1 If y = e–3 log x, then find

ANS:

If y = tan–1 , find .

ANS:

3 Find at (4, 9) if = 5.
 ANS:

4 If y = ex + e–x, prove that y″ = y.

ANS: y = ex + e–x
y′ = ex + e–x(–1) = ex – e–x
y″ = ex – e–x(–1) = ex + e–x = y

If y = , then find .

Differentiate tan–1 ,– <x< and tan x > –1. w.r.t. x

ANS: Let y = tan–1 Dividing numerator and denominator by b cos x,

we get y = tan–1 = tan–1 – tan–1(tan x) = tan–1 –x = –1.

ANS:

1
Differentiate y = ex log (sin 2x) with respect to x.
7

ANS: y = ex log (sin 2x) Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get = ex ⋅ (log sin 2x)

+ log sin 2x ⋅ (ex) = ex ⋅ · cos 2x · 2 + log(sin 2x) · ex = ex[2 cot 2x + log(sin

2x)]

Find , if y = (sin x)tan x + (cos x)sec x.

ANS: y = etan x log(sin x) + esec x log (cos x) Now differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get =

etan x log (sin x) {sec2 x . log (sin x) + tan x . cos x} + esec x log (cos x) {sec x tan x log

(cos x) + sec x . (– sin x)} = (sin x)tan x {sec2 x . log (sin x) + 1} + (cos x)sec x {sec x tan
 x log (cos x) – sec x tan x}.

If x = 2 cos θ – cos 2θ and y = 2 sin θ – sin 2θ, then prove that = tan

ANS: Given x = 2 cos θ – cos 2θ and y = 2 sin θ – sin 2θ = – 2 sin θ + 2 sin

2θ ...(i) and = 2 cos θ – 2 cos 2θ ...(ii) From (i) and (ii), we get

If y = x log , then prove that .

ANS: y = x [log x – log (a + bx)] Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

Again
differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

From (i),

If y = x + tan x, prove that cos2x – 2y + 2x = 0.

ANS: y = x + tan x Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get = 1 + sec2 x Again

differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get = 2 sec2 x tan x cos2 x = 2(y –

x) cos2 x . – 2y + 2x = 0
