F’(x) = -6(x + 2)(x + 1)
Hence, f(x) is strictly increasing in the interval (- 2, -1) and f(x) is strictly decreasing in the interval (- ∞, – 2) ∪ (-1, ∞).
Question 10. The length x of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of 5 cm/min and the width y is increasing at the rate of 4 cm/min. When x = 8 cm and y = 6 cm, find the rate of change of (i) the perimeter. (ii) area of rectangle. (All India 2017) Answer: Using the relation, perimeter of rectangle, P = 2(x + y) and area of rectangle, A = xy, differentiate both sides with respect to t and put them in rate of change value and get the result. Given that length x of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of 5 cm/min. ∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = – 5cm/min ………..(i) Also, the breadth y of rectangle is increasing at the rate of 4 cm/min. ∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 4 cm/min ……(ii)
(i) Here, we have to find rate of change of perimeter, i.e. dP/dt and we know that, perimeter P = 2 (x + y)
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. t, we get \(\frac{d P}{d t}\) = 2\(\left(\frac{d x}{d t}+\frac{d y}{d t}\right)\) ⇒ \(\frac{d P}{d t}\) = 2(-5 + 4) = 2(-1) = -2cm/min [from Eqs. (i) and (ii)] Hence, perimeter of rectangle is decreasing at the rate 2 cm/min.
(ii) Here, we have to find rate of change of area \(\frac{d A}{d t}\) We know that, area of rectangle A = xy On differentiating both sides w.r.t. t, we get \(\frac{d A}{d t}=x \cdot \frac{d y}{d t}+y \cdot \frac{d x}{d t}\) [by using product rule of derivative]
Question 11. The side of an equilateral triangle is increasing at the rate of 2 cm/s. At what rate is its area increasing, when the side 22. of the triangle is 20 cm? (Delhi 2015) Answer: Let a be the side of an equilateral triangle and A be the area of an equilateral triangle. Then, \(\frac{d a}{d x}\) = 2 cm/s
We know that, area of an equilateral triangle, A = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\)a 2
Question 12. Find the intervals in which the function f(x) = 3x 4 – 4x 3 – 12x 2 + 5 is (i) strictly increasing. (ii) strictly decreasing. (Delhi 2014) Answer: First, find the first derivative and put equal to zero, we get different values of x and then divide the real line into disjoint intervals. Further check sign of f(x) in a given interval, if f'(x) > 0, then it is strictly increasing and if f'(x) < 0, then it is strictly decreasing. f(x) = 3x 4 – 4x 3 – 12x 2 + 5 On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get f'(x) = 12x 3 -12x 2 – 24x For strictly increasing or strictly decreasing, put f'(x) = 0, we get 12x 3 – 12x 2 – 24x = 0 ⇒ 12x [x 2 – 2x + x – 2] = 0 12x (x + 1) (x – 2) = 0 ∴ x = 0, -1 or 2 Now, we find intervals in which f(x) is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing.
Interval | f’(x) = 12x(x + 1)(x – 2) | Sign of f’(x) |
x < – 1 | (-) (-) (-) | – ve |
– 1 < x < 0 | (-) (+) (-) | + ve |
0 < x < 2 | (+) (+) (-) | – ve |
x > 2 | (+) (+) (+) | + ve |
We know that, a function f(x) is said to be strictly increasing , if f'(x) > 0 and it is said to be strictly decreasing , if f'(x) < 0. So, the given function f(x) is (i) strictly increasing on the intervals (-1, 0) and (2, ∞). (ii) strictly decreasing on the intervals (-∞, -1) and (0, 2).
Question 13. Find the intervals in which the function given by ; f(x) = \(\frac{3}{10}\) x 4 – \(\frac{4}{5}\)x 3 – 3x 2 + \(\frac{36x}{5}\) + 11 is (i) strictly increasing. (ii) strictly decreasing.

Question 14. The sides of an equilateral triangle are increasing at the rate of 2 cm/s. Find the rate at which the area increases, when the side is 10 cm? (All India 2014C) Answer: 10√ 3 cm 2 /s
Question 15. Find the value(s) of x for which y = [x(x – 2)] 2 is an increasing function. (All India 2014; Delhi 2010) Answer: Given function is y = [x(x – 2)] 2 = [x 2 – 2x] 2 . On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 2(x 2 – 2x) – (x 2 – 2x) = 2(x 2 – 2x) (2x – 2) = 4x(x – 2) (x -1)
On putting \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0, we get 4x(x – 2)(x – 1) = 0 ⇒ x = 0, 1 and 2
Now, we find interval in which f(x) is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing.
Interval | \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 4x(x – 2)(x – 1) | Sign of f’(x) |
(-∞, 0) | (-) (-) (-) | – ve |
(0, 1) | (-) (+) (-) | + ve |
(1, 2) | (+) (+) (-) | – ve |
(2, ∞) | (+) (+) (+) | + ve |
Hence, y is strictly increasing in (0, 1) and (2, ∞). Also, y is a polynomial function, so it continuous at x = 0, 1 and 2. Hence, y is increasing in [0, 1] ∪ [2, ∞).
Question 16. Using differentials, find the approximate value of (3.968) 3/2 . (Delhi 2014C) Answer: Let y = f(x) = (x) 3/2 On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get Let x = 4 and x + Δx = 3.968 Then, Δx = -0.032 Now, f(x+ Δx) 3/2 ≈ f(x) + f'(x)Δx (x+ Δx) 3/2 ≈ (x) 3/2 + \(\frac{3}{2}\).(x) 1/2 .(-0.032) ⇒ (4 – 0.032) 3/2 ≈ (4) 3/2 + \(\frac{3}{2}\)(4) 1/2 (-0.032) [put x = 4] ⇒ (3.968) 3/2 ≈ 8 + \(\frac{3}{2}\) .2.(-0.032) ⇒ (39368) 3/2 ≈ 8 – 0.096 ⇒ (3.968) 3/2 ≈ 7.904

Question 18. Find the approximate value of f(3.02), upto 2 places of decimal, where f(x) = 3x 2 + 15x + 3. (Foreign 2014) Answer: First, split 3.02 into two parts x and Ax, so that x + Δx = 3.02 and f(x + Δx) = f(3.02) Now, write f(x + Δx) = f(x) + Δx . f'(x) and use this result to find the required value. Given function is f(x) = 3x 2 + 15x + 3 On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get f'(x) = 6x + 15 Let x = 3 and Δx = 0.02 So that f(x + Δx) – f(302) By using f(x + Δx) ~ f(x)+ Δx f'(x), we get f(x + Δx) = 3x 2 + 15x + 3 + (6x + 15) Δx f(3 + 0.02) = 3(3) 2 + 15(3) + 3+ [6(3) + 15] (0.02) = 27 + 45 + 3 + 33(0.02) = 75 + 0.66 = 75.66 Hence, f (3.02) ≈ 75.66
Hence, the function is (i) increasing in [0, \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)] and [\(\frac{5\pi}{4}\), 2π] (ii) decreasing in \(\left[\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{5 \pi}{4}\right]\)
Question 23. Find the intervals in which the function given by f(x) = x 4 – 8x 3 + 22x 2 – 24x + 21 is (i) increasing, (ii) decreasing. (All Delhi 2012C) Answer: Given function is f(x) = x 4 – 8x 3 + 22x 2 – 24x + 21 On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get f(x) = 4x 3 – 24x 2 + 44x – 24 = 4(x 3 – 6x 2 + 11 x – 6) = 4(x – 1) (x 2 – 5x + 6) = 4(x – 1) (x – 2) (x – 3) Put f'(x) = 0 ⇒ 4(x – 1)(x – 2)(x – 3) = 0 ⇒ x = 1, 2, 3 So, the possible intervals are (-∞, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3) and (3, ∞). For interval (- ∞, 1), f'(x) < 0 For interval (1, 2), f'(x) > 0 For interval (2, 3), f'(x) < 0 For interval (3, ∞), f'(x) > 0.
Also, as f(x) is a polynomial function, so it is continuous at x = 1, 2, 3…………. Hence, (i) function increases in [1, 2] and [3, ∞). (ii) function decreases in (-∞, 1 ] and [2, 3]
Question 24. Sand is pouring from the pipe at the rate of 12 cm3/s. The falling sand forms a cone on a ground in such a way that the height of cone is always one-sixth of radius of the base. How fast is the height of sand 5 cone increasing when the height is 4 cm? (Delhi 2011) Answer: Let V be the volume of cone, h be the height and r be the radius of base of the cone. Given, \(\frac{d V}{d t}\) = 12 cm 3 /s ……(i)
Also, height of cone = \(\frac{1}{6}\) × (radius of base of cone) ∴ h = \(\frac{1}{6}\)r or r = 6h ………..(ii)
We know that, volume of cone is given by V = \(\frac{1}{3}\)πr 2 h …(iii)
Question 25. If the radius of sphere is measured as t 9 cm with an error of 0.03 cm, then find the approximate error in calculating its surface area. (All India 2011) Answer: Let S be the surface area, r be the radius of the sphere. Given, r = 9 cm Then, dr = Approximate error in radius r = 0.03 cm and dS = Approximate error in surface area Now, we know that surface area of sphere is given by S = 4πr 2 On differentiating both sides w.r.t. r, we get \(\frac{d S}{d r}\) = 4π × 2r = 8πr dS = 8πr × dr ⇒ dS = 8π × 9 × 0.03 [∵ r = 9 cm and dr = 0.03 cm ] ⇒ dS = 72 × 0.03π ∴ dS = 2.16π cm 2 /cm Hence, approximate error in surface area is 2.16π cm 2 /cm.
Question 26. Find the intervals in which the function f(x) = sin x + cos x, 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π is strictly l increasing and strictly decreasing. (Foreign 2011) Answer: Strictly increasing in the intervals [0, \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)) and (\(\frac{5 \pi}{4}\), 2] strictly decreasing in the intervals \(\left(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{5 \pi}{4}\right)\)

Question 28. Find the intervals in which the function f(x) = (x – 1 ) 3 (x – 2) 2 is (i) increasing, (ii) decreasing. (All India 2011C) Answer: Given, f(x) = (x – 1 ) 3 (x – 2) 2
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get f'(x) = (x – 1) 3 .\(\frac{d}{d x}\)(x – 2) 2 + (x – 2) 2 .\(\frac{d}{d x}\)(x – 1) 3 ⇒ f'(x) = (x – 1) 3 – 2(x – 2)+ (x – 2) 2 3(x – 1) 2 = (x – 1) 2 (x – 2)[2(x – 1) + 3(x – 2)] = (x – 1) 2 (x – 2) (2x – 2 + 3x – 6) ⇒ f’(x) = (x – 1) 2 (x – 2){3x – 8)
Now, put f'(x) = 0 ⇒ (x – 1) 2 (x – 2) (5x – 8) = 0 Either (x – 1) 2 = 0 or x – 2 = 0 or 5x – 8 = 0 ∴ x = 1, \(\frac{8}{5}\), 2 Now, we find intervals and check in which interval f(x) is strictly increasing and strictly decreasing.
Interval | f’(x) = (x – 1) (x – 2)(5x – 8) | Sign of f’(x) |
x < 1 | (+) (-) (-) | +ve |
1 < x < \(\frac{8}{5}\) | (+) (-) (-) | + ve |
\(\frac{8}{5}\) < x < 2 | (+) (-) (+) | – ve |
x > 2 | (+) (+) (+) | + ve |
We know that, a function f(x) is said to be an strictly increasing function, if f'(x) > 0 and strictly decreasing, if f'(x) < 0. So, the given function f(x) is increasing on the intervals (-∞, 1) (1, \(\frac{8}{5}\)) and (2, ∞) and decreasing on continuous at x = 1, -, 2 Hence, f(x) is (i) increasing on intervals I (ii) decreasing on interval Note: Every strictly increasing (strictly decreasing) function is incresing (decreasing) but converse need not be true.
Question 29. Find the intervals in which the function f(x) = 2x 3 + 9x 2 + 12x + 20 is (i) increasing (ii) decreasing. (Delhi 2011c) Answer: Given function is f(x) = 2x 3 + 9x 2 + 12x + 20 On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get f(x) = 6x 2 + 18x + 12 Put f'(x) = 0, we get 6x 2 + 18x + 12 = 0 ⇒ 6(x 2 + 3x + 2) = 0 ⇒ 6 (x + 1) (x + 2) = 0 ⇒ (x + 1) (x + 2) = 0 ⇒ x + 1= 0 or x + 2 = 0 x = – 2, -1 Now, we find intervals and check in which interval f(x) is strictly increasing and strictly decreasing.
Interval | f’(x) = 6(x + 1)(x + 2) | Sign of f’(x) |
x < -2 | (+) (-) (-) | + ve |
-2 < x < -1 | (+) (-) (+) | – ve |
x > -1 | (+) (+) (+) | + ve |
We know that, a function f(x) is said to be an strictly increasing function, if f'(x) > 0 and strictly decreasing, if f'(x) < 0. So, given function is increasing on intervals (-∞,- 2) and (-1, ∞) and decreasing on interval (-2, -1). Since, f(x) is a polynomial function, so it is continuous at x = -1, – 2. Hence, given function is (i) increasing on intervals (-∞, – 2] and [-1, ∞). (ii) decreasing on interval [-2,-1 ].

Question 31. Find the intervals in which the function f(x) = 2x 3 – 15x 2 + 36x + 17 is increasing or decreasing. (All India 2010c) Answer: The function increasing on (- ∞, 2] and [3, ∞) and decreasing on [2, 3]
Question 32. Find the intervals in which the function f(x) = 2x 3 – 9x 2 + 12x + 15 is (i) increasing. (ii) decreasing. (All India 2010C) Answer: (i) The function increasing on (- ∞,1] and [2, ∞). (ii) The function decreasing on [1, 2]
Question 34. Find the intervals in which the function f(x) = sin 3x – cos 3x, 0 < x < π, is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing. (Delhi 2016) Answer: Given, f(x) = sin 3x – cos 3x, 0 < x < π On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get f'(x) = 3cos 3x + 3sin 3x
While f'(x) < 0 in \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) < x < \(\frac{7\pi}{12}\) and \(\frac{11 \pi}{12}\) < x < π So, f(x) is strictly decreasing in the intervals \(\left(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{7 \pi}{12}\right)\) and (\(\frac{11 \pi}{12}\), π)
Question 35. Prove that the function f defined by f(x) = x 2 – x + 1 is neither increasing nor decreasing in (-1, 1). Hence, find the intervals in which f(x) is (i) strictly increasing. (ii) strictly decreasing. (Delhi 2014C) Answer: Given function is f(x) = x 2 – x + 1. On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get f'(x) = 2x – 1 On putting f'(x) = 0 ⇒ 2x – 1 = 0 ⇒ x = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Now, we find intervals in which f(x) is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing.
Interval | f'(x) = (2x – 1) | Sign of f'(x) |
x < \(\frac{1}{2}\) | (-) | -ve |
x > \(\frac{1}{2}\) | (+) | +ve |
Here, f(x) is strictly increasing on (\(\frac{1}{2}\), ∞) and f(x) is strictly decreasing on (- ∞, \(\frac{1}{2}\)) ⇒ f(x) is strictly increasing on (\(\frac{1}{2}\), 1) and f(x) is strictly decreasing on (-1, \(\frac{1}{2}\)) ∴ f'(x) does not have same sign throughout the interval (-1, 1). Thus, f(x) is neither increasing nor decreasing in (-1, 1).
Question 36. Find the intervals in which the function f(x) = 20 – 9x + 6x 2 – x 3 is (i) strictly increasing. (ii) strictly decreasing. (All India 2010) Answer: Given function is f(x) = 20 – 9x + 6x 2 – x 3 . On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get f'(x) = – 9 + 12x – 3x 2 On putting f'(x) = 0, we get -9 + 12x – 3x 2 = 0 ⇒ -3(x 2 – 4x + 3) = 0 ⇒ -3(x – 1)(x – 3) = 0 ⇒ (x – 1)(x – 3) = 0 ⇒ x – 1 = 0 or x – 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 1 or 3 Now, we find intervals in which f(x) is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing.
Interval | F(x) = – 3 (x -1) (x – 3) | Sign of f'(x) |
x < 1 | (-) (-) (-) | – ve |
1< x < 3 | (-) (+) (-) | + ve |
x > 3 | (-) (+) (+) | – ve |
We know that, a function f(x) is said to be strictly increasing when f'(x) > 0 and it is said to be strictly decreasing, if f'(x) < 0. So, the given function f(x) is (i) strictly increasing on the interval (1, 3) and (ii) strictly decreasing on the intervals (-∞, 1) and (3, ∞).
Tangents and Normals
Since, point (x 1 , y 1 ) is on the curv, therefore y 1 = \(\sqrt{3 x_{1}-2}\) ⇒ y 1 = \(\sqrt{3 \times \frac{41}{48}-2}=\frac{3}{4}\) Hence, the point is (x 1 , y 1 )
Now, equation of the tangent is given by y – y 1 = m(x – x 1 ) ⇒ y – \(\frac{3}{4}\) = 2(x – \(\frac{41}{48}\)) ⇒ \(\frac{4 y-3}{4}=\frac{48 x-41}{24}\) ⇒ \(\frac{24}{4}\)(4y – 3) = 48x – 41 ⇒ 6(4y – 3) = 48x – 41 ⇒ 48x – 41 – 24y + 18 = 0 ⇒ 48x – 24y = 23, which is the required equation of the tangent.
On differentiating w.r.t. x, we get 2x = 4\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) ⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2 x}{4}=\frac{x}{2}\)
Slope of normal = \(-\frac{1}{\frac{d y}{d x}}=-\frac{1}{\frac{x}{2}}=-\frac{2}{x}\) Let (h, k) be the point where normal and curve intersect.
Question 3. Find the equations of the tangent and the normal to the curve 16x 2 + 9y 2 = 145 at the point (x 1 , y 1 ), where x 1 = 2 and y 1 > 0. (CBSE 2018) Answer: Given equation of curve is 16x 2 + 9y 2 = 145 Clearly, when x = 2, then 16(2) 2 + 9y 2 =145 9y 2 = 145 – 64 ⇒ 9y 2 = 81 ⇒ y 2 = 9 ⇒ y = ±3 [taking square root on both sides] But it is given that y 1 > 0 y = 3
Question 4. Find the angle of intersection of the curves x 2 + y 2 = 4 and (x – 2) 2 + y 2 = 4, at the point in the first quadrant. (CBSE 2018C) Answer: Given curves are x 2 + y 2 = 4 and (x – 2) 2 + y 2 = 4 From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get x 2 + 4 – 4x + y 2 = 4 ⇒ 4 – 4x = 0 ⇒ x = 1
Question 6. Find the equation of tangents to the curve y = x 3 + 2x – 4 which are perpendicular to the line x + 14y – 3 = 0. (All India 2016) Answer: Given equation of curve is y = x 3 + 2x – 4
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 3x 2 + 2
∴ The slope of required tangent is m 1 = \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 3x 2 + 2
Now, slope of line x + 14y – 3 = 0 or y = \(-\frac{x}{14}+\frac{3}{14}\) is m 2 = \(-\frac{1}{14}\)
Since, the required tangent is perpendicular to the line x + 14y -3=0. ∴ m 1 m 2 = -1 ⇒ (3x 2 + 2) × \(\left(-\frac{1}{14}\right)\) = -1 ⇒ 3x 2 + 2 = 14 ⇒ 3x 2 = 12 ⇒ x 2 = 4 ⇒ x =± 2
When x = 2, then y = 2 3 + 2 × 2- 4= 8 + 4 – 4 = 8
When x = – 2, then y = (-2) 3 + 2 × (-2) – 4 = -8 – 4 – 4 = -16 ∴ Points of contact are (2, 8) and (- 2, -16).
Now, equation of tangent at point (2, 8) is ⇒ y – 8 = \(\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{(2,8)}\) (x – 2) ⇒ y – 8 = ( 3 × 2 2 + 2)(x – 2) ⇒ y – 8 = 14(x – 2) ⇒ y = 14x – 20
and equation of tangent at point (- 2, -16) is ⇒ y + 16 = \(\frac{d y}{d x}_{(-2,-16)}\) (x + 2) ⇒ y + 16 = [3 (- 2) 2 + 2](x + 2) ⇒ y + 16 = 14 (x + 2) ⇒ y = 14x + 12 Hence, the required equation of tangents are y = 14x – 20 and y = 14x + 12
Question 8. Find the point on the curve 9y 2 = x 3 , where the normal to the curve makes equal intercepts on the axes. (Foreign 2015) Answer: Given curve is 9y 2 = x 3 …(i) On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get 9 × 2y\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 3x 2 ⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{3 x^{2}}{18 y}=\frac{x^{2}}{6 y}\) Let (x 1 , y 1 ) be the required point on the curve (i).
Question 9. Find the equations of the tangent and normal to the curves x = a sin 3 θ and y = a cos 3 θ at θ = \(\frac{\pi}{4}\). (Delhi 2014) Answer: Given, x = a sin 3 θ On differentiating both sides w.r.t. θ, we get \(\frac{d x}{d \theta}\) = a(3sin 2 θ cos θ) ⇒ \(\frac{d x}{d \theta}\) = 3a sin 2 θ cos θ and y = a cos 3 θ
Question 10. Find the equations of the tangent and normal to the curves \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}\) = 1 at the point (√2a, b). (Delhi 2014) Answer: Given equation of curves is \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}\) = 1
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get \(\frac{2 x}{a^{2}}-\frac{2 y}{b^{2}} \cdot \frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0 ⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{b^{2} x}{a^{2} y}\)
Slope of the tangent at point (√2a, b) is \(\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{(\sqrt{2} a, b)}=\frac{\sqrt{2} a b^{2}}{b a^{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{2} b}{a}\)
Hence, the equation of the tangent at point (√2a, b) is y – b = \(\frac{\sqrt{2} b}{a}\)(x – √2a) ⇒ a (y- b) = √2 b (x – √2a) ⇒ ay – ab = √2 bx – 2ab ⇒ √2bx – ay – ab = 0
Now, the slope of the normal at point (√2a, b) = \(\frac{-1}{\text { Slope of tangent }}=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2} b / a}\)
Hence, the equation of the normal at point(√2a, b) is (y – b) = \(-\frac{a}{\sqrt{2} b}\)(x – √2a) ⇒ √2b(y – b) = -a (x – √2a) ⇒ √2 by – √2 b 2 = -ax + √2 a 2 ∴ ax + √2by – √2 (a 2 + b 2 ) = 0
Question 11. Find the points on curve y = x 3 – 11x + 5 at which equation of tangent is y = x – 11. (Delhi 2012C) Answer: First, find the slope of tangent to the given curve and of given equation of tangent, then equate them to get value of x. Put value of x in given curve to find required points.
Given, equation of curve is y = x 3 – 11x + 5 ………(i)
Slope of the tangent at any point (x, y) is given by \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 3x – 11 ………….(ii)
Also, slope of the tangent y = x – 11 is 1. ∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 1 ⇒ 3x 2 – 11 = 1 [frpm Eq. (i)] ⇒ 3x 2 = 12 ⇒ x 2 = 4 ⇒ x = ±2
When x = 2, then y = (2) 3 -11(2) + 5 = 8 – 22 + 5 = – 9 When x = – 2, then y = (-2) 3 -11 (-2) + 5 = -8 + 22 + 5 = 19 Since, the points (-2, 19) does not lies on the line y = x – 1 Hence, the required points on the curve are (2, -9).
Question 12. Find the points on the curve x 2 + y 2 – 2x – 3 = 0 at which tangent is parallel to X-axis. (Delhi 2011) Answer: As tangent is parallel to X-axis, put \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0 and find value of x from it. Then, put this value of x in the equation of the given curve and find value of y.
Given equation of curve is x 2 + y 2 – 2x – 3 = 0
On putting \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0, we get 1 – x = 0 ⇒ x = 1 Now, on putting x = 1 in Eq. (i), we get 1 + y 2 – 2 – 3 = 0 y 2 = 4 ⇒ y = ±2 Hence, the required points are (1, 2) and (1, -2).
Question 13. Find the points on the curve y = x 3 at which the slope of the tangent is equal to y-coordinate of the point. (Foreign 2011) Answer: First, determine the derivative and put \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = y and then find the value of x from it. Further, put this value of x in the equation of the given curve and find the value of y.
Given equation of curve is y = x 3 . …….(i) On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 3x 2
∴ Slope of tangent at any point (x, y) is \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 3x 2
Now, given that Slope of tangent = y-coordinate of the point ⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = y ⇒ 3x 2 = y [∵\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 3x 2 ] ⇒ 3x 2 = x 3 [∵ y = x 3 ] ⇒ 3x 2 – x 3 = 0 ⇒ x 3 (3 – x) = 0 ⇒ Either x 2 = 0 or 3 – x = 0 x = 0, 3
Now, on putting x = 0 and 3 in Eq. (i), we get y = (0) 3 = 0 [at x = 0] and y = (3) 3 = 27 Hence, the required points are (0, 0) and (3, 27).
Question 17. Find the equation of tangent to the curve y = x 4 – 6x 3 + 13x 2 – 10x + 5 at point x = 1, y = 0. (Delhi 2011C) Answer: Given equation of curve is y = x 4 – 6x 3 + 13x 2 – 10x + 5
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 4x 3 – 18x 2 + 26x – 10
Slope of a tangent at point (1, 0) is m = \(\left[\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{x=1}\) = 4 – 18 + 26 – 10 = 2
∴ Equation of tangent at point (1,0) having slope 2 is y – 0 = 2(x – 1) ⇒ y = 2x – 2 Hence, required equation of tangent is 2x – y = 2
Question 18. Find the points on the curve y = [x(x – 2)] 2 , where the tangent is parallel to X-axis. (Delhi 2010) Answer: We have to find the points on the given curve where the tangent is parallel to X-axis. We know that, when a tangent is parallel to X-axis, then \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0 ⇒ \(\frac{d}{d x}\)(x 2 – 2x) 2 = 0 ⇒ 2(x 2 – 2x)(2x – 2) = 0 ⇒ x = 0, 1, 2 When x = 0, then y = [0(-2)] 2 = 0 When x = 1, then y = [1 – 2(1)] 2 = 1 When x = 2, then y = [2 2 – 2 × 2] 2 = 0 Hence, the tangent is parallel to X-axis at the points (0, 0), (1, 1) and (2, 0).
Question 19. Find the equation of tangent to the curve y = \(\frac{x-7}{x^{2}-5 x+6}\) at the point, where it cuts the X-axis. (All India 2010C, 2010) Answer: Given equation of curves is y = \(\frac{x-7}{x^{2}-5 x+6}\) ……….(i)
Hence, the required equation of tangent passing through the point (7, 0) having slope 1/20 is y – o = \(\frac{1}{20}\)(x – 7) ⇒ 20y = x – 7 ∴ x – 20y = 7
Question 20. Find the equations of the normal to the curve y = x 3 + 2x + 6, which are parallel to line x + 14y + 4 = 0. (Delhi 2010) Answer: First, find the slope of normal to curve, i.e. \(\frac{-1}{d y / d x}\) and put them equal to the slope of line, simplify them and find the values of x and y. Further, use the equation y – y 1 = Slope of normal (x – x 1 ).
Given equation of curve is y = x 2 + 2x + 6 ……..(i) and the given equation of line is x + 14y + 4= 0
On differentiating both sides of Eq. (i) w.r.t. x, we get \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 3x 2 + 2 Slope of normal = \(\frac{-1}{\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)}=\frac{-1}{3 x^{2}+2}\)
Also, slope of the line x + 14y + 4 = 0 is – \(\frac{1}{14}\) [∵ slope of the line Ax + By + C = 0 is – \(\frac{A}{B}\)] We know that, if two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal. ∴ \(-\frac{1}{3 x^{2}+2}=-\frac{1}{14}\) ⇒ 3x 2 + 2 = 14 ⇒ 3x 2 = 12 ⇒ x 2 = 4 ⇒ x = ± 2
When x = 2, then from Eq. (i), y = (2) 3 + 2(2) + 6 = 8 + 4 + 6 = 18 and when x = – 2, then from Eq. (i), y = (-2) 3 + 2(-2) + 6 = -8 – 4 + 6 = – 6
∴ Normal passes through (2, 18) and (-2, -6). Also, slope of normal = – \(\frac{1}{14}\) Hence, equation of normal at point (2, 18) is y – 18 = – \(\frac{1}{14}\)(x – 2) ⇒ 14y – 252 = – x + 2 ⇒ x + 14 y = 254
and equation of normal at point (-2, -6) is y + 6 = – \(\frac{1}{14}\) (x + 2) ⇒ 14y + 84 = -x – 2 ⇒ x + 14y = -86 Hence, the two equations of normal are x + 14y = 254 and x + 14y = – 86.
Question 21. Find the angle of intersection of the curves y 2 = 4ax and x 2 = 4by. (Foreign 2016) Answer: Given equations of curves are y 2 = 4ax …(i) and x 2 = 4 by … (ii) Clearly, the angle of intersection of curves (i) and (ii) is the angle between the tangents to the curves at the point of intersection. So, let us first find the intersection point of given curves.
On substituting the value of y from Eq. (ii) in Eq. (i), we get \(\left(\frac{x^{2}}{4 b}\right)^{2}\) = 4ax ⇒ \(\frac{x^{4}}{16 b^{2}}\) = 4ax ⇒ x 4 = 64ab 2 x ⇒ x 4 – 64ab 2 x = 0 ⇒ x(x 2 – 64ab 2 ) = 0 x = 0 or x = 4a 1/3 b 2/3 Clearly, when x = 0, then from Eq. (i), y = 0 and when x = 4a 1/3 b 2/3 , then from Eq. (i), y 2 =16a 4/3 b 2/3 ⇒ y = 4a 2/3 b 1/3
Thus, the points of intersection are (0, 0) and (4a 1/3 b 2/3 , 4a 2/3 b 1/3 ). Now, let us find the angle of intersection at (0, 0) and (4a 1/3 b 2/3 , 4a 2/3 b 1/3 ). Let be the slope of tangent to the curve (i) and m 2 be the slope of tangent to the curve (ii).
On squaring and adding Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get cos 2 (x 1 + y 1 ) + sin 2 (x 1 + y 1 ) = 1 + y 1 2 1 + y 2 1 = 1 ⇒ y 2 1 = o ⇒ y 1 = o
On putting y 1 = 0 in Eq. (iii), we get cosx 1 = 0 ⇒ x 1 = \(\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}, \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{-3 \pi}{2}\) [∵ -2π ≤ x ≤ 2π] But only x 1 = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) and \(\frac{-3 \pi}{2}\) satisfy Eq. (iv).
Hence, the points of contact are (\(\frac{\pi}{2}\), o) and (\(\frac{-3 \pi}{2}\), 0) ∴ Equations of tangents are y – 0 = –\(\frac{1}{2}\)(x – \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)) and y -0 = –\(\frac{1}{2}\)(x + \(\frac{-3 \pi}{2}\))
Question 23. Find the value of p for which the curves x 2 = 9p (9 – y) and x 2 = p (y + 1) cut each other at right angles. (All India 2015) Answer: Given equations of curves are x 2 = 9p (9 – y) …….(i) and x 2 = p (y + 1) ………….(ii)
As, these curves cut each other at right angle, therefore their tangent at point of intersection are perpendicular to each other. So, let us first find the point of intersection and slope of tangents to the curves. From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get 9p(9 – y) =p(y + 1) ∴ 9(9 – y) = y + 1 [∵ p ≠ 0, as if p = 0, then curves becomes straight, which will be parallel] ⇒ 81 – 9y = y + 1 ⇒ 80 = 10y ⇒ y = 8
On substituting the value of yin Eq. (i),we get x 2 = 9p ⇒ x = + 3 Thus, the point of intersection are (3√p, 8) and (-3√p, 8)
Now, consider Eq.(i),we get \(\frac{x^{2}}{9 p}\) = 9 – y ⇒ y = 9 – \(\frac{x^{2}}{9 p}\)
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{-2 x}{9 p}\) ……(iii)
From Eq. (ii), we get \(\frac{x^{2}}{p}\) = y + 1 ⇒ y = \(\frac{x^{2}}{p}\) – 1
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2 x}{p}\) ………(iv)
Now, for intersection point (3√p, 8), we have slope of tangent to the first curve = \(\frac{-2(3 \sqrt{p})}{9 p}=\frac{-6 \sqrt{p}}{9 p}\) [using Eq. (iii)]
and slope of tangent to the second curve = \(\frac{2(3 \sqrt{p})}{p}=\frac{6 \sqrt{p}}{p}\) [using Eq. (iv)]
∵ Tangents are perpendicular to each other. Then, Slope of first curve x Slope of second curve = -1 ∴ \(\frac{-6 \sqrt{p}}{9 p} \times \frac{6 \sqrt{p}}{p}\) = -1 ⇒ \(\frac{4}{p}\) = 1 ⇒ p = 4
And for intersection point (3√p, 8), we have slope of tangent to the first curve = \(\frac{-2(-3 \sqrt{p})}{9 p}=\frac{6 \sqrt{p}}{9 p}\) [using Eq. (iii)]
and slope of tangent to the second curve = \(\frac{2(-3 \sqrt{p})}{p}=\frac{-6 \sqrt{p}}{p}\) [using Eq. (iv)]
Tangents are perpendicular to each other. Then, \(\frac{6 \sqrt{p}}{9 p} \times \frac{-6 \sqrt{p}}{p}\) = -1 [∵ m 1 m 2 = -1] ⇒ \(\frac{4}{p}\) = 1 ⇒ p = 4 Hence, the value of p is 4.
Question 24. Find the equations of the tangent to the curve y = x 2 – 2x + 7 which is (i) parallel to the line 2x – y + 9 = 0. (ii) perpendicular to the line 5y – 15x = 13. (Delhi 2014C) Answer: Given equation of curve is y = x 2 – 2x + 7
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 2x – 2
(i) Given, equation of the line is 2x – y + 9 = 0 ⇒ y = 2x + 9 which is of the form y = mx + c.
∴ Slope of the line is m = 2 If a tangent is parallel to the line, then slope of tangent is equal to the slope of the line. Therefore, \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = m ⇒ 2x – 2 = 2 ⇒ x = 2 When x = 2, then from Eq. (i), we get y = 2 2 – 2 × 2 + 7 ⇒ y = 7 The point on the given curve at which tangent is parallel to given line is (2, 7) and the equation of the tangent is y – 7 = 2(x – 2) [∵ y – y 1 =m(x- x 1 )] ⇒ 2x – y + 3 = 0 Hence, the equation of the tangent line to the given curve which is parallel to line 2x – y + 9 = 0 is y – 2x – 3 = 0.
(ii) The equation of the given line is 5y – 15x = 13 ⇒ y = \(\frac{15 x+13}{5}\) = 3x + \(\frac{13}{5}\) which is of the form y = mx + c
Question 25. Find the equation of the normal at a point on the curve x 2 = 4y, which passes through the point (1, 2). Also, find the equation of the corresponding tangent. (Delhi 2013) Answer: Given curve is x 2 = 4y. On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x,we get 2x = 4\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) ⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) Let (h, k) be the coordinates of the point of contact of the normal to the curve x2 = 4y. Then, slope of the tangent at (h, k) is given by \(\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{(h, k)}=\frac{h}{2}\) and slope of the normal ay (h, k) = \(\frac{-1}{d y / d x}=\frac{-2}{h}\)
Therefore, the equation of normal at (h, k) is y – k = \(\frac{-2}{h}\)(x – h) ………….(i) [∵ Equation of normal in slope form is y – y 1 = \(\frac{-1}{m}\)(x – x 1 )] Since, it passes through the point (1, 2), so on putting x =1 and y = 2, we get 2 – k = \(\frac{-2}{h}\)(1 – h) ⇒ k = 2 + Since, (h, k) also lies on the curve x 2 = 4y, therefore h 2 = 4k ………(iii)
On solving Eqs.(ii) and (iii), we get h = 2 and k = 1
Substituting the values of h and k in Eq.(i), the required equation of normal is y – 1 = \(\frac{-2}{2}\)(x – 2) ⇒ x + y = 3
Now, equation of tangent at (h, k) is y – k = \(\frac{h}{2}\)(x – h)
On putting h = 2 and k = 1, we get y – 1 = \(\frac{2}{2}\)(x – 2) ⇒ y – 1 = x – 2 ∴ y = x – 1
Question 26. Find the equations of tangents to the curve 3x 2 – y 2 = 8, which passes through the point [\(\frac{4}{3}\), 0 ]. (All India 2013) Answer: First, differentiate the given curve with respect to x and determine \(\frac{d y}{d x}\). Then, find the equation of tangent at (x, y,}. Now, as this equation is passes through given point (x0, y0), so this point will satisfy the tangent and curve also. Further, simplify it and get the required equations of tangent.
Given equation of curve is 3x 2 – y 2 = 8
Now, on solving Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get 4h = 8 ⇒ h = 2
On putting h = 2 in Eq. (iv), we get 3 (2) 2 – k 2 = 8 ⇒ k 2 = 4 ⇒ k = ±2
Now, putting the values of h and k in Eq. (h), we get ⇒ y = (±2) = \(\frac{3(2)}{\pm 2}\)(x – 2) ⇒ y + 2 = ±3(x – 2) ⇒ y = ± 3(x – 2) ± 2 ⇒ y = ± {3(x – 2) + 2} ⇒ y = ± (3x – 6 + 2) ⇒ y = ± (3x – 4) Hence, y = – 3x + 4 and y = 3x – 4 are two required equations of tangent.
Question 27. Find all the points on the curve y = 4x 3 – 2x 5 at which the tangent passes through the origin. (Delhi 2013C) Answer: Given curve is y = 4x 3 – 2x 5 . ………(i)
Let any point on the curve be (x 1 ,y 1 ). So, it satisfies Eq. (i). ∴ y 1 = 4x 1 3 – 2x 1 5 ………(ii)
On differentiating both sides of Eq. (i), we get \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 12x 2 – 10x 4
Equation of tangent at point (x 1 , y 1 ) is y – y 1 = \(\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)}\) (x – x 1 ) ⇒ y – y 1 = [12(x 1 ) 2 – 10(x 1 ) 4 ](x – x 1 )
Since, it passes through the origin. ∴ 0 – y 1 = (12x 1 2 – 10x 1 4 )(0 – x 1 ) ⇒ y 1 = (12x 1 2 – 10x 1 4 )x 1 ………(iii)
From Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get (12x 2 1 – 10x 4 1 )x 1 = 4x 1 3 – 2x 1 5 ⇒ 2x 1 3 (6 – 5x 1 2 ) = 2x 1 3 (2 – x 1 2 ) ⇒ 2x 1 3 (4 – 4x 1 2 ) = 0 ⇒ x 1 = 0 or 4 – 4x 1 2 = 0 ∴ x 1 = 0 or x 1 = 1
On putting the values of x, = 0,1 and -1 respectively in Eq. (ii), we get At x 1 = 0, y 1 = 0 At x 1 = 1, y 1 = 4(1) 3 -2(1) 5 = 4 – 2 = 2 and at x 1 = (-1), y 1 = 4(-1) 3 – 2(-1) 5 = 4 (-1) – 2 (-1) = -4+ 2 = -2 Hence, all points on the curve at which the tangent passes through origin, are (0, 0), (1, 2) and (-1,-2).
Question 28. Prove that the curves x = y 2 and xy = k cut at the right angles, if 8k 2 = 1. (Delhi 2013C) Answer: Given equations of curves are x = y 2 …(i) and xy = k …(ii)
On cubing both sides, we get 8k 2 = 1 Hence Proved.
Question 29. Prove that all normals to the curves x = a cos t + at sin t and y = a sin t – at cos t are at a constant distance ‘a’ from the origin. (All India 2013C) Answer: Given equations of curves are x = a cost + at sin t and y = asin t – at cost
On differentiating x and y separately w.r.t. t, we get \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) = -asin t + a(t cost + sin t) = -a sin t + a tcos t+ a sin t = at cost and \(\frac{d y}{d t}\) = acos t – a[t(-sin t) + cos t)] = a cost + at sin t – acost = at sin t
Now \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{\frac{d y}{d t}}{\frac{d x}{d t}}=\frac{a t \sin t}{a t \cos t}\) = tan t = Slope of normal at any point t = \(\frac{-1}{\tan t}\) = -cot t
Now, equation of normal at any point t is given by y – (asin t – at cos t) = – cot t[x – (a cos t + atsint)] ⇒ y – asin t + at cos t = \(\frac{-\cos t}{\sin t}\) (x – acost – at sin t) ⇒ y sint – a sin 2 t + at cost sint = -x cost + acos 2 t + at sint cost ⇒ x cost + y sint = a(cos 2 t + sin 2 t) ⇒ x cost + ysint = a [∵ sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ = 1] ∴ xcos t + ysin t – a = 0 Now, the distance of normal from the origin is given by \(\frac{|0 \cdot \cos t+0 \cdot \sin t-a|}{\sqrt{\cos ^{2} t+\sin ^{2} t}}=\frac{|-a|}{\sqrt{1}}\) = a
Question 30. Find the equations of tangent and normal to the curve x = 1 – cos θ, y = θ – sin θ at θ = \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) Answer: First, differentiate the given curve with respect to and then determine \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) at θ = \(\frac{\pi}{4}\). Further, use the formula, equation of tangent at (x 1 , y 1 ) is y – y 1 = m(x – x 1 ) and equation of normal at (x 1 , y 1 ) is y – y 1 = –\(\frac{1}{m}\) (x – x 1 ).
Maxima and Minima
Question 2. The sum of the perimeters of a circle and square is k, where k is some constant. Prove that the sum of their areas is least, when the side of the square is double the radius of the circle. (Delhi 2014C) Answer: Let r be the radius of circle and x be the side of a square. Then, given that Perimeter of square + Perimeter of circle = k (constant) i.e. 4x + 2πr = k ⇒ x = \(\frac{k-2 \pi r}{4}\) ……(i)
Let A denotes the sum of their areas. ∴ Area, A = area of a square + area of circle ∴ A = x 2 + πr 2 …(ii)
Question 3. A tank with rectangular base and rectangular sides, open at the top is to be constructed, so that its depth is 2 m and volume is 8 m 3 . If building of tank cost ₹ 70 per sq m for the base and ₹ 45 per sq m for sides. What is the cost of least expensive tank? (Delhi 2019) Answer: Let x m be the length, y m be the breadth and h=2m be the depth of the tank. Let ₹ H be the total cost for building the tank. Now, given that h = 2 m and volume of tank = 8 m 3 . Clearly, area of the rectangular base of the tank = length × breadth = xy m 2
and the area of the four rectangular sides = 2 (length + breadth) × height = 2 (x + y) × 2= 4 (x + y) m 2
∴ Total cost, H = 70 × xy + 45 × 4 (x + y) ⇒ H = 70xy + 180 (x + y) …………(i)
Also, volume of tank = 8 m 3 ⇒ l × b × h = 8 ⇒ x × y × 2 = 8 ⇒ y = \(\frac{4}{x}\) …..(ii)
Question 6. Show that the altitude of the right circular cone of maximum volume that can he inscribed in a sphere of radius r is \(\frac{4r}{3}\) Also, find the maximum volume in terms of volume of the sphere. (Delhi 2019, 2016) Or Show that the altitude of the right circular cone of maximum volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius r is \(\frac{4r}{3}\). Also, show that the maximum volume of the cone is \(\frac{8}{27}\) of the volume of the sphere. (All India 2014) Answer: Let R be the radius and h be the height of the cone, which inscribed in a sphere of radius r. ∴ OA = h – r
In ΔOAB, by Pythagoras theorem, we have r 2 = R 2 + (h – r) 2 ⇒ r = R 2 + h 2 + r 2 – 2rh ⇒ R 2 = 2rh – h 2 ……….(i)
Note that, to admit maximum light, area of window should be maximum. Here, area of window A = area of rectangle + area of semicircular region = 2x × y + \(\frac{1}{2}\)πx 2 ⇒ A = 2x\(\left(\frac{10-x(\pi+2)}{2}\right)\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) πx 2 [from Eq. (i)] ⇒ A = 10x – x 2 (π + 2) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) πx 2
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get dA \(\frac{d A}{d x}\) = 10 – 2x (π + 2) + πx = 10- 2x π – 4x + πx = 10 – πx – 4x ……(iii)
For maximum, Put \(\frac{d A}{d x}\) = 0 ⇒ 10 = πx + 4x ⇒ x = \(\frac{10}{\pi+4}\)
Question 8. Show that the surface area of a closed cuboid with square base and given volume is minimum, when it is a cube. (All India 2017) Answer: Let V be the fixed volume of a closed cuboid with length x, breadth x and height y. Then, V = x × x × y ⇒ y = \(\frac{V}{x^{2}}\) …………(i)
Let C denotes the cost of the box. C = 2x 2 × 5 + 4xy × 2.50 = 10x 2 + 10xy = 10x (x + y) = 10x(x + \(\frac{1024}{x^{2}}\)) = 10x 2 + \(\frac{10240}{x}\) ……..(i)
Now, when θ = tan -1 √2, then tan 2 θ = 2 ⇒ sin 2 θ = 2cos 2 θ
Now, perimeter (P) of ΔABC = AB + BC + AC = AE + BE + BD + DC + AF + FC = (AE +AF) + (BE + BD + DC + FC) = 2AE + 4BD …(i)
Consider ΔOEA, in this we have AE = \(\frac{O E}{\tan \theta}=\frac{r}{\tan \theta}\) and OA = \(\frac{r}{\sin \theta}\) and in ΔADB we have BD = AD tan θ = (AO + OD) tanθ = [\(\frac{r}{\sin \theta}\) + r)tan θ Now, P = 2.\(\frac{r}{\sin \theta}\) + 4(\(\frac{r}{\sin \theta}\) + r)tan θ [From Eq. (i)] ⇒ P(θ) = r(2 cot θ + 4 sec θ + 4 tan θ) …….(ii)
Question 15. Find the local maxima and local minima of the function f(x) = sin x – cos x, 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π. Also, find the local maximum and local minimum values. (Delhi 2015) Answer: We have, f(x) = sin x – cos x, 0< x < 2π On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get f'(x) = cosx + sinx ……….(i) For local maximum and local minimum, Put f'(x) = 0, i.e. cosx + sinx = 0 ⇒ cosx = – sinx ⇒ tanx = -1 ⇒ x = π – \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) or 2π – \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) ⇒ x = \(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\) or \(\frac{7 \pi}{4}\)
Question 18. A point on the hypotenuse of a right triangle is at distances a and b from the sides of the triangle. Show that the minimum length of the hypotenuse is (a 2/3 + b 2/3 ) 3/2 . (Delhi 2015C) Answer: Let P be a point on the hypotenuse AC of right angled ΔABC. Such that PL ⊥ AB and PL = a and PM ⊥ BC and PM = b. Let ∠APL = ∠ACB = 6 [say] Then, AP = a sec θ, PC = b cosec θ
Let l be the length of the hypotenuse, then l = AP + PC ⇒ l = a sec θ + b cosec θ, 0 < θ< \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
On putting V 2 = 2π 2 r 6 /9 in Eq. (i), we get 2π 2 r 6 = π 2 r 4 h 2 ⇒ 2r 2 = h 2 ⇒ h = √2r ⇒ \(\frac{h}{r}\) = √2 ⇒ cot θ = √2 [from the figure, cot θ = \(\frac{h}{r}\).] ∴ θ = cot -1 √2 Hence, the semi-vertical angle of the right circular cone of given volume and least curved surface area is cot -1 √2. Hence proved.
Note: If square of any area is maximum (or minimum), then area is also maximum (or minimum).
Question 29. Show that the right circular cone of least curved surface and given volume has an altitude equal to √2 times the radius of the base. (Delhi 2011) Answer: Let C denotes the curved surface area, r be the radius of base, h be the height and V be the volume of right circular cone. We know that, volume of cone is given by V = \(\frac{1}{3}\)πr 2 h ⇒ h = \(\frac{3 V}{\pi r^{2}}\) …(i) Also, the curved surface area of cone is given by C = ml, where l = \(\sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}}\) is the slant height of cone. ∴ C = πr\(\sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}}\)
Let A be the area of rectangle. ∴ A = (2x) (2y) [∵ area of rectangle = length x breadth] ⇒ A = 4 xy ⇒ A = 4x\(\sqrt{b^{2}-x^{2}}\) [∵ y = \(\sqrt{b^{2}-x^{2}}\)]
Question 32. Show that of all the rectangles with a given perimeter, the square has the largest area. (Delhi 2011) Answer: Let x and y be the lengths of two sides of a rectangle. Again, let P denotes its perimeter and A be the area of rectangle. Then, P = 2 (x + y) [∵ perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)] ⇒ P = 2x + 2y ⇒ y = \(\frac{P-2 x}{2}\) …..(i)
We know that, area of rectangle is given by A = xy ⇒ A = x\(\left(\frac{P-2 x}{2}\right)\) [by using Eq. (i)] ⇒ A = \(\left(\frac{P-2 x}{2}\right)\)
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get \(\frac{d A}{d x}=\frac{P-4 x}{2}\)
For maxima or minima, put \(\frac{d A}{d x}\) = 0 ⇒ \(\frac{P-4 x}{2}\) = 0 ⇒ P = 4x ⇒ 2x + 2y = 4x [∵ P = 2x + 2y] ⇒ x = y
So, the rectangle is a square. Also, \(\frac{d^{2} A}{d x^{2}}=\frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{P-4 x}{2}\right)\) = \(-\frac{4}{2}\) = -2 < 0 ⇒ A is maximum. Hence, area is maximum, when rectangle is a square. Hence proved.
Question 35. Find the point on the curve y 2 = 2x which is at a minimum distance from the point (1, 4). (All India 2011) Answer: First, consider any point on the curve, use the, formula of distance between two points. Then, square both sides and eliminate one variable with i the help of given equation. Further, apply concept : of maxima and minima to find the required point.
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. y, we get \(\frac{d Z}{d y}=\frac{4 y^{3}}{4}\) – 8 = y 3 – 8
For maxima or minima, put \(\frac{d Z}{d y}\) = 0 ⇒ y 3 – 8 = 0 ⇒ y 3 = 8 ⇒ y = 2 Also, \(\frac{d^{2} Z}{d y^{2}}=\frac{d}{d y}\)(y 3 – 8) = 3y 2
On putting y = 2, we get \(\left(\frac{d^{2} Z}{d y^{2}}\right)_{y=2}\) = 3(2) 2 = 12 >0 \(\frac{d^{2} Z}{d y^{2}}\) > 0
∴ Z is minimum and therefore PQ is also minimum as Z = PQ 2 . On putting y = 2 in the given equation, i.e. y 2 = 2x, we get (2) 2 = 2x ⇒ 4 = 2x ⇒ x = 2 Hence, the point which is at a minimum distance from point (1, 4) is P (2, 2).
Question 36. A wire of length 28 m is to be cut into two pieces. One of the two pieces is to be made into a square and the other into a circle. What should be the lengths of two pieces, so that the combined area of circle and square is minimum? (All India 2010) Answer: First, find length of circular part (or its circumference) and calculate the length of square part (or its perimeter). Add these two terms and equate it to 28 m and apply second derivative test to check minimum.
Let x m be the side of the square and r be the radius of circular part. Then, Length of square part = perimeter of square = 4 × Side = 4 × and length of circular part = circumference of circle = 2πr Given, length of wire = 28 ⇒ 4x + 2πr = 28 ⇒ 2x + πr = 14 ∴ x = \(\frac{14-\pi r}{2}\) ……(i)
Question 37. Show 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. (Delhi 2010C) Answer: Let R be the radius and h be the height of the cone, which inscribed in a sphere of radius r. ∴ OA = h – r
Question 38. Find the maximum area of an isosceles triangle inscribed in the ellipse \(\frac{x^{2}}{25}+\frac{y^{2}}{16}\) = 1, with its vertex at one end of the major axis. (Delhi 2010c) Answer: Given equation of ellipse is \(\frac{x^{2}}{25}+\frac{y^{2}}{16}\) = 1
Note: If A 2 is maximum/minimum, then A is also maximum/minimum.
Question 39. Show that the right circular cylinder, open at the top and of given surface area and maximum volume is such that its height is equal to the radius of the base. (Delhi 2010) Answer: Let V be the volume, S be the total surface area of a right circular cylinder which is open at the top. Again, let r be the radius of base and h be the height. Now, S = 2πrh + πr 2 [∵ cylinder is open at top] ⇒ h = \(\frac{S-\pi r^{2}}{2 \pi r}\) ……….(i)

Class 12 Maths question paper will have 1-2 Case Study Questions. These questions will carry 5 MCQs and students will attempt any four of them. As all of these are only MCQs, it is easy to score good marks with a little practice. Class 12 Maths Case Study Questions are available on the myCBSEguide App and Student Dashboard .
CBSE has introduced case study questions in the CBSE curriculum recently. The purpose was to make students ready to face real-life challenges with the knowledge acquired in their classrooms. It means, there was a need to connect theories with practicals. Whatsoever the students are learning, they must know how to apply it in their day-to-day life. That’s why CBSE is emphasizing case studies and competency-based education .
Let’s have a look over the class 12 Mathematics sample question paper issued by CBSE, New Delhi. Question numbers 17 and 18 are case study questions.
If you go through each MCQ there, you will find that the theme/case study is common but the questions are based on different concepts related to the theme. It means, that if you have done ample practice on the various concepts, you can solve all these MCQs in minutes.
The difficulty level of the questions is average or say easy in some cases. On the other hand, you get four options to choose from. So, you get two levels of support to get full marks with very little effort.
Most of the time we feel that it’s easy and neglect it. But in the end, we have to pay for this negligence. This may happen here too. Although it’s easy to score good marks on the case study questions if you don’t practice such questions, you may lose your marks. So, we suggest students should practice at least 30-40 such questions before writing the board exam.
We are giving you some examples of case study questions here. We have arranged hundreds of such questions chapter-wise on the myCBSEguide App. It is the complete guide for CBSE students. You can download the myCBSEguide App and get more case study questions there.
Answer Key:
Read the case study carefully and answer any four out of the following questions: Once a mathematics teacher drew a triangle ABC on the blackboard. Now he asked Jose,” If I increase AB by 11 cm and decrease the side BC by 11 cm, then what type of triangle it would be?” Jose said, “It will become an equilateral triangle.”
Again teacher asked Suraj,” If I multiply the side AB by 4 then what will be the relation of this with side AC?” Suraj said it will be 10 cm more than the three times AC.
Find the sides of the triangle using the matrix method and answer the following questions:
DETERMINANTS: A determinant is a square array of numbers (written within a pair of vertical lines) that represents a certain sum of products. We can solve a system of equations using determinants, but it becomes very tedious for large systems. We will only do 2 × 2 and 3 × 3 systems using determinants. Using the properties of determinants solve the problem given below and answer the questions that follow:
Three shopkeepers Ram Lal, Shyam Lal, and Ghansham are using polythene bags, handmade bags (prepared by prisoners), and newspaper envelopes as carrying bags. It is found that the shopkeepers Ram Lal, Shyam Lal, and Ghansham are using (20,30,40), (30,40,20), and (40,20,30) polythene bags, handmade bags, and newspapers envelopes respectively. The shopkeeper’s Ram Lal, Shyam Lal, and Ghansham spent ₹250, ₹270, and ₹200 on these carry bags respectively.
