Function (Column A) | Tangent at $(0,0)$ (Column B) | Graph (Column C) | |
---|---|---|---|
i) | $f(x)=x2^{x}$ | a) $y=-4x$ | 1) |

- ii): $f(x)=x(x-2)(x+2)$, $f’(0)=-4$ → tangent: $y=-4x$ → matches with a) and graph 1 ii) $\rightarrow$ a) $$\rightarrow 1
- iii): $f(x)=-x(x-2)(x+2)$, $f’(0)=4$ → tangent: $y=4x$ → matches with c) and graph 2
iii) $\rightarrow$ c) $$\rightarrow 2
Question 2: Consider the following two functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$:
$$ f(x)= \begin{cases} \frac{x^{3}-9x}{x(x-3)} & \text{if } x \neq 0,3 \\ 3 & \text{if } x=0 \\ 0 & \text{if } x=3 \end{cases} $$$$ g(x)= \begin{cases} |x| & \text{if } x \leq 2 \\ \lfloor x \rfloor & \text{if } x>2 \end{cases} $$Options: Option 1: $f(x)$ is discontinuous at both $x=0$ and $x=3$ Option 2: $f(x)$ is discontinuous only at $x=0$ Option 3: $f(x)$ is discontinuous only at $x=3$ Option 4: $g(x)$ is discontinuous at $x=2$ Option 5: $g(x)$ is discontinuous at $x=3$
Solution:
- f(x): Continuous at $x=0$, discontinuous at $x=3$ → Option 3
- g(x): Continuous at $x=2$, discontinuous at $x=3$ → Option 5
Question 3: Consider the graphs given below (Curve 1, Curve 2, Curve 3, Curve 4).
Options: Option 1: Curve 1 is both continuous and differentiable at the origin. Option 2: Curve 2 is continuous but not differentiable at the origin. Option 3: Curve 2 has derivative 0 at $x=0$. Option 4: Curve 3 is continuous but not differentiable at the origin. Option 5: Curve 4 is not differentiable anywhere. Option 6: Curve 4 has derivative 0 at $x=0$.
Solution:
- Curve 1: Continuous and differentiable at origin → Option 1
- Curve 2: Continuous and differentiable at origin, derivative 0 → Option 2, 3 (but note: Option 2 is false as per solution, but solution says Curve 2 is differentiable at origin with derivative 0. Likely only Option 3 is correct, but solution text is ambiguous. Most likely: Option 3.)
- Curve 3: Continuous but not differentiable at origin → Option 4
- Curve 4: Differentiable at $x=1$, not everywhere, but not differentiable at all points is false; option 5 is false. Option 6 is also false. Clarification: Based on solution, only Option 1 and Option 4 are correct, but solution text is unclear about Curve 2; likely Option 3 is also correct, but solution says Curve 2 is differentiable. User should verify with figure. However, as per solution: Curve 2 is differentiable at origin with derivative 0, so Option 3 is correct. Option 2 is incorrect (since Curve 2 is differentiable at origin). Option 4 is correct.
Question 4: Consider the function:
$$ f(x)= \begin{cases} \frac{\sin x}{x} & \text{if } x \neq 0 \\ 1 & \text{if } x=0 \end{cases} $$Options: Option 1: $f(x)$ is not continuous at $x=0$ Option 2: $f(x)$ is continuous at $x=0$ Option 3: $f(x)$ is not differentiable at $x=0$ Option 4: $f(x)$ is differentiable at $x=0$ Option 5: The derivative of $f(x)$ at $x=0$ (if exists) is 0 Option 6: The derivative of $f(x)$ at $x=0$ (if exists) is 1
Solution:
- f(x): Continuous at $x=0$ → Option 2
- Differentiable at $x=0$, derivative is 0 → Option 4, 5
Question 5: Let $f$ be a polynomial of degree 5:
$$ f(x)=a_{5}x^{5}+a_{4}x^{4}+a_{3}x^{3}+a_{2}x^{2}+a_{1}x+a_{0} $$Let $f’(b)$ denote the derivative of $f$ at $x=b$.
Options: Option 1: $a_{1}=f’(0)$ Option 2: $5a_{5}+3a_{3}=\frac{1}{2}\left(f’(1)+f’(-1)-2f’(0)\right)$ Option 3: $4a_{4}+2a_{2}=\frac{1}{2}\left(f’(1)-f’(-1)\right)$ Option 4: None of the above
Solution:
- Option 1: $a_{1}=f’(0)$ → True
- Option 2: $5a_{5}+3a_{3}=\frac{1}{2}\left(f’(1)+f’(-1)-2f’(0)\right)$ → True
- Option 3: $4a_{4}+2a_{2}=\frac{1}{2}\left(f’(1)-f’(-1)\right)$ → True
- Option 4: False

Question 8: Consider the following statements:
- Statement P: Both the functions $p(t)$ and $q(t)$ are continuous.
- Statement Q: $p(t)$ is continuous, but $q(t)$ is not.
- Statement R: $q(t)$ is continuous, but $p(t)$ is not.
- Statement S: Neither $p(t)$ nor $q(t)$ is continuous.
Given the functions:
$$ p(t)= \begin{cases} \frac{t^{3}-27}{t-3} & \text{if } 0 \leq t < 3 \\ 27 & t=3 \\ \frac{1}{e^{81}(t-3)}\left(e^{27t}-e^{81}\right) & \text{if } t>3 \end{cases} $$$$ q(t)= \begin{cases} (5t-9)^{\frac{1}{t-2}} & \text{if } 0 \leq t < 2 \\ e^{4} & t=2 \\ \frac{e^{t+2}-e^{4}}{t-2} & \text{if } t>2 \end{cases} $$Find the number of the correct statements.
Solution:
- p(t): Continuous at $t=3$
- q(t): Not continuous at $t=2$ (left limit $e^5$, right limit $e^4$) Only Statement Q is correct. Answer: 1
Question 9: If $L_p(t)=At+B$ denotes the best linear approximation of the function $p(t)$ at the point $t=1$, then find the value of $2A+B$.
Solution: $p(t)=\frac{t^{3}-27}{t-3}$ for $0 \leq t < 3$ $p(1)=13$, $p’(1)=5$ Linear approximation: $L_p(t)=5t+8$ So, $A=5$, $B=8$ Answer: $2A+B=18$
Question 11: Consider a function $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ defined as:
$$ f(x)= \begin{cases} \frac{\sin 14x + A \sin x}{19x^{3}} & \text{if } x \neq 0 \\ B & \text{if } x=0 \end{cases} $$If $f(x)$ is continuous at $x=0$, then find the value of $114B-A$.
Question 12: The distance (in meters) traveled by a car after $t$ minutes is given by the function $d(t)=g(4t^{3}+2t^{2}+5t+2)$, where $g$ is a differentiable function with domain $\mathbb{R}$. Find the instantaneous speed of the car after 5 min, where $g’(577)=2$.
Solution: $d’(t)=g’(4t^{3}+2t^{2}+5t+2)(12t^{2}+4t+5)$ At $t=5$, $d’(5)=g’(577)\times325=2\times325=650$ Answer: 650
Question 13: Consider the functions:
$$ p(t)= \begin{cases} \frac{2e^{(t-2)}-2}{t-2} & \text{if } 0 \leq t < 2 \\ 2 & t=2 \\ 2(t^{2}-4)^{\frac{1}{\ln(t-2)}} & \text{if } t>2 \end{cases} $$$$ q(t)=|t(t-7)(t-8)| $$Statements: P: Both $p(t)$ and $q(t)$ are continuous Q: Both are not differentiable R: $p(t)$ is continuous, $q(t)$ is differentiable S: $q(t)$ is continuous, $p(t)$ is not differentiable T: Neither is continuous
Find the number of correct statements.
Solution:
- p(t): Not continuous at $t=2$
- q(t): Continuous, but not differentiable at $x=0,7,8$ Only S is correct. Answer: 1
Question 15: Consider the function:
$$ q(t)=|t(t-7)(t-8)| $$If $m$ is slope of the tangent of the function $q(t)$ at point $t=\frac{3}{2}$, find the value $m-\frac{27}{4}$.
