Differential Calculus

 

 

Continuous Function

A function f(x) is said to be continuous at x = a if

f(a) exist is function must exist at x = a

 

Differentiation

Let y = f(x) be any function A function f(x) is said to be differentiable at x = a if

is exist and it is denoted by

Note:-

A differentiable function is always continuous but converse need not be true.

 


If

f(x) is continuous in the closed [a, b]

f(x) is differentiable in (a, b) &

f(a) = f(b)

Then there exist at least one value ‘c’ in (a, b) such that f’(c) = 0.

 

Q1)Verify Rolle’s theorem for the function f(x) = x2 for

S1)

Here f(x) = x2;

Since f(x) is algebraic polynomial which is continuous in [-1, 1]

Consider f(x) = x2

a)     Diff. w.r.t. x we get

b)    f'(x) = 2x

Clearly f’(x) exist in (-1, 1) and does not becomes infinite.

Clearly

f(-1) = (-1)2 = 1

f(1) = (1)2 = 1

f(-1) = f(1).

Hence by Rolle’s theorem, there exist such that

f’(c) = 0

i.e. 2c = 0

c = 0

Thus such that

f'(c) = 0

Hence Rolle’s Theorem is verified.

 

 

Q2) Verify Rolle’s Theorem for the function f(x) = ex(sin x – cos x) in

S2)

Here f(x) = ex(sin x – cos x);

Clearly ex is an exponential function continuous for every also sin x and cos x are Trigonometric functions Hence (sin x – cos x) is continuous in and Hence ex(sin x – cos x) is continuous in .

Consider

f(x) = ex(sin x – cos x)

diff. w.r.t. x we get

f’(x) = ex(cos x + sin x) + ex(sin x + cos x)

    = ex[2sin x]

Clearly f’(x) is exist for each & f’(x) is not infinite.

Hence f(x) is differentiable in .

Consider

Also,

Thus

Hence all the conditions of Rolle’s theorem are satisfied, so there exist such, that

i.e.

i.e. sin c = 0

But

Hence Rolle’s theorem is verified.

 

Q3) Verify whether Rolle’s theorem is applicable or not for

S3)

Here f(x) = x2;

Clearly x2 is an algebraic polynomial hence it is continuous in [2, 3]

Consider

Clearly f’(x) is exist for each

Consider

Thus .

Thus all conditions of Rolle’s theorem are not satisfied Hence Rolle’s theorem is not applicable for f(x) = x2 in [2, 3]

Hence by LMVT, such that

i.e.       … (1)

Cast I:

Thus for x2 > x1

Thus f(x) is increasing function is (a, b)

Case III:
