Exercise 6.1
Q1. Find the rate of change of the area of a circle with respect to its radius $r$ when (a) $r=3 \mathrm{~cm}$ (b) $r=4 \mathrm{~cm}$.

Solution: Let us call the area $z$ of a circle of variable radius $r$.
We know that $z$ (area of circle) $=\pi r^2$
∴ Using the rate of change formula, rate of change of area $z$ with respect to the radius $r$

$
=\frac{d z}{d r}=\pi(2 r)=2 \pi r
$

(a) When $r=3 \mathrm{~cm}$ (given), $\therefore$ From $(i), \frac{d z}{d r}=2 \pi(3)=6 \pi \mathrm{sq}, \mathrm{cm}$
(b) When $r=4 \mathrm{~cm}$ (given), $\therefore$ From (i), $\frac{d z}{d r}=2 \pi(4)=8 \pi \mathrm{sq} . \mathrm{cm}$.

Q2. The volume of a cube is increasing at the rate of $8 \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{sec}$. How fast is the surface area increasing when the length of an edge is 12 cm ?

Solution: Let $x \mathrm{~cm}$ be the edge of a cube (for example, a room whose length, breadth and height are equal) at time $t$.
Given: Rate of Increase of volume of cube $=8 \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{sec}$.

$
\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow & \frac{d}{d t}(x . x . x) \text { i.e., } \quad \frac{d}{d t} x^3 \text { is positive and }=8 \\
& \left(8 \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{sec} \Rightarrow \text { rate of Increase with respect to time }\right) \\
\Rightarrow & 3 x^2 \frac{d}{d t} x=8 \Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{8}{3 x^2}
\end{aligned}
$


Let us call the surface area $z$ of the cube. $\therefore z=6 x^2$ (Area of four walls + Area of floor + Area of ceiling)
∴ Rate of change of surface area of cube

$
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{d z}{d t}=6 \frac{d}{d t} x^2=6\left(2 x \frac{d x}{d t}\right)=12 x\left(\frac{8}{3 x^2}\right) \\
& =4\left(\frac{8}{x}\right)=\frac{32}{x} \mathrm{~cm}^2 / \mathrm{sec} .
\end{aligned}
$


Substituting $x=12 \mathrm{~cm}$ (given), $\frac{d z}{d t}=\frac{32}{12}=\frac{8}{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2 / \mathrm{sec}$
Because $ rac{d z}{d t}$ is positive, therefore, surface area is increasing at the rate of $\frac{8}{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2 / \mathrm{sec}$.

Q3. The radius of a circle is increasing uniformely at the rate of 3 cm per second. Find the rate at which the area of the circle is increasing when the radius is 10 cm .

Solution: Let $x \mathrm{~cm}$ denote the radius of a circle at time $t$.
Given: Rate of increase of radius of circle $=3 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}$.
$\Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d t}$ is positive and $=3 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}$

Let us call the area $z$ of the circle.
$\therefore \quad z=\pi x^2$.
∴ Rate of change of area of circle $=\frac{d z}{d t}=\pi \frac{d}{d t} x^2$

$
\begin{aligned}
& =\pi \cdot 2 x \frac{d x}{d t}=2 \pi x(3) \\
& =6 \pi x .
\end{aligned}
$


Substituting $x=10 \mathrm{~cm}$ (given), $\frac{d z}{d t}=6 \pi(10)=60 \pi \mathrm{~cm}^2 / \mathrm{sec}$
Because $ rac{d z}{d t}$ is positive, therefore area of circle is increasing at the rate of $60 \pi \mathrm{~cm}^2 / \mathrm{sec}$.

Q4. An edge of a variable cube is increasing at the rate of 3 cm per second. How fast is the volume of the cube increasing when the edge is 10 cm long?

Solution: Let $x \mathrm{~cm}$ be the edge of variable cube at time $t$.
Given: Rate of increase of edge $x$ is $3 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}$.

$
\therefore \quad \frac{d x}{d t} \text { is positive and }=3 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}
$


Let us call the volume $z$ of the cube.

$
\therefore \quad z=x^3
$

∴ Rate of change of volume of cube

$
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{d z}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t} x^3=3 x^2 \frac{d x}{d t}=3 x^2(3) \\
\text { or } \quad \frac{d z}{d t} & =9 x^2 \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{sec} .
\end{aligned}
$


Substituting $x=10 \mathrm{~cm}$ (given), $\frac{d z}{d t}=9(10)^2=9(100)=900 \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{sec}$.
Because $ rac{d z}{d t}$ is positive, therefore volume of the cube is inereasing at the rate of $900 \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{sec}$.

Q5. A stone is dropped into a quite lake and waves move in circles at the rate of $5 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}$. At the instant when radius of the circular wave is 8 cm , how fast is the enelosed area increasing?

Solution: Let $x \mathrm{~cm}$ be radius of circular wave at time $t$.
Given: Waves move in circles at the rate of $5 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}$.
⇒ Radius $x$ of circular wave increases at the rate of $5 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}$.

$
\Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d t} \text { is positive and }=5 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec} .
$


Let $z$ denote the enclosed area of the circular wave at time $t$.

$
\therefore \quad z=\pi x^2 .
$

∴ Rate of change of area $=\frac{d z}{d t}=\pi \frac{d}{d t} x^2=\pi \cdot 2 x \frac{d x}{d t}$

$
=2 \pi x(5) \quad[B y(i)]=10 \pi x
$


Substituting $x=8 \mathrm{~cm}$ (given), $\frac{d z}{d t}=10 \pi(8)=80 \pi \mathrm{~cm}^2 / \mathrm{sec}$.
Because $ rac{d z}{d t}$ is positive, therefore area of circular wave is increasing at the rate of $80 \pi \mathrm{~cm}^2 / \mathrm{sec}$.

Q6. The radius of a circle is increasing at the rate of $0.7 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$. What is the rate of increase of its circumference?

Solution: Let $x$ be the radius of the circle at time $t$.
Given: Rate of increase of radius of circle $=0.7 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}$.

$
\Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d t} \text { is positive and }=0.7 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec} .
$
Let us call the circumference $z$ of the circle at time $t$.
$\therefore \quad z=2 \pi x$ (Formula)
∴ Rate of change of circumference of circle

$
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{d z}{d t}=\frac{d}{d t}(2 \pi x)=2 \pi \frac{d x}{d t}=2 \pi(0.7) \\
& =1.4 \pi \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec} .
\end{aligned}
$

Q7. The length $x$ of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of $5 \mathrm{~cm} /$ minute and the width $y$ is increasing at the rate of $4 \mathrm{~cm} /$ minute. When $x=8 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $y=6 \mathrm{~cm}$, find the rates of change of ( $a$ ) the perimeter, and ( $b$ ) the area of the rectangle.

Solution: Given: Rate of decrease of length $x$ of rectangle is $5 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{minute}$.
$\Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d t}$ is negative and $=-5 \mathrm{~cm} /$ minute

Given: Rate of increase of width $y$ of rectangle is $4 \mathrm{~cm} /$ minute.
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d t}$ is positive and $=4 \mathrm{~cm} /$ minute
(a) Let us call the perimeter $z$ of rectangle.

$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad z=x+y+x+y=2 x+2 y \\
& \therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d t}=2 \frac{d x}{d t}+2 \frac{d y}{d t}
\end{aligned}
$


Plugging in the values from (i) and (ii),

$
\frac{d z}{d t}=2(-5)+2(4)=-10+8=-2 \text { is negative. }
$

Therefore, the perimeter $z$ of the rectangle is decreasing at the rate of $2 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}$.
(Even when $x=8 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $y=6 \mathrm{~cm}$ ).
(b) Let us call the area $z$ of rectangle.

$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \mathbf{z}=\boldsymbol{x} \boldsymbol{y} \\
& \therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d t}=x \frac{d y}{d t}+y \frac{d x}{d t}
\end{aligned}
$


I By Product Rule
Substituting $x=8 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $y=6 \mathrm{~cm}$ (given) and putting values of

$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{d x}{d t} \text { and } \frac{d y}{d t} \text { from }(i) \text { and }(i i), \\
& \frac{d z}{d t}=8(4)+6(-5)=32-30=2 \text { is positive. }
\end{aligned}
$

Therefore, the area $z$ of the rectangle is increasing at the rate of $2 \mathrm{sqcm} /$ minute even when $x=8 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $y=6 \mathrm{~cm}$.

Q8. A balloon, which always remains spherical on inflation, is being inflated by pumping in 900 cubic centimetres of gas per second. Find the rate at which the radius of the balloon increases when the radius is 15 cm .

Solution: Let $x \mathrm{~cm}$ be the radius of the spherical balloon at time $t$.
Given: Rate at which the balloon is being inflated i.e., rate at which the volume of the balloon is increasing $=900 \mathrm{cu} . \mathrm{cm}$ sec.

$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \frac{d}{d t}\left(\frac{4 \mathbf{m}}{3} x^3\right)=900 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{4 \pi}{3} \frac{d}{d t} x^3=900 \Rightarrow \frac{4 \pi}{3} \cdot 3 x^2 \frac{d x}{d t}=900 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad 4 \pi x^2 \frac{d x}{d t}=900 \Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{900}{4 \pi x^2} \\
& \text { Putting } x=15 \mathrm{~cm}(g \text { iven }), \frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{900}{4 \pi(15)^2}=\frac{900}{4 \pi(225)} \\
& \quad=\frac{900}{900 \pi}=\frac{1}{\pi} \text { is positive. }
\end{aligned}
$

Therefore, the radius of balloon is increasing at the rate of $\frac{1}{\pi} \mathrm{~cm} \mathrm{sec}$.

Q9. A balloon, which always remains spherical has a variable radius. Find the rate at which its volume is increasing with the radius when the later is 10 cm .

Solution: We know that the volume $V$ of a balloon with radius $x$ is

$
V=\frac{4}{3} \pi x^3
$

∴ Rate of change of volume with respect to radius $x$ is given by

$
\frac{d V}{d x}=\frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi x^3\right)=\frac{4}{3} \pi+3 x^2=4 \pi x^2
$

∴ When $x=10 \mathrm{~cm}, \frac{d \mathrm{~V}}{d x}=4 \mathrm{~m}(10)^2=400 \mathrm{~s}$
i.e., the volume is increasing at the rate of $4 \pi(10)^2=400 \pi \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{cm}^2$.

Q10. A ladder 5 m long is leaning against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is pulled along the ground, away from the wall, at the rate of $2 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$. How fast is its height on the wall decreasing when the foot of the ladder is 4 m away from the wall? (Important)

Solution: Let AB be the ladder and C , the junction of wall and ground, $\mathrm{AB}=5 \mathrm{~m}$
Let $\mathrm{CA}=x$ metres, $\mathrm{CB}=y$ metres. We know that as the end A moves away from C, the end B moves towards C.
[‘: Length of ladder can’t change]
i.e., as $x$ increases, $y$ decreases.

$
\text { Now } \frac{d x}{d t}=2 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}
$


-(i) (given)
In $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$, by Pythagoras Theorem $\mathrm{AC}^2+\mathrm{BC}^2=\mathrm{AB}^2$ or $\quad x^2+y^2=5^2=25$

Differentiating both sides with respect to $t$, we have

$
\begin{array}{rlrl}
& & 2 x \frac{d x}{d t}+2 y \frac{d y}{d t} & =0 \\
& \text { or } & & 2 x(2)+2 y \\
& =0 \text { or } & 2 y \frac{d y}{d t}=-4 x \\
& \therefore & \frac{d y}{d t} & =-\frac{2 x}{y}
\end{array}
$


When $x=4$ (given), from (ii), $16+y^2=25$ or $y^2=9$ or $y=3$
∴ From (tit), $\frac{d y}{d t}=-\frac{2 \times 4}{3}=-\frac{8}{3} \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$.
Note. The negative sign indicates that $y$ decreases as $t$ increases.

Q11. A particle moves along the curve $6 y=x^3+2$. Find the points on the curve at which the $y$-coordinate is changing 8 times as fast as the $x$-coordinate.

Solution: Given: Equation of the curve is $6 y=x^3+2$

Let ( $x, y$ ) be the required point on curve ( $i$ ).
Given: $y$-coordinate is changing 8 times as fast as the $x$ coordinate.
⇒ Rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$ is 8

$
\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=8
$


Differentiating both sides of ( $i$ ) with respect to $x$, we have $6 \frac{d y}{d x}=3 x^2$
Putting $\frac{d y}{d x}=8$ from $(t t), 48=3 x^2 \Rightarrow x^2=\frac{48}{3}=16 \therefore x= \pm 4$
When $x=4$, from $(i), 6 y=64+2=66 \quad \therefore \quad y=\frac{66}{6}=11$
∴ One required point is (4, 11).
When $x=-4$, from (i) $6 y=-64+2=-62$,

$
\therefore \quad y=\frac{-62}{6}=\frac{-31}{3}
$

∴ Second required point is $\left(-4, \frac{-31}{3}\right)$.
Therefore, the required points on curve $(i)$ are $(4,11)$ and $\left(-4, \frac{-31}{3}\right)$.

Q12. The radius of an air bubble is increasing at the rate of $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$ At what rate is the volume of the bubble increasing when the radius is 1 cm ?

Solution: Let $x \mathrm{~cm}$ be the radius of the air bubble at time $t$.
Given: Rate of increase of radius of air bubble (spherical as we all know) $=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}$.
$\Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d t}$ is positive and $=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}$.

Let us call the volume $z$ of the air bubble.
$\therefore \quad z=\frac{4 \pi}{3} x^3$
$\therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d t}=$ Rate of change of volume of air bubble

$
=\frac{4 \pi}{3} \frac{d}{d t} x^3=\frac{4 \pi}{3} \cdot 3 x^2 \frac{d x}{d t}=4 \pi x^2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)[B y(i)]=2 \pi x^2
$


Substituting $x=1 \mathrm{~cm}$ (given), $\frac{d z}{d t}=2 \pi(1)^2=2 \pi$ this is positive.
Therefore, the required rate of increase of volume of air bubble is $2 \pi \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{sec}$.

Q13. A balloon, which always remains spherical, has a variable diameter $\frac{3}{2}(2 x+1)$. Find the rate of change of its volume with respect to $x$.

Solution: Diameter of the balloon $=\frac{3}{2}(2 x+1)$ (given)
Therefore, the radius of balloon $=\frac{1}{2}($ diameter $)=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{2}(2 x+1)=\frac{3}{4}(2 x+1)$
Therefore, the volume of balloon $(\mathrm{V})=\frac{4}{3} \pi(\text { radius })^3$

$
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{4 \pi}{3}\left(\frac{3}{4}(2 x+1)\right)^3=\frac{4}{3} \pi \cdot \frac{27}{64}(2 x+1)^2 \\
& =\frac{9 \pi}{16}(2 x+1)^3 \mathrm{cu} \text { units }
\end{aligned}
$

∴ Rate of change of volume with respect to $x$,

$
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{d V}{d x}=\frac{9 \pi}{16} \cdot 3(2 x+1)^2 \cdot \frac{d}{d x}(2 x+1) \\
& =\frac{27 \pi}{16}(2 x+1)^2 \cdot 2=\frac{27 \pi}{8}(2 x+1)^2
\end{aligned}
$

Q14. Sand is pouring from a pipe at the rate of $12 \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{s}$. The falling sand forms a cone on the ground in such a way that the height of the cone is always one-sixth of the radius of the base. How fast is the height of the sand cone increasing when the height is 4 cm ?

Solution: Let the height and base radius of the sandcone formed at time $t \mathrm{sec}$ be $y \mathrm{~cm}$ and $x \mathrm{~cm}$ respectively. Then $y=\frac{1}{6} x$ (given) or $x=6 y$.
Volume of cone $(\mathbf{V})=\frac{1}{3} \pi x^2 y$

Substituting $x=6 y$,

$
V=\frac{1}{3} \pi(6 y)^2 y=12 \pi y^3
$


$
\therefore \quad \frac{d \mathrm{~V}}{d y}=36 \pi y^2
$
It is given that sand is pouring from a pipe to form a sand-cone at the rate of $12 \mathrm{~cm}^3 / \mathrm{sec}$.

$
\begin{array}{lcl}
\therefore & \frac{d V}{d t}=12 & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d V}{d y} \times \frac{d y}{d t}=12 \\
\Rightarrow & 36 \pi y^2 \times \frac{d y}{d t}=12(\mathrm{By}(t)) & \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d t}=\frac{1}{3 \pi y^2}
\end{array}
$


When $y=4 \mathrm{~cm}$, (given); $\frac{d y}{d t}=\frac{1}{3 \pi \times 4^2}=\frac{1}{48 \pi} \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{sec}$.

Q15. The total cost $C(x)$ in rupees associated with the production of $x$ units of an item is given by$ C(x)=0.007 x^3-0.003 x^2+15 x+4000 $Find the marginal cost when 17 units are produced.

Solution: Marginal cost is defined as the rate of change of total cost with respect to the number of units produced.

$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \text { Marginal cost }(\mathrm{MC})=\frac{d \mathrm{C}}{d x} \\
& \quad=\frac{d}{d x}\left(0.007 x^2-0.003 x^2+15 x+4000\right) \\
& \quad=0.021 x^2-0.006 x+15 \\
& \begin{aligned}
\therefore \text { When } x & =17, \mathrm{MC}=0.021 \times(17)^2-0.006 \times(17)+15 \\
& =0.021(289)-0.102+15 \\
& =6.069-0.102+15=20.967
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
$


Hence, the required marginal cost $=₹ 20.97$.

Q16. The total revenue in rupees received from the sale of $x$ units of a product is given by$ R(x)=13 x^2+26 x+15 $Find the marginal revenue when $x=7$.

Solution: Marginal Revenue is defined as the rate of change of total revenue with respect to the number of units sold.

$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \text { Marginal revenue }(\mathrm{MR}) & =\frac{d \mathrm{R}}{d x} \\
& =\frac{d}{d x}\left(13 x^2+26 x+15\right)=26 x+26
\end{aligned}
$


When $x=7, \mathrm{MR}=26 \times 7+26=208$
Hence, the required marginal revenue $=₹ 208$.
Choose the correct answer in Exercises 17 and 18.

Q17. The rate of change of the area of a circle with respect to its radius $r$ at $r=6 \mathrm{~cm}$ is (A) $10 \pi$ (B) $12 \pi$ (C) $8 \pi$ (D) $11 \pi$

Solution: Let us call the area $z$ of a circle of radius $r$.

$
\therefore \quad z=\pi r^2
$

∴ Rate of change of area $z$ with respect to the radius $r=\frac{d z}{d r}=2 \pi r$
Substituting $r=6 \mathrm{~cm}$ (given), $\frac{d z}{d r}=2 \pi(6)=12 \pi$
Hence, option (B) is correct.

Q18. The total revenue in Rupees received from the sale of $x$ units of a product is given by $\mathbf{R}(x)=3 x^2+36 x+5$. The marginal revenue, when $x=15$ is (A) 116 (B) 96 (C) 90 (D) 126

Solution: Given: Total revenue $R(x)=3 x^2+36 x+5$

$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \text { Marginal revenue }=\frac{d}{d x} \mathbf{R}(x)=6 x+36 \\
& \text { Putting } x=15(\text { given }), \begin{array}{l}
\frac{d(R(x))}{d x}=6(15)+36 \\
\therefore \quad 90+36=126
\end{array}
\end{aligned}
$

Hence, option (D) is correct.

Exercise 6.2
Q1. Show that the function given by $f(x)=3 x+17$ is strictly increasing on R.

Solution: Given: $f(x)=3 x+17$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=3(1)+0=3>0 \text { i.e., + ve for all } x \in \mathbf{R} .
$

$\therefore f(x)$ is strictly increasing on R .

Q2. Show that the function given by $f(x)=e^{2 x}$ is strictly increasing on R.

Solution: Given: $f(x)=e^{2 x}$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=e^{2 x} \frac{d}{d x} 2 x=e^{2 x}(2)=2 e^{2 x}>0 \text { i.e., } \quad+\text { ve for all } x \in \mathbb{R}
$

[– We know that e is approximately equal to 2.718 and is always positive]
$\therefore f(x)$ is strictly increasing on R .
Remark. $e^{-2}=\frac{1}{\left(e^2\right)}>0$ and $e^0=1>0$.

Q3. Show that the function given by $f(x)=\sin x$ is (a) strictly increasing in $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ (b) strictly decreasing in $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$ (c) neither increasing nor decreasing in ( $0, \pi$ ).

Solution: Given: $f(x)=\sin x$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=\cos x
$

(a) We know that $f^{\prime}(x)=\cos x>0$ i.e., + ve in first quadrant i.e., in $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$.
$\therefore f(x)$ is strictly increasing in $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$.
(b) We know that $f^{\prime}(x)=\cos x<0$ i.e., - ve in second quadrant i.e., in $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$.
$\therefore f(x)$ is strictly decreasing in $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$.
(c) Because $f^{\prime}(x)=\cos x>0$ i.e., + ve in $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ and $f^{\prime}(x)=\cos x<0$ i.e., -ve in $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$ and $f^{\prime}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=\cos \frac{\pi}{2}=0$
$\therefore f^{\prime}(x)$ does not keep the same sign in the interval ( $0, \pi$ ). Hence $f(x)$ is neither increasing nor decreasing in ( $0, \pi$ ).

Q4. Find the intervals in which the function $f$ given by$ f(x)=2 x^2-3 x \text { is } $(a) strictly increasing (b) strictly decreasing.

Solution: Given:

$
f(x)=2 x^2-3 x
$


$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=4 x-3
$


Step I. Let us put $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to find the critical points i.e., points on the given curve where tangent is parallel to $x$-axis.
∴ From (i), $4 x-3=0$ i.e., $4 x=3$
or $\quad x=\frac{3}{4}(=0.75)$.

This critical point divides the real line in two disjoint subintervals $\left(-\infty, \frac{3}{4}\right)$ and $\left(\frac{3}{4}, \infty\right)$.
Step II.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline Interval & sign of $f^{\prime}(x)=4 x-3$ …(i) & Nature of function $\boldsymbol{f}$ \\
\hline $\left(-\infty, \frac{3}{4}\right)$ & Take $x=0.5$ (say) then from (i) $f^{\prime}(x)<0$ & $\therefore f$ is strictly decreasing $\downarrow$ \\
\hline $\left(\frac{3}{4}, \infty\right)$ & Take $x=1$ (say) then from (i), $f^{\prime}(x)>0$ & $\therefore f$ is strictly increasing 1 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

Thus, (a) $f$ is strictly increasing in $\left(\frac{3}{4}, \infty\right)$.
(b) $f$ is strictly decreasing in $\left(-\infty, \frac{3}{4}\right)$.

Q5. Find the intervals in which the function $f$ given by$ f(x)=2 x^3-3 x^2-36 x+7 \text { is } $(a) strictly increasing (b) strictly decreasing.

Solution: Given: $f(x)=2 x^3-3 x^2-36 x+7$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=6 x^2-6 x-36
$


Step I. Form factors of $f^{\prime}(x)$

$
f^{\prime}(x)=6\left(x^2-x-6\right)
$

(Caution: Don’t omit 6. It can’t be cancelled only from R.H.S.)
or

$
\begin{aligned}
f^{\prime}(x) & =6\left(x^2-3 x+2 x-6\right)=6(x(x-3)+2(x-3)] \\
& =6(x+2)(x-3)
\end{aligned}
$


Step II. Put $f^{\prime}(x)=0 \Rightarrow 6(x+2)(x-3)=0$
But $6 \neq 0 \quad \therefore$ Either $x+2=0$ or $x-3=0$
i.e., $x=-2, x=3$.

These critical points $x=-2$ and $x=3$ divide the real line into three disjoint sub-intervals $(-\infty,-2),(-2,3)$ and $(3, \infty)$.
Step III.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline Interval & sign of $\boldsymbol{f}^{\prime}(\boldsymbol{x})$
$

Thus, ( $a$ ) $f$ is strictly increasing in ( $-\infty,-2$ ) and ( $3, \infty$ ).
(b) $f$ is strictly decreasing in ( $-2,3$ ).

Q6. Find the intervals in which the following functions are strictly increasing or deereasing. (a) $x^2+2 x-5$ (b) $10-6 x-2 x^2$ (c) $-2 x^3-9 x^2-12 x+1$ (d) $6-9 x-x^2$ (e) $(x+1)^3(x-3)^3$.

Solution: (a) Given: $f(x)=x^2+2 x-5$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=2 x+2=2(x+1)
$


Step I. Put $\left.f^{\prime}(x)=0 \Rightarrow 2 i x+1\right)=0$
But $2 \neq 0$. Therefore, $x+1=0$ i.e., $x=-1$.
This critical point $x=-1$ divides the real line into two
disjoint sub-intervals ( $-\infty$, -1) and ( $-1, \infty$ ).

\begin{table}
\captionsetup{labelformat=empty}
\caption{Step II.}
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline Interval & sign of $f^{\prime}(x)$
$
=2(x+1) \ldots(i)
$ & Nature of function $\boldsymbol{f}$ \\
\hline ( $-\infty,-1$ ) & Take $x=-2$ (say). Then from (i), $f^{\prime}(x)=(-)$ i.e., <0 & $\therefore f$ is strictly decreasing $\downarrow$ \\
\hline ( $-1, \infty$ ) & Take $x=0$ (say). Then from (i), $f^{\prime}(x)=(+)$ i.e., > 0 & $\therefore \quad f$ is strictly increasing $\uparrow$ \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

Thus, $f$ is strictly increasing in ( $-1, \infty$ ) (i.e., $x>-1$ ) and strictly decreasing in $(-\infty,-1)$ (i.e., $x<-1$ ).
(b) Given: $f(x)=10-6 x-2 x^2$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=-6-4 x=-2(3+2 x)
$


Step 1. Put $f^{\prime}(x)=0 \Rightarrow-2(3+2 x)=0$
But $-2 \neq 0$. Therefore, $3+2 x=0$ i.e., $2 x=-3$

$
\text { i.e. } x=-\frac{3}{2}, \quad 0_{-\infty}^0 \quad-\frac{3}{2} \quad 0
$


This critical point $x=-\frac{3}{2}$ divides the real line into two disjoint sub-intervals $\left(-\infty,-\frac{3}{2}\right)$ and $\left(-\frac{3}{2}, \infty\right)$.
Step III.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline Interval & sign of $f^{\prime}(x)$
$
=-2(3+2 x) \quad \ldots(i)
$ & Nature of function $\boldsymbol{f}$ \\
\hline $\left(-\infty,-\frac{3}{2}\right)$ & \begin{tabular}{l}
Take $x=-2$ (say). \\
Then from (i),
$
\begin{aligned}
f^{\prime}(x) & =(-)(-) \\
& =(+) \text { i.e. },>0
\end{aligned}
$
\end{tabular} & $\therefore \quad f$ is strictly increasing $\uparrow$ \\
\hline $\left(-\frac{3}{2}, \infty\right)$ & \begin{tabular}{l}
Take $x=-1$ (say). \\
Then from (i),
$
\begin{aligned}
f^{\prime}(x) & =(-)(+) \\
& =(-) \text { i.e. }<0
\end{aligned}
$
\end{tabular} & $\therefore f$ is strictly decreasing $\downarrow$ \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

Thus, $f$ is strictly increasing in $\left(-\infty,-\frac{3}{2}\right)$ (i.e., for $x<-\frac{3}{2}$ ) and
strictly decreasing in $\left(-\frac{3}{2}, \infty\right)$ (i.e., for $x>-\frac{3}{2}$ ).
(e) Let $f(x)=-2 x^3-9 x^2-12 x+1$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=-6 x^2-18 x-12=-6\left(x^2+3 x+2\right)
$


Step I. Forming factors of $f^{\prime}(x)$

$
=-6\left(x^2+x+2 x+2\right)=-6(x(x+1)+2(x+1))
$

or $f^{\prime}(x)=-6(x+1)(x+2)$

Step II. $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ gives $x=-1$ or $x=-2$
The points $x=-2$ and $x=-1$ (arranged in ascending order) divide the real line into 3 disjoint intervals, namely, ( $-\infty,-2$ ), $(-2,-1)$ and $(-1, \infty)$.

\begin{table}
\captionsetup{labelformat=empty}
\caption{Step III. Nature of $f(x)$}
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline Interval & sign of $f^{\prime}(x)$
$
=-6(x+1)(x+2)(i)
$ & Nature of function $\boldsymbol{f}$ \\
\hline ( $-\infty,-2$ ) & Take $x=-3$ (say), Then from ( $i$ ), $f^{\prime}(x)=(-)(-)(-) =(-)$ i.e., $<0$ & $\therefore f$ is strictly decreasing in $(-\infty,-2) \downarrow$ \\
\hline ( $-2,-1$ ) & Take $x=-1.5$ (say), Then from ( $i$ ), $f^{\prime}(x)=(-)(-)(+)=+$ i.e., $>0$ & $\therefore \quad f$ is strictly increasing in $(-2,-1) \uparrow$ \\
\hline $(-1, \infty)$ & Take $x=0$ (say), then from ( $i$ ) $f^{\prime}(x)=(-)(+)(+)=(-)$ i.e., < 0 & $\therefore f$ is strictly decreasing in $(-1, \infty) \downarrow$ \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
$\therefore f$ is strictly increasing in $(-2,-1)$ and strictly decreasing in $(-\infty,-2)$ and $(-1, \infty)$
(d) Let $f(x)=6-9 x-x^2 \quad \therefore f^{\prime}(x)=-9-2 x$. $f(x)$ is strictly increasing if $f^{\prime}(x)>0$, i.e., if $-9-2 x>0$
or $\quad-2 x>9 \quad$ or $\quad x<-\frac{9}{2}$
$\therefore f$ is strictly increasing $\uparrow$, in the interval $\left(-\infty,-\frac{9}{2}\right)$.
$f(x)$ is strictly decreasing if $f^{\prime}(x)<0$, i.e, if $-9-2 x<0$
or $\quad-2 x<9 \quad$ or $\quad x>-\frac{9}{2}$
$\therefore f$ is strictly decreasing $\downarrow$ in the interval $\left(-\frac{9}{2}, \infty\right)$.
(e) Let $f(x)=(x+1)^3(x-3)^3$
then $f^{\prime}(x)=(x+1)^3, 3(x-3)^2+(x-3)^3 \cdot 3(x+1)^2$

$
\begin{aligned}
& =3(x+1)^2(x-3)^2(x+1+ \\
& =3(x+1)^2(x-3)^2(2 x-2) \\
& =6(x+1)^2(x-3)^2(x-1)
\end{aligned}
$


The factors $(x+1)^2$ and $(x-3)^2$ are non-negative for all $x$.
$\therefore f(x)$ is strictly increasing if

$
f^{\prime}(x)>0, \quad \text { i.e., if } x-1>0 \quad \text { or } \quad x>1
$

$f(x)$ is strictly decreasing if $f^{\prime}(x)<0$, i.e., if $x-1<0$
or

$
x<1
$


Thus, $f$ is strictly increasing $\uparrow$ in ( $1, \infty$ ) and strictly decreasing † in ( $-\infty, 1$ ).

Q7. Show that $y=\log (1+x)-\frac{2 x}{2+x}, x>-1$ is an increasing function of $x$ throughout its domain.

Solution: Given: $y=\log (1+x)-\frac{2 x}{2+x}$

$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad \frac{d y}{d x} & =\frac{1}{1+x} \frac{d}{d x}(1+x)-\left[\frac{(2+x) \frac{d}{d x}(2 x)-2 x \frac{d}{d x}(2+x)}{(2+x)^2}\right] \\
& =\frac{1}{1+x}-\left[\frac{(2+x) 2-2 x}{(2+x)^2}\right]=\frac{1}{1+x}-\frac{(4+2 x-2 x)}{(2+x)^2} \\
\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x} & =\frac{1}{1+x}-\frac{4}{(2+x)^2}=\frac{(2+x)^2-4(1+x)}{(1+x)(2+x)^2} \\
& =\frac{4+x^2+4 x-4-4 x}{(1+x)(2+x)^2}=\frac{x^2}{(1+x)(2+x)^2}
\end{aligned}
$


Domain of the given function is given to be $x>-1$
$\Rightarrow x+1>0$. Also $(2+x)^2>0$ and $x^2 \geq 0$
∴ From (i), $\frac{d y}{d x} \geq 0$ for all $x$ in the domain $(x>-1)$.
∴ The given function is an increasing function of $x$ (in its domain namely $x>-1$ ).
Note 1. For an increasing function $\frac{d y}{d x}=f^{\prime}(x) \geq 0$ and for a strictly increasing function $\frac{d y}{d x}=f^{\prime}(x)>0$.
Note 2. For a decreasing function $\frac{d y}{d x}=f^{\prime}(x) \leq 0$ and for a strictly decreasing function $\frac{d y}{d x}=f^{\prime}(x)<0$.

Q8. Find the value of $x$ for which $y=(x(x-2))^2$ is an increasing function.

Solution: Given: $y(=f(x))=(x(x-2))^2$.
Step I. Find $\frac{d y}{d x}$ and form factors of R.H.S. of value of $\frac{d y}{d x}$.

$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=2 x(x-2) \frac{d}{d x}[x(x-2)] \\
& \begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow \quad & \left.\quad \frac{d y}{d x}=2 x(x-2)\left[x \frac{d}{d x}(f(x))^n=n(f(x))\right)^{n-1} \frac{d}{d x} f(x)\right] \\
& \left.=2 x(x-2)[x+x-2]=2 x(x-2) \frac{d}{d x} x\right] \quad \text { (Product Rule) }
\end{aligned} \\
& \text { or } \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=4 x(x-2)(x-1)
\end{aligned}
$


Step II. Put $\frac{d y}{d x}=0$.

$
\text { ∴ From (i) } 4 x(x-2)(x-1)=0
$


But $4 \neq 0 \therefore$ Either $x=0$ or $x-2=0$ or $x-1=0$

$
\Rightarrow x=0, x=2, x=1
$


These three critical points $x=0, x=1, x=2$ (arranged in their ascending order divide the real line into three sub-intervals ( $-\infty$, $0],[0,1],[1,2],[2, \infty)$.

\begin{table}

\end{tabular}

Therefore, $f(x)$ is an increasing function in the intervals $[0,1]$ (i.e., $0 \leq x \leq 1$ ) and ( $2, \infty$ ) (i.e., $x \geq 2$ ).

Remark. (We have included the critical points in the subintervals because we are to discuss for increasing function and not for strictly increasing function. See Notes 1 and 2 at the end of solution of Q. No. 7).

Q9. Prove that $y=\frac{4 \sin \theta}{(2+\cos \theta)}-\theta$ is an increasing function of $\theta$ in $\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$.

Solution: Here $y=\frac{4 \sin \theta}{(2+\cos \theta)}-\theta$

$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d \theta}=\frac{(2+\cos \theta) \cdot 4 \cos \theta-4 \sin \theta(-\sin \theta)}{(2+\cos \theta)^2}-1 \\
& =\frac{8 \cos \theta+4 \cos ^2 \theta+4 \sin ^2 \theta}{\left(2+\cos ^2 \theta\right)^2}-1 \\
& =\frac{8 \cos \theta+4\left(\cos ^2 \theta+\sin ^2 \theta\right)-(2+\cos \theta)^2}{(2+\cos \theta)^2} \quad(\text { Taking LC.M.) } \\
& =\frac{8 \cos \theta+4-(2+\cos \theta)^2}{(2+\cos \theta)^2}=\frac{(8 \cos \theta+4)-\left(4+4 \cos \theta+\cos ^2 \theta\right)}{(2+\cos \theta)^2} \\
& \text { or } \frac{d y}{d \theta}=\frac{4 \cos \theta-\cos ^2 \theta}{(2+\cos \theta)^2}=\frac{\cos \theta(4-\cos \theta)}{(2+\cos \theta)^2}
\end{aligned}
$


Since $0 \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$,
we have $0 \leq \cos \theta \leq 1$ and, therefore, $4-\cos \theta>0$. Also $(2+\cos \theta)^2>0$
∴ From (i), $\frac{d y}{d \theta} \geq 0$ for $0 \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$.
Hence, $y$ is an increasing function of $\theta$ in $\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$.

Q10. Prove that the logarithmic function is strictly increasing on \((0, \infty) \).

Solution: Given: $f(x)=\log x$

$
\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{x}>0 \text { for all } x \text { in }(0, \infty) \quad[\because x \in(0, \infty) \Rightarrow x>0]
$

$\therefore f(x)$ is strictly increasing on ( $0, \infty)$,

Q11. Prove that the function $\boldsymbol{f}$ given by $\boldsymbol{f}(\boldsymbol{x})=\boldsymbol{x}^2-\boldsymbol{x}+1$ is neither strietly increasing nor strictly decreasing on ( $-1,1$ ).

Solution: Given: $f(x)=x^2-x+1$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=2 x-1
$

$f^{\prime}(x)$ is strictly increasing if $f^{\prime}(x)>0$ i.e., if $2 x-1>0$
i.e., if $2 x>1$ or $x>\frac{1}{2}$
$f(x)$ is strictly decreasing if

$
f^{\prime}(x)<0 \text { i.e., if } 2 x-1<0 \text { i.e., } x<\frac{1}{2}
$

$\therefore f(x)$ is strictly increasing for $x>\frac{1}{2}$ i.e., on the interval $\left(\frac{1}{2}, 1\right) [\because$ The given interval is $(-1,1)]$
and $f(x)$ is strictly decreasing for $x<\frac{1}{2}$ i.e., on the interval $\left(-1, \frac{1}{2}\right)$.
[:- The given interval is $(-1,1)]$
$\therefore f(x)$ is neither strictly incressing nor strictly decreasing on the interval ( $-1,1$ ).

Q12. Which of the following functions are strictly decreasing on $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ ? (A) $\cos x$ (B) $\cos 2 x$ (C) cos $3 x$ (D) $\tan x$.

Solution: (A) Let $f(x)=\cos x$ then $f^{\prime}(x)=-\sin x$

$
\because \quad 00
$

[Because sin $x$ is positive in both first and second quadrants]

$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow-\sin x<0 \quad \therefore f^{\prime}(x)=-\sin x<0 \text { on }\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right) \\
& \Rightarrow f(x) \text { is strictly decreasing on }\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right) .
\end{aligned}
$

(B) Let $f(x)=\cos 2 x$ then $f^{\prime}(x)=-2 \sin 2 x$

$
\begin{array}{llc}
\because & 0\Rightarrow & \sin 2 x>0 \Rightarrow & -2 \sin 2 x<0
\end{array}
$
$
\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=-2 \sin 2 x<0 \text { on }\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)
$

$\Rightarrow f(x)$ is strictly decreasing on $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$.
(C) Let $f(x)=\cos 3 x$ then $f^{\prime}(x)=-3 \sin 3 x$

$
\because \quad 0$


Now for $0<3 x<\pi$.

$
\left(\text { i.e. } 00
$

( $\because \sin \theta$ is positive in first two quadrants)

$
\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=-3 \sin 3 x<0 \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)<0
$

$\Rightarrow f(x)$ is strictly decreasing on $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right)$
and for $\quad \pi<3 x<\frac{3 \pi}{2}, \quad \sin 3 x<0$
[Because sin $\theta$ is negative in third quadrant]

$
\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=-3 \sin 3 x>0 \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)>0
$

$\Rightarrow f(x)$ is strictly increasing on $\left(\frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$
$\therefore f(x)$ is neither strictly increasing nor strictly decreasing on

$
\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)
$

(D) Let $f(x)=\tan x$ then $f^{\prime}(x)=\sec ^2 x>0$
$\Rightarrow f(x)$ is strictly increasing on $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$.
Hence, only the functions in options (A) and (B) are strictly decreasing.

Q13. On which of the following intervals is the function $f$ given by $f(x)=x^{160}+\sin x-1$ is strictly decreasing? (A) $(0,1)$ (B) $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$ (C) $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ (D) None of these.

Solution: Given: $f(x)=x^{100}+\sin x-1$

$
\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=100 x^{90}+\cos x
$


Let us test option (A) (0,1)
On (0, 1); $x>0$ and hence $100 x^{90}>0$
For cos $x$; interval $(0,1) \Rightarrow(0,1$ radian $)$
$\Rightarrow\left(0,57^{\circ}\right.$ nearly) $\left(\because \pi\right.$ radians $=180^{\circ}$

$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow 1 \text { radian }=\frac{180^{\circ}}{\pi} \\
& =\frac{180^{\circ}}{\left(\frac{22}{7}\right)}=180^{\circ} \times \frac{7}{22}=\frac{90^{\circ} \times 7}{11}=\frac{630^{\circ}}{11}=57^{\circ} \text { nearly) }
\end{aligned}
$
$\Rightarrow x$ is in first quadrant and hence cos $x$ is positive.
∴ From $(i), f^{\prime}(x)=100 x^{99}+\cos x>0$ and hence $f(x)$ is strictly increasing on ( 0,1 ).
∴ Option (A) is not the correct option.
Let us test option (B) $\quad\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$
For $100 x^{50}, x \in\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$
$\Rightarrow x \in\left(\frac{\left(\frac{22}{7}\right)}{2}, \frac{22}{7}\right)=\left(\frac{11}{7}, \frac{22}{7}\right)=(1.5,3.1)$
$\Rightarrow x>1 \Rightarrow x^{90}>1$ and hence $100 x^{90}>100$.
For $\cos x,\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right) \Rightarrow$ Second quadrant and hence cos $x$ is negative and has value between -1 and 0 .
$(\because-1 \leq \cos \theta \leq 1)$
∴ From $(i), f^{\prime}(x)=100 x^{90}+\cos x>100-1=99>0$
$\therefore f(x)$ is strictly increasing on $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$.
∴ Option (B) is not the correct option.
Let us test option (C) $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$
On $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ i.e., $(0,1.5)$ both terms $100 x^{90}$ and cos $x$ are positive and hence from ( $0, f^{\prime}(x)=100 x^{99}+$ cos $x$ is positive.
$\therefore f(x)$ is strictly increasing on $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ also.
∴ Option (C) is also not the correct option.
Hence, option (D) is correct.

Q14. Find the least value of $a$ such that the function $f$ given by $f(x)=x^2+a x+1$ strictly increasing on ( 1,2 ).

Solution: Here $f(x)=x^2+a x+1$

Differentiating $(i)$ with respect to $x, f^{\prime}(x)=2 x+a$

Because $f(x)$ is strictly increasing on ( 1,2 ) (given),
$\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=2 x+a>0$ for all $x$ in $(1,2)$

Now on $(1,2), 1Multiplying by $2,2<2 x<4$ for all $x$ in ( 1,2 ).
Adding $a$ to all sides
$2+a<2 x+a<4+a$ for all $x$ in ( 1,2 )
or $\quad 2+a[By (ii)]
∴ Minimum value of $f^{\prime}(x)$ is $2+a$ and maximum value of
$
f^{\prime}(x) \text { is } 4+a .
$


But from (iii), $f^{\prime}(x)>0$ for all $x$ in $(1,2)$
$\therefore 2+a>0$ and $4+a>0$
[By (iv)]
$\therefore a>-2$ and $a>-4$
$\therefore a>-2$
$[\because a>-2 \Rightarrow a>-4$ automatically $]$
∴ Least value of $a$ is -2 .

Q15. Let I be any interval disjoint from [- 1, 1]. Prove that the function $f$ given by $f(x)=x+\frac{1}{x}$ is strictly increasing on $I$.

Solution: Given: $f(x)=x+\frac{1}{x}=x+x^{-1}$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=1+(-1) x^{-2}=1-\frac{1}{x^2}=\frac{x^2-1}{x^2}
$


Forming factors, $f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{(x-1(x+1)}{x^2}$

Given: $I$ is an interval disjoint from $[-1,1]$.
i.e., $1=(-\infty, \infty)-[-1,1]=(-\infty,-1) \cup(1, \infty)$
∴ For every $x \in 1$, either $x<-1$ or $x>1$
For $x<-1$ (For example, $x=-2$ (say)),
from $(f), f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{(-)(-)}{(+)}=(+)$ i.e., $>0$
For $x>1$ (For example, $x=2$ (say)),
from (i), $f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{(+)(+)}{(+)}=(+)$ i.e., $>0$
$\therefore f^{\prime}(x)>0$ for all $x \in \mathrm{I} \quad \therefore \quad f(x)$ is strictly increasing on I .

Q16. Prove that the function $f$ given by $f(x)=\log \sin x$ is strictly increasing on $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ and strictly decreasing on $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$.

Solution: Given: $f(x)=\log \sin x$

$
\therefore r^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{\sin x} \frac{d}{d x} \sin x=\frac{1}{\sin x}(\cos x)=\cot x
$


On the interval $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ i.e., in first quadrant, from (i), $f^{\prime}(x)=\cot x>0$
$\therefore f(x)$ is strictly increasing on $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$.
On the interval $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$ i.e., in second quadrant, from $(i), f^{\prime}(x)= \cot x<0$.
$\therefore f(x)$ is strictly decreasing on $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$.

Q17. Prove that the function $f$ given by $f(x)=\log$ cos $x$ is strictly decreasing on $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ and strictly increasing on $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$.

Solution: Given: $f(x)=\log \cos x$

$
\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{\cos x} \frac{d}{d x}(\cos x)=\frac{1}{\cos x}(-\sin x)=-\tan x
$


We know that on the interval $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ i.e., in first quadrant, $\tan x$ is positive and hence from $(i), f^{\prime}(x)=-\tan x$ is negative i.e., < 0.
$\therefore f(x)$ is strictly decreasing on $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$.
We know that on the interval $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$ i.e., in second quadrant; $\tan x$ is negative and hence from (i),

$
f^{\prime}(x)=-\tan x \text { is positive i.e., }>0 .
$

$\therefore f(x)$ is strictly increasing on $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)$.

Q18. Prove that the function given by $f(x)=x^3-3 x^2+3-100 $ is increasing in R.

Solution: Given: $f(x)=x^3-3 x^2+3 x-100$.
Then

$
\begin{aligned}
f^{\prime}(x) & =3 x^2-6 x+3=3\left(x^2-2 x+1\right) \\
& =3(x-1)^2 \geq 0 \text { for all } x \text { in } R
\end{aligned}
$

$\therefore f(x)$ is increasing on R .

Q19. The interval in which $y=x^2 e^{-x}$ is increasing is (A) $(-\infty, \infty)$ (B) $(-2,0)$ (C) $(2, \infty)$ (D) $(0,2)$.

Solution: Given: y $(=f(x))=x^2 e^{-x}$

$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad \frac{d y}{d x} & =x^2 \frac{d}{d x} e^{-x}+e^{-x} \frac{d}{d x} x^2=x^2 e^{-x}(-1)+e^{-x}(2 x) \\
& =-x^2 e^{-x}+2 x e^{-x}=x e^{-x}(-x+2) \\
\text { or } \quad \frac{d y}{d x} & =\frac{x(2-x)}{e^x}
\end{aligned}
$


Out of the intervals mentioned in the options (A), (B), (C) and (D), $\frac{d y}{d x}>0$ for all $x$ in interval $(0,2)$ of option (D).
$\therefore \quad y(=f(x))$ is strictly increasing and hence increasing in interval $(0,2)$ of option D.
Note. For a subjective solution of this question, proceed as in solution of Q. No. 6 (a), (b), (c).
Remark. Increasing (decreasing) function or monotonically increasing (or monotonically decreasing) function have the same meaning.

Exercise 6.3
Q1. Find the maximum and minimum values, if any, of the following functions given by (i) $f(x)=(2 x-1)^2+3$ (ii) $f(x)=9 x^2+12 x+2$ (iii) $f(x)=-(x-1)^2+10$ (iv) $g(x)=x^3+1$.

Solution: (i) Given: $f(x)=(2 x-1)^2+3$
We know that for all $x \in \mathbf{R},(2 x-1)^2 \geq 0$
⇒ Adding 3 to both sides, $(2 x-1)^2+320+3$
$\Rightarrow \quad f(x) \geq 3$
The minimum value of $f(x)$ is 3 and is obtained when $2 x-1=0, \quad\left[\because\right.$ Minimum value of $(2 x-1)^2$ is 0$]$ i.e., when $x=\frac{1}{2}$. There is no maximum value of $f(x)$.
[ ∵ Maximum value of $f(x)=(2 x-1)^2+3 \rightarrow \infty$ as $x \rightarrow \infty$ and hence does not exist].
(ii) Given: $f(x)=9 x^2+12 x+2$

Making coefficient of $x^2$ unity,

$
=9\left[x^2+\frac{12 x}{9}+\frac{2}{9}\right]=9\left[x^2+\frac{4 x}{3}+\frac{2}{9}\right]
$
Add and subtract $\left(\frac{1}{2} \text { coeff of } x\right)^2$

$
\begin{gathered}
=\left(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}\right)^2=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 \\
=9\left[x^2+\frac{4 x}{3}+\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2-\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2+\frac{2}{9}\right]=9\left[\left(x+\frac{2}{3}\right)^2-\frac{4}{9}+\frac{2}{9}\right] \\
\text { or } f(x)=9\left(x+\frac{2}{3}\right)^2-4+2=9\left(x+\frac{2}{3}\right)^2-2
\end{gathered}
$


We know that for all $x \in R, 9\left(x+\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 \geq 0$
Adding -2 to both sides, $9\left(x+\frac{2}{3}\right)^2-2 \geq-2$
⇒ Using $(i), f(x) \geq-2$
∴ Minimum value of $f(x)$ is -2 and is obtained when

$
x+\frac{2}{3}=0 \text { i.e., when } x=-\frac{2}{3}
$


From (i), maximum value of $f(x) \rightarrow \infty$ as $x \rightarrow \infty$ (or as $x \rightarrow-\infty$ ) and hence does not exist.
(iii) Given: $f(x)=-(x-1)^2+10$

We know that for all $x \in \mathbf{R},(x-1)^2 \geq 0$
Multiplying by $-1,-(x-1)^2 \leq 0$
Adding 10 to both sides, $-(x-1)^2+10 \leq 10$
⇒ Using $(i), f(x) \leq 10$
∴ Maximum value of $f(x)$ is 10 and is obtained when $x-1 =0$ i.e., when $x=1$.
From $(i)$, minimum value of $f(x) \rightarrow-\infty$ as $x \rightarrow \infty$ (or as $x \rightarrow-\infty$ ) and hence does not exist.
(iv) Given: $g(x)=x^3+1$

As $x \rightarrow \infty, g(x) \rightarrow \infty$
As $x \rightarrow-\infty, g(x) \rightarrow-\infty$
∴ Maximum value of $g(x)$ does not exist and also minimum value of $g(x)$ does not exist.

Q2. Find the maximum and minimum values, if any, of the following functions given by (i) $f(x)=|x+2|-1$ (ii) $g(x)=-|x+1|+3$ (iii) $h(x)=\sin (2 x)+5$ (iv) $f(x)=|\sin 4 x+3|$ (v) $h(x)=x+1, x \in(-1,1)$

Solution: (i) Given: $f(x)=|x+2|-1$

We know that for all $x \in \mathbf{R},|x+2| \geq 0$
Adding -1 to both sides, $|x+2|-1 \geq-1$
⇒ Using $(i), f(x) \geq-1$
∴ Minimum value of $f(x)$ is -1 and is obtained when $x+2=0$ i.e, when $x=-2$.
From (i), maximum value of $f(x) \rightarrow \infty$ as $x \rightarrow \infty$ (or as $x \rightarrow-\infty$ ) and hence does not exist.
(ii) Given: $g(x)=-|x+1|+3$

We know that for all $x \in \mathrm{R},|x+1| \geq 0$
Multiplying by -1 to both sides

$
\Rightarrow-|x+1| \leq 0
$


Adding 3 to both sides,

$
\Rightarrow-|x+1|+3 \leq 3 \Rightarrow g(x) \leq 3
$

∴ The maximum value of $g(x)$ is 3 and is obtained when $|x+1|=0$, i.e., when $x+1=0$ i.e., when $x=-1$. There is no minimum value of $g(x)$. [Because minimum value of $g(x)=-|x+1|+3 \rightarrow-\infty$ as $x \rightarrow \pm \infty$ and hence does not exist].
(iii) Given: $h(x)=\sin (2 x)+5$

We know that for all $x \in \mathbf{R},-1 \leq \sin 2 x \leq 1$
Adding 5 to all sides, $-1+5 \leq \sin 2 x+5 \leq 1+5$

$
\Rightarrow \quad 4 \leq h(x) \leq 6
$

∴ Minimum value of $h(x)$ is 4 and maximum value is 6 .
(iv) Given: $\quad f(x)=|\sin 4 x+3|$

We know that for all $x \in \mathrm{R},-1 \leq \sin 4 x \leq 1$
Adding 3 throughout,

$
2 \leq \sin 4 x+3 \leq 4 \Rightarrow 2 \leq|\sin 4 x+3| \leq 4
$

$[\because \sin 4 x+3 \geq 2$ and hence $>0, \therefore|\sin 4 x+3|=\sin 4 x+3]$
∴ The minimum value of $f(x)$ is 2 and the maximum value of $f(x)$ is 4.
(v) Given: $h(x)=x+1, x \in(-1,1)$

Givens $x \in(-1,1) \Rightarrow-1Adding 1 to all sides, $1-1
$
\text { i.e., } 0$

∴ Neither minimum value nor maximum value of $h(x)$ exists.
(U) Equality sign is absent at both ends of inequality (ii). We know from (ii) that minimum value of $h(x)$ is $>0$ and maximum value is < 2 but what exactly they are can't be said).

Q3. Find the local maxima and local minima, if any, of the following functions. Find also the local maximum and the local minimum values, as the case may bes (i) $f(x)=x^2$ (ii) $g(x)=x^3-3 x$ (iii) $h(x)=\sin x+\cos x, 0<x<\frac{\pi}{2}$ (iv) $f(x)=\sin x-\cos x, 0<x<2 \pi$ (v) $f(x)=x^3-6 x^2+9 x+15 \quad$ (vi) $g(x)=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2}{x}, x>0$. (vii)$ g(x)=\frac{1}{x^2+2} \quad \text { (viii) } f(x)=x \sqrt{1-x}, x>0 $

Solution: (i) Given: $f(x)=x^2$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=2 x \text { and } f^{\prime \prime}(x)=2
$


Putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points, we have $2 x=0$

$
\text { or } \quad x=\frac{0}{2}=0
$

(Critical point)
Applying the second derivative test.
When $\quad x=0, f^{\prime \prime}(x)=2$ (positive)

$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \begin{aligned}
x & =0 \text { is a local minimum point and local minimum } \\
\text { value }=f(0) & =0^2 \\
& =0
\end{aligned} \\
& \text { [From (i)] }
\end{aligned}
$


Therefore, local minima at $x=0$ and local minimum value $=0$.
(ii)

$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { Given: } g(x)=x^3-3 x \\
& \therefore \quad g^{\prime}(x)=3 x^2-3 \text { and } g^{\prime \prime}(x)=6 x
\end{aligned}
$


Putting $g^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points, we have

$
3 x^2-3=0 \text { or } 3\left(x^2-1\right)=0 \text { or } 3(x+1)(x-1)=0
$


But $3=0$. Therefore, either $x+1=0$ or $x-1=0$

$
\text { i.e., } x=-1 \text { or } x=1 \text {. }
$

(Critical points)
Applying the second derivative test.
At $x=-1, g^{\prime \prime}(x)=6 x=6(-1)=-6$
(Negative)
$\therefore x=-1$ is a local maximum point and local maximum
value $=g(-1)=(-1)^3-3(-1) \quad$ [From (i)] $=-1+3=2$.
At $x=1, g^{\prime \prime}(x)=6 x=6(1)=6$ (positive)
$\therefore x=1$ is a local minimum point and local minimum value

$
=g(1)=1^3-3(1)=1-3=-2
$


Therefore, Local maximum at $x=-1$ and local maximum value $=2$. Local minimum at $x=1$ and local minimum value $=-2$.
(iii) Given: $h(x)=\sin x+\cos x\left(0$\therefore \quad h^{\prime}(x)=\cos x-\sin x$ and $h^{\prime \prime}(x)=-\sin x-\cos x$
Putting $h^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points,
we have cos $x-\sin x=0 \Rightarrow-\sin x=-\cos x$
Dividing by $-\cos x, \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}=1$ or $\tan x=1$
this is positive. Therefore, $x$ can have values in both Ist and IIIrd quadrants.
Here, $x$ is only in Ist quadrant

$
\left[\because 0$
$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \tan x=1=\tan \frac{\pi}{4} \\
& \therefore \quad x=\frac{\pi}{4} \text { (only critical point) } \\
& \text { At } \quad x=\frac{\pi}{4}, h^{\prime \prime}(x)=-\sin x-\cos x \\
& =-\sin \frac{\pi}{4}-\cos \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\
& =-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=-\sqrt{2} \text { is negative. }
\end{aligned}
$

$\therefore x=\frac{\pi}{4}$ is a local maximum point and local maximum value

$
\begin{aligned}
& =h\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\sin \frac{\pi}{4}+\cos \frac{\pi}{4} \\
& =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}
\end{aligned}
$

(From (i))
∴ Local maximum at $x=\frac{\pi}{4}$, and local maximum value $=\sqrt{2}$.
(iv) Given: $f(x)=\sin x-\cos x$
..(i) $(0$\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=\cos x+\sin x$
and $\quad f^{\prime \prime}(x)=-\sin x+\cos x$
Putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points, we have

$
\cos x+\sin x=0 \Rightarrow \sin x=-\cos x
$


Dividing by $\cos x, \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}=-1$
$\Rightarrow \tan x=-1$ is negative.
Therefore, $x$ is in both second and fourth quadrants.

$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad \tan x & =-1=-\tan \frac{\pi}{4} \\
& =\tan \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \text { or } \tan \left(2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\
\Rightarrow \quad \tan x & =\tan \frac{3 \pi}{4} \text { or } \tan \frac{7 \pi}{4} \\
\therefore \quad x & =\frac{3 \pi}{4} \text { and } x=\frac{7 \pi}{4}
\end{aligned}
$


Applying the second derivative test.
At $x=\frac{3 \pi}{4}, f^{\prime \prime}(x)=-\sin x+\cos x=-\sin \frac{3 \pi}{4}+\cos \frac{3 \pi}{4}$
$=-\sin \frac{4 \pi-\pi}{4}+\cos \frac{4 \pi-\pi}{4}=-\sin \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)+\cos \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
$
\begin{aligned}
& =-\sin \frac{\pi}{4}-\cos \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\
& =-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=-\sqrt{2} \text { (negative) }
\end{aligned}
$

$\therefore x=\frac{3 \pi}{4}$ is a local maximum point and local maximum value

$
\begin{aligned}
& =f\left(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)=\sin \frac{3 \pi}{4}-\cos \frac{3 \pi}{4} \\
& =\sin \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)-\cos \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\sin \frac{\pi}{4}+\cos \frac{\pi}{4} \\
& =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}
\end{aligned}
$


At $x=\frac{7 \pi}{4}$,

$
\begin{aligned}
f^{\prime \prime}(x) & =-\sin x+\cos x=-\sin \frac{7 \pi}{4}+\cos \frac{7 \pi}{4} \\
& =-\sin \left(\frac{8 \pi-\pi}{4}\right)+\cos \left(\frac{8 \pi-\pi}{4}\right) \\
& =-\sin \left(2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)+\cos \left(2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\
& =\sin \frac{\pi}{4}+\cos \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2} \quad \text { (Ponitive) }
\end{aligned}
$

$\therefore \quad x=\frac{7 \pi}{4}$ is a local minimum point and local minimum value

$
\begin{aligned}
& =f\left(\frac{7 \pi}{4}\right)=\sin \frac{7 \pi}{4}-\cos \frac{7 \pi}{4} \text { (From (i)) } \\
& =\sin \left(2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)-\cos \left(2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=-\sin \frac{\pi}{4}-\cos \frac{\pi}{4} \\
& =\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=-\sqrt{2}
\end{aligned}
$


Therefore, there is a local maximum at $x=\frac{3 \pi}{4}$ and local maximum value $=\sqrt{2}$. Local minima at $x=\frac{7 \pi}{4}$ and local minimum value $=-\sqrt{2}$.
(v) Given: $f(x)=x^3-6 x^2+9 x+15$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^2-12 x+9 \quad \text { and } \quad f^{\prime \prime}(x)=6 x-12
$


Putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points, we have

$
3 x^2-12 x+9=0
$


Dividing by
or

$
\begin{aligned}
3, x^2-4 x+3 & =0 \\
x^2-x-3 x+3 & =0 \quad \text { or } \quad(x-1)(x-3)=0
\end{aligned}
$
∴ Either $x-1=0$ or $x-3=0$
ie.
$x=1$ or $x=3$. (Critical points)
Applying the second derivative test.
When $x=1, f^{\prime \prime}(x)=6 x-12$

$
=6-12=-6
$

(negative)
$\therefore x=1$ is a local maximum point and local maximum value

$
=f(1)=(1)^3-6(1)^2+9(1)+15=1-6+9+15=19
$


When $x=3 \quad f^{\prime \prime}(x)=6 x-12=6(3)-12=6 \quad$ (positive)
$\therefore x=3$ is a local minimum point and local minimum value

$
\begin{aligned}
& =f(3)=(3)^2-6(3)^2+9(3)+15 \\
& =27-54+27+15=15
\end{aligned}
$


Therefore, there is a local maximum at $x=1$ and local maximum value $=19$.
Local minima at $x=3$ and local minimum value $=15$.
(vi)

$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { Given: } g(x)=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2}{x}, x>0 \\
& \therefore \quad g^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{x^2}=\frac{x^2-4}{2 x^2}=\frac{(x+2)(x-2)}{2 x^2}
\end{aligned}
$


For critical points, putting $g^{\prime}(x)=0$

$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{(x+2)(x-2)}{2 x^2}=0 \\
& \Rightarrow(x+2)(x-2)=0 \Rightarrow x=-2,2
\end{aligned}
$


But $x>0$ (given) $\therefore x=-2$ is rejected.
Hence $x=2$ is the only critical point.
Applying the first derivative test
When $x$ is slightly $<2$, let $x=1.9$
From (i), $\quad g^{\prime}(1.9)=\frac{(1.9+2)(1.9-2)}{21.9)^2}=\frac{(+\mathrm{ve})(-\mathrm{ve})}{(+\mathrm{ve})}=-\mathrm{ve}$
When $x$ is slightly $>2$, let $x=2.1$
$g^{\prime}(2.1)=\frac{(2.1+2)(2.1-2)}{22.1)^2}=\frac{(+\mathrm{ve})(+\mathrm{ve})}{(+\mathrm{ve})}=+\mathrm{ve}$
Thus, $g^{\prime}(x)$ changes sign from negative to positive as $x$ increases through 2.
$\therefore \quad x=2$ is a local minimum point and local minimum value

$
=g(2)=\frac{2}{2}+\frac{2}{2}=1+1=2
$


Note. Second derivative test, g “(x)

$
=\frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{2}{x^2}\right)=\frac{4}{x^1} \quad \therefore \quad g^{\prime \prime}(2)=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}>0
$

$\Rightarrow g(x)$ has local minimum value at $x=2$ and local minimum value $=g(2)=\frac{2}{2}+\frac{2}{2}=1+1=2$.
(vii) Given: $h(x)=\frac{1}{x^2+2}=\left(x^2+2\right)^{-1}$
$
\text { and } \quad \begin{aligned}
h^{\prime}(x) & =(-1)\left(x^2+2\right)^{-2}(2 x)=-\frac{2 x}{\left(x^2+2\right)^2} \\
& =-\left[\frac{\left(x^2+2\right)^2 \cdot 2-2 x \cdot 2\left(x^2+2\right) 2 x}{\left(x^2+2\right)^4}\right] \\
& =\frac{-2\left(x^2+2\right)\left[x^2+2-4 x^2\right)}{\left(x^2+2\right)^4}=\frac{-2\left(2-3 x^2\right)}{\left(x^2+2\right)^3}
\end{aligned}
$


Putting $h^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points, we have

$
\frac{-2 x}{\left(x^2+2\right)^2}=0 \Rightarrow-2 x=0 \Rightarrow x=\frac{0}{-2}=0
$


Applying the second derivative test.
At $x=0, \quad h^{\prime \prime}(x)=\frac{-2\left(2-3 x^2\right)}{\left(x^2+2\right)^3}=\frac{-2(2-0)}{(0+2)^3}=\frac{-4}{8}$

$
=\frac{-1}{2} \quad \text { (Negative) }
$

$\therefore \quad x=0$ is a local maximum point and local maximum value

$
=h(0)=\frac{1}{0+2}=\frac{1}{2} \quad(\text { From }(i))
$


Therefore, there is a local maximum at $x=0$ and local maximum value $=\frac{1}{2}$.
(viii) Given: $f(x)=x \sqrt{1-x}, x \leq 1$

$
\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore & f^{\prime}(x)=x \frac{1}{2}(1-x)^{-12} \frac{d}{d x}(1-x)+\sqrt{1-x} \cdot 1 \\
\therefore & f^{\prime}(x)=x+\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{1-x}}(-1)+\sqrt{1-x} \cdot 1 \\
= & \frac{-x}{2 \sqrt{1-x}}+\sqrt{1-x}=\frac{-x+2(1-x)}{2 \sqrt{1-x}}=\frac{2-3 x}{2 \sqrt{1-x}}
\end{array}
$


For critical points, putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$

$
\Rightarrow \frac{2-3 x}{2 \sqrt{1-x}}=0 \Rightarrow 2-3 x=0 \quad \therefore x=\frac{2}{3}
$


Applying the first derivative test.
When $x$ is slightly $<\frac{2}{3}$, let $x=0.6$
From $(i), f^{\prime}(0.6)=\frac{2-3(0.6)}{2 \sqrt{1-0.6}}=\frac{2-1.8}{2 \sqrt{0.4}}=\frac{0.2}{2 \sqrt{0.4}}>0$
When $x$ is slightly $>\frac{2}{3}$, let $x=0.7$
From $(i), f^{\prime}(0.7)=\frac{2-3 .(0.7)}{2 \sqrt{1-0.7}}=\frac{2-2.1}{2 \sqrt{0.3}}=\frac{-0.1}{2 \sqrt{0.3}}<0$
Thus, $f^{\prime}(x)$ changes sign from positive to negative as $x$ increases through $\frac{2}{3}$.
$\therefore x=\frac{2}{3}$ is a local maximum point and local maximum value

$
=f\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)=x \sqrt{1-x}=\frac{2}{3} \sqrt{1-\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{9} .
$


Note. Apply second derivative test.
Differentiating both sides of ( $i$ ) with respect to $x$,

$
\begin{aligned}
f^{\prime \prime}(x) & =\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{1-x} \cdot(-3)-(2-3 x) \cdot \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{1-x}}(-1)}{1-x} \\
f^{\prime \prime}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) & =\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)(-3)-0}{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{-9}{2 \sqrt{3}}=-\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{2}<0
\end{aligned}
$

$\therefore f(x)$ has local maximum value at $x=\frac{2}{3}$.

Q4. Prove that the following functions do not have maxima or minima: (i) $f(x)=e^x$ (ii) $g(x)=\log x$ (iii) $h(x)=x^3+x^2+x+1$.

Solution: (i) Given: $f(x)=e^x$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=e^x
$


Putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points, we have $e^2=0$. But this gives no real value of $x$.
[ ∵ $e^x>0$ for all real $x$ ]
∴ No critical point.
Hence $f(x)$ does not have maxima or minima.
(ii) Given: $g(x)=\log x$

$
\therefore \quad g^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{x}
$


Putting $g^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points, we have

$
\frac{1}{x}=0 \Rightarrow 1=0
$


But this is impossible.
∴ No critical point.
Hence $f(x)$ does not have maxima or minima.
(iii) $\quad h(x)=x^3+x^2+x+1$
$h^{\prime}(x)=3 x^2+2 x+1$
Putting $h^{\prime}(x)=0$, we have $3 x^2+2 x+1=0$
$\therefore x=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4-12}}{6}=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{-8}}{6}$
$
=\frac{-2 \pm 2 \sqrt{2} i}{6}=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{2} i}{3}
$


These values of $x$ are imaginary.
$\therefore h(x)$ does not have maxima or minima.

Q5. Find the absolute maximum value and the absolute minimum value of the following functions in the given intervals: (i) $f(x)=x^3, x \in[-2,2]$ (ii) $f(x)=\sin x+\cos x, x \in[0, \pi]$ (iii) $f(x)=4 x-\frac{1}{2} x^2, x \in\left[-2, \frac{9}{2}\right]$ (iv) $f(x)=(x-1)^2+3, x \in[-3,1]$

Solution: (i) Given: $f(x)=x^3, x \in[-2,2]$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^2
$


Putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points, we have

$
3 x^2=0 \Rightarrow x^2=0 \Rightarrow x=0 \in[-2,2]
$


To find absolute maximum and absolute minimum value of the function, we need to find values of $f(x)$ at (a) critical point(s) and (b) at end points of the given closed interval [-2, 2].
Substituting $x=0$ in (i), $f(0)=0$
Substituting $x=-2$ in (i), $f(-2)=(-2)^3=-8$
Substituting $x=2$ in $(i), f(2)=(2)^3=8$
Out of these three values of $f(x)$; absolute minimum value $=-8$ and absolute maximum value is 8 .
Remark. Ahsolute maximum and absolute minimum values of $f(x)$ are also called maximum and minimum values of $f(x)$.
(ii) Given: $f(x)=\sin x+\cos x, x \in[0, \pi]$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=\cos x-\sin x
$


Putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points, we have

$
\cos x-\sin x=0 \Rightarrow-\sin x=-\cos x
$


Dividing by – cos $x, \tan x=1$ is positive.
$\therefore x$ is in I and III quadrants.
But $x \in[0, \pi]$ (given) can’t be in third quadrant.
$\therefore x$ is in lst quadrant.
Therefore, $\tan x=1=\tan \frac{\pi}{4}$

$
\therefore \quad x=\frac{\pi}{4}
$


Now let us find values of $f(x)$ at critical point $x=\frac{\pi}{4}$ and at end points $x=0$ and $x=\pi$ of given closed interval $[0, \pi]$.

Putting

$
x=\frac{\pi}{4} \text { in }(i), f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\sin \frac{\pi}{4}+\cos \frac{\pi}{4}
$
$
=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}
$


Putting

$
\begin{aligned}
x & =0 \text { in }(i), f(0)=\sin 0+\cos 0 \\
& =0+1=1
\end{aligned}
$


Putting

$
\begin{aligned}
x & =\pi \text { in }(i), f(\pi)=\sin \pi+\cos \pi \\
& =0-1=-1
\end{aligned}
$

$\left[\because \sin \pi=\sin 180^{\circ}=\sin \left(180^{\prime \prime}-0^{\prime}\right)=\sin 0^{\prime}=0\right.$
and $\cos \pi=\cos 180^{\circ}=\cos \left(180^{\circ}-0^{\circ}\right)=-\cos 0^{\circ}=-1$ ]
∴ Absolute minimum value $=-1$ and absolute maximum value $=\sqrt{2}$.
(iii) Given: $f(x)=4 x-\frac{1}{2} x^2, x \in\left[-2, \frac{9}{2}\right]$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=4-\frac{1}{2}(2 x)=4-x .
$


Putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to find the critical points,
we have $4-x=0$

$
\text { i.e., }-x=-4 \text { i.e., } x=4 \in\left[-2, \frac{9}{2}\right]
$


Now let us find values of $f(x)$ at critical point $x=4$ and at end points $x=-2$ and $x=\frac{9}{2}$ of the given closed interval $\left[-2, \frac{9}{2}\right]$.
Substituting $x=4$ in $(i), f(4)=16-\frac{1}{2}(16)=16-8=8$
Substituting $x=-2$ in $(i), f(-2)=4(-2)-\frac{1}{2}(4)=-8-2=-10$

$
\begin{aligned}
\text { Putting } x & =\frac{9}{2} \text { in }(i), f\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)=4\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)-\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)^2 \\
& =18-\frac{81}{8}=\frac{144-81}{8}=\frac{63}{8}
\end{aligned}
$

∴ Absolute minimum value is -10 and absolute maximum value is 8 .
(iv)

Given: $f(x)=(x-1)^2+3, x \in[-3,1]$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=2(x-1) \frac{d}{d x}(x-1)+0=2(x-1)
$


Putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to find the critical points, we have $2(x-1)=0$

$
\Rightarrow x-1=\frac{0}{2}=0 \Rightarrow x=1 \in[-3,1]
$


Now let us find values of $f(x)$ at critical point $x=1$ and at the end point $x=-3$ of the given closed
interval $[-3,1](\because$ the other end point $x=1$ has already come out to be a critical point)

$
\begin{aligned}
\text { Putting } x & =-3 \text { in }(i), f(-3)=(-3-1)^2+3 \\
& =(-4)^2+3=16+3=19
\end{aligned}
$


Substituting $x=1$ in (i), $f(1)=(1-1)^2+3=0+3=3$
∴ Absolute minimum value is 3 and absolute maximum value is 19.
Note. To find absolute maximum or absolute minimum value of a function $f(x)$ when only one critical point comes out to be there and no closed interval is given, then we get only one value of $f(x)$ at such points and out of one value of $f^{\prime}(x)$ we can’t make a decision about maximum value or minimum value. In such problems, we have to depend upon local minimum value and local maximum value.

Q6. Find the maximum profit that a company can make, if the profit function is given by$ p(x)=41+24 x-18 x^2 $

Solution: Given: Profit function is $p(x)=41+24 x-18 x^2$

$
\therefore \quad p^{\prime}(x)=24-36 x \quad \text { and } \quad p^{\prime \prime}(x)=-36
$

(The logic of finding $p^{\prime \prime}(x)$ is given in the note above)
Putting $p^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points, we have

$
\begin{array}{ll}
& 24-36 x=0 \Rightarrow-36 x=-24 \\
\Rightarrow & x=\frac{24}{36}=\frac{2}{3}
\end{array}
$


At $x=\frac{2}{3}, p^{\prime \prime}(x)=-36 \quad$ (Negative)
$\therefore p(x)$ has a local maximum value and hence maximum value at $x=\frac{2}{3}$.
Substituting $x=\frac{2}{3}$ in (i),

$
\text { Maximum profit }=41+24\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)-18\left(\frac{4}{9}\right)=41+16-8=49
$


Remark. The original statement in N.C.E.R.T. book $p(x)=41-24 x-18 x^2$ is wrong, because with this $p(x)$, critical point comes out to be $x=-\frac{2}{3}$ which being the number of units produced or sold can’t be negative.

Q7. Find both the maximum value and the minimum value of $3 x^4-8 x^3+12 x^2-48 x+25$ on the interval $[0,3]$.

Solution: Let $f(x)=3 x^4-8 x^3+12 x^2-48 x+25$ on $[0,3]$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=12 x^3-24 x^2+24 x-48
$


Putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to find the critical points, we have

$
12 x^3-24 x^2+24 x-48=0
$


Dividing every term by $12, x^3-2 x^2+2 x-4=0$
$
\begin{array}{llc}
\text { or } \quad x^2(x-2)+2(x-2)=0 & \text { or } \quad(x-2)\left(x^2+2\right)=0 \\
\therefore \quad \text { Either } x-2=0 & \text { or } \quad x^2+2=0 \\
\Rightarrow \quad x=2 & \Rightarrow \quad x^2=-2 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad x= \pm \sqrt{-2}
\end{array}
$


These values of $x$ are imaginary and hence rejected.
Critical point $x=2 \in[0,3]$.
Now let us find values of $f(x)$ at critical point $x=2$ and end points $x=0$ and $x=3$ of closed interval [ 0,3 ].
Substituting $x=2$ in $(i), f(2)=3(16)-8(8)+12(4)-48(2)+25$

$
=48-64+48-96+25=-39
$


Substituting $x=0$ in (i), $f(0)=25$

$
\text { Putting } x=3 \text { in }(i), \begin{aligned}
f(3) & =3(81)-8(27)+12(9)-48(3)+25 \\
& =243-216+108-144+25 \\
& =27-36+25=16
\end{aligned}
$

∴ Minimum (absolute) value is – 39 (at $x=2$ ) and maximum (absolute) value is 25 (at $x=0$ ).

Q8. At what points on the interval $[0,2 \pi]$ does the function $\sin 2 x$ attain its maximum value?

Solution: Let $f(x)=\sin 2 x$, then $f^{\prime}(x)=2 \cos 2 x$
For maxima or minima, $f^{\prime}(x)=0$

$
\Rightarrow \cos 2 x=0 \quad \therefore 2 x=(2 n+1) \frac{\pi}{2} \text { or } x=(2 n+1) \frac{\pi}{4}
$


Putting $n=0,1,2,3 ; x=\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3 \pi}{4}, \frac{5 \pi}{4}, \frac{7 \pi}{4} \in[0,2 \pi]$
Now let us find values of $f^{\prime}(x)$ at these critical points.
Now $f(x)=\sin 2 x$

$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore\left[f(2 n+1) \frac{\pi}{4}\right] & =\sin (2 n+1) \frac{\pi}{2}=\sin \left(n \pi+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=(-1)^n \sin \frac{\pi}{2} \\
& =(-1)^n \quad\left[\because \sin (n \pi+\alpha)=(-1)^n \sin \alpha ; n \in 1\right]
\end{aligned}
$


Putting $n=0,1,2,3$,

$
\begin{array}{ll}
f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=(-1)^0=1, & f\left(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)=(-1)^1=-1 \\
f\left(\frac{5 \pi}{4}\right)=(-1)^2=1, & f\left(\frac{7 \pi}{4}\right)=(-1)^3=-1
\end{array}
$


Also let us find $f(x)$ at the end-points $x=0$ and $x=2 \pi$ of [0, 2π].
$f(0)=\sin 0=0, f(2 \pi)=\sin 4 \pi=0 \quad[\because \sin n \pi=0$ where $n \in \mathrm{I}]$
$\therefore f(x)$ attains its maximum value 1 at $x=\frac{\pi}{4}$ and $x=\frac{5 \pi}{4}$.
Hence, the required points are $\left(\frac{\pi}{4}, 1\right)$ and $\left(\frac{5 \pi}{4}, 1\right)$.

Q9. What is the maximum value of the function $\sin x+\cos x$ ?

Solution: Let $f(x)=\sin x+\cos x$

$
\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=\cos x-\sin x
$


Putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to find the critical points, we have

$
\cos x-\sin x=0 \Rightarrow-\sin x=-\cos x
$


Dividing by $-\cos x, \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}=1 \Rightarrow \tan x=1=\tan \frac{\pi}{4}$

$
\therefore \quad x=n \pi+\frac{\pi}{4} \text { where } n \in Z \text { (critical points) }
$

(: If $\tan \theta=\tan \alpha$, then $\theta=n \pi+\alpha$ where $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ )
Substituting $x=n \pi+\frac{\pi}{4}$ in $(i)$,

$
\begin{aligned}
f\left(n \pi+\frac{\pi}{4}\right) & =\sin \left(n \pi+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)+\cos \left(n \pi+\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\
& =(-1)^n \sin \frac{\pi}{4}+(-1)^n \cos \frac{\pi}{4}
\end{aligned}
$

$\left[\because \sin (n \pi+\alpha)=(-1)^n \sin \alpha\right.$ and cos $\left.(n \pi+\alpha)=(-1)^n \cos \alpha\right]$

$
\begin{aligned}
& =(-1)^n \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+(-1)^n \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=2(-1)^n \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \quad(\because t+t=2 t) \\
& =(-1)^n \sqrt{2}
\end{aligned}
$


If $n$ is even; then $(-1)^n=1$ and then $f\left(n \pi+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\sqrt{2}$
If $n$ is odd, then $(-1)^n=-1$; and then $f\left(n \pi+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=-\sqrt{2}$
∴ Maximum value of $f(x)$ is $\sqrt{2}$.
Note. Minimum value of $f(x)$ is $-\sqrt{2}$.

Q10. Find the maximum value of $2 x^3-24 x+107$ in the interval [1, 3]. Find the maximum value of the same function in [- 3, -1].

Solution: Let

$
f(x)=2 x^3-24 x+107
$


$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=6 x^2-24
$


Let us put $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to find the critical points.
i.e., $\quad 6 x^2-24=0 \Rightarrow 6 x^2=24$
Dividing by $6, x^2=24 \Rightarrow x= \pm 2$
$\therefore x=-2$ and $x=2$ are two critical points.
(a) Let us find maximum value of $f(x)$ given by (i) in the interval [1, 3].
From (ii), critical point $x=-2$ e $[1,3]$.
So let us find values of $f(x)$ at critical point $x=2$ and at end points $x=1$ and $x=3$ of closed interval [1, 3].

$
\text { Putting } x=2 \text { in }(i), \begin{aligned}
f(2) & =2 / 8)-24(2)+107 \\
& =16-48+107=123-48=75
\end{aligned}
$
Substituting $x=1$ in (i), $f(1)=2-24+107=109-24=85$
Substituting $x=3$ in $(f), f(3)=2(27)-24(3)+107$

$
=54-72+107=161-72=89
$

∴ Maximum value of $f(x)$ given by (i) in [1,3] is 89 (at $x=3$ ).
(b) Let us find maximum value of $f(x)$ given by (i) in the interval [- 3, – 1].
From (ii), critical point $x=2$ ig $[-3,-1]$
So let us find values of $f(x)$ at critical point $x=-2$ and at end points $x=-3$ and $x=-1$ of closed interval [-3, -1]
Putting

$
\begin{aligned}
x=-2 \text { in }(i), f(-2) & =2(-8)-24(-2)+107 \\
& =-16+48+107=139
\end{aligned}
$


Putting

$
\begin{aligned}
x=-3 \mathrm{in}(i), f(-3) & =2(-27)-24(-3)+107 \\
& =-54+72+107=125
\end{aligned}
$


Putting

$
\begin{aligned}
x=-1 \text { in }(i), f(-1) & =2(-1)-24(-1)+107 \\
& =-2+24+107=129
\end{aligned}
$

∴ Maximum value of $f(x)$ is 139 (at $x=-2$ ).

Q11. It is given that at $x=1$, the function $x^4-62 x^2+a x+9$ attains its maximum value, on the interval [0, 2]. Find the value of $a$.

Solution: Let $f(x)=x^4-62 x^2+a x+9$

$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=4 x^3-124 x+a
$


Because $f(x)$ attains its maximum value at $x=1$ in the interval $[0,2]$, therefore, $f^{\prime}(1)=0$.
Substituting $x=1$ in $(i), f^{\prime}(1)=4-124+a=0$
or $a-120=0$ or $a=120$.

Q12. Find the maximum and minimum value of $x+\sin 2 x$ on $[0,2 \pi]$.

Solution: Let $f(x)=x+\sin 2 x$

$
\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=1+2 \cos 2 x
$


Putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to find the critical points, we have

$
\begin{array}{rlrl}
& & 1+2 \cos 2 x & =0 \Rightarrow \\
\Rightarrow & \cos 2 x & =\frac{-1}{2} & =-\cos \frac{\pi}{3} \quad \\
\therefore & & =\cos \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\cos \frac{2 \pi}{3} \\
& \therefore & 2 x & =2 n \pi \\
& & \frac{2 \pi}{3} \text { where } n \in Z \\
& \because I f \cos \theta & =\cos \alpha, \text { then } \theta=2 n \pi \pm \alpha \text { where } n \in Z]
\end{array}
$


Dividing by $2, x=n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{3}$ where $n \in Z$
For $n=0, x= \pm \frac{\pi}{3}$. But $x=-\frac{\pi}{3} \in[0,2 \pi] \quad \therefore \quad x=\frac{\pi}{3}$
For $n=1, x=\pi \pm \frac{\pi}{3}=\pi+\frac{\pi}{3}$ and $\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}$
i.e., $\frac{4 \pi}{3}$ and $\frac{2 \pi}{3}$ and both belong to $[0,2 \pi]$
For $n=2, x=2 \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{3}$. But $x=2 \pi+\frac{\pi}{3}>2 \pi$ and hence $E[0,2 \pi]$

$
\therefore \quad x=2 \pi-\frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{5 \pi}{3}
$


It can be easily observed that for all other $n \in \mathrm{Z}$,

$
x=n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{3} \neq[0,2 \pi]
$

∴ The only critical points of $f(x)$ given by ( $i$ ) which belong to given closed interval [ $0,2 \pi$ ] are

$
x=\frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{2 \pi}{3}, \frac{4 \pi}{3}, \frac{5 \pi}{3}
$


Now let us find values of $f(x)$ at these four critical points and at the end points $x=0$ and $x=2 \pi$ of $[0,2 \pi]$.

Substituting $x=\frac{\pi}{3}$ in (i), $f\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\frac{\pi}{3}+\sin \frac{2 \pi}{3}$

$
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{\pi}{3}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=1.05+0.87 \\
& =1.92 \text { nearly }
\end{aligned}
$


$
\left(\because \frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{\frac{22}{7}}{3}=\frac{22}{21}=1.05 \text { and } \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{1.732}{2}=0.866=0.87\right)
$


$
\text { and }\left(\because \sin \frac{2 \pi}{3}=\sin \frac{3 \pi-\pi}{3}=\sin \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\sin \frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)
$


Substituting $x=\frac{2 \pi}{3}$ in (i), $f\left(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)=\frac{2 \pi}{3}+\sin \frac{4 \pi}{3}$

$
\begin{aligned}
& =2 \pi-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=2.10-0.87=1.23 \text { nearly } \\
& \left(\because \sin \frac{4 \pi}{3}=\sin \frac{3 \pi+\pi}{3}=\sin \left(\pi+\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=-\sin \frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)
\end{aligned}
$


Substituting $x=\frac{4 \pi}{3}$ in $(i), f\left(\frac{4 \pi}{3}\right)=\frac{4 \pi}{3}+\sin \frac{8 \pi}{3}$

$
\begin{gathered}
=\frac{4 \pi}{3}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=4(1.05)+0.87=4.20+0.87=5.07 \\
\left(\because \sin \frac{8 \pi}{3}=\sin \left(\frac{6 \pi+2 \pi}{3}\right)=\sin \left(2 \pi+\frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)=\sin \frac{2 \pi}{3}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)
\end{gathered}
$


$
\begin{aligned}
\text { Putting } x & =\frac{5 \pi}{3} \text { in (i), } f\left(\frac{5 \pi}{3}\right) \\
& =\frac{5 \pi}{3}+\sin \frac{10 \pi}{3}=\frac{5 \pi}{3}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
\end{aligned}
$
$
\begin{aligned}
& =5(1.05)-0.87=5.25-0.87=4.38 \text { nearly } \\
& {\left[\because \sin \frac{10 \pi}{3}=\sin \frac{6 \pi+4 \pi}{3}=\sin \left(2 \pi+\frac{4 \pi}{3}\right)=\sin \frac{4 \pi}{3}=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right]}
\end{aligned}
$


Substituting $x=0$ in (i), $f(0)=0+\sin 0=0$
Substituting $x=2 \pi$ in (i), $f(2 \pi)=2 \pi+\sin 4 \pi=2 \pi+0=2 \pi$

$
=23.14)=6.28 \text { nearly }(\% \sin n \pi=0 \text { for every integer } n)
$

∴ Maximum value $=2 \pi$ (at $x=2 \pi$ )
and minimum value $=0$ (at $x=0$ ).

Q13. Find two numbers whose sum is 24 and whose product is as large as possible.

Solution: Let the two numbers be $x$ and $y$.
Their sum $=24$ (given) $\Rightarrow x+y=24$

$
\therefore \quad y=24-x
$


Let $z$ denote their product i.e., product of $x$ and $y$
i.e., $\quad z=x y$
Substituting $y=24-x$ from (i),

$
z=x(24-x)=24 x-x^2
$


Now $z$ is a function of $x$ only.

$
\therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d x}=24-2 x \text { and } \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=-2
$


Putting $\frac{d z}{d x}=0$ to find the critical points, we have
$24-2 x=0$ i.e., $-2 x=-24$. Therefore, $x=12$.

$
\begin{aligned}
\text { At } x & =12, \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=-2 \text { (negative) } \\
\therefore \quad x & =12 \text { is a point of (local) maxima. }
\end{aligned}
$

(See Note at the end of solution of Q. No. 5)
$\therefore z$ is maximum at $x=12$.
Substituting $x=12$ in (i), $y=24-12=12$
∴ The two required numbers are 12 and 12.

Q14. Find two positive numbers $x$ and $y$ such that $x+y=60$ and $x y{ }^3$ is maximum.

Solution: Here $x+y=60, x>0, y>0$
-(i) (Given condition)
Let $\quad \mathbf{P}=x y^3$
…(ii) (To be maximised)
To express $\mathbf{P}$ in terms of one independent variable, (here better $y$, because power of $y$ is larger in the value of $\mathbf{P}$ ), we have from ( $i$ )

$
x=60-y,
$


Substituting $x=60-y$ in (ii), $\mathrm{P}=(60-y) y^2=60 y^2-y^4$

$
\therefore \quad \frac{d \mathrm{P}}{d y}=180 y^2-4 y^3=4 y^2(45-y)
$


To find maxima or minima, Putting $\frac{d \mathrm{P}}{d y}=0$

$
\Rightarrow 4 y^2(45-y)=0 \quad \Rightarrow y=0,45
$
Rejecting $y=0$ because $y>0 \quad \therefore y=45$
When $y$ is slightly $<45$, from (iii), $\frac{d \mathrm{P}}{d y}=(+\mathrm{ve})(+\mathrm{ve})=+\mathrm{ve}$
When $y$ is slightly $>45$, from (iii), $\frac{d P}{d y}=(+v e)(-v e)=-v e$
Thus, $\frac{d \mathrm{P}}{d y}$ changes sign from + ve to -ve as $y$ increases through 45 .
$\therefore P$ is maximum when $y=45$.
Hence, $x y^2$ is maximum when $x=60-45=15$
and

$
y=45 .
$

Q15. Find two positive numbers $x$ and $y$ such that their sum is 35 and the product $x^2 y^3$ is a maximum.

Solution: Given: $x+y=35 \Rightarrow y=35-x$

Let $\quad z=x^2 y^5$
Substituting $y=35-x$ from $(i), z=x^2(35-x)^5$
Now $z$ is a function of $x$ alone.

$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d x}=x^2 \cdot 5(35-x)^4(-1)+(35-x)^5 2 x \\
& \text { or } \quad \frac{d z}{d x}=x(35-x)^4[-5 x+(35-x) 2] \\
& \text { or } \quad \frac{d z}{d x}=x(35-x)^4(-5 x+70-2 x)=x(35-x)^4(70-7 x) \\
& \text { or } \quad \frac{d z}{d x}=7 x(35-x)^4(10-x)
\end{aligned}
$


Putting $\frac{d z}{d x}=0$ to find the critical points, we have

$
7 x(35-x)^4(10-x)=0
$


But $7 \neq 0 \quad \therefore$ Either $x=0$ or $35-x=0$ or $10-x=0$
i.e., $x=0$ or $x=35$ or $x=10$.
Now $x=0$ is rejected because $x$ is positive number (given).
Also, $x=35$ is rejected because for $x=35$, from $(i)$
$y=35-35=0$; but $y$ is given to be positive.
$\therefore \quad x=10$ is the only admissible critical point.
Applying the first derivative test because finding $\frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}$ is tedious as you and we think so.
We know that $(35-x)^4$ is never negative because index 4 is even. When $x$ is slightly $<10$ (say $x=9.8)$; from (ii),

$
\frac{d z}{d x}=(+)(+)(+)=(+)
$


When $x$ is slightly $>10$ (say $x=10.1$ ); from (ii),

$
\frac{d z}{d x}=(+)(+)(-)=(-)
$
$\therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d x}$ changes sign from ( + ) to ( – ) as $x$ increases while passing through 10 .
$\therefore \quad x=10$ gives a point of (local) maxima.
(See Note at the end of solution of Q. No. 5)
i.e., $z$ is maximum when $x=10$.
Substituting $x=10$ in (i), $y=35-10=25$.
∴ The two required numbers are 10 and 25 .

Q16. Find two positive numbers whose sum is 16 and sum of whose cubes is minimum.

Solution: Let the two positive numbers be $x$ and $y$.
Given: $x+y=16 \Rightarrow y=16-x$

Let $z$ denote the sum of their cubes i.e., $z=x^3+y^3$.
Substituting $y=16-x$ from $(i), z=x^3+(16-x)^3$

$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \quad z=x^3+(16)^3-x^3-48 x(16-x) \\
& \quad\left[\because(a-b)^3=a^3-b^3-3 a b(a-b)\right] \\
& \Rightarrow \quad z=(16)^3-768 x+48 x^2
\end{aligned}
$


Now $z$ is a function of $x$ alone.

$
\therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d x}=-768+96 x \text { and } \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=96
$


Putting $\frac{d z}{d x}=0$ to find the critical points, we have

$
-768+96 x=0 \Rightarrow 96 x=768 \Rightarrow x=\frac{768}{96}=8
$


At $x=8, \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=96 \quad$ (+)
$\therefore \quad x=8$ is a point of (local minima.
(See Note at the end of solution of Q. No. 5)
$\therefore \quad z$ is minimum when $x=8$.
Substituting $x=8$ in (i), $y=16-8=8$
∴ The required numbers are 8 and 8 .

Q17. A square piece of tin of side 18 cm is to be made into a box without top, by cutting a square from each corner and folding up the flaps to form the box. What should be the side of the square to be cut off so that the volume of the box is the maximum possible?

Solution: Given: Each side of square piece of tin is 18 cm .

Let $x \mathrm{~cm}$ be the side of each of the four squares cut off from each corner.
Then dimensions of the open box formed by folding the flaps after cutting off squares are $(18-2 x),(18-2 x), x \mathrm{~cm}$.
Let us call the volume $z$ of the open box.

$
\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore & z=\text { length } x \text { breadth } x \text { height } \quad=(18-2 x)(18-2 x) x \\
\text { or } & z=(18-2 x)^2 x=\left(324+4 x^2-72 x\right) x \\
\text { or } & z=4 x^2-72 x^2+324 x \\
\therefore & \frac{d z}{d x}=12 x^2-144 x+324 \text { and } \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=24 x-144
\end{array}
$


Putting $\frac{d z}{d x}=0$ to find the critical points, we have

$
12 x^2-144 x+324=0
$


Dividing by $12, x^2-12 x+27=0$

$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \quad x^2-9 x-3 x+27=0 \Rightarrow x(x-9)-3(x-9)=0 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad(x-9)(x-3)=0 \\
& \therefore \text { Either } x-9=0 \text { or } x-3=0 \\
& \text { i.e., } \begin{aligned}
x & =9 \\
x-9 & \text { or } \quad x=3
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
$


But $x=9$ is rejected because for $x=9$,
length of box $=18-2 x=18-18=0$ which is clearly impossible.
$\therefore x=3$ is the only critical point.
At $x=3, \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=24 x-144=72-144=-72$ (Negative)
$\therefore z$ is maximum at $x=3$.
i.e., side of (each) square to be cut off from each corner for maximum volume is 3 cm .
Remark. The reader is suggented to take a paper sheet in square shape and cut off four equal squares from four corners and fold the flaps to form a box for himself or herself.

Q18. A rectangular sheet of tin 45 cm by 24 cm is to be made into a box without top, by cutting off a square from each corner and folding up the flaps. What should be the side of the square to be cut off so that the volume of the box is maximum?

Solution: Dimensions of the rectangular sheet of tin are 45 cm and 24 cm . Let the side of the square cut off from each corner be $x \mathrm{~cm}$. Therefore, dimensions of the box are $45-2 x, 24-2 x$ and $x \mathrm{~cm}$.

The volume V of the box in cubic cm is given by

$
\begin{aligned}
V & =(45-2 x)(24-2 x)(x) \quad \text {

} \\
& =x\left(1080-138 x+4 x^2\right)=1080 x-138 x^2+4 x^3
\end{aligned}
$
$
\therefore \quad \frac{d V}{d x}=1080-276 x+12 x^2 \text { and } \frac{d^2 V}{d x^2}=-276+24 x
$


To find maxima or minima put $\quad \frac{d V}{d x}=0$

$
\Rightarrow \quad 1080-276 x+12 x^2=0,
$


Dividing by $12, x^2-23 x+90=0$

$
\Rightarrow \quad(x-5)(x-18)=0 \quad \therefore x=5,18
$


But $x=18$ is impossible because otherwise the dimension $24-2 x=24-36=-12$ is negative. $\therefore x=5$

$
\left[\frac{d^2 V}{d x^2}\right]_{x=5}=-276+120=-156<0
$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{V}$ is maximum when $x=5$
Hence, the box with maximum volume is obtained by cutting off equal squares of side 5 cm .

Q19. Show that of all the rectangles inscribed in a given fixed circle, the square has the maximum area.

Solution: Let PQRS be the rectangle inscribed in a given circle with centre O and radius $a$.
Let $x$ and $y$ be the length and breadth of the rectangle ( $\therefore x>$ 0 and $y>0$ )
In right angled triangle $\mathrm{PQR}, \mathrm{By}$ Pythagoras Theorem,
(given condition)

\section*{“}
(given condition)

Let A denote the area of the rectangle.

$
\therefore \quad \mathrm{A}=x y
$

-(ii) ( A is to be maximised)
To express A in terms of one independent variable, putting the value of $y$ from ( $i$ ) in ( $i i$ ), we have
or
or

$
\begin{gathered}
\mathrm{PQ}^2+\mathrm{QR}^2=\mathrm{PR}^2 \\
x^2+y^2=(2 a)^2 \\
y^2=4 a^2-x^2 \quad \therefore y=\sqrt{4 a^2-x^2}
\end{gathered}
$

or


$
\mathrm{A}=x \sqrt{4 a^2-x^2}
$


Let

$
z=A^2=x^2\left(4 a^2-x^2\right)=4 a^2 x^2-x^4
$


Let us maximise

$
z\left(=\mathrm{A}^2\right)
$


From (iii),

$
\frac{d z}{d x}=8 a^2 x-4 x^3
$

and

$
\frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=8 a^2-12 x^2
$


To find maxima or minima; put $\frac{d z}{d x}=0$
$
\therefore 8 a^2 x-4 x^3=0 \text { or } 4 x\left(2 a^2-x^2\right)=0
$


But $x$ being side of rectangle cannot be zero.

$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore 2 a^2-x^2=0 \text { or } x^2=2 a^2 \\
& \therefore \quad x=\sqrt{2} \quad a \\
& \text { At } \quad x=\sqrt{2} a, \quad \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=8 a^2-12\left(2 a^2\right)=8 a^2-24 a^2 \\
& \quad=-16 a^2 \text { is negative. } \\
& \quad z\left(=A^2\right) \text { is maximum when } x=\sqrt{2} a . \\
& \begin{aligned}
& \text { Putting } x=\sqrt{2} a \text { in }(i), y=\sqrt{4 a^2-2 a^2}=\sqrt{2 a^2} \quad=\sqrt{2} . a \\
& \therefore x=y=\sqrt{2} a \therefore \text { A is maximum when } x=y=\sqrt{2} a .
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
$


Hence, the area of the inscribed rectangle is maximum when it is a square.

Q20. Show that the right circular cylinder of given surface and maximum volume is such that its height is equal to the diameter of the base.

Solution: Let $x$ be the radius of the circular base and $y$ be the height of closed right circular cylinder. Total surface area of cylinder is given $(x>0, y>0)$
⇒ It is constant $=S$ (say)
∴ Curved surface area + area of two ends $=S$
$\Rightarrow 2 \pi x y+2 \pi x^2=S$ (Given condition)
Dividing every term by $2 \pi$
[To get a simpler relation in independent variables $x$ and $y$ ]

$
\begin{aligned}
x y+x^2 & =\frac{\mathbf{S}}{2 \pi}=k(\operatorname{say}) \\
\therefore \quad x y & =k-x^2 \text { or } y=\frac{k-x^2}{x}
\end{aligned}
$


Let us call the volume $z$ of cylinder

$
\therefore \quad z=\pi x^2 y
$

[Here $z$ is to be maximised]. Putting the value of $y$ from (i) in (ii) [to express $z$ in terms of one independent variable $x$ ]

$
\begin{aligned}
z & =\pi x^2\left(\frac{k-x^2}{x}\right) \text { or } z=\pi x\left(k-x^2\right)=\pi\left(k x-x^3\right) \\
\therefore \frac{d z}{d x} & =\pi\left(k-3 x^2\right) \text { and } \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=\pi(-6 x)=-6 \pi x
\end{aligned}
$


To find maxima or minima put $\frac{d z}{d x}=0 \therefore \pi\left(k-3 x^2\right)=0$
But $\pi \neq 0 \therefore k-3 x^2=0$ or $3 x^2=k$ or $x^2=\frac{k}{3} \quad \therefore x=\sqrt{\frac{k}{3}}$
At $x=\sqrt{\frac{k}{3}}, \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=-6 \pi x=-6 \pi \sqrt{\frac{k}{3}}$ is negative
$\therefore \quad z$ is max. at $x=\sqrt{\frac{k}{3}}$

Putting

$
\begin{aligned}
x & =\sqrt{\frac{k}{3}} \text { in }(i), y=\frac{k-\frac{k}{3}}{\sqrt{\frac{k}{3}}}=\frac{2 \frac{k}{3}}{\sqrt{\frac{k}{3}}} \\
& =2 \sqrt{\frac{k}{3}} \quad\left[\because \frac{t}{\sqrt{t}}=\sqrt{t}\right]
\end{aligned}
$

or

$
y=2 \sqrt{\frac{k}{3}}=2 x
$

[By (iii)]
t.e., Height $=$ Diameter

Hence, the volume of cylinder is maximum when its height is equal to the diameter of its base.
Remark 1. Right circular cylinder ⇒ Closed right circular cylinder.
Remark 2. Total surface area of open cylinder $=2 \pi x y+\pi x^2$.

Q21. Of all the elosed eylindrical cans (right circular), of a given volume of 100 cubic centimetres, find the dimensions of the can which has the minimum surface area?

Solution: Let $x \mathrm{~cm}$ be the radius and $y \mathrm{~cm}$ be the height of closed cylinder.
Given: Volume of closed cylinder $=100 \mathrm{cu} \mathrm{cm}$

$
\begin{array}{rlrl}
\Rightarrow & & \pi x^2 y & =100 \\
\Rightarrow & y & =\frac{100}{\pi x^2}
\end{array}
$


Let us call the surface area $z$ of cylinder.

$
\therefore \quad z=2 \pi x y \quad+\quad 2 \pi x^2
$

(Curved surface area) (Area of two ends) or $\quad z=2 \pi\left(x y+x^2\right)$

Substituting $y=\frac{100}{\pi x^2}$ from (i),

$
z=2 \pi\left(x \cdot \frac{100}{\pi x^2}+x^2\right)=2 \pi\left(\frac{100}{\pi x}+x^2\right)=2 \pi\left(\frac{100}{\pi} x^{-1}+x^2\right)
$


Now $z$ is a function of $x$ alone.

$
\therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d x}=2 \pi\left(-\frac{100}{\pi} x^{-2}+2 x\right)
$
$
\text { and } \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=2 \pi\left(\frac{200}{\pi} x^{-3}+2\right)
$


Putting $\frac{d z}{d x}=0$ to find the critical points, we have

$
\begin{aligned}
2 \pi\left(\frac{-100}{\pi x^2}+2 x\right) & =0 . \text { But } 2 \pi \neq 0 \\
\frac{-100}{\pi x^2}+2 x & =0 \Rightarrow \frac{-100}{\pi x^2}=-2 x
\end{aligned}
$


Cross-multiplying. $2 \pi x^3=100$

$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \quad x^3=\frac{100}{2 \pi}=\frac{50}{\pi} \\
& \therefore \quad x=\left(\frac{50}{\pi}\right)^{1 / 3} \\
& \text { At } \quad \begin{aligned}
x & =\left(\frac{50}{\pi}\right)^{1 / 3}, \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=2 \pi\left(\frac{200}{\pi x^3}+2\right) \\
& =2 \pi\left(\frac{200}{\pi\left(\frac{50}{\pi}\right)}+2\right)=2 \pi(4+2)=12 \pi(\text { positive })
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
$

$\therefore z$ is minimum (local) when radius $x=\left(\frac{50}{\pi}\right)^{1 / 3} \mathrm{~cm}$
(See Note at the end of solution of Q. No. 5)
Substituting $x=\left(\frac{50}{\pi}\right)^{1 / 3}$ in (i), $y=\frac{100}{\pi\left(\frac{50}{\pi}\right)^{2 / \pi}}$
⇒ Height $y=2 \cdot \frac{\frac{50}{\pi}}{\left(\frac{50}{\pi}\right)^{2 / 3}}=2\left(\frac{50}{\pi}\right)^{1-2 / 3}=2\left(\frac{50}{\pi}\right)^{1 / 3} \mathrm{~cm}$.
Remark. $y=2 x \quad$ (By (ii))

Q22. A wire of length 28 m is to be cut into two pieces. One of the pieces is to be made into a square and the other into a circle. What should be the length of the two pieces so that the combined area of the square and the circle is minimum?

Solution: Let $x$ metres be the side of the square and $y$ metres, the radius of the circle.

$
\begin{aligned}
\text { Length of wire } & =\text { Perimeter of square + Circumference of circle } \\
& =4 x+2 \pi y
\end{aligned}
$
4x
2nty

According to the question, $4 x+2 \pi y=28$ (Given condition)
Dividing by 2 ,

$
2 x+\pi y=14 \quad \therefore y=\frac{14-2 x}{\pi}
$


Area of square $=x^2$ sq. m . Area of circle $=\pi y^2$ sq. m
Let A denote their combined area, then

$
A=x^2+\pi y^2
$

[Here A is to be minimised]
Putting the value of $y$ from eqn. (i),
[To express A in terms of one independent variable x ]

$
A=x^2+\pi\left(\frac{14-2 x}{\pi}\right)^2=x^2+\pi\left(\frac{2(7-x)}{\pi}\right)^2=x^2+\pi \cdot \frac{4}{\pi^2}(7-x)^2
$

or $\quad \mathrm{A}=x^2+\frac{4}{\pi}(7-x)^2$

$
\therefore \quad \frac{d \mathrm{~A}}{d x}=2 x-\frac{8}{\pi}(7-x) \text { and } \frac{d^2 \mathrm{~A}}{d x^2}=2+\frac{8}{\pi}
$


To find maxima or minima, $\frac{d \mathrm{~A}}{d x}=0 \quad \therefore 2 x-\frac{8}{\pi}(7-x)=0$

$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore & & 2 x & =\frac{8}{\pi}(7-x) \\
\text { or } & & 2 \pi x & =56-8 x \text { or }(2 \pi+8) x=56 \\
\therefore & & x & =\frac{56}{2 \pi+8}=\frac{56}{2(\pi+4)}=\frac{28}{\pi+4}
\end{aligned}
$


Also $\frac{d^2 \mathrm{~A}}{d x^2}=2+\frac{8}{\pi}$ is +ve .

$
\therefore A \text { is minimum when } \quad x=\frac{28}{\pi+4} .
$


Hence, the wire should be cut at a distance $4 x=\frac{112}{\pi+4} \mathrm{~m}$ from one end.
Note 1. Length of circle $=2 \pi y$.
Putting the value of $y$ from ( $i$ ),

$
=28-4 x
$


Putting the value of $x$ from (ii),
Length of circle $=28-\frac{112}{\pi+4}=\frac{28 \pi}{\pi+4}$
∴ The length of two parts (square and circle) are respectively $\frac{112}{\pi+4} \mathrm{~m}$ and $\frac{28 \pi}{\pi+4} \mathrm{~m}$.
Note 2. Side of square $=x=\frac{28}{\pi+4}$
From (i), Radius of circle $=y=\frac{14-2 x}{\pi}=\frac{14-2\left(\frac{28}{\pi+4}\right)}{\pi}$

$
=\frac{14 \pi+56-56}{\pi(\pi+4)}=\frac{14 \pi}{\pi(\pi+4)}=\frac{14}{\pi+4}
$


Therefore, diameter of circle $=\frac{28}{\pi+4}$
∴ Side of square $=$ Diameter of circle.

Q23. Prove that the volume of the largest cone that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius $R$ is $\frac{8}{27}$ of the volume of the sphere.

Solution: Let O be the centre and R be the radius of the given sphere.
Let $\mathbf{B M}=x$ and $\mathbf{A M}=y$ be the radius and height of any cone inscribed in the given sphere.
In right angled triangle OMB, By Pythagoras Theorem,

$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{OM}^2+\mathrm{BM}^2=\mathrm{OB}^2 \\
\Rightarrow & (y-\mathrm{R})^2+x^2=\mathrm{R}^2[\because \quad \mathrm{OM}=\mathrm{AM}-\mathrm{OA}=y-\mathrm{R}] \\
\Rightarrow & y^2+\mathrm{R}^2-2 \mathrm{Ry}+x^2=\mathrm{R}^2 \Rightarrow x^2+y^2-2 \mathrm{Ry}=0 \\
\Rightarrow & x^2=2 \mathrm{Ry}-y^2
\end{aligned}
$


Let us call the volume $z$ of any cone inscribed in the given sphere.

$
\therefore \quad z=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 y
$


Putting the value of $x^2$ from $(i)$,

$
z=\frac{\pi}{3}\left(2 R y-y^2\right) y=\frac{\pi}{3}\left(2 R y^2-y^3\right)
$


Now $z$ is a function of $y$ alone.

$
\therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d y}=\frac{\pi}{3}\left(4 R y-3 y^2\right) \text { and } \frac{d^2 z}{d y^2}=\frac{\pi}{3}(4 R-6 y)
$


Putting $\frac{d z}{d y}=0$ to find the critical points, we have $\frac{\pi}{3}\left(4 R y-3 y^2\right)=0$
But $\frac{\pi}{3} \neq 0$. Therefore $4 \mathrm{Ry}-3 y^2=0 \Rightarrow-3 y^2=-4 \mathrm{Ry}$
Dividing both sides by $-y \neq 0$,

$
3 y=4 R \Rightarrow y=\frac{4 R}{3}
$


At

$
\begin{aligned}
y & =\frac{4 R}{3}, \frac{d^2 z}{d y^2}=\frac{\pi}{3}(4 R-6 y)=\frac{\pi}{3}(4 R-8 R) \\
& =\frac{\pi}{3}(-4 R)=-\frac{4 R}{3} \quad \text { (Negative) }
\end{aligned}
$

$\therefore \quad z$ is maximum at $y=\frac{4 R}{3}$

Substituting $y=\frac{\mathbf{4 R}}{3}$ from (fit) in (f), we have

$
\begin{aligned}
x^2 & =2 R \cdot \frac{4 R}{3}-\left(\frac{4 R}{3}\right)^2=\frac{8 R^2}{3}-\frac{16 R^2}{9} \\
& =8 R^2\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{2}{9}\right)=8 R^2\left(\frac{3-2}{9}\right) \quad \Rightarrow \quad x^2=\frac{8 R^2}{9}
\end{aligned}
$

∴ Maximum volume $z$ of the cone

$
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{1}{3} \pi x^2 y=\frac{1}{3} \pi \cdot \frac{8 \mathbf{R}^2}{9} \cdot \frac{4 \mathbf{R}}{3}=\frac{8}{27} \cdot \frac{4 \boldsymbol{\pi}}{3} \mathbf{R}^3 \\
& =\frac{8}{27} \text { (Volume of the sphere). }
\end{aligned}
$

Q24. Show that the right circular cone of least eurved surface and given volume has an altitude equal to $\sqrt{2}$ time the radius of the base.

Solution: Let $x$ be the base radius and $y$ be the height of cone.
Given Volume ⇒ Volume of the cone is constant

$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { and }=\mathrm{V}(\text { say }) \\
& \therefore \quad \frac{1}{3} \pi x^2 y=\mathrm{V}(\text { Given condition }) \\
& \therefore \quad x^2 y=\frac{3 \mathrm{~V}}{\pi}=k \quad(\text { say }) \ldots(i)
\end{aligned}
$


Let S denote the curved surface of the cone

$
\therefore S=\pi x \sqrt{x^2+y^2} \quad \text { (formula } S=\beta r l \text { ) }
$

( S is to be minimised here)
Let $z=S^2=\pi^2 x^2\left(x^2+y^2\right)$

Putting $x^2=\frac{k}{y}$ from (i) in (ii) to get $z$ as a function of single independent variable $y$.
[Here, we are getting $z$ as a simpler function

of $y$ as compared to $z$ as a function of $x]$
$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad z=\pi^2 \frac{k}{y}\left(\frac{k}{y}+y^2\right)=\pi^2 k\left(\frac{k}{y^2}+y\right) \\
& \text { or } z=\pi^2 k\left(k y^{-2}+y\right) \\
& \therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d y}=\pi^2 k\left[-2 k y^{-3}+1\right] \text { and } \frac{d^2 z}{d y^2}=\pi^2 k\left[6 k y^{-4}\right]=\frac{6 \pi^2 k^2}{y^4}
\end{aligned}
$


To find maxima or minima, put $\frac{d z}{d y}=0$

$
\begin{array}{rlrlrl}
\therefore & & \pi^2 k\left(-\frac{2 k}{y^3}+1\right) & =0 & \text { But } & \\
\pi^2 k & =0 \\
\therefore & -\frac{2 k}{y^3}+1 & =0 & & \text { or } & \\
\therefore & \frac{2 k}{y^3} & =1 \\
y^3 & =2 k & & & y & =(2 k)^{1 . a}
\end{array}
$


At $\quad y=(2 k)^{1 / 2}, \frac{d^2 z}{d y^2}=\frac{6 \pi^2 k^2}{(2 k)^{4 / 3}}$ this is positive.
$\therefore \quad z$ is least when $y=(2 k)^{1 / 3}$

$
\text { ∴ From }(i), x^2=\frac{k}{y}=\frac{k}{(2 k)^{1 / 5}}
$

or

$
x^2=\frac{2 k}{2(2 k)^{1 / 3}}=\frac{(2 k)^{2 / 3}}{2}=\frac{y^2}{2}
$

[By (iii)]
or $y^2=2 x^2 \quad \therefore y=\sqrt{2} x$
$\therefore \quad z$ or $S$ is least when height $=\sqrt{2}$ (radius of base).

Q25. Show that the semi-vertical angle of the cone of the maximum volume and of given slant height is $\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{2}$.

Solution: Let $x$ be the base radius, $y$ the height, $l$ the given slant height and $\theta$, the semi-vertical angle of cone, $(x>0, y>0)$
In AAMB,
By Pythagoras Theorem, $x^2+y^2=l^2$

$
\therefore \quad x^2=l^2-y^2
$


Let V denote the volume of cone, then

$
v=\frac{1}{3} \pi x^2 y
$

-(ii) [V is to
be maximised here] Putting $x^2=l^2-y^2$ from (i) in (ii), to express V as a function of single independent variable $y$.
or

$
\mathrm{v}=\frac{1}{3} \pi\left(t^2-y^2\right) y
$

or $\quad \mathrm{V}=\frac{\pi}{3}\left(l^2 y-y^3\right)$

$
\therefore \quad \frac{d V}{d y}=\frac{\pi}{3}\left(l^2-3 y^2\right)
$
and $\frac{d^2 V}{d y^2}=\frac{\pi}{3}(-6 y)=-2 \pi y$
To find maxima or minima put $\frac{d V}{d y}=0$

$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \frac{\pi}{3}\left(l^2-3 y^2\right)=0 \quad \text { But } \quad \frac{\pi}{3} \neq 0 \\
& \therefore \quad l^2-3 y^2=0 \quad \text { or } \quad 3 y^2=l^2 \quad \text { or } y^2=\frac{l^2}{3} \\
& \therefore \quad y=\frac{l}{\sqrt{3}}
\end{aligned} \quad(\because y>0)
$


At $\quad y=\frac{l}{\sqrt{3}}, \frac{d^2 V}{d y^2}=-2 \pi y=-\frac{2 \pi l}{\sqrt{3}}$ this is negative.
$\therefore \mathrm{V}$ is maximum at $y=\frac{l}{\sqrt{3}}$.
Substituting $y=\frac{l}{\sqrt{3}}$ in eqn. (i), $\quad x^2=l^2-\frac{l^2}{3}=\frac{2 l^2}{3}$

$
\therefore \quad x=\sqrt{2} \frac{l}{\sqrt{3}}
$


In right angled $\triangle \mathrm{AMB}, \quad \tan \theta=\frac{\mathrm{MB}}{\mathrm{AM}}=\frac{x}{y}=\frac{\sqrt{2} \frac{l}{\sqrt{3}}}{\frac{l}{\sqrt{3}}}=\sqrt{2}$
∴ Semi-vertical angle

$
\theta=\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{2} .
$

Q26. Show that semi-vertical angle of right circular cone of given surface area and maximum volume is $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$.

Solution: Let $x$ be the radius of base of cone and $y$ be its height. (Total) surface area of cone is given.
$\therefore \pi r l$
$\downarrow$
(Curved $\quad$ (Area of base)
Surface area)

$
\Rightarrow \pi x \sqrt{x^2+y^2}+\pi x^2=S(\operatorname{san})
$


Dividing both sides by $\pi$,

$
\begin{aligned}
& x \sqrt{x^2+y^2}+x^2=\frac{S}{\pi}=k \text { (say) } \\
\Rightarrow & x \sqrt{x^2+y^2}=k-x^2
\end{aligned}
$


Squaring both sides, we have $x^2\left(x^2+y^2\right)=\left(k-x^2\right)^2$

$
\text { or } \quad x^4+x^2 y^2=k^2+x^4-2 k x^2
$
$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \quad x^2 y^2+2 k x^2=k^2 \quad \Rightarrow x^2\left(y^2+2 k\right)=k^2 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad x^2=\frac{k^2}{y^2+2 k}
\end{aligned}
$


Let us call the volume $z$ of the cone.

$
\therefore \quad z=\frac{1}{3} \pi x^2 y
$


Putting the value of $x^2$ from $(i)$,

$
\begin{array}{rlrl}
z & =\frac{1}{3} \pi \frac{k^2}{y^2+2 k} y=\frac{1}{3} \pi k^2 \frac{y}{y^2+2 k} \\
\therefore & \frac{d z}{d y} & =\frac{1}{3} \pi k^2 \frac{d}{d y} \frac{y}{y^2+2 k} \\
\text { or } & \frac{d z}{d y} & =\frac{1}{3} \pi k^2\left[\frac{\left(y^2+2 k\right) \cdot 1-y \cdot 2 y}{\left(y^2+2 k\right)^2}\right] \text { (By quotient rule) } \\
\therefore & \frac{d z}{d y} & =\frac{1}{3} \pi k^2 \frac{\left(2 k-y^2\right)}{\left(y^2+2 k\right)^2}
\end{array}
$


Putting $\frac{d z}{d y}=0$ to find the critical points, we have

$
\frac{\pi k^2\left(2 k-y^2\right)}{3\left(y^2+2 k\right)^2}=0 \Rightarrow \pi k^2\left(2 k-y^2\right)=0
$


But $\pi k^2 \neq 0 \quad \therefore \quad 2 k-y^2=0 \Rightarrow y^2=2 k$

$
\therefore \quad y= \pm \sqrt{2 k}
$


Rejecting negative sign because height $y$ of cone can’t be negative.
$\therefore y=\sqrt{2 k}$ is the only critical point.
Applying the first derivative test.
(because finding $\frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}$ looks to be tedious)
Now in R.H.S. of (ii), $\frac{\pi k^2}{3\left(y^2+2 k\right)^2}>0$ clearly.
When $y$ is slightly $<\sqrt{2 k}$; then $y^2<2 k$
$\Rightarrow 0<2 k-y^2 \Rightarrow 2 k-y^2>0$, therefore from (ii), $\frac{d z}{d y}>0$ i.e., (positive)
When $y$ is slightly $>\sqrt{2 k}$, then $y^2>2 k \Rightarrow 0>2 k-y^2$
$\Rightarrow 2 k-y^2<0$; therefore from (ii) $\frac{d z}{d y}<0$ i.e., (negative)
$\therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d y}$ changes sign from $(+)$ to $(-)$ as $y$ increases through $\sqrt{2 k}$
$\therefore \quad$ Volume $z$ is maximum at $y=\sqrt{2 k}$
Substituting $y=\sqrt{2 k}$ in $(i), x^2=\frac{k^2}{2 k+2 k}=\frac{k^2}{4 k}=\frac{k}{4}$

$
\therefore \quad x=\sqrt{\frac{k}{4}}=\frac{\sqrt{k}}{2}
$


Let $\alpha$ be the semi-vertical angle of the cone.
In right angled $\triangle O M B$,

$
\sin \alpha=\frac{\mathrm{MB}}{\mathrm{OB}}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}
$


Putting values of $x$ and $y, \sin \alpha=\frac{\frac{\sqrt{k}}{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{k}{4}+2 k}}=\frac{\frac{\sqrt{k}}{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{9 k}{4}}}=\frac{\frac{\sqrt{k}}{2}}{3 \frac{\sqrt{k}}{2}}=\frac{1}{3}$

$
\therefore \quad \alpha=\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{3}
$


Choose the correct answer in the Exercises 27 to 29.

Q27. The point on the curve $x^2=2 y$ which is nearest to the point $(0,5)$ is (A) $(2 \sqrt{2}, 4)$ (B) $(2 \sqrt{2}, 0)$ (C) $(0,0)$ (D) $(2,2)$.

Solution: Equation of the curve (upward parabola here) is

$
x^2=2 y
$


The given point is $A(0,5)$.
Let $\mathrm{P}(x, y)$ be any point on curve (i).
∴ Distance $z=$ AP

$
=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-5)^2}
$


1 Distance formula
Let

$
\mathrm{Z}=z^2=x^2+(y-5)^2
$


Putting

$
\begin{array}{ll}
& \mathrm{Z} \\
\text { or } & \mathrm{Z} \\
\therefore & \frac{d \mathrm{Z}}{d y} \\
\therefore & =2 y-8 \text { and } \frac{d^2 \mathrm{Z}}{d y^2}=2
\end{array}
$


Putting $\quad \frac{d Z}{d y}=0$ to get critical point(s), we have

$
\frac{d Z}{d y}=0 \text { i.e., } 2 y-8=0 \Rightarrow 2 y=8 \Rightarrow y=4
$


At

$
y=4, \quad \frac{d^2 \mathrm{Z}}{d y^2}=2 \text { is }(+\mathrm{ve})
$

$\therefore \mathbb{Z}\left(=z^2\right)$ is minimum and hence $z$ is minimum at $y=4$.
Substituting $y=4$ in $(i), x^2=8 \quad \therefore \quad x= \pm \sqrt{8}= \pm 2 \sqrt{2}$.
$\therefore \quad(2 \sqrt{2}, 4)$ and $(-2 \sqrt{2}, 4)$ are two points on curve $(i)$ which are nearest to the given point ( 0,5 ).
∴ Option (A) is correct answer.

Q28. For all real values of $x$, the minimum value of $\frac{1-x+x^2}{1+x+x^2}$ is (A) 0 (B) 1 (C) 3 (D) $\frac{1}{3}$.

Solution: Given: Let $f(x)=\frac{1-x+x^2}{1+x+x^2}$

$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore f^{\prime}(x) & =\frac{\left(1+x+x^2\right) \frac{d}{d x}\left(1-x+x^2\right)-\left(1-x+x^2\right) \frac{d}{d x}\left(1+x+x^2\right)}{\left(1+x+x^2\right)^2} \\
& =\frac{\left(1+x+x^2\right)(-1+2 x)-\left(1-x+x^2\right)(1+2 x)}{\left(1+x+x^2\right)^2} \\
\text { or } f^{\prime}(x) & =\frac{-1+2 x-x+2 x^2-x^2+2 x^3-1-2 x+x+2 x^2-x^2-2 x^3}{\left(1+x+x^2\right)^2} \\
\text { or } f^{\prime}(x) & =\frac{-2+2 x^2}{\left(1+x+x^2\right)^2}=\frac{-2\left(1-x^2\right)}{\left(1+x+x^2\right)^2}
\end{aligned}
$


Let us put $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points.
Therefore $\frac{-2\left(1-x^2\right)}{\left(1+x+x^2\right)^2}=0 \Rightarrow-2\left(1-x^2\right)=0$
But $-2 \neq 0$. Therefore, $1-x^2=0$ or $-x^2=-1$
$\therefore x^2=1 \Rightarrow x= \pm 1$
$\therefore x=-1$ and $x=1$ are two critical points.
Let us find values of $f(x)$ at these two critical points only because no closed interval is given to be domain of $f(x)$.
Substituting $x=-1$ in $(i), \quad f(-1)=\frac{1+1+1}{1-1+1}=3$
Substituting $x=1$ in $(i), f(1)=\frac{1-1+1}{1+1+1}=\frac{1}{3}$
Therefore, minimum value of $f(x)$ is $\frac{1}{3}$.
Hence, option (D) is correct.
Note. Maximum value of $f(x)$ for the above question is 3 .

Q29. The maximum value of $[x(x-1)+1]^{1 / 3}, 0 \leq x \leq 1$ is (A) $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{1 / 3}$ (B) $\frac{1}{2}$ (C) 1 (D) $\frac{1}{3}$.

Solution: Let $f(x)=(x(x-1)+1)^{1 / 3}=\left(x^2-x+1\right)^{1 / 3}, 0 \leq x \leq 1$
$\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{3}\left(x^2-x+1\right)^{-23} \frac{d}{d x}\left(x^2-x+1\right)$
or $f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{(2 x-1)}{3\left(x^2-x+1\right)^{2 / 3}}$
Putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points, we have

$
\frac{2 x-1}{3\left(x^2-x+1\right)^{2 / 3}}=0
$


Cross-multiplying $2 x-1=0 \Rightarrow 2 x=1 \Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2}$
This critical point $x=\frac{1}{2}$ belongs to the given closed interval $0 \leq x \leq 1$ i.e., $[0,1]$
Now let us find values of $f(x)$ at the critical point $x=\frac{1}{2}$ and end points $x=0$ and $x=1$ of given closed interval $[0,1]$.
Substituting $x=\frac{1}{2}$ in $(i)$,

$
f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{2}+1\right)^{1 / 3}=\left(\frac{1-2+4}{4}\right)^{1 / 3}=\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{1 / 3}<1
$


Substituting $x=0$ in (i), $f(0)=(1)^{1 / 2}=1$
Substituting $x=1$ in $(i), f(1)=(1-1+1)^{1 / 3}=(1)^{1 / 3}=1$
∴ Maximum value of $f(x)$ is 1 .
Hence, option (C) is correct.
Note. Minimum value of $f(x)$ for the above question is $\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{1 / 3}$.

Miscellaneous Exercise
Q1. Show that the function given by $f(x)=\frac{\log x}{x}$ has maximum at $x=$ e.

Solution:
$\begin{array}{l}
\text { Here } f(x)=\frac{\log x}{x}, x>0 \\
\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{x \cdot \frac{1}{x}-\log x \cdot 1}{x^2}=\frac{1-\log x}{x^2} \\
\text { and } f^{\prime \prime}(x)=\frac{x^2\left(-\frac{1}{x}\right)-(1-\log x) \cdot 2 x}{x^4}=\frac{-x-2 x+2 x \log x}{x^4} \\
\quad=\frac{2 x \log x-3 x}{x^4}=\frac{x(2 \log x-3)}{x^4}=\frac{2 \log x-3}{x^4}
\end{array}$


For local max. or local min., put $f^{\prime}(x)=0$

$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \frac{1-\log x}{x^2}=0 \\
& \Rightarrow 1-\log x=0 \Rightarrow \log x=1=\log e \Rightarrow x=e
\end{aligned}
$


Now from (iii), $f^{\prime \prime}(e)=\frac{2 \log e-3}{e^3}=\frac{2-3}{e^3}=-\frac{1}{e^3}<0$
$\Rightarrow x=e$ is a local maximum point and hence $f(x)$ has a maximum (value) at $x=e$.

Q2. The two equal sides of an isosceles triangle with fixed base $b$ are decreasing at the rate of 3 cm per second. How fast is the area decreasing when the two equal sides are equal to the base?

Solution: Let $\mathrm{BC}=b$ be the fixed base and $\mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{AC}=x$ be the two equal sides of the isosceles triangle ABC.
Given: $\frac{d x}{d t}=-3 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}$
Draw $\mathrm{AM} \perp \mathrm{BC}$, then M is mid-point of BC ( $\because \mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{AC}$ (given))

$
\therefore \quad \mathrm{BM}=\mathrm{CM}=\frac{1}{2} b
$


Area of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ is $(\Delta)=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{BC} \times \mathrm{AM}$

$
\begin{aligned}
& \left\lvert\, \frac{1}{2}\right. \text { Base × Height } \\
= & \frac{b}{2} \sqrt{\mathrm{AC}^2-\mathrm{MC}^2}=\frac{b}{2} \sqrt{x^2-\frac{b^2}{4}} \\
= & \frac{b}{2} \sqrt{\frac{4 x^2-b^2}{4}}=\frac{b}{4} \sqrt{4 x^2-b^2}
\end{aligned}
$
$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \frac{d \Delta}{d t}= & \frac{d}{d t}\left(\frac{b}{4} \sqrt{4 x^2-b^2}\right) \\
= & \frac{b}{4} \times \frac{d}{d x}\left(\sqrt{4 x^2-b^2}\right) \times \frac{d x}{d t}[\text { By Chain Rule }] \\
= & \frac{b}{4} \times \frac{8 x}{2 \sqrt{4 x^2-b^2}} \times(-3)[\text { Using }(i)] \\
& {\left[\because \frac{d}{d x} \sqrt{f(x)}=\frac{f(x)}{2 \sqrt{f(x)}}\right] }
\end{aligned}
$

or $\frac{d \Delta}{d t}=-\frac{3 b x}{\sqrt{4 x^2-b^2}} \mathrm{~cm}^2 / \mathrm{s}$
When the two equal sides are equal to the base (given) i.e., when $x=b$,
We have on putting $x=b, \frac{d \Delta}{d t}=-\frac{3 b \times b}{\sqrt{4 b^2-b^2}}=-\frac{3 b^2}{\sqrt{3} b}$

$
=-\sqrt{3} b \mathrm{~cm}^2 / \mathrm{s}
$


Hence, the area is decreasing ( $\because \frac{d \Delta}{d t}$ is negative) at the rate of $\sqrt{3} b \mathrm{~cm}^2 / \mathrm{s}$.

Q3. Find the intervals in which the function $f$ given by $f(x)=\frac{4 \sin x-2 x-x \cos x}{2+\cos x}$ is (i) increasing (ii) decreasing.

Solution: $
\begin{aligned}
& \text { Given: } f(x)=\frac{4 \sin x-2 x-x \cos x}{2+\cos x} \\
& =\frac{4 \sin x-x(2+\cos x)}{2+\cos x}=\frac{4 \sin x}{2+\cos x}-\frac{x(2+\cos x)}{2+\cos x} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad f(x)=\frac{4 \sin x}{2+\cos x}-x \\
& \therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{(2+\cos x) \frac{d}{d x}(4 \sin x)-4 \sin x \frac{d}{d x}(2+\cos x)}{(2+\cos x)^2}-1 \\
& \text { or } \quad f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{(2+\cos x)(4 \cos x)-4 \sin x(-\sin x)}{(2+\cos x)^2}-1 \\
& =\frac{8 \cos x+4 \cos ^2 x+4 \sin ^2 x}{(2+\cos x)^2}-1=\frac{8 \cos x+4}{(2+\cos x)^2}-1
\end{aligned}
$

$
\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow \quad f^{\prime}(x) & =\frac{8 \cos x+4-(2+\cos x)^2}{(2+\cos x)^2} \\
& =\frac{8 \cos x+4-4-\cos ^2 x-4 \cos x}{(2+\cos x)^2} \\
\Rightarrow \quad f^{\prime}(x) & =\frac{4 \cos x-\cos ^2 x}{(2+\cos x)^2}=\cos x \frac{(4-\cos x)}{(2+\cos x)^2}
\end{aligned}
$


Now $4-\cos x>0$ for all real $x$ because we know that -1 Scos $x \leq 1$ always. Also $(2+\cos x)^2$ being a square of a real number is $>0$.
$\therefore(i) f(x)$ is increasing if $f^{\prime}(x) \geq 0$
i.e., if cos $x \geq 0$ (From (i))
i.e., if $x$ lies in Ist and 4th quadrants.
i.e., $f(x)$ is increasing for $0 \leq x \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$ and $\frac{3 \pi}{2} \leq x \leq 2 \pi$.
(ii) $f(x)$ is decreasing if $f^{\prime}(x) \leq 0$
i.e., if $\cos x \leq 0$ (From (i))
i.e., if $x$ lies in IInd and III quadrants
$\therefore f(x)$ is decreasing for $\frac{\pi}{2} \leq x \leq \frac{3 \pi}{2}$.

Q4. Find the intervals in which the function $f$ given by$ f(x)=x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}, x \neq 0 \text { is } $(i) increasing (ii) decreasing-

Solution: (i) Given: $f(x)=x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}, x \neq 0$

$
\begin{array}{ll}
\Rightarrow & f(x)=x^3+x^{-3} \\
\therefore & f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^2-3 x^{-4}=3\left(x^2-\frac{1}{x^4}\right)
\end{array}
$


Step I. Forming factors $=3\left(\frac{x^6-1}{x^4}\right)=\frac{3}{x^4}\left[\left(x^2\right)^3-1^3\right]$

$
\begin{aligned}
& f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{3}{x^4}\left(x^2-1\right)\left(\left(x^2\right)^2+x^2 \cdot 1+1^2\right) \\
& \quad\left[\because a^3-b^3=(a-b)\left(a^2+a b+b^2\right)\right]
\end{aligned}
$

or

$
f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{3}{x^4}\left(x^4+x^2+1\right)(x+1)(x-1)
$

(Note, For forming factors, we could also use $a^2-b^2=\left(a-b(a+b)\right.$ but $a^3-b^3$ is much better here)
Step II. Let us find critical points by putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$
$
\therefore \quad \text { From }(i), \frac{3\left(x^4+x^2+1\right)(x+1)(x-1)}{x^4}=0
$


Cross-multiplying, $3\left(x^4+x^2+1\right)(x+1)(x-1)=0$
But $3\left(x^4+x^2+1\right)$ is positive for all real $x$
(as both terms of $x$ have even powers and all terms are positive) and hence $\neq 0$.

$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \text { Either } x+1=0 \text { or } x-1=0 \\
& \text { i.e., } x=-1 \text { or } x=1
\end{aligned}
$


These two critical points $x=-1$ and $x=1$ divide the whole real line into three sub-intervals ( $-\infty$, -1$],[-1,1]$ and $[1, \infty)$,

In R.H.S. of (1), $\frac{3\left(x^4+x^2+1\right)}{x^4}$ is positive for all real $x \neq 0$.
Step III.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline Values of $\boldsymbol{x}$ & sign of $f^{\prime}(x)$

\begin{aligned}

$\therefore f(x)$ is ( $i$ ) an increasing function for $x \leq-1$ and for $x \geq 1$ and (ii) decreasing function for $-1 \leq x \leq 1$.

Q5. Find the maximum area of an isosceles triangle inscribed in the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ with its vertex at one end of the major axis.

Solution: Equation of the ellipse is $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$

…(i)
We also know that the extremities of the major axis of the ellipse are $\mathrm{A}(a, 0)$ and $\mathrm{A}^{\prime}(-a, 0)\left(\Rightarrow \mathrm{OA}=a, \mathrm{OA}^{\prime}=a\right)$

Comparing eqn. (i) with

$
\cos ^2 \theta+\sin ^2 \theta=1,
$

we have $\frac{x}{a}=\cos \theta$ and $\frac{y}{b}=\sin \theta$
$\therefore \quad x=a \cos \theta$ and $y=b \sin \theta$
∴ Any point on the ellipse is $\mathrm{P}(a \cos \theta, b \sin \theta)$
Draw PM ⟂ on $x$-axis and produce it to meet the ellipse in the point Q.
$\therefore \mathrm{OM}=a \cos \theta$ and $\mathrm{PM}=b \sin \theta \quad$ (By def. of coordinates of a point)
PM = QM $\quad[\because$ The ellipse ( $i$ ) is symmetrical about major axis (here $x$-axis)]
$\therefore \mathrm{M}$ is the mid-point of PQ .
$\therefore \triangle \mathrm{APQ}$ is isosceles.
Let us call the area $z$ of isosceles triangle $\triangle A P Q$ inscribed in the ellipse with one vertex A coinciding with an extremity of major axis.

$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad z & =\frac{1}{2} \text { Base × Height }=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{PQ} \cdot \mathrm{AM} \\
& =\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \mathrm{PM} \cdot \mathrm{AM}=\mathrm{PM}(\mathrm{OA}-\mathrm{OM})
\end{aligned}
$


Putting values of OA, OM and PM

$
\begin{aligned}
& =b \sin \theta(a-a \cos \theta)=b a \sin \theta(1-\cos \theta) \\
& =a b(\sin \theta-\sin \theta \cos \theta) .
\end{aligned}
$


$
\text { or } z=\frac{a b}{2}(2 \sin \theta-2 \sin \theta \cos \theta)=\frac{a b}{2} \quad(2 \sin \theta-\sin 2 \theta)
$


Differentiating (i) with respect to 0 ,

$
\frac{d z}{d \theta}=\frac{a b}{2}(2 \cos \theta-2 \cos 2 \theta)=a b(\cos \theta-\cos 2 \theta)
$


Again differentiating with respect to $\theta$,

$
\frac{d^2 z}{d \theta^2}=a b(-\sin \theta+2 \sin 2 \theta)
$
Putting $\frac{d z}{d \theta}=0$, we have $a b(\cos \theta-\cos 2 \theta)=0$
But $a b=0 \quad \therefore \cos \theta-\cos 2 \theta=0$
or $\cos \theta=\cos 2 \theta=\cos \left(360^{\circ}-20\right)$
∴ Either $\theta=20$ or $\theta=360^{\circ}-20$
i.e., $0=0$ or $30=360^{\circ} \quad \therefore 0=120^{\circ}$
$\theta=0$ is impossible because otherwise the point $\mathrm{P}(a \cos \theta, b \sin \theta)$
$=(a \cos 0, b \sin 0)=(a, 0)$ will coincide with the point A .
$\therefore \quad 0=120^{\circ}$
At $0=120^{\circ}, \frac{d^2 z}{d \theta^2}=a b\left(-\sin 120^{\circ}+2 \sin 240^{\circ}\right)$

$
=a b\left[-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{2}\right]=a b\left(-\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=\text { Negative }
$

$\therefore z$ is maximum at $\theta=120^{\circ}$
Putting $\theta=120^{\circ}$ in (i),

$
\begin{aligned}
\text { Maximum Area } & =\frac{a b}{2}\left[2 \sin 120^{\circ}-\sin 240^{\circ}\right] \\
& =\frac{a b}{2}\left[\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right]=\frac{a b}{2}\left(\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{4} a b .
\end{aligned}

Q6. A tank with reetangular base and rectangular sides, open at the top is to be constructed so that its depth is 2 m and volume is $8 \mathrm{~m}^3$. If building of tank costs $₹ 70$ per sq. metre for the base and ₹ 45 per square metre for sides. What is the cost of least expensive tank?

Solution: Given: A tank with rectangular base and rectangular sides, open at the top.
(The reader is suggested to visualize this tank as a room with four rectangular walls, floor but no ceiling).
Given: Depth of tank $=2 \mathrm{~m}$
Let $x \mathrm{~m}$ be the length and $y \mathrm{~m}$ be the breadth of the base of tank.
Volume of tank $(=I b h)=x y .2=8 \mathrm{~m}^3$ (given)

$
\therefore \quad y=\frac{8}{2 x}=\frac{4}{x}
$


Now cost of building the base of the tank at the given rate of ₹ 70 per square metre is ₹ $70 x y$

Again cost of building the four sides (walls) of the tank at the rate of ₹ 45 per square metre.

$
\begin{aligned}
& =45(x .2+x .2+y .2+y .2)=45(4 x+4 y) \\
& =₹(180 x+180 y)
\end{aligned}
$


Let $z$ denote the total cost of building the tank.
Adding (ii) and (iii), $z=70 x y+180 x+180 y$
$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { Putting } y=\frac{4}{x} \text { from }(i), z=70 x \cdot \frac{4}{x}+180 x+180 \cdot \frac{4}{x} \\
& \text { or } \quad z=280+180 x+\frac{720}{x} \\
& \begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d x}= 0+180-\frac{720}{x^2} \text { and } \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=\frac{1440}{x^3} \\
& {\left[\because \frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)=\frac{d}{d x} x^{-1}=(-1) x^{-2}=\frac{-1}{x^2}\right. \text { and }} \\
&\left.\frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right)=\frac{d}{d x} x^{-2}=-2 x^{-3}=\frac{-2}{x^3}\right]
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}
$


Putting $\frac{d z}{d x}=0$ to find the critical points, we have

$
\begin{aligned}
& \quad 180-\frac{720}{x^2}=0 \Rightarrow 180=\frac{720}{x^2} \Rightarrow 180 x^2=720 \\
& \Rightarrow x^2=\frac{720}{180}=4 \Rightarrow x=2(\because x \text { being length can’t be negative) } \\
& \text { At } x=2, \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=\frac{1440}{x^4}=\frac{1440}{8}=180(+\mathrm{ve})
\end{aligned}
$

$\therefore z$ is minimum at $x=2$
Substituting $x=2$ in (iv), minimum cost

$
\begin{aligned}
z & =280+180(2)+\frac{720}{2}=280+360+360 \\
& =280+720=₹ 1000
\end{aligned}
$

Q7. The sum of the perimeter of a circle and square is $k$, where $A$ is some constant. Prove that the sum of their areas is least when the side of square is double the radius of the circle.

Solution: Let $x$ be the radius of the circle and $y$ be the side of the square.
Given: Perimeter (circumference) of circle + perimeter of square $=k$

$
\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow & & 2 \pi x+4 y & =k \\
\Rightarrow & & 4 y & =k-2 \pi x \\
\Rightarrow & & y & =\frac{k-2 \pi x}{4}
\end{aligned}
$


Let $z$ denote the sum of areas of circle and square.

$
\therefore \quad z=\pi x^2+y^2 \quad \text { [Area of square }=(\text { side })^2 \text { ] }
$


Putting the value of $y$ from (i),

$
\begin{aligned}
z & =\pi x^2+\frac{(k-2 \pi x)^2}{16}=\frac{16 \pi x^2+k^2+4 \pi^2 x^2-4 k \pi x}{16} \\
\text { or } \quad z & =\frac{1}{16}\left[\left(16 \pi+4 \pi^2 x^2-4 k \pi x+k^2\right]\right. \\
\therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d x} & =\frac{1}{16}\left[\left(16 \pi+4 \pi^2\right) 2 x-4 k \pi\right] \text { and } \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=\frac{1}{16}\left(16 \pi+4 \pi^2\right) 2
\end{aligned}
$
Putting $\frac{d z}{d x}=0$ to find the critical points, we have

$
\begin{aligned}
& \quad \begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{16}\left[\left(16 \pi+4 \pi^2\right) 2 x-4 k \pi\right] & =0 \\
\Rightarrow & \begin{aligned}
\left(16 \pi+4 \pi^2\right) 2 x-4 k \pi & =0 \times 16=0 \\
4 \pi / 4+\pi) 2 x & =4 k \pi
\end{aligned} \\
\Rightarrow & \begin{aligned}
x= & \frac{4 k \pi}{4 \pi(4+\pi) 2}=\frac{k}{2(4+\pi)}
\end{aligned} \\
\Rightarrow & \text { At } x=\frac{k}{2(4+\pi)}, \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=\frac{1}{16}\left(16 \pi+4 \pi^2 g \text { is }+\mathrm{ve} .\right.
\end{aligned} \\
& \therefore \quad z \text { is minimum when } x=\frac{k}{2(4+\pi)}
\end{aligned}
$


Putting this value of $x$ in (i),

$
\begin{aligned}
y & =\frac{1}{4}\left[k-2 \pi \frac{k}{2(4+\pi)}\right]=\frac{1}{4}\left[k-\frac{\pi k}{4+\pi}\right] \\
& =\frac{1}{4}\left[\frac{k(4+\pi)-\pi k}{4+\pi}\right]=\frac{4 k+\pi k-\pi k}{4(4+\pi)}
\end{aligned}
$

or

$
y=\frac{4 k}{4(4+\pi)}=\frac{k}{4+\pi}=2 \frac{k}{2(4+\pi)}
$

$\Rightarrow y=2 x$
(By (ii))
$\therefore z$ (sum of areas) is minimum (least) when side $(y)$ of the square is double the radius $(x)$ of the circle.

Q8. A window is in the form of a rectangle surmounted by a semicircular opening. The total perimeter of the window is 10 m . Find the dimensions of the window to admit maximum light through the whole opening.

Solution: Let $x$ metres be the radius of the semi-circular opening of the window. Therefore one side of rectangle part of window is $2 x$. Let $y$ metres be the other side of the rectangle.

$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \text { Perimeter of window }=\text { Semi-cire } \\
& \text { are } \mathrm{AB}+\text { Length }(\mathrm{AD}+\mathrm{DC}+\mathrm{BC}) \\
& =10 \mathrm{~m} \text { (given) } \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{2}(2 \pi x)+y+2 x+y=10 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \begin{array}{l}
\pi x+2 x+2 y=10 \\
\Rightarrow \quad 2 y=10-\pi x-2 x
\end{array} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad y=\frac{10-(\pi+2) x}{2}
\end{aligned}
$

(It may be noted that length (side) AB can’t be a part of the window because if it so, then light after passing through the semi-circle will not enter the rectangle part)
Let $z$ sq. $m$ be the area of the window.
For maximum light to be admitted through the window, area $z$ of window should be maximum.

$
\begin{aligned}
z=\text { Area of window } & =\text { Area of semi-circle + Area of rectangle } \\
& =\frac{1}{2}\left(\pi x^2\right)+(2 x) y
\end{aligned}
$


Putting the value of $y$ from (i),
or

$
\begin{aligned}
& z=\frac{1}{2} \pi x^2+2 x\left[\frac{10-(\pi+2) x}{2}\right]=\frac{1}{2}\left[\pi x^2+20 x-2\left(\pi+2 x^2\right]\right. \\
& z=\frac{1}{2}\left[\pi x^2+20 x-2 \pi x^2-4 x^2\right]=\frac{1}{2}\left[-\pi x^2-4 x^2+20 x\right]
\end{aligned}
$


Now $z$ is a function of $x$ alone.

$
\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore & \frac{d z}{d x}=\frac{1}{2}[-2 \pi x-8 x+20] \\
\text { and } & \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=\frac{1}{2}(-2 \pi-8)=\frac{-2}{2}(\pi+4)=-(\pi+4)
\end{array}
$


Putting $\quad \frac{d z}{d x}=0$ to find the critical points, we have

$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{-2 \pi x-8 x+20}{2}=0 \Rightarrow-2 \pi x-8 x+20=0 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad-2 x(\pi+4)=-20 \Rightarrow x=\frac{20}{2(\pi+4)}=\frac{10}{\pi+4}
\end{aligned}
$


At $x=\frac{10}{\pi+4}, \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=-(\pi+4)$ is negative.
$\therefore z$ is maximum at $x=\frac{10}{\pi+4}$.
Substituting $x=\frac{10}{\pi+4}$ in $(i), y=\frac{10-(\pi+2) \frac{10}{\pi+4}}{2}$

$
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{10(\pi+4)-10(\pi+2)}{2(\pi+4)}=\frac{10 \pi+40-10 \pi-20}{2 \pi+4)} \\
& =\frac{20}{2(\pi+4)}=\frac{10}{\pi+4} \mathrm{~m}
\end{aligned}
$

∴ For maximum light to be admitted through window, dimensions of the window are:
Length of rectangle $=2 x=\frac{20}{\pi+4} \mathrm{~m}$
Width of rectangle $=y=\frac{10}{\pi+4} \mathrm{~m}$
Radius of semi-circle $=x=\frac{10}{\pi+4} \mathrm{~m}$.

Q9. A point on the hypotenuse of a triangle is at distance $a$ and $b$ from the sides of the triangle. Show that the minimum length of the hypotenuse is $\left(a^{2 / 3}+b^{2 / 3}\right)^{2 / 2}$.

Solution: Let P be a point on the hypotenuse AC of a right triangle ABC such that $\mathrm{PL}(\perp \mathrm{AB})=a$ and $\mathrm{PM}(\perp \mathrm{BC})=b$.
Let $\angle \mathrm{BAC}=\angle \mathrm{MPC}=0$,
then in right-angled $\triangle \mathrm{ALP}, \frac{\mathrm{AP}}{\mathrm{PL}}=$ oosec $\theta$
$\therefore \mathrm{AP}=\mathrm{PL}$ cosee $\theta=\alpha$ cosec $\theta$
and in right-angled $\triangle P M C, \frac{P C}{P M}=\sec \theta$
$\therefore \quad \mathrm{PC}=\mathrm{PM} \sec \theta=b \sec 0$.
Let $\mathrm{AC}=z$, then

$
z=A P+P C=a \operatorname{cosec} \theta+b \sec \theta, 0<\theta<\frac{\pi}{2}
$

( $\because 6$ is an angle of right-angled triangle)
$\therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d \theta}=-a \operatorname{cosec} \theta \cot \theta+b \sec \theta \tan \theta$
For maxima or minima, put $\frac{d z}{d \theta}=0$
$\Rightarrow-a \operatorname{cosec} \theta \cot \theta+b \sec \theta \tan \theta=0$

$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \frac{b \sin \theta}{\cos ^2 \theta}=\frac{a \cos \theta}{\sin ^2 \theta} \\
& \Rightarrow b \sin ^2 \theta=a \cos ^2 \theta \quad \Rightarrow \frac{\sin ^3 \theta}{\cos ^2 \theta}=\frac{a}{b} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \tan ^2 \theta=\frac{a}{b} \quad \therefore \tan \theta=\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^{1 / a}
\end{aligned}
$


$
\begin{array}{r}
\text { Now, } \quad \begin{array}{r}
\frac{d^2 z}{d \theta^2}=-a \quad\left[\operatorname{cosec} \theta\left(-\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta\right)+\cot \theta(-\operatorname{cosec} \theta \cot \theta)\right. \\
+b\left[\sec \theta \sec ^2 \theta+\tan \theta \sec \theta \tan \theta\right]
\end{array} \\
=a\left(\operatorname{cosec}^3 \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta \cot ^2 \theta\right)+b\left(\sec ^3 \theta+\sec \theta \tan ^2 \theta\right)
\end{array}
$


Since $a>0, b>0$ and all $t$-ratios of $\theta$ are positive $(\because 0<\theta<\pi / 2)$

$
\therefore \quad \frac{d^2 z}{d \theta^2}>0
$

$\Rightarrow z$ is least when $\tan \theta=\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^{1 / 3}$

$
\Rightarrow \quad \sec ^2 \theta=1+\tan ^2 \theta=1+\left(\frac{\boldsymbol{a}}{b}\right)^{2 / 3}=\frac{b^{2 / 3}+a^{2 / 3}}{b^{2 / 3}}
$
$
\Rightarrow \quad \sec \theta=\frac{\left(a^{2 / 3}+b^{2 / 2}\right)^{1 / 2}}{b^{1 / 3}}
$


Also $\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta=1+\cot ^2 \theta=1+\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)^{2 / 3} \quad[$ By (ii) $]=\frac{a^{2 / 3}+b^{2 / 3}}{a^{2 / 3}}$

$
\Rightarrow \quad \operatorname{cosec} \theta=\frac{\left(a^{2 / 3}+b^{2 / 3}\right)^{1 / 2}}{a^{1 / 3}}
$


Putting these values of $\sec \theta$ and cosec $\theta$ in (i),
∴ Minimum length of hypotenuse z

$
\begin{aligned}
& =a \text { cosec } \theta+b \sec \theta \\
& =a \cdot \frac{\left(a^{2 / 3}+b^{2 / 3}\right)^{1 / 2}}{a^{1 / 3}}+b \cdot \frac{\left(a^{2 / 3}+b^{2 / 3}\right)^{1 / 2}}{b^{1 / 3}} \\
& =\left(a^{23}+b^{23}\right)^{1 / 2}\left(a^{27}+b^{23}\right)=\left(a^{273}+b^{20}\right)^{12}
\end{aligned}
$


Note. Since $\theta$ is a positive acute angle, we may draw a right triangle OMP as shown in the figure, then

$
\begin{aligned}
& \sec \theta=\frac{\mathrm{OP}}{\mathrm{OM}}=\frac{\sqrt{a^{2 / 3}+b^{2 / 3}}}{b^{1 / 3}} \\
& \operatorname{cosec} \theta=\frac{\mathrm{OP}}{\mathrm{PM}}=\frac{\sqrt{a^{2 / 1}+b^{2 / 1}}}{a^{1 / 2}} .
\end{aligned}
$

Q10. Find the points at which the function $f$ given by$ f\left(x=(x-2)^4(x+1)^3\right. \text { has } $(i) local maxima (ii) local minima (iii) point of inflexion.

Solution: Given: $f(x)=(x-2)^4(x+1)^3$

$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x) & =(x-2)^4 \frac{d}{d x}(x+1)^3+\frac{d}{d x}(x-2)^4 \cdot(x+1)^2 \\
& =(x-2)^4 3(x+1)^2+4(x-2)^3(x+1)^2
\end{aligned}
$


Forming factors $=(x-2)^3(x+1)^2[3(x-2)+4(x+1)]$

$
\begin{array}{r}
\Rightarrow \quad f^{\prime}(x)=(x-2)^3(x+1)^2(7 x-2) \\
{[\because 3 x-6+4 x+4=7 x-2]}
\end{array}
$


Putting $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points, we have

$
\begin{aligned}
& (x-2)^3(x+1)^2(7 x-2)=0 \\
& \therefore \quad \text { Either } x-2=0 \text { or } x+1=0 \text { or } 7 x-2=0 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad x=2, \text { or } x=-1, \text { or } x=\frac{2}{7}
\end{aligned}
$


Let us apply First derivative Test
(as we and you think that finding $f^{\prime \prime}(x)$ is tedious)
Clearly the factor $(x+1)^2$ in the value of $f^{\prime}(x)$ being square of a real number is never negative.
At $x=2$
When $x$ is slightly $<2$, (say $x=1.9$ ); from (ii)

$
f^{\prime}(x)=(-)^2(+)(+)=(-)(+)(+)=(-)
$


When $x$ is slightly $>2$, (say $x=2.1$ ), from (ii)

$
f^{\prime}(x)=(+)^3(+)(+)=(+)
$

$\therefore f^{\prime}(x)$ changes sign from $(-)$ to $(+)$ as $x$ increases through 2.
$\therefore x=2$ gives a point of local minima.
At $x=-1$
When $x$ is slightly $<-1$, (say $x=-1-0.1=-1.1$ ), from (ii)

$
f^{\prime}(x)=(-)^2(+)(-)=(-)(+)(-)=(+)
$


When $x$ is slightly $>-1 \quad($ say $x=-1+0.1=-0.9)$,
from (ii) $f^{\prime}(x)=(-)^3(+)(-)=(+)$
$\therefore f^{\prime}(x)$ does not change sign as $x$ increases through -1 .
$\therefore x=-1$ gives a point of inflexion.
At $x=\frac{2}{7}$
When $x$ is slightly $<\frac{2}{7}$, (say $x=\frac{1}{7}$ ) from (ii)

$
f^{\prime}\left(x=(-)^3(+)(-)=(-)(+)(-)=(+)\right.
$


When $x$ is slightly $>\frac{2}{7}$, (say $x=\frac{3}{7}$ ) from (ii)

$
f^{\prime}(x)=(-)^3(+)(+)=(-)
$

$\therefore f^{\prime}(x)$ changes sign from $(+)$ to $(-)$ as $x$ increases through $\frac{2}{7}$.
$\therefore \quad x=\frac{2}{7}$ gives a point of local maxima.

Q11. Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the function $f$ given by$ f(x)=\cos ^2 x+\sin x, x \in[0, \pi] $

Solution: Given: $f(x)=\cos ^2 x+\sin x, x \in[0, \pi]$

$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x) & =2 \cos x \frac{d}{d x}(\cos x)+\cos x \\
& =-2 \cos x \sin x+\cos x \\
& =\cos x(-2 \sin x+1)
\end{aligned}
$


Let us put $f^{\prime}(x)=0$ to locate the critical points.
$\therefore \cos x(-2 \sin x+1)=0$
∴ Either cos $x=0$ or $-2 \sin x+1=0$
i.e., $x=\frac{\pi}{2}$ or $-2 \sin x=-1$ i.e., $\sin x=\frac{1}{2}$.
Now $\sin x=\frac{1}{2}$ is positive and hence $x$ lies in Ist quadrant and second quadrant.
$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad & \sin x \\
\therefore \quad & \frac{1}{2}=\sin \frac{\pi}{6} \text { and } \sin \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\sin \frac{5 \pi}{6} . \\
\therefore \quad x & =\frac{\pi}{6} \text { and } x=\frac{5 \pi}{6}
\end{aligned}
$

∴ Critical points are $x=\frac{\pi}{2}, x=\frac{\pi}{6}$ and $x=\frac{5 \pi}{6} \in[0, \pi]$
Let us find values of $f(x)$ at these critical points.

$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \text { From }(i), f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=\cos ^2 \frac{\pi}{2}+\sin \frac{\pi}{2}=0+1=1 \\
& f\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\cos ^2 \frac{\pi}{6}+\sin \frac{\pi}{6}=\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{4} \\
& f\left(\frac{5 \pi}{6}\right)=\cos ^2 \frac{5 \pi}{6}+\sin \frac{\pi}{6}=\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{4} \\
& {\left[\because \cos \frac{5 \pi}{6}=\cos \frac{6 \pi-\pi}{6}=\cos \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=-\cos \frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right]}
\end{aligned}
$


Now let us find values of $f(x)$ at the end points $x=0$ and $x=\pi$ of closed interval $[0, \pi]$
From (i), $f(0)=\cos ^2 0+\sin 0=1+0=1$
and $\quad f(\pi)=\cos ^2 \pi+\sin \pi=(-1)^2+0=1$

$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { I: } \quad \cos \pi=\cos 180^{\circ}=\cos \left(180^{\circ}-0\right)=-\cos 0=-1 \\
& \text { and } \left.\sin \pi=\sin 180^{\circ}=\sin \left(180^{\circ}-0\right)=\sin 0=0\right]
\end{aligned}
$


Therefore absolute maximum is $\frac{5}{4}$ and absolute minimum is 1 .

Q12. Show that the altitude of the right circular cone of maximum volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius $r$ is $\frac{4 r}{3}$.

Solution: Let $x$ be the radius of base of cone and $y$ be the height of the cone inscribed in a sphere of radius $r$.

$
\therefore \quad \mathrm{OD}=\mathrm{AD}-\mathrm{AO}=y-r
$


In right-angled $\triangle \mathrm{OBD}$,

$
\mathrm{OD}^2+\mathrm{BD}^2=\mathrm{OB}^2
$

(By Pythagoras Theorem)

$
(y-r)^2+x^2=r^2
$

or

$
\begin{aligned}
y^2+r^2-2 r y+x^2 & =r^2 \\
x^2 & =2 r y-y^2
\end{aligned}
$

or
Let V denote the volume of the cone.

$
\therefore \quad \mathrm{v}=\frac{1}{3} \pi x^2 y=\frac{1}{3} \pi\left(2 r y-y^2\right) y
$
or

$
V=\frac{\pi}{3}\left(2 r y^2-y^3\right)
$


Diff. with respect to $y, \frac{d V}{d y}=\frac{\pi}{3}\left(4 r y-3 y^2\right)$
and $\quad \frac{d^2 V}{d y^2}=\frac{\pi}{3}(4 r-6 y)$
Put $\quad \frac{d V}{d y}=0 \quad \therefore \frac{\pi}{3}\left(4 \rho y-3 y^2\right)=0$
or $\frac{\pi y}{3}(4 r-3 y)=0$
But $\frac{\pi y}{3} \neq 0 \quad \therefore 4 r-3 y=0$ or $y=\frac{4 r}{3}$
At $\quad y=\frac{4 r}{3}, \quad \frac{d^2 V}{d y^2}=\frac{\pi}{3}(4 r-8 r)=-\frac{4 \pi r}{3}<0$
$\therefore \quad V$ is maximum at $y=\frac{4 r}{3}$.

Q13. Let $f$ be a function defined on $[a, b]$ such that $f^{\prime}(x)>0$, for all $x \in(a, b)$. Then prove that $f$ is an increasing function on ( $\boldsymbol{a}, \boldsymbol{b}$ ).

Solution: Let I denote the interval ( $a, b$ ).
Given: $f^{\prime}(x)>0$ for all $x$ in an interval $L$
Let $x_1, x_2 \in I$ with $x_1Since derivability implies continuity, therefore $f(x)$ is continuous in the closed interval $\left[x_1, x_2\right]$ and derivable in the open interval $\left(x_1, x_2\right)$.
∴ By Lagrange’s Mean Value Theorem, we have

$
\begin{aligned}
& \quad \frac{f\left(x_2\right)-f\left(x_1\right)}{x_2-x_1}=f^{\prime}(c), \text { where } x_1& \quad f^{\prime}\left(x_2\right)-f\left(x_1\right)=\left(x_2-x_1\right) f^{\prime}(c) \text { where } x_1& \text { Now } \quad x_1& \text { Also } \quad f^{\prime}(x)>0 \text { for all } x \text { in } \mathbf{I}(\text { given }) \quad \Rightarrow x_2-x_1>0 \\
& \therefore \quad \text { From }(i), \quad f\left(x_2\right)-f\left(x_1\right)>0 \quad \text { or }\left(f\left(x_1\right)\end{aligned}
$


Thus, for every pair of points $x_1, x_2 \in \mathbf{I}, x_1
$
\Rightarrow \quad f\left(x_1\right)$


Hence, $f(x)$ is strictly increasing in $\mathbf{I}$.
Remark. Geometrically. Let the graph of a strictly increasing function $y=f(x)$ be represented by curve AB. The tangent at any point $P$ on the curve makes an acute angle $\psi$ with the $x$-axis, $\left(\right.$ where $\left.0<\psi<\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$.
$0<\psi<\frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow \tan \psi>0$ i.e., slope of the tangent is $>0$
$\Rightarrow f^{\prime \prime}(x)>0$.
Remark. Graph of a strictly increasing function is a rising graph i.e., graph moves up as $x$ moves to the right.

Q14. Show that the height of the cylinder of maximum volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius $\mathbf{R}$ is $\frac{\mathbf{2 R}}{\sqrt{3}}$. Also find the maximum volume.

Solution: Let $x$ be the base radius and $y$ be the height of the cylinder inscribed in a sphere having centre $O$ and radius $R$. ( $x>0, y>0$ )
In right-angled $\triangle O A M$, By Pythagoras Theorem, $\mathrm{AM}^2+ O M^2=O A^2$
i.e. $x^2+\left(\frac{y}{2}\right)^2=\mathrm{R}^2$
$\therefore \quad x^2=\mathrm{R}^2-\frac{y^2}{4}$

Let V denote the volume of right circular cylinder,

$
\therefore \quad \mathbf{V}=\pi x^2 y
$


Putting the value of $x^2$ from (i) in (ii),

$
\begin{aligned}
& V & =\pi\left(R^2-\frac{y^2}{4}\right) y=\pi\left(R^2 y-\frac{1}{4} y^3\right) \\
\therefore & \frac{d V}{d y} & =\pi\left(R^2-\frac{3}{4} y^2\right), \\
\text { and } & \frac{d^2 V}{d y^2} & =\pi\left(-\frac{3}{2} y\right)=-\frac{3 \pi y}{2} \\
\text { Put } & \frac{d V}{d y} & =0 \quad \therefore \pi\left(R^2-\frac{3}{4} y^2\right)=0
\end{aligned}
$


But $\quad \pi \neq 0 \quad \therefore R^2-\frac{3}{4} y^2=0$ or $R^2=\frac{3}{4} y^2$
or

$
y^2=\frac{4 R^2}{3} \quad \therefore y=\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}
$


At

$
\begin{aligned}
y & =\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}, \frac{d^2 V}{d y^2}=-\frac{3 \pi}{2} y \\
& =-\frac{3 \pi}{2}\left(\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}\right)=-\pi R \sqrt{3}
\end{aligned}
$

this is negative.
$\therefore V$ is maximum at

$
y=\frac{2 r}{\sqrt{3}}
$


Substituting $y=\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}$ in eqn. (iii),

$
\begin{aligned}
\text { Maximum volume of cylinder } & =\pi\left[R^2 \cdot \frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}-\frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{4 R^2}{3} \cdot \frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}\right] \\
& =\pi R^2 \frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}\left(1-\frac{1}{3}\right)=\frac{2 \pi R^3}{\sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{2}{3}=\frac{4 \pi R^3}{3 \sqrt{3}}
\end{aligned}
$

Q15. Show that the height of the cylinder of greatest volume which can be inseribed in a right circular cone of height $h$ and having semi-vertical angle $\alpha$ is one-third that of the cone and the greatest volume of cylinder is $\frac{4}{27} \pi h^3 \tan ^2 \alpha$.

Solution: Let $r$ be the radius of the given right circular cone of given height $h$.
Let the radius of the inscribed cylinder be $x$ and its height be $y$. In similar triangles APQ and ARC, we have

$
\frac{\mathrm{PQ}}{\mathrm{RC}}=\frac{\mathrm{AP}}{\mathrm{AR}}
$

i.e.,

$
\frac{x}{r}=\frac{h-y}{h}
$


$
\mathbf{I} \because \mathbf{A P}=\mathbf{A R}-\mathbf{P R}=h-y]
$


Cross-multiplying, $h x=r h-r y$

$
\begin{array}{rlrl}
\therefore & & r y & =r h-h x=h(r-x) \\
\therefore & & y=\frac{h}{r}(r-x)
\end{array}
$

…(i) (given condition)
Let us call the volume $z$ of the cylinder
∴ $\quad z=\pi x^2 y$
. (ii) [Here $z$ is to be maximised]
Putting the value $y$ from (i) in (ii),

$
\begin{array}{rlr}
z & =\pi x^2 \frac{h}{r}(r-x) & =\frac{\pi h}{r}\left(x^2-x^3\right) \\
\therefore \quad \frac{d z}{d x} & =\frac{\pi h}{r}\left(2 r x-3 x^2\right), \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2} & =\frac{\pi h}{r}(2 r-6 x)
\end{array}
$
To find maxima or minima put $\frac{d z}{d x}=0$

$
\therefore \quad \frac{\pi h}{r}\left(2 r x-3 x^2\right)=0 \quad \text { or } \quad \frac{\pi h}{r} x(2 r-3 x)=0
$


But $x \neq 0, \therefore 2 r-3 x=0$ or $3 x=2 r$ or $x=\frac{2 r}{3}$
At $x=\frac{2 r}{3}, \frac{d^2 z}{d x^2}=\frac{\pi h}{r}\left(2 r-\frac{12 r}{3}\right)=\frac{\pi h}{r}(-2 r)=-2 \pi / h$ this is negative.
$\therefore z$ is maximum at $x=\frac{2 r}{3}$.
Substituting $x=\frac{2 r}{3}$ in $(i), y=\frac{h}{r}\left(r-\frac{2 r}{3}\right)=\frac{h}{r} \cdot \frac{r}{3}=\frac{h}{3}$
Substituting $x=\frac{2 r}{3}$ in eqn. (iii),
Maximum volume of cylinder $=\frac{\pi h}{r}\left[r \cdot \frac{4 r^2}{9}-\frac{8 r^2}{27}\right]$

$
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{\pi h}{r} r^3\left(\frac{4}{9}-\frac{8}{27}\right)=\pi h r^2\left(\frac{12-8}{27}\right) \\
& =\frac{4}{27} \pi h r^2=\frac{4}{27} \pi h\left(h \tan \omega^2\right. \\
& {\left[\because \operatorname{In} \Delta A R C, \frac{R C}{A R}=\tan \alpha \text { i.e., } \frac{r}{h}=\tan \alpha . \therefore r=h \tan \alpha\right]} \\
& =\frac{4}{27} \pi h^3 \tan ^2 \alpha .
\end{aligned}

Q16. A cylindrical tank of radius 10 m is being filled with wheat at the rate of 314 cubic metre per hour. Then the depth of the wheat is increasing at the rate of
(A) $1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{h}$
(B) $0.1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{h}$
(C) $1.1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{h}$
(D) $0.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{h}$.

Solution: Let $y \mathrm{~m}$ be the depth of the wheat in the cylindrical tank of radius 10 m at time $t$.
$\therefore \mathrm{V}=$ Volume of wheat in
cylindrical tank at time $t$

$
\begin{aligned}
& =\pi(10)^2 y \\
& =100 \pi y \mathrm{cu} . \mathrm{m}
\end{aligned}
$
Given: rate of increase (:- wheat in being filled in the tank) of volume of wheat $=\frac{d \mathrm{~V}}{d t}=314 \mathrm{cu} . \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{hr}$.

$
\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{d}{d t}(100 \pi y)(\mathrm{By}(i))=314 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad 100 \pi \frac{d y}{d t}=314 \\
& \text { Using } \pi=\frac{22}{7}=3.14 \text { nearly, } \\
& \Rightarrow \quad 100(3.14) \frac{d y}{d t}=314 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 314 y=314 \\
& \Rightarrow \quad y=\frac{314}{314}=1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{h}
\end{aligned}
$

Hence, option (A) is correct.
