EXERCISE 30.2 PAGE NO: 30.25

1. Differentiate each of the following from first principles:
(i) 2/x
(ii) 1/√x

(iii) 1/x³

(iv) [x² + 1]/ x

(v) [x² – 1] / x

Solution:

(i) 2/x

Given:

f (x) = 2/x

By using the formula,

∴ Derivative of f(x) = 2/x is -2x^-2

(ii) 1/√x

Given:

f (x) = 1/√x

By using the formula,

∴ Derivative of f(x) = 1/√x is -1/2 x^-3/2

(iii) 1/x³

Given:

f (x) = 1/x³

By using the formula,

∴ Derivative of f(x) = 1/x³ is -3x^-4

(iv) [x² + 1]/ x

Given:

f (x) = [x² + 1]/ x

By using the formula,

= 1 – 1/x²

∴ Derivative of f(x) = 1 – 1/x²

(v) [x² – 1] / x

Given:

f (x) = [x² – 1]/ x

By using the formula,

2. Differentiate each of the following from first principles:

(i) e^-x

(ii) e^3x

(iii) e^ax+b

Solution:

(i) e^-x

Given:

f (x) = e^-x

By using the formula,

(ii) e^3x

Given:

f (x) = e^3x

By using the formula,

(iii) e^ax+b

Given:

f (x) = e^ax+b

By using the formula,

3. Differentiate each of the following from first principles:

(i) √(sin 2x)

(ii) sin x/x

Solution:

(i) √(sin 2x)

Given:

f (x) = √(sin 2x)

By using the formula,

(ii) sin x/x

Given:

f (x) = sin x/x

By using the formula,

4. Differentiate the following from first principles:

(i) tan² x

(ii) tan (2x + 1)

Solution:

(i) tan² x

Given:

f (x) = tan² x

By using the formula,

(ii) tan (2x + 1)

Given:

f (x) = tan (2x + 1)

By using the formula,

5. Differentiate the following from first principles:

(i) sin √2x

(ii) cos √x

Solution:

(i) sin √2x

Given:

f (x) = sin √2x

f (x + h) = sin √2(x+h)

By using the formula,

(ii) cos √x

Given:

f (x) = cos √x

f (x + h) = cos √(x+h)

By using the formula,
