Let abc be the last three digits of your Roll number. Recalculate a, b, c according to the folllowing
instructions.

1. If c = 0, take c = c + 1

2. If b = 0, c < 9, take b = c + 1

3. If b = 0, c = 9, take b = c.

4. if a = 0, b < 9, take a = b + 1.

5. if a = 0, b = 9, take a = b.

Let d = max(a, b, c) and J be the 3 digit number abc. Let ab be the 2 digit number, a followed by b.

1. (1 mark) Find f ◦ h ◦ g ◦ f of

b
f (x) = sin(xa ), g(x) = , h(x) = d − cx.
|x|J

2. True/False/Short Answer.(1 marks each)

1. Every differentiable function on [−a, J] has a finite limit at a.

f (x)
2. If f (x) = xa , f 0 (x) = a .
x
f (x)
3. The derivative of the function = f 0 (x)/g(x) − g 0 (x)f (x)/(g(x))2 .
g(x)
4. A function where LHL= RHL=f (a), will always have a tangent at x = a.

3. (1 mark) By first principles, write the definition of the derivative of f (x) = a sin(bx).

4. (2 marks each) Let the demand after x years is cxa + dxJ +J + + J units. Calculate
|x|
1. Average rate of change of demand between the end of a and J years.
2. Instantaneous rate of change of change of demand after J years.
3. Is the demand increasing or decreasing at the end of J years and at what rate?
