Put x + 3 = y so that \(y \rightarrow 1 \; as \; x \rightarrow 0\)
Accordingly, \(\\ \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{(x + 3)^{5} – 3}{x} = \lim_{y \rightarrow 1}\frac{y^{5} – 3}{y – 3} \\ = \lim_{y \rightarrow 1}\frac{y^{5} – 3^{5}}{y – 3} \\ = 5.3^{5 – 1} \\ = 405 \\ ∴ \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{(x + 3)^{5} – 3}{x} = 405\)

Soln:
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ax + x \cos x}{b \sin x}\)
At x = 0, the given function has the value of 0/ 0
\(\\ Now \\ \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{ax + x \cos x}{b \sin x} = \frac{1}{b} \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\frac{x(a + \cos x)}{\sin x}\\ = \frac{1}{b} \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \left ( \frac{x}{\sin x} \right ) \times \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}(a + \cos x) \\ = \frac{1}{b} \times \frac{1}{\left ( \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} \right )} \times \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\left ( a + \cos x \right ) \\ = \frac{1}{b} \times \left ( a + \cos 0 \right ) \\ = \frac{a + 1}{b}\)

Soln:
Given function \(f(x) =\{\begin{matrix} 2x + 3 & x \leq 0\\ 3(x + 1) & x > 0 \end{matrix}\)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\left [ 2x + 3 \right ] = 2(0) + 3 = 3\)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} 3(x + 1) = 3(0 + 1) = 3\)
\(∴ \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} f(x) = 3\)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} 3(x + 1) = 3(1 + 1) = 6\)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} 3(x + 1) = 3(1 + 1) = 6\)
\(∴ \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f(x)\) = 6
Q24.

Soln:
Given function is
\(f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} x^{2} – 1, & x \leq 1 \\ -x^{2} – 1, & x \geq 1 \end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 1^{-} f(x)} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1}[x^{2} – 1] = 1^{2} – 1 = 1 – 1 = 0\)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 1^{+} f(x)} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1}[-x^{2} – 1] = -1^{2} – 1 = 1 – 1 = 0\)
We observed that \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x) \neq \lim_{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} f(x)\)
Hence, \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f(x)\) doesn’t exist.

Soln:
Given function \(f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} \frac{\left | x \right |}{x}, & x \neq 0 \\ 0, & x = 0 \end{matrix}\right.\)
When \( \left | x \right | = -x \)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0 ^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}\left [ \frac{\left | x \right |}{x} \right ]\)
= \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0 \left ( \frac{ -x }{x} \right )}\)
= \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0 \left ( -1 \right )}\)
= -1
When \( \left | x \right | = x \)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0 ^{+}} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}\left [ \frac{\left | x \right |}{x} \right ]\)
= \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0 \left [ \frac{ -x }{x} \right ]}\)
= \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0 \left ( 1 \right )}\)
= 1
We observe that \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x) \neq \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)\)
Hence, \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0 } f(x) \) doesn’t exist.
Q26.
Find \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} f(x), \; where \; f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} \frac{x}{\left | x \right |}, & x \neq 0 \\ 0, & x = 0 \end{matrix}\right.\)
Soln:
f(x) = \(\{\begin{matrix} \frac{x}{| x |}, & x \neq 0 \\ 0, & x = 0 \end{matrix}\)
When \(\left | x \right | = -x\)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}\left [ \frac{x}{\left | x \right |} \right ]\)
\( = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\left [ \frac{x}{ – x } \right ]\)
\( = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\left ( – 1 \right )\)

\( = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\left [ \frac{x}{ x } \right ]\)
\( = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\left ( 1 \right )\)
= 1
We observe that \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x) \neq \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)\)
Hence, \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0 } f(x) \) doesn’t exist.
Q27.
Find \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 5} f(x), \; where \; f(x) = \left | x \right | – 5\)
Soln:
Given function is \( f(x) = \left | x \right | – 5\)
When \( x > 0, \left | x \right | = x \)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 5^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 5^{-}}[\left | x \right | – 5]\)
= \( \lim_{x \rightarrow 5} \left ( x – 5\right )\)
= 5 – 5
= 0
When \( x > 0, \left | x \right | = x \)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 5^{+}} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 5^{+}}(\left | x \right | – 5)\)
= \( \lim_{x \rightarrow 5} \left ( x – 5\right )\)
= 5 – 5
= 0
\(∴ \lim_{x \rightarrow 5^{-}}f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 5^{+}}f(x) = 0\)
Hence, \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 5 } f(x) = 0 \)
Q28.
Suppose \(f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} a + bx, & if \; x < 1 \\ 4, & if \; x = 0, \\ b – ax, & if \; x > 1 \end{matrix}\right.\)
And \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f(x) = f(1)\) what can be the values of b and a?
Soln:
Given function
\(f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} a + bx, & if \; x < 1 \\ 4, & if \; x = 0, \\ b – ax, & if \; x > 1 \end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1}(a + bx) = a + b\)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1}(b – ax) = b – a \)
f(1) = 4
Given that \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f(x) = f(1)\).
\(∴ \lim_{x \rightarrow 1^{-}}f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1^{+}}f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f(x) = f(1)\)
=> a+ b = 4 and b – a = 4
Solving both the equations, we get a = 0 and b = 4.
Hence, b and a are 4 and 0
Q29.
A function \(f(x) = (x – a_{1})(x – a_{2}) . . . . (x – a_{n})\) is define by fixed real numbers a1, a2, . . . . an.
Find \(\lim_{x \rightarrow a_{1}}f(x)\). For some \(a \neq a_{1}, a_{2}, . . . . , a_{n} \; compute \; \lim_{x \rightarrow a_{n}} f(x)\)
Soln:
Given function = \(f(x) = (x – a_{1})(x – a_{2}) . . . (x – a_{n})\)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow a_{1}}f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow a_{1}}[(x – a_{1})(x – a_{2}) . . . (x – a_{n})]\)
\(= [\lim_{x \rightarrow a_{1}}(x – a_{1})][\lim_{x \rightarrow a_{1}}(x – a_{2})] . . . [\lim_{x \rightarrow a_{1}}(x – a_{n})]\)
\(= \left ( a_{1} – a_{1} \right ) \left ( a_{1} – a_{2} \right ) . . . . (a_{1} – a_{n}) = 0\)
\(∴ \lim_{x \rightarrow a_{1}]}f(x) = 0\)
Now, \(\lim_{x \rightarrow a_{1}]}f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow a}[\left (x – a_{1} \right )\left ( x – a_{2} \right ) . . . \left ( x – a_{n} \right )]\)
= \(= \lim_{x \rightarrow a}[ x – a_{1} ] [ x – a_{2}] . . . [x – a_{n}]\)
\(( a_{1} – a_{1}) ( a_{1} – a_{2} ) . . . . (a_{1} – a_{n})\)
\( ∴ \lim_{x \rightarrow a} f(x) =( a_{1} – a_{1})( a_{1} – a_{2}) . . . . (a_{1} – a_{n}) \)
Q30.
If \(f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} \left | x \right | + 1, & x \leq 0\\ 0, & x = 0 \\ \left | x \right | – 1, & x > 0 \end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow a} f(x)\) will exist for what values?
Soln:
Given function:
\(f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} \left | x \right | + 1, & x \leq 0\\ 0, & x = 0 \\ \left | x \right | – 1, & x > 0 \end{matrix}\right.\)
When a = 0
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{-} f(x)} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}\left ( \left | x \right | + 1 \right )\)
\(= \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\left ( – x + 1 \right )\) [if x < 0, |x| = -x]
= -0 + 1
= 1
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{+} f(x)} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}\left ( \left | x \right | – 1 \right )\)
\(= \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\left ( x – 1 \right )\) [if x > 0, |x| = x]
= 0 – 1
= -1
We have, \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x) \neq \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)\)
\(∴ \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)\) doesn’t exist.
When a < 0
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow a^{-}}f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow a^{-}}(\left | x \right | + 1)\)
\(= \lim_{x \rightarrow a}(- x + 1) \; \; \; \; [ x < a < 0 \Rightarrow \left | x \right | = – x ]\)
= -a + 1
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow a^{+}}f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow a^{+}}(\left | x \right | + 1)\)
\(= \lim_{x \rightarrow a}(- x + 1) \; \; \; \; [ x < a < 0 \Rightarrow \left | x \right | = – x ]\)
= – a + 1
\(∴ \lim_{x \rightarrow a^{-} } = \lim_{x \rightarrow a^{+} } = – a + 1\)
Hence, at x = a limit of f(x) exist, where a > 0
Thus, \(\lim_{x \rightarrow a} f(x) \; exist \; for \; all \; a \neq 0\)
Q31.

If f(x) satisfies, \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{f(x) – 2}{x^{2} – 1} = \pi\)
Soln:
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{f(x) – 2}{x^{2} – 1} = \pi\)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{\lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \left ( f(x) – 2 \right )}{ \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} \left ( x^{2} – 1 \right )} = \pi\)
\(\Rightarrow \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} (f(x) – 2) = \pi \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} (x^{2} – 1)\)
\(\Rightarrow \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} (f(x) – 2) = \pi (1^{2} – 1)\)
\(\Rightarrow \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} (f(x) – 2) = 0 \)
\(\Rightarrow \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f(x) – \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} 2 = 0 \)
\(\Rightarrow \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f(x) – 2 = 0 \)
\(∴ \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f(x) = 2\)
Q32.
If \(f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} ax^{2} + b, & x < 0 \\ bx + a, & 0 \leq x \leq 1 \\ bx^{3} + a & x > 1 \end{matrix}\right.\)
For what values of a and b does \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} f(x) \; and \; \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f(x)\) exist?
Soln:
Given function
\(f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} ax^{2} + b, & x < 0 \\ bx + a, & 0 \leq x \leq 1 \\ bx^{3} + a & x > 1 \end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{-} f(x)} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}(ax^{2} + b)\)
= a(0)2 + b
= b
\(\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0}(bx + a)\)
= b(1) + a
= a + b
\(∴ \lim_{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 1} f(x)\)
Thus, for integral values of n and m \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 1}f(x)\) exist.

Q1. Find derivative for x2 – 2 at x = 10
Soln:
Let f(x) = x2 – 2
Accordingly,
\(f'(10) = \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac {f(10 + h) – f(10)}{h}\)
\(= \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac {[(10 + h)^{2} – 2] – (10^{2} – 2)}{h}\)
\(= \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac {10^{2} + 2. 10. h + h^{2} – 2 – 10^{2} + 2}{h}\)
\(= \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac {20h + h^{2}}{h} \)
\(= \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} (20 + h) = (20 + 0) = 0 \)
Hence, derivative for x2 – 2 at x = 10 is 20

Soln:
Let f(x) = 99x,
Accordingly,
\(f'(100) = \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(100 + h) – f(100)}{h}\)
\( = \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{99(100 + h) – 99(100)}{h}\)
\( = \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{99 \times 100 + 99h – 99 \times 100}{h}\)
\( = \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{ 99h }{h}\)
\( = \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} (99h) = 99 \)
Hence, derivative for 99x at x = 100 is 99
Q3. Find derivative

\(= \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(1 + h) – 1}{h}\)
\(= \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{h}{h}\)
\(= \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} (1)\)

\(= \lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\frac{(hx + hx + h^{2} – 2h -h )} {h}\)
\(= \lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\frac{( 2hx + h^{2} – 3h )} {h}\)

\( = \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{1}{(x + h)^{2}} – \frac{1}{x^{2}}}{h}\)
\( = \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{h} \left [\frac{ x^{2} – (x + h )^{2}}{x^{2} (x + h )^{2}}\right ]\)
\( = \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{h} \left [\frac{ x^{2} – x^{2} – h^{2} – 2hx}{x^{2} (x + h )^{2}}\right ]\)
\( = \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{h} \left [\frac{ – h^{2} – 2hx}{x^{2} (x + h )^{2}}\right ]\)
\( = \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \left [\frac{ – h – 2hx}{x^{2} (x + h )^{2}}\right ]\)
\(\frac{0 – 2x}{x^{2}(x + 0)^{2}} = \frac{-2}{x^{3}}\)

Q5. Prove \(f'(1) = 100 f'(0)\)
For the function \(f(x) = \frac{x^{100}}{100} + \frac{x^{99}}{99} + … + \frac{x^{2}}{2} + x + 1\)
Soln:
Given function
\(f(x) = \frac{x^{100}}{100} + \frac{x^{99}}{99} + … + \frac{x^{2}}{2} + x + 1\)
\(\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}\left [ \frac{x^{100}}{100} + \frac{x^{99}}{99} + … + \frac{x^{2}}{2} + x + 1 \right ]\)
\(\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left ( \frac{x^{100}}{100} \right ) + \frac{d}{dx}\left ( \frac{x^{99}}{99} \right ) + … + \frac{d}{dx}\left ( \frac{x^{2}}{2} \right ) + \frac{d}{dx}\left ( x \right )+ \frac{d}{dx}\left ( 1 \right )\)
Using theorem \(\frac{d}{dx} \left ( x^{n} \right ) = n x^{n – 1}, \) we get
\(\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{100x^{99}}{100} + \frac{99x^{98}}{99} + . . . . + \frac{2x}{2} + 1 + 0\)
\(= x^{99} + x^{98} + …. + x + 1\)
∴ \(\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = x^{99} + x^{98} + …. + x + 1\)
At x = 0
f'(0) = 1
At x = 1,
f'(1) = 199 + 198 + . . . . + 1 + 1 = [1 + 1 +…… + 1 +1 ]100 terms = 1 x 100 = 100
Hence, f’(1) = 100 x f1 (0)

\(= \frac{d}{dx} \left ( x ^{n} \right ) + a\frac{d}{dx} \left ( x ^{n – 1} \right ) + a^{2} \frac{d}{dx} \left ( x ^{n – 2} \right ) + . . . + a^{n – 1}\frac{d}{dx} \left ( x \right ) + a^{n} \frac{d}{dx} \left ( 1 \right )\)
Using \(\frac{d}{dx}x^{n} = nx^{n -1}\), we have
\(f'(x) = nx^{n – 1} + a(n – 1)x^{n – 2} + a^{2} (n – 2)x^{n -3} + … + a^{ n – 1} + a^{n}(0)\)

\(\Rightarrow f(x) = x^{2} – (m + n) x + mn\)
\(f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(x^{2} – (m + n)x + mn)\)
\(= \frac{d}{dx}(x^{2}) – (m + n) \frac{d}{dx}(x) + \frac{d}{dx}(mn)\)
Using \(= \frac{d}{dx}(x^{n}) = nx^{n – 1}\), we get
\(f'(x) = 2x -(m + n) + 0 = 2x – m – n\)
(ii) Let f(x) = (ax2 + b)2
\(\Rightarrow f(x) = a^{2}x^{2} + 2abx + b^{2}\)

Using \(\frac{d}{dx}x^{n} = nx^{n – 1}\), we have
\(f’\left ( x \right ) = a ^{2}(4x^{3}) + 2ab (2x) + b^{2}(0)\)
= 4a2x3 + 4abx
= 4ax(ax2 + b)
(iii) Let \(f(x) = \frac{(x – a)}{(x – b)}\)
\(f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left (\frac{x – a}{x – b} \right )\)
Quotient rule,
\(f'(x) = \frac {(x – b)\frac{d}{dx}(x – a) – (x – a)\frac{d}{dx}(x- b)}{(x – b)^{2}}\)
\(= \frac {(x – b)(1) – (x – a)(1)}{(x – b)^{2}}\)

By Question rule
\(\Rightarrow f'(x) = \frac{(x – a) \frac{d}{dx}(x^{n} – a^{n}) – (x^{n} – a^{n})\frac{d}{dx}(x – a)}{(x – a)^{2}}\)
\(= \frac{(x -a)(nx^{n – 1} – 0) – (x^{n} – a^{n})}{(x – a)^{2}}\)
\(= \frac{nx^{n} – anx^{n – 1} – x^{n} + a^{n}}{(x – a)^{2}}\)

\( = x^{-3}( 3) + (5 + 3x) (-3x^{-4} )\)
= 3x-3 – 15x-4 – 9x-3
= -6x-3 – 15x-4
