Section – A

1. (a) A function 𝑓(𝑥) is defined as follows: (15)

1 for 𝑥 < 0
𝑓(𝑥) = { 1 + 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥 for 0 ≤ x < 𝜋⁄2
2 + (𝑥 − 𝜋⁄2)2 for 𝜋⁄2≤ x
Discuss about the existence of 𝑓 ′ (𝑥) at 𝑥 = 𝜋⁄2.

2. (a) State Leibnitz’s theorem. If 𝑦 = sin−1 𝑥, then find 𝑦𝑛 by using Leibnitz’s theorem. Also (16)
find the value of (𝑦𝑛 )0 when "𝑛" is odd number.

(b) Define homogeneous function with an example. If 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑦 − 𝑧, 𝑧 − 𝑥, 𝑥 − 𝑦), then (14)
