  • Question 1
    5 / -1

    Given, f(x) = x3 – 12x2 + 45x + 8. What is the minimum value of f(x)?

    Solution

    We have, f(x) = x3 – 12x2 + 45x + 8 ……….(1)

    Differentiating both sides of (1) with respect to x we

    f’(x) = 3x2 – 24x + 45

    3x2 – 24x + 45 = 0

    Or x2 – 8x + 15 = 0

    Or(x – 3)(x – 5) = 0

    Thus, either x – 3 = 0 i.e., x = 3 or x – 5 = 0 i.e., x = 5

    Therefore, f’(x) = 0 for x = 3 and x = 5.

    If h be a positive quantity, however small, then,

    f’(5 – h) = 3*(5 – h – 3)(5 – h – 5) = -3h(2 – h) = negative.

    f’(5 + h) = 3*(5 + h – 3)(5 + h – 5) = 3h(2 + h) = positive.

    Clearly, f’(x) changes sign from negative on the left to positive on the right of the point x = 5.

    So, f(x) has minimum at 5.

    Putting, x = 5 in (1)

    Thus, its maximum value is,

    f(3) = 53 – 12*52 + 45*5 + 8 = 58.

  • Question 2
    5 / -1

    A particle is moving in a straight line and its distance x from a fixed point on the line at any time t seconds is given by, x = t4/12 – 2t3/3 + 3t2/2 + t + 15. At what time is the velocity minimum?

    Solution

    Assume that the velocity of the particle at time t second is vcm/sec.

    Then, v = dx/dt = 4t3/12 – 6t2/3 + 6t/2 + 1

    So, v = dx/dt = t3/3 – 2t2/ + 3t + 1

    Thus, dv/dt = t2 – 4t + 3

    And d2v/dt2 = 2t – 4

    For maximum and minimum value of v we have,

    dv/dt = 0

    Or t2 – 4t + 3 = 0

    Or (t – 1)(t – 3) = 0

    Thus, t – 1 = 0 i.e., t = 1 Or t – 3 = 0 i.e., t = 3

    Now, [d2v/dt2]t = 3 = 2*3 – 4 = 2 > 0

    Thus, v is minimum at t = 3.

  • Question 3
    5 / -1

    Given, f(x) = x3 – 12x2 + 45x + 8. At which point does f(x) has its maximum?

    Solution

    We have, f(x) = x3 – 12x2 + 45x + 8 ……….(1)

    Differentiating both sides of (1) with respect to x we

    f’(x) = 3x2 – 24x + 45

    3x2 – 24x + 45 = 0

    Or x2 – 8x + 15 = 0

    Or (x – 3)(x – 5) = 0

    Thus, either x – 3 = 0 i.e., x = 3 or x – 5 = 0 i.e., x = 5

    Therefore, f’(x) = 0 for x = 3 and x = 5.

    If h be a positive quantity, however small, then,

    f’(3 – h) = 3*(3 – h – 3)(3 – h – 5) = 3h(h + 2) = positive.

    f’(3 + h) = 3*(3 + h – 3)(3 + h – 5) = 3h(h – 2) = negative.

    Clearly, f’(x) changes sign from positive on the left to negative on the right of the point x = 3.

    So, f(x) has maximum at 3.

  • Question 4
    5 / -1

    Given, f(x) = x3 – 12x2 + 45x + 8. At which point does f(x) has its minimum?

    Solution

    We have, f(x) = x3 – 12x2 + 45x + 8 ……….(1)

    Differentiating both sides of (1) with respect to x we

    f’(x) = 3x2 – 24x + 45

    3x2 – 24x + 45 = 0

    Or x2 – 8x + 15 = 0

    Or (x – 3)(x – 5) = 0

    Thus, either x – 3 = 0 i.e., x = 3 or x – 5 = 0 i.e., x = 5

    Therefore, f’(x) = 0 for x = 3 and x = 5.

    If h be a positive quantity, however small, then,

    f’(5 – h) = 3*(5 – h – 3)(5 – h – 5) = -3h(2 – h) = negative.

    f’(5 + h) = 3*(5 + h – 3)(5 + h – 5) = 3h(2 + h) = positive.

    Clearly, f’(x) changes sign from negative on the left to positive on the right of the point x = 5.

    So, f(x) has minimum at 5.

  • Question 5
    5 / -1

    At which point does f(x) = |x – 1| has itslocal minimum?

    Solution

    The given function is f(x) = ∣x − 1∣, x ∈ R.

    It is known that a function f is differentiable at point x = c in its domain if both

    Since the left and right hand limits of f at x = 1 are not equal, f is not differentiable at x = 1.

    As, LHS = -1 and RHS = 1, it is clear that, f’(1) < 0 on the left of x = 1 and f’(x) > 0 on the right of the point x = 1.

    Hence, f’(x) changes sign, from negative on the left to positive on the right of the point x = 1.

    Therefore, f(x) has a local minima at x = 1.

  • Question 6
    5 / -1

    A particle is moving in a straight line and its distance x from a fixed point on the line at any time t seconds is given by, x = t4/12 – 2t3/3 + 3t2/2 + t + 15. What is the minimum velocity?

    Solution

    Assume that the velocity of the particle at time t second is vcm/sec.

    Then, v = dx/dt = 4t3/12 – 6t2/3 + 6t/2 + 1

    So, v = dx/dt = t3/3 – 2t2/ + 3t + 1

    Thus, dv/dt = t2 – 4t + 3

    And d2v/dt2 = 2t – 4

    For maximum and minimum value of v we have,

    dv/dt = 0

    Or t2 – 4t + 3 = 0

    Or (t – 1)(t – 3) = 0

    Thus, t – 1 = 0 i.e., t = 1 Or t – 3 = 0 i.e., t = 3

    Now, [d2v/dt2]t = 3 = 2*3 – 4 = 2 > 0

    Thus, v is minimum at t = 3.

    Putting t = 3 in (1) we get,

    33/3 – 2(3)2/ + 3(3) + 1

    = 1 cm/sec.

  • Question 7
    5 / -1

    What will be the equation of the normal to the parabola y2 = 5x that makes an angle 45° with the x axis?

    Solution

    The equation of the given parabola is, y2 = 5x ……….(1)

    Differentiating both sides of (1) with respect to y, we get,

    2y = 5(dx/dy)

    Or dx/dy = 2y/5

    Take any point P((5/4)t2, (5/2)t). Then, the normal to the curve (1) at P is,

    -[dx/dy]P = -(2*5t/2)/5 = -t

    By the question, slope of the normal to the curve (1) at P is tan45°.

    Thus, -t = 1

    Or t = -1

    So, the required equation of normal is,

    y – 5t/2 = -t(x – 5t2/4)

    Simplifying further we get,

    4(x – y) = 15

  • Question 8
    5 / -1

    What will be the equation of the normal to the parabola y2 = 3x which is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 4?

    Solution

    Given, y2 = 3x ……….(1) and y = 2x + 4 ……….(2)

    Differentiating both sides of (1) with respect to y we get,

    2y = 3(dx/dy)

    Or dx/dy = 2y/3

    Let P (x1, y1) be any point on the parabola (1). Then the slope of the normal to the parabola (1) at point P is

    -[dx/dy]P = -2y1/3

    If the normal at the point P to the parabola (1) be perpendicular to the line (2) then we must have,

    -2y1/3*2 = -1

    Since the slope of the line (2) is 2

    Or y1 = 3/4

    Since the point P(x1, y1) lies on (1) hence,

    y12 = 3x1

    As, y1 = 3/4, so, x1 = 3/16

    Therefore, the required equation of the normal is

    y – y1 = -(2y1)/3*(x – x1)

    Putting the value of x1 and y1 in the above equation we get,

    16x + 32y = 27.

  • Question 9
    5 / -1

    What will be the equation of the circle which touches the line x + 2y + 5 = 0 and passes through the point of intersection of the circle x2 + y2 = 1 and x2 + y2 + 2x + 4y + 1 = 0?

    Solution

    The equation of any circle through the points of intersection of the given circle is,

    x2 + y2 + 2x + 4y + 1 + k(x2 + y2 – 1) = 0

    x2 + y2 + 2x(1/(k + 1)) + 2*2y/(k + 1) + (1 – k)/(1 + k) = 0

    Clearly, the co-ordinates of the center of the circle (1) are, (-1/(1 + k), -2/(1 + k)) and its radius,

    = √[(1/(1 + k))2 + (2/(1 + k))2 – ((1 – k)]/(1 + k))

    = √(4 + k2)/(1 + k)

    Clearly, the line x + 2y + 5 = 0 is tangent to the circle (1), hence, the perpendicular distance of the line from the center of the circle = radius of the circle

    ± (-1/(1 + k))– 2(2/(1 + k)) + 5/ √(12 + 22) = √(4 + k2)/(1 + k)

    Or ±(5k/√5) = √(4 + k2)

    Or 5k2 = 4 + k2

    Or 4k2 = 4

    Or k = 1 [as, k ≠ -1]

    Putting k = 1 in (1), equation of the given circle is,

    x2 + y2 + x + 2y = 0

  • Question 10
    5 / -1

    If the curves x2/a + y2/b = 1 and x2/c + y2/d = 1 intersect at right angles, then which one is the correct relation?

    Solution

    We have, x2/a + y2/b = 1 ……….(1)

    and

    x2/c + y2/d = 1 ……….(2)

    Let, us assume curves (1) and (2) intersect at (x1, y1). Then

    x12/a + y12/b = 1 ……….(3)

    and

    x12/c + y12/d = 1 ……….(4)

    Differentiating both side of (1) and (2) with respect to x we get,

    2x/a + 2y/b(dy/dx) = 0

    Or dy/dx = -xb/ya

    Let, m1 and m2 be the slopes of the tangents to the curves (1) and (2) respectively at the point (x1, y1); then,

    m1 = [dy/dx](x1, y1) = -(bx1/ay1) and m2 = [dy/dx](x1, y1) = -(dx1/cy1)

    By question as the curves (1) and (2) intersects at right angle, so, m1m2 = -1

    Or -(bx1/ay1)*-(dx1/cy1) = -1

    Or bdx12 = -acy12 ……….(5)

    Now, (3) – (4) gives,

    bdx12(c – a) = acy12(d – b) ……….(6)

    Dividing (6) by (5) we get,

    c – a = d – b

    Or a – b = c – d.
