Important definitions-
Continuity- suppose that a function f(x) is defined in the interval I , then it is said to be continuous at x=a , if
Differentiability- A function f(x) is said to be differentiable at x=a if
exists where ‘a’ belongs to I
Rolle’s theorem-
Suppose f(x) is a function defined on [a , b] and it satisfies the following conditions
1. f(x) is continuous in [a , b]
2. f(x) is differentiable in (a , b)
3. f(a) = f(b)
Then there exists atleast a point point c ϵ (a , b) , where a<b , such that f’(c) = 0
Proof: suppose y = f(x) is a function and A(a , f(a)) , B(b , f(b)) be two points on the curve f(x) and a,b are two end points. Now conditions for Rolle’s theorem-
1.f(x) is a continuous function in[a , b] , from the figure without breaks in between A&B on y = f(x).
2. f(x) is differentiable in (a , b), because joining A and B we get a line AB.
Slope of the line AB=0 then a point C at P also a tangent at P, or Q,R,S is parallel to x –axis.
Slope of the tangent at P or Q,R, S, will be 0,even the curve y = f(x) decreases or increases, that means f(x) is constant.
Derivative of f(x),
f’(c) = 0
That’s why, f’(c) = 0
3. the slope of the line AB is equal to zero, that means the line AB is parallel to x-axis.
So that, f(a) = f(b)
Example: Verify Rolle’s theorem for the function f(x) = x(x+3) in interval [-3, 0].
Sol. First we will differentiate the given function with respect to x, we get
f’(x) = (x²+3x) + (2x + 3)
=
This shows that f’(x) exists for all x, therefore f(x) is continuous for all x.
Now, f(-3) = 0 and f(0) = 0 , so that f(-3) = f(0).
Here f(x) satisfies all the conditions of Rolle’s theorem,
Then,
f’(x) = 0 , which gives
= 0
We get,
X = 3 and x = -2
Here we can see that clearly -3<-2<0 , therefore there exists -2 ∈ (-3,0) such that
f’(-2) = 0
that means the Rolle’s theorem is true for the given function.
Example: Verify Rolle’s theorem for the given functions below-
1. f(x) = x³ - 6x²+11x-6 in the interval [1,3]
2. f(x) = x²-4x+8 in the interval [1,3]
Sol. (1)
As we know that every polynomial is continuous and differentiable for all points, so that the given function is continuous and differentiable in the interval [1,3]
Also, f(1) = f(3) = 0
Now we find f’(x) = 0
3x² - 12x +11 = 0
We get, x = 2+ and 2 -
Hence both of them lie in (1,3).
Hence the theorem holds good for the given function in interval [1,3]
(2) As we know that every polynomial is continuous and differentiable for all points, so that the given function is continuous and differentiable in the interval [1,3]
Also, f(1) = 1 -4 +8 = 5 and f(3) = 9 – 12 + 8 = 5
Hence f(1) = f(3)
Now the first derivative of the function,
f’(x) = 0
2x – 4 = 0 , gives
X = 2
We can see that 1<2<3, hence there exists 2 between 1 and 3. And f’(2) = 0.
This means that the Rolle’s theorem holds good for the given function and given interval.
Example: Verify the Rolle’s theorem for sin x in the interval []
Sol. Suppose f(x) = sin x
We know that sin x is continuous for all x.
Now , f’(x) = cos x exists for all x in () and
f(0
f(0
thus f(x) satisfies all the conditions of Rolle’s theorem.
Now,
f’(x) = 0 that gives , cos x = 0
x =
here we notice that both intervals lie in (.
there exists, c =
so that, f’(c) = 0
the Rolle’s theorem has been verified.
Lagranges’s mean value theorem-
Suppose that f(x) be a function of x such that,
1. if it is continuous in [a , b]
2. if it is differentiable in (a , b)
Then there atleast exists a value cϵ (a , b)
f’(c) =
Proof:
Lets define a function g(x),
g(x) = f(x) – Ax ………………..(1)
here A is a constant which is to be determined,
so that, g(a) = g(b)
now,
g(a) = f(a) – Aa g(b) = f(b) – Ab so, g(a) = g(b), f(a) – Aa = f(b) – Ab , which gives, A = …………………..(2) |
As right hand side of eq.(1) is continuous in [a,b] , so that g(x) is continuous.
And right hand side of eq.(1) is differential in (a,b) , so that g(x) is differentiable in (a,b).
And g(a) = g(b) , because of the choice of A.
Hence g(x) satisfies all the conditions of Rolle’s theorem.
So that,
There exists a value c such that a<c<b at which g’(c) = 0
Now, differentiate eq. (1) with respect to x, we get
g’(x) = f’(x) – A here we know that, x = c, g’(c) = f’(c) – A as g’(c) = 0, then f’(c) – A =0 so that,, f’(c) = A, from equation (2) , we get f’(c) = hence proved. |
Example: Verify Lagrange’s mean value theorem for f(x) = (x-1)(x-2)(x-3) in [0,4].
Sol. As we see that the given function is a polynomial and we know that the polynomial is continuous in [0,4] and differentiable in (0,4).
f(x) = (x-1)(x-2)(x-3) f(x) = x-6x²+11x-6 now at x = 0, we get f(0) = -6 and at x = 4, we get. f(4) = 6 diff. the function w.r.t.x , we get f’(x) = 3x²-6x+11 suppose x = c, we get f’(c) = 3c²-6c+11 by Lagrange’s mean value theorem, f’(c) = = = = 3 now we get, 3c²-6c+11 = 3 3c²-6c+8 = 0 On solving the quadratic equation, we get C = 2 Here we see that the value of c lies between 0 and 4 Therefore the given function is verified. |
Example: Verify Lagrange’s mean value theorem for f(x) = log xin [1,e].
Sol. We already know that the function which is log x is continuous for all x>0.
So that this is the continuous function In [1,e] Now, f’(x) = 1/x which is exists for all x in (1,e) so that f(x) is differentiable in (1,e). by Lagrange’s mean value theorem, we get f’(c) = , let x = c, then , f’(c) = we get, c = e-1 e-1 will always lies between 1 and e . hence the function is verified by Lagrange’s mean value theorem. |
Cauchy’s mean value theorem-
Suppose we have two functions f(x) and g(x) of x, such that,
1. Both functions are continuous in [a,b]
2. Both functions are differentiable in (a,b)
3. g’(x) ≠ 0 for any x ϵ (a,b)
These three exists atleast , x = c ϵ (a,b) , at which
Proof: suppose ,we define a functions,
h(x) = f(x) – A.g(x) …………………….(1) so that h(a) = h(b) and A is a constant to be determined. Now, h(a) = f(a) – Ag(a) h(b) = f(b) – A.g(b) so that, f(a) – Ag(a) = f(b) – A.g(b) , which gives
A = …………………………….(2) |
Now , h(x) is continuous in [a,b] as RHS of eq. (1) is continuous in [a,b] and h(x) is diff. in (a,b) as RHS of eq. (1) is diff. in (a,b)
Also,
h(a) = h(b)
Therefore all the conditions of Rolle’s theorem are satistfied then there exists a Value x = cϵ (a,b)
so that h’(c) = 0
Differentiate eq.(1) w.r.t. x , we get h’(x) = f’(x) – A.g’(x) At x = c h’(c) = f’(c) – A.g’(c) 0 = f’(c) – A.g’(c) A = So that , we get where a<c<b Hence the Cauchy’s mean value theorem is proved. |
Example: Verify Cauchy’s mean value theorem for the function f(x) = sin x and g(x) = cosx in [ 0 , π/2]
Sol. It is given tha, f(x) = sin x and g(x) = cos x Now, f’(x) = cos x and g’(x) = - sin x We know that both the functions are continuous in [ 0 , π/2] and differentiable in ( 0 , π/2 ) Also,g’(x) = -sin x ≠ 0 for all x ϵ( 0 , π/2 ) By Cauchy’s mean value theorem, we get
for some c: 0< c < That means which gives, Cot c = 1 C = Now we see that lies between 0 and
|
Example: Verify Cauchy’s mean value theorem for the function f(x) = x⁴ and g(x) = x² in the interval [1,2]
Sol. We are given, f(x) = x⁴ and g(x) = x
Derivative of these fucntions ,
f’(x) = 4x³ and g’(x) = 2x
put these values in Cauchy’s formula, we get
2c² =
c² =
c =
now put the values of a = 1 and b = 2 ,we get
c = = = (approx)
Hence the Cauchy’s theorem is verified.

A function f(x) is said to have a minimum value at x = a if there exists a small number ‘h’, such that f(a) < f(a – h) & f(a + h).
And
A function f(x) is said to have a maximum value at x = a if there exists a small number ‘h’, such that f(a) > f(a – h) & f(a + h).
Note- when we take maximum and minimum value together then it is called extreme value.
The points at which the function gets the extreme value are known as turning points.
Step by step procedure to find maxima and minima-
Step-1: find the first derivative of the function f’(x) and put it equals to zero. Now solve the equation and let its roots be a, b, c, etc.
Step-2: find the second derivative f’’(x) and substitute in it by turns x = a, b, c....
If f’’(a) is negative then f(x) is maximum at x = a.
If f’’(a) is positive then f(x) is minimum at x = a.

Key takeaways-
- A function f(x) is said to have a minimum value at x = a if there exists a small number ‘h’, such that f(a) < f(a – h) & f(a + h).
- A function f(x) is said to have a maximum value at x = a if there exists a small number ‘h’, such that f(a) > f(a – h) & f(a + h).

There is wide range of definite integrals such as, from geometric applications to physical world problems.
we will study about these applications one by one-
(1) Area between the curves-
Suppose we want to find out the area between y = f(x) and y = g(x) on interval [a,b] such that f(x) ≥ g(x). see the figure
Let the area between the two curve is A, then A = Let’s do some examples, Example-1: find the area under the curves where f(x) = x+4 and g(x) = 3 – x/2 over the interval [1,4] Sol. Here limits are given a = 1 , b = 4, We know that, area under the curve, A = = = = = (16 – 7/4) = 57/4 So that the area of the region is 57/4 unit square.
Example-2: find the area under the curves where y = x and y = x + 1, x = 2 and y-axis. Sol. When we draw the graph, curve does not meet, but depend on two vertical lines, Here boundary is [0 , 2] Area under the curve, A = |
So that the area under the curve is 3.2092 unit square.
Example-2: Determine the area under the curves y = 2x² + 10 and y = 4x + 16. Sol. Here we will find out the intersection, which are the boundaries of the curve, 2x² + 10 = 4x + 16 2x² - 4x – 6 = 0 2 (x + 1) ( x – 3 ) = 0 We get, x = -1 and x = 3, We know that, Area under the curve, A = (2) Average function value- We can use definite integrals to find out the average value of a function.

Example-1: Find the work done on a spring when we compress it from its natural length of 1m to the 0.75m , if the spring constant k = 16 N / m. Sol. The force is given by, F =16x Here we start to compress it at x = 0 and finish at x= 0.25 from its natural length. So we take lower limit and upper limit 0 and 0.25 respectively. We know that, W = = = 0.5 N.m
Example-2: A force of 1200 N compresses a spring from its natural length of 18 cm to a length of 16 cm. How much work is done in compressing it from 16 cm to 14 cm? Sol. Here, F = kx So that, 1200 = 2k K = 600 N/cm In that case, F = 600x We know that, W = W = , which gives W = 3600 N.cm |

We get the following figure by using above two tables-
Area of shaded region = = = ( 12 – 2 – 8/3 ) – (-18 – 9/2 + 9) = = 125/6 square unit |
Example-2: Determine the area bounded by three straight lines y = 4 – x, y = 3x and 3y = x

To find the intersection points of two functions f(x) and g(x)- f(x) = g(x) On factorizing, we get- x = 6, -2 Now Then, area under the curve- A = |
Therefore the area under the curve is 64/3 square unit. |
Areas and volumes of revolutions

Example-1: Find the area enclosed by the curves and if the area is rotated about the x-axis then determine the volume of the solid of revolution.
Sol. We know that, at the point of intersection the coordinates of the curve are equal. So that first we will find the point of intersection- We get, x = 0 and x = 2 The curve of the given equations will look like as follows- Then, The area of the shaded region will be- A = So that the area will be 8/3 square unit.

Sequence – A function f : N , where S is a non-empty set , is called sequence , for each nϵN. The sequence is written as f(1) , f(2) , f(3) , f(4)……….f(n). Any sequence f(n) can be denoted as <f(n)> or {f(n)} or (f(n)). Suppose f(n) = Then it can be written as - and can be denoted as <>or {} or () is the n’th term of the sequence.
Example: suppose we have a sequence – 1 , 4 , 9 , 16 ,……….. and its n’th term is This sequence can be written as -<> 1 |
Example: its n’th term will be .and can be written as <>
Types of sequences – 1. Finite sequence- A sequence which has finite number of terms is called finite sequence. 2. Infinite sequence- A sequence which is not finite , called infinite sequence.
Limit of a Sequence- A sequence <> is said to tend to limit “l” , when given any positive number ‘ϵ’ , however small , we can always find a integer ‘m’ such that | – l| <ϵ , for every for all, n≥m , and we can define this as follows,
Example: If , then the limit of will be, = = = ½
Hence the limit of the sequence is 1/2 .
Some important limits to remember-
Convergent sequence- A sequence Sn is said to be convergent when it tends to a finite limit. That means the limit of a sequence Sn will be always finite in case of convergent sequence. Divergent sequence- when a sequence tends to ±∞ then it is called divergent sequence. Oscillatory sequence- when a sequence neither converges nor diverges then it is called oscillatory sequence.
Note- a sequence which neither converges nor diverges , is called oscillatory sequence. A sequence converges to zero Is called null.
Example-1: consider a sequence 2, 3/2, 4/3 , 5/4, …….. here Sn = 1 + 1/n Sol. As we can see that the sequence Sn is convergent and has limit 1. According to def. Example-2: consider a sequence Sn= n² + (-1)ⁿ. Sol. Here we can see that, the sequence Sn is divergent as it has infinite limit. |
Example: suppose , here the sequence is said to be oscillate. Because it is between -2 and 2.
Series Infinite series- If is a sequence , then is called the infinite series. It is denoted by . Examples of infinite series-
Covergent series - suppose n→∞ , Sn→ a finite limit ‘s’ , then the seiresSn is said to be convergent . We can denote it as, Divergent series- when Sn tends to infinity then the series is said to be divergent. Oscillatory series- whenSn does not tends to a unique limit (finite or infinite) , then it is called Oscillatory series. Properties of infinite series – 1. the convergence and divergence of an infinite series is unchanged addition od deletion of a finite number of term from it. 2. if positive terms of convergent series change their sign , then the series will be convergent. 3. let converges to s , let k be a non-zero fixed number then converges to ks. 4. let converges to ‘l’ and converges to ‘m’.
