Inverse Trigonometric Diff.
Question. \( y = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2x - 3\sqrt{1-x^2}}{\sqrt{13}}\right) \). Find \( \frac{dy}{dx} \).
Answer: We have, \( y = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2x - 3\sqrt{1-x^2}}{\sqrt{13}}\right) \)
put \( x = \sin\theta \)
\( y = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2\sin\theta - 3\cos\theta}{\sqrt{13}}\right) \)
\( \Rightarrow y = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\sin\theta - \frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}\cdot\cos\theta\right) /> let \( \sin\alpha = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}} \) & \( \cos\alpha = \frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} \dots\dots \left\{\cos\alpha = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2\alpha} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{4}{13}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}\right\} \)
\( \Rightarrow y = \cos^{-1}(\sin\alpha\cdot\sin\theta - \cos\alpha\cdot\cos\theta) \)
\( \Rightarrow y = \cos^{-1}(-(\cos\theta\cdot\cos\alpha - \sin\theta\cdot\sin\alpha)) \)
\( \Rightarrow y = \cos^{-1}(-\cos(\theta + \alpha)) \dots\dots \{\cos A \cdot \cos B - \sin A \cdot \sin B = \cos(A + B)\} \)
\( \Rightarrow y = \pi - \cos^{-1}(\cos(\theta + \alpha)) \dots\dots \{\cos^{-1}(-x) = \pi - \cos^{-1}x\} \)
\( \Rightarrow y = \pi - (\theta + \alpha) \)
\( \Rightarrow y = \pi - \sin^{-1}x - \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\right) \quad \{\text{Constant}\} \)
Diff w.r.t x
\( \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \) Ans.
Question. \( y = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2^{x+1}}{1+4^x}\right) \). Find \( \frac{dy}{dx} \).
Answer: \( y = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2^{x+1}}{1+4^x}\right) \)
\( \Rightarrow y = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2\cdot 2^x}{1+(2^x)^2}\right) \)
Put \( 2^x = \tan\theta \)
\( \Rightarrow y = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2\tan\theta}{1+\tan^2\theta}\right) \)
\( \Rightarrow y = \sin^{-1}(\sin(2\theta)) \)
\( \Rightarrow y = 2\theta \)
\( \Rightarrow y = 2\tan^{-1}(2^x) \)
Diff w.r.t. x
\( \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = 2\cdot\frac{1}{1+(2^x)^2}\cdot 2^x \cdot \log 2 \dots\dots \left\{\frac{d}{dx}(a^x) = a^x\log a\right\} \)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2^{x+1}\cdot\log 2}{1+4^x} \) Ans
Question. \( y = \sin^{-1}(x\sqrt{1-x} - \sqrt{x}\sqrt{1-x^2}) \). Find \( \frac{dy}{dx} \).
Answer: We have, \( y = \sin^{-1}(x\sqrt{1-x} - \sqrt{x}\sqrt{1-x^2}) \)
put \( x = \sin A \) and \( \sqrt{x} = \sin B \)
\( \Rightarrow y = \sin^{-1}(\sin A\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 B} - \sin B\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 A}) \)
\( \Rightarrow y = \sin^{-1}(\sin A\cdot\cos B - \sin B\cdot\cos A) /> \( \Rightarrow y = \sin^{-1}(\sin(A - B)) \)
\( \Rightarrow y = A - B \)
\( \Rightarrow y = \sin^{-1}x - \sin^{-1}\sqrt{x} \)
Diff w.r.t. x
\( \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x}}\cdot\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} \)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} - \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x-x^2}} \) Ans.
Diff. Of A Function w.r.t. Another Function
Question. Diff. \( \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}\right) \) w.r.t. \( \cos^{-1}(2x\sqrt{1-x^2}) \).
Answer: Let \( u = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}\right) \)
put \( x = \sin\theta \)
\( \Rightarrow u = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{1 - \sin^2\theta}}{\sin\theta}\right) \)
\( \Rightarrow u = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}\right) \)
\( \Rightarrow u = \tan^{-1}(\cot\theta) \)
\( \Rightarrow u = \tan^{-1}\left(\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta\right)\right) \)
\( \Rightarrow u = \frac{\pi}{2} - \theta \)
\( \Rightarrow u = \frac{\pi}{2} - \sin^{-1}x \)
Diff w.r.t. x
\( \frac{du}{dx} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \)
let \( v = \cos^{-1}(2x\sqrt{1-x^2}) \)
put \( x = \sin\theta \)
\( \Rightarrow v = \cos^{-1}(2\sin\theta\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}) \)
\( \Rightarrow v = \cos^{-1}(2\sin\theta\cdot\cos\theta) /> \( \Rightarrow v = \cos^{-1}(\sin(2\theta)) /> \( \Rightarrow v = \cos^{-1}\left(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - 2\theta\right)\right) \)
\( \Rightarrow v = \frac{\pi}{2} - 2\theta \)
\( \Rightarrow v = \frac{\pi}{2} - 2\sin^{-1}x \)
Diff w.r.t. x
\( \frac{dv}{dx} = 0 - \frac{2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} = -\frac{2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \)
Now \( \frac{du}{dv} = \frac{du/dx}{dv/dx} \)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{du}{dv} = \frac{-\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}}{-\frac{2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}} = \frac{1}{2} \)
Question. Diff \( \sin^{-1}(2ax\sqrt{1-a^2x^2}) \) w.r.t. \( \sqrt{1-a^2x^2} \).
Answer: Let \( u = \sin^{-1}(2ax\sqrt{1-a^2x^2}) \)
put \( ax = \sin\theta \)
\( u = \sin^{-1}(2\sin\theta\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}) \)
\( \Rightarrow u = \sin^{-1}(2\sin\theta\cdot\cos\theta) \)
\( \Rightarrow u = \sin^{-1}(\sin(2\theta)) \)
\( \Rightarrow u = 2\theta \)
\( \Rightarrow u = 2\sin^{-1}(ax) \)
Diff w.r.t. x
\( \frac{du}{dx} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{1-a^2x^2}}\cdot(a) = \frac{2a}{\sqrt{1-a^2x^2}} \)
let \( v = \sqrt{1-a^2x^2} \)
Diff w.r.t. x
\( \frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1-a^2x^2}}(-2a^2x) \)
\( \frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{-a^2x}{\sqrt{1-a^2x^2}} \)
Now \( \frac{du}{dv} = \frac{du/dx}{dv/dx} = \frac{\frac{2a}{\sqrt{1-a^2x^2}}}{\frac{-a^2x}{\sqrt{1-a^2x^2}}} \)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{2a}{-a^2x} \)
\( \therefore \frac{du}{dv} = \frac{-2}{ax} \) Ans.
Question. Diff. \( \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\cos x}{1+\sin x}\right) \) w.r.t. \( \sec^{-1}x \).
Answer: Let \( u = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\cos x}{1+\sin x}\right) \)
\( \Rightarrow u = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-x\right)}{1+\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-x\right)}\right) \)
\( \Rightarrow u = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{x}{2}\right)\cdot\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{x}{2}\right)}{2\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{x}{2}\right)}\right) \)
\( \Rightarrow u = \tan^{-1}\left(\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{x}{2}\right)\right) \)
\( \Rightarrow u = \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{x}{2} \)
Diff w.r.t. x
\( \frac{du}{dx} = -\frac{1}{2} \)
let \( v = \sec^{-1}x \)
Diff w.r.t. x
\( \frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{1}{x\sqrt{x^2-1}} \)
Now \( \frac{du}{dv} = \frac{du/dx}{dv/dx} = \frac{-1/2}{\frac{1}{x\sqrt{x^2-1}}} /> \( \frac{du}{dv} = \frac{-x\sqrt{x^2-1}}{2} \) Ans.
Continuity & Differentiability
Question. If \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 1 \). Find the values of a and b. \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} 3ax + b & ; \ x > 1 \\ 11 & ; \ x = 1 \\ 5ax - 2b & ; \ x < 1 \end{cases} \]
Answer: LHL = \( (5ax - 2b) \)
Put \( x = 1 - h \) and \( h \to 0 \)
LHL = \( (5a(1 - h) - 2b) \)
\( \Rightarrow \) LHL = \( 5a - 2b \)
RHL = \( (3ax + b) \)
put \( x = 1 + h \) and \( h \to 0 \)
RHL = \( [3a(1 + h) + b] \)
\( \Rightarrow \) RHL = \( [3a + b] \)
Now \( f(1) = 11 \)
Since \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 1 \)
\( \therefore \text{LHL} = \text{RHL} = f(1) \)
\( \Rightarrow 5a - 2b = 3a + b = 11 \)
consider \( 5a - 2b = 11 \)
and \( 3a + b = 11 \)
solving these equations we get
\( a = 3 \) and \( b = 2 \)
\( \therefore f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 1 \) for \( a = 3 \) & \( b = 2 \)
Question. The function \( f(x) \) is continuous on \( [0, 8] \). Find the value of 'a' and 'b'. \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 + ax + b & ; \ 0 \le x < 2 \\ 3x + 2 & ; \ 2 \le x \le 4 \\ 2ax + 5b & ; \ 4 < x \le 8 \end{cases} \]
Answer: Since \( f(x) \) is also continuous in \( [0, 8] \)
\( \therefore f(x) \) is also continuous at \( x = 2 \) and \( x = 4 \)
continuously at \( x = 2 \)
LHL = \( (x^2 + ax + b) \)
put \( x = 2 - h \) and \( h \to 0 \)
\( \therefore \text{LHL} = [(2 - h)^2 + a(2 - h) + b] \)
LHL = \( 4 + 2a + b \)
RHL = \( (3x + 2) \)
put \( x = 2 + h \) & \( h \to 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow \text{RHL} = (3(2 + h) + 2) \)
\( \Rightarrow \text{RHL} = 8 \)
\( f(2) = 3(2) + 2 = 8 \)
we have , \( \text{LHL} = \text{RHL} = f(2) \)
\( \Rightarrow 4 + 2a + b = 8 = 8 \)
\( \Rightarrow 2a + b = 4 \dots\dots(1) \)
continuity at \( x = 4 \)
LHL = \( (3x + 2) \)
put \( x = 4 - h \) and \( h \to 0 \)
LHL = \( (3(4 - h) + 2) \)
\( \therefore \text{LHL} = 14 \)
RHL = \( (2ax + 5b) \)
put \( x = 4 + h \) and \( h \to 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow \text{RHL} = (2a(4 + h) + 5b) \)
\( \Rightarrow \text{RHL} = 8a + 5b \)
Now \( f(4) = 3(4) + 2 = 14 \)
we have, \( \text{LHL} = \text{RHL} = f(4) \)
\( \Rightarrow 14 = 8a + 5b = 14 /> \( \Rightarrow 8a + 5b = 14 \dots\dots(2) \)
solving (1) & (2)
we get \( a = 3 \) & \( b = -2 \)
\( \dots f(x) \) is continuous in \( [0, 8] \) for \( a = 3 \) & \( b = -2 \) (Ans.)
Question. If \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \). Find the value of a and b. \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1-\sin^3 x}{3\cos^2 x} & ; \ x < \frac{\pi}{2} \\ a & ; \ x = \frac{\pi}{2} \\ \frac{b(1-\sin x)}{(\pi-2x)^2} & ; \ x > \frac{\pi}{2} \end{cases} \]
Answer: LHL = \( \left[\frac{1-\sin^3 x}{3\cos^2 x}\right] \)
put \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} - h \) and \( h \to 0 \)
\( \therefore \text{LHL} = \left[\frac{1-\sin^3\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-h\right)}{3\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-h\right)}\right] \)
\( = \left[\frac{1-\cos^3 h}{3\sin^2 h}\right] \)
\( = \left[\frac{(1-\cos h)(1+\cos^2 h+\cos h)}{3(1-\cos^2 h)}\right] \dots\dots \{a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + b^2 + ab)\} \)
\( = \left[\frac{(1-\cos h)(1+\cos^2 h+\cos h)}{3(1+\cos h)(1-\cos h)}\right] \)
\( = \left[\frac{1+\cos^2 h + \cos h}{3(1+\cos h)}\right] \)
LHL = \( \frac{1+1+1}{3(1+1)} = \frac{1}{2} \)
RHL = \( \left[\frac{b(1-\sin x)}{(\pi-2x)^2}\right] \)
put \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} + h \) & \( h \to 0 \)
RHL = \( \left[\frac{b\left(1-\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}+h\right)\right)}{\left(\pi-2\left(\frac{\pi}{2}+h\right)\right)^2}\right] \)
\( = \left[\frac{b(1-\cos h)}{(\pi-\pi-2h)^2}\right] \)
\( = \left(\frac{b\cdot 2\sin^2(h/2)}{4h^2}\right) \)
\( \Rightarrow \text{RHL} = \left[\frac{2b\cdot\sin^2(h/2)}{4\cdot\frac{h^2}{4}\cdot 4}\right] \)
\( = \frac{2b}{16}\left(\frac{\sin^2(h/2)}{h^2/4}\right) /> RHL = \( \frac{b}{8} \dots\dots \left\{\left(\frac{\sin^2 x}{x^2}\right) = 1\right\} \)
\( f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = a \)
since \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \)
\( \therefore \text{LHL} = \text{RHL} = f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} = \frac{b}{8} = a \)
\( \Rightarrow b = 4 \) and \( a = \frac{1}{2} \)
\( \therefore f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \) if \( a = \frac{1}{2} \) and \( b = 4 \) Ans.
Question. Find the value of 'a' so that \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 0 \). \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} a\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}(x+1)\right) & ; \ x \le 0 \\ \frac{\tan x - \sin x}{x^3} & ; \ x > 0 \end{cases} \]
Answer: LHL = \( \left[a\sin\frac{\pi}{2}(x + 1)\right] \)
put \( x = 0 - h = -h \) and \( h \to 0 \)
\( \therefore \text{LHL} = a\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \)
LHL = \( a \)
RHL = \( \left(\frac{\tan x - \sin x}{x^3}\right) \)
put \( x = 0 + h = h \) and \( h \to 0 \)
\( \therefore \text{RHL} = \left[\frac{\tan h - \sin h}{h^3}\right] \)
\( = \left[\frac{\frac{\sin h}{\cos h} - \sin h}{h^3}\right] \)
\( = \left[\frac{\sin h - \sin h\cdot\cos h}{h^3\cdot\cos h}\right] \)
\( = \left[\frac{\sin h(1-\cos h)}{h^3\cdot\cos h}\right] \)
\( = \left[\frac{\sin h\cdot 2\sin^2(h/2)}{h^3\cdot\cos h}\right] \)
\( = \left[\frac{\sin h}{h} \cdot \frac{2\sin^2(h/2)}{\frac{h^2}{4}\cdot 4} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos h}\right] \)
\( = \frac{2}{4}\left(\frac{\sin h}{h}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{\sin^2(h/2)}{h^2/4}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{\cos h}\right) /> \( = \frac{1}{2}(1)(1)(1) \dots\dots \left\{\left(\frac{\sin x}{x}\right) = 1 \text{ & } (\cos x) = 1\right\} \)
RHL = \( \frac{1}{2} \)
\( f(0) = a\sin\frac{\pi}{2}(0 + 1) = a\sin\frac{\pi}{2} = a \)
since \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 0 \)
LHL = RHL = \( f(0) \)
\( \Rightarrow a = \frac{1}{2} = a \)
\( \therefore a = \frac{1}{2} \) Ans.
