightarrow 3x^{2}-2ax+1>0$$
    $$\Rightarrow D<0$$
    $$\Rightarrow 4(a^2-3)<0$$
    $$\Rightarrow (a-\sqrt{3})(a+\sqrt{3})<0$$
    $$\Rightarrow -\sqrt{3}<a<\sqrt{3}$$
