Question 5 Maharashtra Board Solution
Suppose f(x) is the derivative of g(x) and g(x) is the derivative of h(x). If h(x) = a sin x + b cos x + c, then f(x) + h(x) = (A) 0 (B) c (C) -c (D) -2(a sin x + b cos x)
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
(B) c Hint: h(x) = a sin x + b cos x + c Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get h'(x) = a cos x – b sin x = g(x) …..[given] Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get g'(x) = -a sin x – b cos x = f(x) …..[given] ∴ f(x) + h(x) = -a sin x – b cos x + a sin x + b cos x + c ∴ f(x) + h(x) = c
Question 6 Maharashtra Board Solution
If f(x) = 2x + 6, for 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 = ax2 + bx, for 2 < x ≤ 4 is differentiable at x = 2, then the values of a and b are (A) a = , b = 3 (B) a = , b = 8 (C) a = , b = 8 (D) a = , b = 8
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
(D) a = , b = 8 Hint: f(x) = 2x + 6, 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 = ax2 + bx, 2 < x ≤ 4 Lf'(2) = 2, Rf'(2) = 4a + b Since f is differentiable at x = 2, Lf'(2) = Rf'(2) ∴ 2 = 4a + b …..(i) f is continuous at x = 2. ∴ ∴ 4a + 2b = 2(2) + 6 ∴ 4a + 2b = 10 ∴ 2a + b = 5 …..(ii) Solving (i) and (ii), we get a = , b = 8
Question 7 Maharashtra Board Solution

Question 1 Maharashtra Board Solution
Determine whether the following function is differentiable at x = 3 where, f(x) = x2 + 2, for x ≥ 3 = 6x – 7, for x < 3.
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
f(x) = x2 + 2, x ≥ 3 = 6x – 7, x < 3 Differentiability at x = 3 Here, Lf'(3) = Rf'(3) ∴ f is differentiable at x = 3.

Question 2 Maharashtra Board Solution
Find the values of p and q that make function f(x) differentiable everywhere on R. f(x) = 3 – x, for x < 1 = px2 + qx, for x ≥ 1.
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
f(x) is differentiable everywhere on R. ∴ f(x) is differentiable at x = 1. ∴ f(x) is continuous at x = 1. f(x) is differentiable at x = 1. ∴ Lf'(1) = Rf'(1) ∴ -1 = 2p + q …..(ii) Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get p = -3 Substituting p = -3 in (i), we get p + q = 2 ∴ -3 + q = 2 ∴ q = 5

Question 3 Maharashtra Board Solution
Determine the values of p and q that make the function f(x) differentiable on R where f(x) = px3, for x < 2 = x2 + q, for x ≥ 2
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
f(x) is differentiable on R. ∴ f(x) is differentiable at x = 2. ∴ f(x) is continuous at x = 2. Continuity at x = 2: f(x) is continuous at x = 2. f(x) is differentiable at x = 2. ∴ Lf'(2) = Rf'(2) ∴ 12p = 4 ∴ p = Substituting p = in (i), we get 8( – q = 4 ∴ q = – 4 =

Question 4 Maharashtra Board Solution
Determine all real values of p and q that ensure the function f(x) = px + q, for x ≤ 1 = tan(), for 1 < x < 2 is differentiable at x = 1.
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
f(x) is differentiable at x = 1. ∴ f(x) is continuous at x = 1. Continuity at x= 1: f(x) is continuous at x = 1.

Question 5 Maharashtra Board Solution
Discuss whether the function f(x) = |x + 1| + |x – 1| is differentiable ∀ x ∈ R.
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
Here, Lf'(1) ≠ Rf'(1) ∴ f is not differentiable at x = 1. ∴ f is not differentiable at x = -1 and x = 1. ∴ f is not differentiable ∀ x ∈ R.
