   Q.Find: d/dx (sin x cos x + 5x + 3)

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Rewrite sin x cos x as (1/2)sin 2x before differentiating, then differentiate term by term.

   Use the identity $\sin x\cos x = \dfrac12\sin 2x$:

   $f(x) = \frac12\sin2x + 5x + 3$

   Differentiate term by term:

   $f'(x) = \frac12\cdot2\cos2x + 5 + 0 = \cos2x + 5$

   Q.Assertion (A): The derivative of a constant function is zero. Reason (R): A constant function does not change, hence its rate of change is zero.

   (a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

   (b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

   (c) Assertion (A) is correct, but Reason (R) is incorrect.

   (d) Assertion (A) is incorrect, but Reason (R) is correct.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Both statements are true, and (R) correctly explains why (A) holds: a constant function's value never changes, so its derivative (rate of change) is zero.

   Assertion (A): For $f(x)=c$ (a constant), $f'(x) = \lim_{h\to0}\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} = \lim_{h\to0}\dfrac{c-c}{h} = \lim_{h\to0} 0 = 0$. So (A) is TRUE.

   Q.Write derivative of $\cos x$.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   $\dfrac{d}{dx}\cos x = -\sin x$, a standard derivative result.

   By first principles, $\dfrac{d}{dx}\cos x = \lim_{h\to0}\dfrac{\cos(x+h)-\cos x}{h}$. Using $\cos(x+h)-\cos x = -2\sin\left(x+\tfrac{h}{2}\right)\sin\tfrac{h}{2}$, …

   Q.if $y = \log\left(\frac{e^x}{x^2}\right)$ then $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = ______.

   (a) $\frac{2 - x}{x}$

   (b) $\frac{x - 2}{x}$

   (c) $\frac{e - x}{e^x}$

   (d) $\frac{x - e}{ex}$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Expand $\log\!\left(\dfrac{e^x}{x^2}\right)$ with log rules to get $x - 2\log x$, then differentiate; the answer is $\dfrac{x-2}{x}$ — option (ii).

   Simplify using $\log\dfrac{A}{B} = \log A - \log B$ and $\log e^x = x$:

   $y = \log\!\left(\frac{e^x}{x^2}\right) = \log e^x - \log x^2 = x - 2\log x.$

   Q.If $y = e^{ax}$, then $x \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}$ = ______.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=a e^{ax}$, so $x\cdot\dfrac{dy}{dx}=ax\,e^{ax}=axy$.

   Differentiate $y = e^{ax}$ using $\dfrac{d}{dx}(e^{ax}) = a e^{ax}$:

   $\frac{dy}{dx} = a e^{ax}.$

   Multiply by $x$:

   $x\cdot\frac{dy}{dx} = x\cdot a e^{ax} = ax\,e^{ax}.$
