I. Choose the correct option from the given alternatives:

Question 1.
If the function f(x) = ax3 + bx2 + 11x – 6 satisfies conditions of Rolle’s theorem in [1, 3] and f'(2 + \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)) = 0, then values of a and b are respectively.
(a) 1, -6
(b) -2, 1
(c) -1, -6
(d) -1, 6
Answer:
(a) 1, -6

Hint: f(x) = ax3 + bx2 + 11x – 6 satisfies the conditions of Rolle’s theorem in [1, 3]
∴ f(1) = f(3)
a(1)3 + b(1)2 + 11(1) – 6 = a(3)3 + b(3)2 + 11(3) – 6
a + b + 11 = 27a + 9b + 33
26a + 8b = -22
13a + 4b = -11
Only a = 1, b = -6 satisfy this equation.

Question 2.
If f(x) = \(\frac{x^{2}-1}{x^{2}+1}\), for every real x, then the minimum value of f is
(a) 1

A ladder 5 m in length is resting against a vertical wall. The bottom of the ladder is pulled along the ground away from the wall at the rate of 1.5 m/sec. The length of the higher point of the ladder when the foot of the ladder is 4.0 m away from the wall decreases at the rate of
(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 2.5
(d) 3
Answer:
(b) 2

Question 4.
Let f(x) and g(x) be differentiable for 0 < x < 1 such that f(0) = 0, g(0) = 0, f(1) = 6. Let there exist a real number c in (0, 1) such that f'(c) = 2g'(c), then the value of g(1) must be
(a) 1
(b) 3
(c) 2.5
(d) -1
Answer:
(b) 3

Hint: f(x) and g(x) both satisfies the conditions of LMVT in (0, 1).
∴ f'(c) = \(\frac{f(1)-f(0)}{1-0}=\frac{6-0}{1}=6\)
and g'(c) = \(\frac{g(1)-g(0)}{1-0}=\frac{g(1)-0}{1}\) = g(1)
But f'(c) = 2g'(c)
6 = 2g(1)
∴ g(1) = 3

Question 5.
Let f(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 9x + 18, then f(x) is strictly decreasing in
(a) (-∞, 1)
(b) [3, ∞)

(d) (1, 3)

Question 6.
If x = -1 and x = 2 are the extreme points of y = α log x + βx2 + x, then
(a) α = -6, β = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
(b) α = -6, β = \(\frac{-1}{2}\)
(c) α = 2, β = \(\frac{-1}{2}\)
(d) α = 2, β = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Answer:
(c) α = 2, β = \(\frac{-1}{2}\)

Hint: y = α log x + βx2 + x
∴ \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{\alpha}{x}+\beta \times 2 x+1=\frac{\alpha}{x}+2 \beta x+1\)
f(x) has extreme values at x = -1 and x = 2
∴ f'(-1) = 0 and f(2) = 0
α + 2β = 1
and \(\frac{\alpha}{2}\) + 4β = -1
By solving these two equations, we get
α = 2, β = \(\frac{-1}{2}\)

Question 7.
The normal to the curve x2 + 2xy – 3y2 = 0 at (1, 1)
(a) meets the curve again in the second quadrant
(b) does not meet the curve again
(c) meets the curve again in the third quadrant
(d) meets the curve again in the fourth quadrant
Answer:
(d) meets the curve again in fourth quadrant

Hint: x2 + 2xy – 3y2 = 0
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 I Q7
= slope of the tangent at (1, 1)
∴ equation of the tangent at (1, 1) is -1
∴ equation of the normal is
y – 1= -1 (x – 1) = -x + 1
∴ x + y = 2
∴ y = 2 – x
Substituting y = 2 – x in x2 + 2xy – 3y2 = 0, we get
x2 + 2x(2 – x) – 3 (2 – x)2 = 0
⇒ x2 + 4x – 2x2 – 3(4 – 4x + x2) = 0
⇒ x2 – 4x + 3 = 0
⇒ (x – 1)(x – 3) = 0
⇒ x = 1, x = 3
When x = 1, y = 2 – 1 = 1
When x = 3, y = 2 – 3 = -1
∴ the normal at (1, 1) meets the curve at (3, -1) which is in the fourth quadrant.

Question 8.
The equation of the tangent to the curve y = 1 – \(e^{\frac{x}{2}}\) at the point of intersection with Y-axis is
(a) x + 2y = 0
(b) 2x + y = 0
(c) x – y = 2
(d) x + y = 2
Answer:
(a) x + 2y = 0
Hint: The point of intersection of the curve with the Y-axis is the origin (0, 0).

Question 9.

(a) (4, 4)
(b) (-1, 2)
(c) (3, 6)
(d) \(\left(\frac{9}{4}, \frac{3}{8}\right)\)
Answer:
(d) \(\left(\frac{9}{4}, \frac{3}{8}\right)\)
Hint: y2 = x(2 – x)2
= x(4 – 4x + x2)
= x3 – 4x2 + 4x
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 I Q9
= slope of the tangent at (1, 1)
∴ equation of the tangent at (1, 1) is
y – 1 = –\(\frac{1}{2}\) (x – 1)
∴ 2y – 2 = -x + 1
∴ x + 2y = 3
Only the coordinates \(\left(\frac{9}{4}, \frac{3}{8}\right)\) satisfy both the equations y2 = x(2 – x)2 and x + 2y = 3
∴ P is \(\left(\frac{9}{4}, \frac{3}{8}\right)\)

Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q1.1

Question 2.
Determine the area of the triangle formed by the tangent to the graph of the function y = 3 – x2 drawn at the point (1, 2) and the coordinate axes.
Solution:
y = 3 – x2
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q2
= slope of the tangent at (1, 2)
∴ equation of the tangent at (1, 2) is
y – 2= -2(x – 1)
⇒ y – 2= -2x + 2
⇒ 2x + y = 4
Let this tangent cuts the coordinate axes at A(a, 0) and B(0, b).
∴ 2a + 0 = 4 and 2(0) + b = 4
∴ a = 2 and b = 4
∴ area of required triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × l(OA) × l(OB)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) ab
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) (2)(4)
= 4 sq units.

Question 3.
Find the equation of the tangent and normal drawn to the curve y4 – 4x4 – 6xy = 0 at the point M (1, 2).
Solution:
y4 – 4x4 – 6xy = 0
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q3
= slope of the tangent at (1, 2)
∴ the equation of normal at M (1, 2) is
y – 2 = \(\frac{14}{13}\) (x – 1)
∴ 13y – 26 = 14x – 14
∴ 14x – 13y + 12 = 0
The slope of normal at (1, 2)
\(=\frac{-1}{\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\mathrm{at}(1,2)}}=\frac{-1}{\left(\frac{14}{13}\right)}=-\frac{13}{14}\)
∴ the equation of normal at M (1, 2) is
y – 2 = \(\frac{-13}{14}\) (x – 1)
14y – 28 = -13x + 13
13x + 14y – 41 = 0
Hence, the equations of tangent and normal are 14x – 13y + 12 = 0 and 13x + 14y – 41 = 0 respectively.

Solution:
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q4
Let r be the radius of the base, h be the height and V be the volume of the water level at any time t.
Since, the height of the cone is 8 feet and the radius is 4 feet,
\(\frac{r}{h}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}\)
r = \(\frac{h}{2}\) ……..(1)
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q4.1
Hence, the rate of change of water level is \(\left(\frac{2}{9 \pi}\right)\) ft/sec.

Question 6.
Verify Rolle’s theorem for the function f(x) = \(\frac{2}{e^{x}+e^{-x}}\) on [-1, 1].
Solution:
The functions ex, e-x, and 2 are continuous and differentiable in their respective domains.
∴ f(x) = \(\frac{2}{e^{x}+e^{-x}}\) is continuous on [-1, 1] and differentiable on (-1, 1), because ex + e-x ≠ 0 for all x ∈ [-1, 1].
Now, f(-1) = \(\frac{2}{e^{-1}+e}=\frac{2}{e+e^{-1}}\) and f(1) = \(\frac{2}{e+e^{-1}}\)
∴ f(-1) = f(1)
Thus, the function f satisfies all the conditions of the Rolle’s theorem.
∴ there exist c ∈ (-1, 1) such that f'(c) = 0
Now, f(x) = \(\frac{2}{e^{x}+e^{-x}}\)
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q6
Hence, Rolle’s theorem is verified.

Question 7.
The position of a particle is given by the function s(t) = 2t2 + 3t – 4. Find the time t = c in the interval 0 ≤ f ≤ 4 when the instantaneous velocity of the particle is equal to its average velocity in this interval.
Solution:
s(t) = 2t2 + 3t – 4
∴ s(0) = 2(0)2 + 3(0) – 4 = -4
and s(4) = 2(4)2 + 3(4) – 4 = 32 + 12 – 4 = 40
∴ average velocity = \(\frac{s(4)-s(0)}{4-0}\)
= \(\frac{40-(-4)}{4}\)
= 11
Also, instantaneous velocity = \(\frac{d s}{d t}\)
= \(\frac{d}{d t}\) (2t2 + 3t – 4)
= 2 × 2t + 3 × 1 – 0
= 4t + 3
∴ instantaneous velocity at t = c is \(\left(\frac{d s}{d t}\right)_{t=c}\) = 4c + 3
When instantaneous velocity at t = c equal to its average velocity, we get
4c + 3 = 11
4c = 8
∴ c = 2 ∈ [0, 4]
Hence, t = c = 2.

Question 9.
Find the approximate value of cos-1(0.51), given π = 3.1416, \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\) = 1.1547.
Solution:
Let f(x) = cos-1 x
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q9
The formula for approximation is f(a + h)= f(a) + h . f'(a)
∴ cos-1 (0.51) = f(0.51)
= f(0.5 + 0.01)
= f(0.5) + (0.01) f'(0.5)
= \(\frac{\pi}{3}\) + 0.01 × (-1.1547)
= \(\frac{3.1416}{3}\) – 0.011547
= 1.0472 – 0.011547
= 1.035653
∴ cos-1 (0.51) = 1.035653.

Question 10.
Find the intervals on which the function y = xx, (x > 0) is increasing and decreasing.
Solution:
y = xx
∴ log y = log xx = x log x
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q10
y is increasing if \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) ≥ 0
i.e. if xx (1 + log x) ≥ 0
i.e. if 1 + log x ≥ 0 ……[∵ x > 0]
i.e. if log x ≥ -1
i.e. if log x ≥ -log e …….[∵ log e = 1]
i.e. if logx ≥ log \(\frac{1}{e}\)
i.e. if x ≥ \(\frac{1}{e}\)
∴ y is increasing in \(\left[\frac{1}{e^{\prime}}, \infty\right)\)
y is decreasing if \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) ≤ 0
i.e. if xx (1 + log x) ≤ 0
i.e. if 1 + log x ≤ 0 ……[∵ x > 0]
i.e. if log x ≤ -1
i.e. if log x ≤ -log e
i.e. if log x ≤ log \(\frac{1}{e}\)
i.e. if x ≤ \(\frac{1}{e}\) where x > 0
∴ y is decreasing is \(\left(0, \frac{1}{e}\right]\)
Hence, the given function is increasing in \(\left[\frac{1}{e^{\prime}}, \infty\right)\) and decreasing in \(\left(0, \frac{1}{e}\right]\)

Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2

Question 11.
Find the intervals on which the function f(x) = \(\frac{x}{\log x}\) is increasing and decreasing.
Solution:
f(x) = \(\frac{x}{\log x}\)
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q11
f is increasing if f'(x) ≥ 0
i.e. if \(\frac{\log x-1}{(\log x)^{2}}\) ≥ 0
i.e. if log x – 1 ≥ 0 ……..[∵ (log x)2 > 0]
i.e. if log x ≥ 1
i.e. if log x ≥ log e ………[∵ log e = 1]
i.e. if x ≥ e
∴ f is increasing on [e, ∞)
f is decreasing if f'(x) ≤ 0
i.e. if \(\frac{\log x-1}{(\log x)^{2}}\) ≤ 0
i.e. if log x – 1 ≤ 0 ……..[∵ (log x)2 > 0]
i.e. if log x ≤ 1
i.e. if log x ≤ log e
i.e. if x ≤ e
Also, x > 0 and x ≠ 1 because f(x) = \(\frac{x}{\log x}\) is not defined at x = 1.
∴ f is decreasing in (0, e] – {1}
Hence, f is increasing in [e, ∞) and decreasing in (0, e] – {1}.

Solution:
Let x be the side of square base and h be the height of the box.
Then x2 + 4xh = a2
∴ h = \(\frac{a^{2}-x^{2}}{4 x}\) …….(1)
Let V be the volume of the box.
Then V = x2h
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q12
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q12.1

Question 13.
Show that of all rectangles inscribed in a given circle, the square has the maximum area.
Solution:
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q13
Let ABCD be a rectangle inscribed in a circle of radius r.
Let AB = x and BC = y.
Then x2 + y2 = 4r2 …….(1)
Area of rectangle = xy
= \(x \sqrt{4 r^{2}-x^{2}}\) ……[By (1)]
Let f(x) = x2(4r2 – x2)
= 4r2x2 – x4
∴ f'(x) = \(\frac{d}{d x}\) (4r2x2 – x4)
= 4r2 × 2x – 4x3
= 8r2x – 4x3
and f”(x) = \(\frac{d}{d x}\) (8r2x – 4x3)
= 8r2 × 1 – 4 × 3x2
= 8r2 – 12x2
For maximum area, f'(x) = 0
⇒ 8r2x – 4x3 = 0
⇒ 4x3 = 8r2x
⇒ x2 = 2r2 ……..[∵ x ≠ 0]
⇒ x = √2r …..[x > 0]
and f”(√2r) = 8r2 – 12(√2r)2 = -16r2 < 0
∴ f(x) is maximum when x = √2r
If x = √2r, then from (1),
(√2r)2 + y2 = 4r2
⇒ y2 = 4r2 – 2r2 = 2r2
⇒ y = √2r ……[∵ y > 0]
⇒ x = y
∴ rectangle is a square.
Hence, amongst all rectangles inscribed in a circle, the square has maximum area.

Solution:
Let r be the radius of the base, h be the height and V be the volume of the closed right circular cylinder, whose surface area is a2 sq units (which is given).
2πrh + 2πr2 = a2
⇒ 2πr(h + r) = a2
⇒ h = \(\frac{a^{2}}{2 \pi r}\) – r ……(1)
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q14
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q14.1

Solution:
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q15
Let x be the length, y be the breadth of the rectangle and r be the radius of the semicircle.
Then perimeter of the window = x + 2y + πr, where x = 2r
This is given to be 30 m
⇒ 2r + 2y + πr = 30
⇒ 2y = 30 – (π + 2)r
⇒ y = 15 – \(\frac{(\pi+2) r}{2}\) ……..(1)
The greatest possible amount of light may be admitted if the area of the window is maximized.
Let A be the area of the window.
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q15.1
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q15.2
Hence, the required dimensions of the window are as follows:
Length of rectangle = \(\left(\frac{60}{\pi+4}\right)\) metres
breadth of rectangle = \(\left(\frac{30}{\pi+4}\right)\) metres
radius of the semicircle = \(\left(\frac{30}{\pi+4}\right)\) metres

Let R be the radius of the base and H be the height of the right circular cylinder that can be inscribed in the right circular cone.
In the figure, ∠GAO = α, OG = r, OA = h, OE = R, CE = H.
We have, \(\frac{r}{h}\) = tan α
∴ r = h tan α ……(1)

Question 17.
A wire of length l is cut into two parts. One part is bent into a circle and the other into a square. Show that the sum of the areas of the circle and the square is the least if the radius of the circle is half of the side of the square.
Solution:
Let r be the radius of the circle and x be the length of the side of the square. Then
(circumference of the circle) + (perimeter of the square) = l
∴ 2πr + 4x = l
∴ r = \(\frac{l-4 x}{2 \pi}\)
A = (area of the circle) + (area of the square)
= πr2 + x2
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q17
This shows that the sum of the areas of circle and square is least when the radius of the circle = (\(\frac{1}{2}\)) side of the square.

Question 18.
A rectangular sheet of paper of fixed perimeter with the sides having their lengths in the ratio 8 : 15 converted into an open rectangular box by folding after removing the squares of the equal area from all comers. If the total area of the removed squares is 100, the resulting box has maximum volume. Find the lengths of the rectangular sheet of paper.
Solution:
Maharashtra Board 12th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Applications of Derivatives Miscellaneous Exercise 2 II Q18
The sides of the rectangular sheet of paper are in the ratio 8 : 15.
Let the sides of the rectangular sheet of paper be 8k and 15k respectively.
Let x be the side of the square which is removed from the comers of the sheet of paper.
The total area of removed squares is 4x2, which is given to be 100.
4x2 = 100
⇒ x2 = 25
⇒x = 5 ……[x > 0]
Now, the length, breadth, and height of the rectangular box are 15k – 2x, 8k – 2x, and x respectively.
Let V be the volume of the box.
Then V = (15k – 2x) (8k – 2x) . x
⇒ V = (120k2 – 16kx – 30kx + 4x2) . x
⇒ V = 4x3 – 46kx2 + 120k2x
\(\frac{d V}{d x}=\frac{d}{d x}\) (4x3 – 46kx2 + 120k2x)
= 4 × 3x2 – 46k × 2x + 120k2 × 1
= 12x2 – 92kx + 120k2
Since, volume is maximum when the square of side x = 5 is removed from the corners,
\(\left(\frac{d V}{d x}\right)_{\text {at } x=5}=0\)
⇒ 12(5)2 – 92k(5) + 120k2 = 0
⇒ 60 – 92k + 24k2 = 0
⇒ 6k2 – 23k + 15 = 0
⇒ 6k2 – 18k – 5k + 15 = 0
⇒ 6k(k – 3) – 5 (k – 3) = 0
⇒ (k – 3)(6k – 5) = 0
⇒ k = 3 or k = \(\frac{5}{6}\)
If k = \(\frac{5}{6}\), then
8k – 2x = 8k – 10 < 0
∴ k ≠ \(\frac{5}{6}\)
∴ k = 3
∴ 8k = 8 × 3 = 24 and 15k = 15 × 3 = 45
Hence, the lengths of the rectangular sheet are 24 and 45.

Let x be the radius of the base and h be the height of the cone which is inscribed in a sphere of radius r.
In the figure, AD = h and CD = x = BD
Since, ΔABD and ΔBDE are similar,
\(\frac{\mathrm{AD}}{\mathrm{BD}}=\frac{\mathrm{BD}}{\mathrm{DE}}\)
BD2 = AD . DE = AD (AE – AD)
x2 = h(2r – h) …… (1)
Let V be the volume of the cone.

∴ V is maximum when h = \(\frac{4 r}{3}\)
Hence, the altitude (i.e. height) of the right circular cone of maximum volume = \(\frac{4 r}{3}\).

Question 20.
Show that the height of the cylinder of maximum volume that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius R is \(\frac{2 R}{\sqrt{3}}\). Also, find the maximum Volume.
Solution:
Let R be the radius and h be the height of the cylinder which is inscribed in a sphere of radius r cm.
Then from the figure,
\(R^{2}+\left(\frac{h}{2}\right)^{2}=r^{2}\)
∴ R2 = r2 – \(\frac{h^{2}}{4}\) ………(1)
Let V be the volume of the cylinder.
Then V = πR2h

Question 21.
Find the maximum and minimum values of the function f(x) = cos2x + sin x.
Solution:
f(x) = cos2x + sin x
∴ f'(x) = \(\frac{d}{d x}\) (cos2x + sin x)
= 2 cos x . \(\frac{d}{d x}\) (cos x) + cos x
= 2 cos x(-sin x) + cos x
= -sin 2x + cos x
and f”(x) = \(\frac{d}{d x}\) (-sin 2x + cos x)
= -cos 2x . \(\frac{d}{d x}\) (2x) – sin x
= -cos 2x × 2 – sin x
= -2 cos 2x – sin x
For extreme values of f(x), f'(x) = 0
-sin 2x + cos x = 0
-2 sin x cos x + cos x = 0
cos x (-2 sin x + 1) = 0
cos x = 0 or -2 sin x + 1 = 0
cos x = cos \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) or sin x = \(\frac{1}{2}\) = sin \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) or x = \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)

(i) f”(\(\frac{\pi}{2}\)) = -2 cos π – sin \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
= -2(-1) – 1
= 1 > 0
∴ by the second derivative test, f is minimum at x = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) and minimum value of f at x = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
= f(\(\frac{\pi}{2}\))
= \(\cos ^{2} \frac{\pi}{2}+\sin \frac{\pi}{2}\)
= 0 + 1
= 1

(ii) f”(\(\frac{\pi}{6}\)) = \(-2 \cos \frac{\pi}{3}-\sin \frac{\pi}{6}\)
= \(-2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)-\frac{1}{2}\)
= \(-\frac{3}{2}\) < 0
∴ by the second derivative test, f is maximum at x = \(\frac{\pi}{6}\) and maximum value of f at x = \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
= f(\(\frac{\pi}{6}\))
= \(\cos ^{2} \frac{\pi}{6}+\sin \frac{\pi}{6}\)
= \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\)
= \(\frac{5}{4}\)
Hence, the maximum and minimum values of the function f(x) are \(\frac{5}{4}\) and 1 respectively.
