RBSE Maths Chapter 7: Exercise 7.1 Textbook Important Questions and Solutions

Question 1: Differentiate the following function with respect to x.

tan(2x + 3)

Solution:

Let the given function be y = tan (2x + 3)

Differentiating with respect to x,

dy/dx = d/dx (tan(2x + 3))

= sec2(2x + 3) d/dx(2x + 3)

= sec2(2x + 3).(2 × 1 + 0)

= 2 sec2(2x + 3)

Question 2: Differentiate the following function with respect to x.

Differentiating with respect to x,

dy/dx = d/dx sin [cos(x2)]

= cos(cos x2). (- sin x2) d/dx (x2)

= -cos(cos x2) (sin x2). 2x

= -2x (sin x2) cos(cos x2)

Question 3: Differentiate the following function with respect to x.

(a) sin-1{2x √(1 – x2)}, -1/√2 < x < 1/√2

(b) sin-1(3x – 4x3) x ∈ (-1/2, 1/2)

Solution:

(a) sin-1{2x √(1 – x2)}, -1/√2 < x < 1/√2

Let y = sin-1{2x √(1 – x2)}

Substitute x = sin θ

y = sin-1{2 sin θ √(1 – sin2θ)}

= sin-1(2 sin θ cos θ)

= sin-1(sin 2θ)

= 2θ

y = 2 sin-1(x)

Differentiate with respect to x,

dy/dx = d/dx (2 sin-1x)

2 d/dx(sin-1x)

= 2[1/√(1 – x2)]

dy/dx = 2/√(1 – x2)

(b) sin-1(3x – 4x3) x ∈ (-1/2, 1/2)

Let y = sin-1(3x – 4x3)

Substituting x = sin θ,

θ = sin-1x

Thus, y = sin-1(3 sin θ – 4 sin3θ)

= sin-1(sin 3θ)

= 3θ

= 3 sin-1x

Differentiate with respect to x,

dy/dx = d/dx (3 sin-1x)

= 3 d/dx (sin-1x)

= 3[1/√(1 – x2)]

dy/dx = 3/√(1 – x2)

Question 4: Differentiate the following function with respect to x.

(a) sec-1[1/(2x2 – 1)]; x ∈ (0, 1/√2)

(b) cos-1[(1 – x2)/ (1 + x2)]; x ∈ (0, ∞)

Solution:

(a) sec-1[1/(2x2 – 1)]; x ∈ (0, 1/√2)

Let y = sec-1[1/(2x2 – 1)]

Substituting x = cos θ,

y = sec-1[1/(2 cos2θ – 1)]

= sec-1(1/ cos 2θ)

= sec-1(sec 2θ)

y = 2θ

y = 2 cos-1x

Differentiating with respect to x,

dy/dx = d/dx (2 cos-1x)

= 2 d/dx(cos-1x)

= 2[-1/√(1 – x2)]

dy/dx = -2/√(1 – x2)

(b) cos-1[(1 – x2)/ (1 + x2)]; x ∈ (0, ∞)

Let y = cos-1[(1 – x2)/ (1 + x2)]

Substituting x = tan θ

y = cos-1[(1 – tan2θ)/ (1 + tan2θ)

= cos-1(cos 2θ)

y = 2θ

y = 2 tan-1x

Differentiating with respect to x,

dy/dx = d/dx(2 tan-1x)

= 2[1/(1 + x2)]

dy/dx = 2/(1 + x2)

RBSE Maths Chapter 7: Exercise 7.3 Textbook Important Questions and Solutions

Question 5: Find dy/dx.

(a) 2x + 3y = sin y

(b) x2 + xy + y2 = 200

Solution:

(a) 2x + 3y = sin y

Differentiate with respect to x on both sides,

d/dx(2x) + d/dx(3y) = d/dx(sin y)

2(1) + 3(dy/dx) = cos y (dy/dx)

2 = (cosy – 3) dy/dx

Therefore, dy/dx = 2/(cos y – 3)

(b) x2 + xy + y2 = 200

Differentiate with respect to x on both sides,

d/dx (x2) + d/dx (xy) + d/dx (y2) = d/dx(200)

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

(x + 2y)dy/dx = -2x – y

Therefore, dy/dx = -(2x + y)/(x + 2y)

Question 6: Find dy/dx.

(a) √x + √y = √a

(b) tan(x + y) + tan(x – y) = 4

Solution:

(a) √x + √y = √a

Differentiating with respect to x,

d/dx(√x) + d/dx(√y) = d/dx(√a)

[1/(2√x)].1 + [1/(2√y)] dy/dx = 0

[1/(2√y)] dy/dx = -1/(2√x)

dy/dx = -(√y)/(√x)

Therefore, dy/dx = -√(y/x)

(ii) tan(x + y) + tan(x – y) = 4

Differentiating with respect to x,

d/dx [tan(x + y)] + d/dx [tan(x – y)] = d/dx (4)

sec2(x + y) d/dx(x + y) + sec2(x – y)d/dx(x – y) = 0

sec2(x + y) [1 + (dy/dx)] + sec2(x – y)[1 – (dy/dx)] = 0

sec2(x + y) + sec2(x + y)dy/dx + sec2(x – y) – sec2(x – y)dy/dx = 0

[sec2(x + y) – sec2(x – y)]dy/dx = -sec2(x + y) – sec2(x – y)

-[sec2(x + y) – sec2(x + y)] dy/dx = -[sec2(x + y) + sec2(x – y)]

Therefore, dy/dx = [sec2(x + y) + sec2(x – y)]/ [sec2(x – y) – sec2(x + y)]

RBSE Maths Chapter 7: Exercise 7.4 Textbook Important Questions and Solutions

Question 7: Find dy/dx, when x = log t, y = et + cos t.

Solution:

Given,

x = log t, y = et + cos t

Consider, x = log t

Differentiating with respect to t on both sides,

dx/dt = d/dt (log t)

dx/dt = 1/t

Now, y = et + cos t

Differentiating with respect to t on both sides,

dy/dt = d/dt(et) + d/dt(cos t)

dy/dt = et – sin t

dy/dt = (dy/dt)/ (dx/dt)

= (et – sin t)/ (1/t)

= t(et – sin t)

Therefore, dy/dt = t(et – sin t)

Question 8: Find dy/dx, when x = a cos θ, y = b sin θ.

Solution:

Given,

x = a cos θ, y = b sin θ

Consider, x = a cos θ

Differentiating with respect to θ on both sides,

dx/dθ = d/dθ(a cos θ)

dx/dθ = -a sin θ

Now, y = b sin θ

Differentiating with respect to θ on both sides,

dy/dθ = d/dθ(b sin θ)

dy/dθ = b cos θ

dy/dx = (dy/dθ)/ (dx/dθ)

= (b cos θ)/ (-a sin θ)

= -(b/a) cot θ

Therefore, dy/dx = -(b/a) cot θ

Question 9: Find d2y/dx2, when y = x2 + 3x + 2.

Solution:

Given,

y = x2 + 3x + 2

Differentiating with respect to x on both sides,

dy/dx = d/dx(x2 + 3x + 2)

dy/dx = 2x + 3

Again, differentiating with respect to x on both sides,

d/dx(dy/dx) = d/dx(2x + 3)

d2y/dx2 = 2(1) + 0

Therefore, d2y/dx2 = 2

Question 10: If y = a cos nx + b sin nx, then prove that d2y/dx2 + n2y = 0.

Solution:

Given,

y = a cos nx + b sin nx

Differentiating with respect to x on both sides,

dy/dx = d/dx(a cos nx + b sin nx)

= -na sin nx + nb cos nx

Again, differentiating with respect to x on both sides,

d/dx(dy/dx) = d/dx(-na sin nx + nb cos nx)

d2y/dx2 = -n2a cos nx – n2b sin nx

= -n2(a cos nx + b sin nx)

= -n2y (from the given)

Therefore, d2y/dx2 + n2y = 0

Hence proved.

RBSE Maths Chapter 7: Exercise 7.6 Textbook Important Questions and Solutions

Question 11: Verify Rolle’s theorem for the functions given below.

f(x) = cos 2x; x ∈ [0, π]

Solution:

Given function

f(x) = cos 2x, x ∈ [0, π]

⇒ f(x) = cos 2x is defined in the interval [0, π].

We know that the cosine is continuous in this domain.

Thus, it is continuous in [0, π].

Therefore, f'(x) = -2 sin 2x exists wherein x ∈ (0, π)

⇒ f(x) is differentiable in (0, π).

Now,

f(0) = cos 0 = 1

f(π) = cos 2π = 1

∴ f(0) = f(π) = 1

Thus, all the conditions of Rolle’s theorem are satisfied hence, at least one point c such that c ∈ (0, π) and f'(c) = 0.

f'(c) = 0

-2 sin 2c = 0

sin 2c = 0

2c = π

c = π/2 is an element of (0,π)

∴ c = π/2 ∈ (0,π) such that f'(c) = 0

Hence, for c = π/2, Rolle’s theorem is satisfied.

Question 12: Verify Lagrange’s mean value theorem for the function given below.

f(x) = x2 – 3x + 2; x ∈ [-2, 3]

Solution:

Given function is:

f(x) = x2 – 3x + 2, x ∈ [- 2, 3]

Thus, f(x) is continuous in the interval [-2, 3].

Hence, f'(x) is finite and exists in (-2, 3).

That means, f(x) is differentiable in (- 2, 3).

Therefore, f(x) satisfies both the conditions of Langrange’s mean value theorem.

f'(c) = [f(b) – f(a)]/(b – a)

2c – 3 = [f(3) – f(-2)]/ [3 – (-2)]

2c – 3 = (2 – 12)/5

2c – 3 = -10/2

2c – 3 = -2

2c = -2 + 3

2c = 1

c = 1/2

Thus, c = 1/2 ∈ (-2, 3)

Hence, the Langrange’s mean value theorem is satisfied.

RBSE Maths Chapter 7: Additional Important Questions and Solutions

Question 1: Differentiate log (x/ax) with respect to x.

Solution:

Let the given function be:

y = log(x/ax)

y = log x – log ax

y = log x – x log a

Differentiating with respect to x on both sides,

dy/dx = d/dx(log x) – d/dx(x log a)

dy/dx = (1/x) – log a (1)

Therefore, dy/dx = (1/x) – log a

Question 2: If sin y = x sin(a + y), then prove that dy/dx = sin2(a + y)/sin a.

Solution:

Given function is:

sin y = x sin(a + y)

x = sin y/sin(a + y)

Differentiating with respect to y on both sides,

dx/dy = [sin(a + y). cos y – sin y. cos(a + y)]/ sin2(a + y)

dx/dy = [sin(a + y – y)]/ sin2(a + y)

dx/dy = sin a/sin2(a + y)

Therefore, dy/dx = sin2(a + y)/sin a
