Q 2: Is the equality b4 = b2 valid for all values of b ? Justify your answer with appropriate
reasoning.
Solution:
As we know that
(b ) 2 2
= b2 ,
but b 2 is always positive , because if b 0 then b 2 is always positive.
So the given equality always holds.
Q 3: Find the solution for: x 2 − 25 = x − 5 .
Solution:
x 2 − 25 = x − 5
x 2 − 25 = x − 5 or − ( x 2 − 25) = x − 5,
( x − 5)( x + 4) = 0 or ( x + 6)(− x + 5) = 0,
x = 5, − 4 or x = − 6, 5.
For x = − 4 in x 2 − 25 = x − 5,
9 = − 9 which is not possible.
For x = − 6 in x 2 − 25 = x − 5,
11 = −11 which is not possible.
If x = 5, then the given equation is clearly satisfied.
Solution is x = 5.
Q 4: Solve for x: 6 x − 8 − 10 = 8 .
Solution:
6 x − 8 − 10 = 8
6 x − 8 = 8 + 10 = 18
( 6 x − 8) = 18 or − ( 6 x − 8 ) = 18
6 x = 26 or − 6 x = 10

Q 5: Solve for x: x + 4 7 .
Solution:
Since |𝑥 + 4| < 7, so this inequality can also be written as
−7 < 𝑥 + 4 < 7,
−7 − 4 < 𝑥 + 4 − 4 < 7 − 4 (by subtracting 4 from the inequality),
−11 < 𝑥 < 3,
So the solution set is (−11, 3).
Lecture No. 3: Coordinate Planes and Graphs
Q 4: Check whether the graph of the function 9 x 2 + 4 xy = 6 is symmetric about x-axis, y-axis
and origin or not. (Do all necessary steps).
Solution:
Symmetric about x-axis:
If we replace y to − y , it becomes
9 x 2 + 4 x( − y ) = 6
9 x 2 − 4 xy = 6
Clearly, it is not equivalent to original equation, therefore, the graph is not symmetric about x-
axis.
Symmetric about y-axis:
Replacing x by − x , it becomes
9(− x)2 + 4(− x) y = 6
9 x 2 − 4 xy = 6
Clearly, it is not equivalent to original equation, therefore, the graph is not symmetric about y-
axis.
Symmetric about origin:
Replacing x by − x and y to − y , it becomes
9(− x)2 + 4(− x)(− y) = 6
9 x 2 + 4 xy = 6
Since the substitution made no difference to the equation, therefore, the graph will be symmetric
about origin.

Q 5: Check whether the graph of the function y = 2 is symmetric about y-axis and origin
x +1
or not. (Do all necessary steps).
Solution:
Symmetric about y-axis:
Replacing x by − x , it becomes
(− x) 2 − 4
y=
(− x) 2 + 1
x2 − 4
=
x2 + 1
Since the substitution made no difference to the equation, therefore, the graph will be symmetric
about y-axis.
Symmetric about origin:
Replacing x by − x and y to − y , it becomes
(− x) 2 − 4
−y =
(− x) 2 + 1
x2 − 4
−y =
x2 + 1
Clearly, it is not equivalent to original equation, therefore, the graph is not symmetric about
origin.

Q 2: Find equation of the line passing through the point (1,2) and having slope 3.
Solution:
Point-slope form of the line passing through P ( x1 , y1 ) and having slope m is given by the
equation:
y − y1 = m ( x − x1 )
y -2 = 3 ( x-1)
y − 2 = 3x − 3
y = 3x − 1
Q 3: Find the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the point (5,-3)
and perpendicular to line y = 2 x + 1 .
Solution:
The slope-intercept form of the line with y-intercept b and slope m is given by the equation:
y = mx + b

Lecture No. 5: Distance, Circles, Equations
Q 1: Find the distance between the points (5,6) and (2,4) using the distance formula.
Solution:
The formula to find the distance between any two points ( x1 , y1 ) and ( x2 , y2 ) in the coordinate
plane is given as
d = ( x2 - x 1 )2 + ( y2 - y1 )2
The given points are (5, 6) and (2, 4) , so the distance between these two points will be
d = (2 − 5) 2 + (4 − 6) 2
= (−3) 2 + (−2) 2
= 9+4
= 13
Q. 2: Find radius of the circle if the point (-2,-4) lies on the circle with center (1,3) .
Solution:
It is given that center of the circle is (1,3) . We are also given a point on the circle that is ( −2, −4)
as shown below.
The radius of the circle will be the distance between the points (1,3) and (-2,-4). That is
Radius = d = [1 − (−2)]2 + [3 − (−4) 2
= (3) 2 + (7) 2
= 9 + 49 = 58
Q 3: Find the coordinates of center and radius of the circle described by the following equation.
4𝑥 2 + 4𝑦 2 − 16𝑥 − 24𝑦 + 51 = 0
Solution:
The general form of the equation of circle is given as
4 x 2 + 4 y 2 − 16 x − 24 y + 51 = 0
It can be re-written as
(4 x 2 − 16 x) + (4 y 2 − 24 y) = −51
(2 x)2 − 2(8 x) + (2 y) 2 − 2(12 y) = −51
In order to complete the squares on the left hand side, we have to add 16 and 36 on both sides, it
will then become
(2 x) 2 − 2(8 x) + 16 + (2 y) 2 − 2(12 y) + 36 = −51 + 16 + 36
(2 x) 2 − 2(2 x)(4) + (42 ) + (2 y) 2 − 2(2 y)(6) + (6) 2 = 1
(2 x − 4) 2 + (2 y− 6) 2 = 1

(x − 2) 2 + (y− 3) 2 =

Q 4: Find the coordinates of center and radius of the circle described by the following equation.
2𝑥 2 + 2𝑦 2 + 6𝑥 − 8𝑦 + 12 = 0
Solution:
The general form of the equation of circle is given as
2 x 2 + 2 y 2 + 6 x − 8 y + 12 = 0
It can be re-written as
(2 x 2 + 6 x) + (2 y 2 − 8 y) = −12
( x 2 + 3x) + ( y 2 − 4 y ) = −6
9
In order to complete the squares on the left hand side, we have to add and 4 on both sides, it

Q 6: Find the coordinates of the center and radius of the circle whose equation is
3𝑥 2 + 6𝑥 + 3𝑦2 + 18𝑦 − 6 = 0.
Solution:
3x 2 + 6 x + 3 y 2 + 18 y − 6 = 0,
3( x 2 + 2 x + y 2 + 6 y − 2) = 0, ( taking 3 as common )
x 2 + 2 x + y 2 + 6 y − 2 = 0, ( dividing by 3 on both sides )
x 2 + 2 x + 1 + y 2 + 6 y + 9 = 2 + 9 + 1,
( x + 1) 2 + ( y + 3) 2 = 12,
( x + 1) 2 + ( y + 3) 2 = ( 12) 2 ,
( x − (−1)) 2 + ( y − (−3)) 2 = ( 12) 2 ,
Centre of the circle is (-1,-3) and radius is 12 .
Q 7: Find the coordinates of the center and radius of the circle described by the following
Equation
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 6𝑥 − 8𝑦 = 0 .
Solution:
x 2 − 6 x + y 2 − 8 y = 0, ( rearranging the term)
x 2 − 6 x + y 2 − 8 y + (3) 2 = (3) 2 , ( adding (3) 2 on both sides )
( x 2 − 6 x + 9) + y 2 − 8 y = 9,
( x 2 − 6 x + 9) + y 2 − 8 y + (4) 2 = 9 + (4) 2 , ( adding (4) 2 on both sides )
( x 2 − 6 x + 9) + ( y 2 − 8 y + 16) = 9 + 16,
( x − 3) + ( y − 4 ) = 9 + 16 ,

Q 10: If the point 𝐴(−1, −3)lies on the circle with center B (3,-2), then find the radius of the
circle.
Solution:

Lecture No. 6: Functions
Q 1: Find the natural domain and the range of the given function
h( x) = cos 2 ( x ) .
Solution:
As we know that the x is defined on non-negative real numbers x 0 . This means that the
natural domain of h( x) is the set of positive real numbers.
Therefore, the natural domain of h( x) = 0, + ) .
The function cos 2 x always gives positive real values within the range 0 and 1 both inclusive.
y = 1+ 3 ,
y = 4,
y = 2.
x+2
Q 4: Determine whether y = is a function or not? Justify your answer.
x+3
Solution:
x+2

So this is a function. For example if x=1 then
1+ 2
y= ,
1+ 3

y = 0.75.

f ( x) = ,
x−4
( x + 4) ( x − 4)
f ( x) = ,
( x − 4)
= ( x + 4) ; x4.
This function is defined at all real numbers x , except x = 4 .
(b)
−1
f ( x) =
( x + 5)
This function consists of all real numbers x , except x = − 5 . Since x = − 5 would make the
denominator equal to zero and the division by zero is not allowed in mathematics.
Hence the domain in interval notation is given by ( −, − 5) ( − 5, + ) .

(
x = 3 , so: lim+ f (x) = lim+ x + 7 = 9 + 7 = 16 )
And lim f (x) = lim− ( 3x + 7 ) = 9 + 7 = 16

lim+ f (x) = lim− x − 2
x→4 x→4 2
=0
Since the left hand side limit and the right hand side limits exist and are equal so, the limit of the
given function exist at x =4. Also,
lim f ( x) = f (4)
x →4
x+4 if x 1
g ( x) = 2 if 1 x 4
−5 + x if x 4
Solution:
Given function is
x+4 if x 1
g ( x) = 2 if 1 x 4
−5 + x if x 4
First of all, we will see if the function is defined at x=4. Clearly,
g (4) = −5 + 4
= −1
So the function is defined at x =4.
Now, let’s check the limit of the function at x =4.
lim− g ( x) = lim− (2)
x →4 x →4
=2
lim+ g ( x) = lim+ (−5 + x)
x →4 x →4
= −1
Since the left hand side limit is not equal to the right hand side limit, therefore, the limit of the
given function does not exist at x =4 and so the function is not continuous on the given point.
Solution:
The given function is
f (x) = x + 3

Since the derivative at a point represents the slope of the tangent line at that point. So, we have m

Q 1: If 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 10 then find the intervals where the given function is concave up
and concave down respectively.
Solution:
Given function is f ( x) = x 2 − 6 x + 10
f ( x) = 2 x − 6
f ( x) = 2 0
Since the second derivative is greater than zero for all values of x, so the given function is
concave up on the interval (−, ) and it is concave down nowhere.
Q 2: If 𝑓 (𝑥) = 𝑥 3 + 3𝑥 2 then find the intervals where the given function is concave up and
concave down respectively.
Solution: The given function is f ( x) = x3 + 3x 2
f ( x) = 3x 2 + 6 x
f ( x) = 6 x + 6
For concave up
f ( x ) = 6 x + 6 0
6 x −6
x −1
So, the given function is concave up on (−1, )
For concave down
f ( x ) = 6 x + 6 0
= 6 x −6
= x −1
So, the given function is concave down on (−, −1) .
Q 3: If 𝑓 ′ (𝑥) = 1 + 4𝑥 then find the intervals on which the given function is increasing or
decreasing respectively.
Solution: It is given that f ( x) = 1 + 4 x . The function will be increasing on all the values of x
where first derivative is greater than zero. That is
f ( x) = 1 + 4 x 0
4 x −1
1
x−
4
Thus, the given function is increasing on (− 1 , ) .
4
The function will be decreasing on all the values of x where the first derivative is less than zero.
That is
f ( x) = 1 + 4 x 0
4 x −1
1
x−
4
Thus, the given function is decreasing on (−, − 1 ) .

Q 4: If 𝑓 ′ (𝑥) = 2 𝑡 − 2 then find the intervals on which the given function is increasing or
decreasing respectively.
Solution:
It is given that f (t) = 2t − 2 . The function will be increasing on all the points where the first
derivative is greater than zero. That is
f (t) = 2t − 2 0
2t 2
t 1
Thus, the given function is increasing on (1, )
The given function will be decreasing on all the points where the first derivative is less than zero.
That is
f (t) = 2t − 2 0
2t 2
t 1
Thus, the given function is decreasing on ( −,1) .
Q 5: Discuss the concavity of the function 𝑓(𝑥) = (4 − 𝑥)(𝑥 + 4) on any interval using second
derivative test.
Solution:
The given function is f ( x) = (4 − x)( x + 4)
f ( x) = (4 − x)( x + 4)
= 4 x + 16 − x 2 − 4 x
= 16 − x 2
f ( x) = −2 x
f ( x) = −2 0
Since the second derivative is less than zero for all the values of x therefore, the given function is
concave down on (−, ) and it is not concave up anywhere.

Q 3: If f ( x ) = 2 x 4 − 16 x 2 , determine all relative extrema for the function using First derivative
test.
Solution:
First we will find critical points by putting f / (x) = 0
8 x 3 − 32 x = 0
8 x ( x 2 − 4 ) = 0 x = 0, x = 2
Because f / ( x ) changes from negative to positive around −2 and 2, f has a relative
minimum at x = −2 and x = 2, . Also, f / ( x ) changes from positive to negative
around 0, and hence, f has a relative maximum at x = 0.
Q 4: Find the relative extrema of f (x) = sin x − cos x on [0, 2 ] using 2nd derivative test.
