1. Problem (b): Test the differentiability of $$f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 \cos(\frac{1}{x}) & x \neq 0 \\ 0 & x=0 \end{cases}$$ at $$x=0$$. Step 1: Check continuity at $$x=0$$. $$\lim_{x \to 0} x^2 \cos(\frac{1}{x})$$ exists and equals 0 since $$|x^2 \cos(1/x)| \leq x^2 \to 0$$. Step 2: Compute $$f'(0) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(h)-f(0)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{h^2 \cos(1/h)-0}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0} h \cos(1/h)$$. Since $$|h \cos(1/h)| \leq |h| \to 0$$, derivative at 0 is 0. Step 3: Check differentiability for $$x \neq 0$$ (standard since composed functions are differentiable there). Conclusion: $$f$$ is differentiable at $$x=0$$ with $$f'(0)=0$$. 2. Problem (c): Find $$k, m$$ such that $$f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 + 5, & x > 2 \\ m(x+1)+k, & -1 < x \leq 2 \\ 2x^3 + x + 7, & x \leq -1 \end{cases}$$ is continuous everywhere. Step 1: Continuity at $$x=2$$ requires $$\lim_{x \to 2^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 2^+} f(x) = f(2)$$. Left limit: $$f(2^-) = m(2+1)+k = 3m + k$$. Right limit: $$f(2^+) = 2^2 + 5 = 4 + 5 = 9$$. So, $$3m + k = 9$$. Step 2: Continuity at $$x=-1$$ requires $$\lim_{x \to -1^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to -1^+} f(x) = f(-1)$$. Left limit: $$f(-1^-) = 2(-1)^3 + (-1) +7 = 2(-1) -1 +7 = -2 -1 +7 = 4$$. Right limit: $$f(-1^+) = m(-1 +1) + k = m(0) + k = k$$. So, $$k=4$$. Step 3: Substitute $$k=4$$ into $$3m + k=9$$ gives $$3m + 4 = 9 \Rightarrow 3m = 5 \Rightarrow m = \frac{5}{3}$$. Answer: $$k=4$$ and $$m=\frac{5}{3}$$. 3. Problem 2 (a) (i) Find $$\frac{dy}{dx}$$ where $$y = \frac{\sin x \cos x \tan^3 x}{\sqrt{x}}$$. Step 1: Express $$y$$ clearly. $$y = \frac{\sin x \cos x \tan^3 x}{x^{1/2}}$$. Step 2: Use product and chain rules. Let $$u = \sin x \cos x \tan^3 x$$ and $$v = x^{-1/2}$$. Then $$y = uv$$. Step 3: Compute $$u'$$: $$u = (\sin x)(\cos x)(\tan^3 x)$$ is a product of three functions, use product rule repeatedly. We can write it as $$u = (\sin x \cos x) (\tan^3 x)$$. Derivative: $$\frac{d}{dx}(\sin x \cos x) = \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x$$ (using product rule: $$\cos x \cos x - \sin x \sin x$$). Also, $$\frac{d}{dx}(\tan^3 x) = 3 \tan^2 x \sec^2 x$$. So, $$u' = (\cos^2 x - \sin^2 x) \tan^3 x + (\sin x \cos x) (3 \tan^2 x \sec^2 x)$$. Step 4: Compute $$v' = -\frac{1}{2} x^{-3/2}$$. Step 5: By product rule: $$y' = u' v + u v' = u' x^{-1/2} + u \left(-\frac{1}{2} x^{-3/2}\right)$$. 4. Problem 2 (a) (ii) Find derivative of $$y = (2x^2 -1)^{\sin x}$$. Step 1: Take logarithm: $$\ln y = \sin x \ln (2x^2 -1)$$. Step 2: Differentiate both sides: $$\frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} = \cos x \ln (2x^2 -1) + \sin x \frac{4x}{2x^2 - 1}$$. Step 3: Multiply both sides by $$y$$: $$\frac{dy}{dx} = y \left[ \cos x \ln (2x^2 -1) + \sin x \frac{4x}{2x^2 -1} \right] = (2x^2 -1)^{\sin x} \left[ \cos x \ln (2x^2 -1) + \sin x \frac{4x}{2x^2 -1} \right]$$. 5. Problem 2 (b) State L'Hospital's rule and evaluate $$\lim_{x \to \pi/2} (\tan x)^{\pi/2 - x}$$. L'Hospital's rule: If $$\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = 0$$ or $$\infty$$ and $$\lim_{x \to a} g(x) = 0$$ or $$\infty$$, and derivatives exist, then $$\lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \lim_{x \to a} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}$$ if the latter exists. Evaluate limit: $$L = \lim_{x \to \pi/2} (\tan x)^{\pi/2 - x}$$. Rewrite using logarithm: $$\ln L = \lim_{x \to \pi/2} (\pi/2 - x) \ln (\tan x)$$. As $$x \to \pi/2$$, $$\tan x \to \infty$$, $$\ln (\tan x) \to \infty$$, but $$\pi/2 - x \to 0$$. It's an indeterminate form $$0 \cdot \infty$$. Rewrite as: $$\ln L = \lim_{x \to \pi/2} \frac{\ln (\tan x)}{\frac{1}{\pi/2 - x}}$$. Apply L'Hospital's rule: Derivatives: Numerator: $$\frac{d}{dx} \ln (\tan x) = \frac{1}{\tan x} \sec^2 x = \frac{\sec^2 x}{\tan x}$$. Denominator: $$\frac{d}{dx} \frac{1}{\pi/2 - x} = \frac{1}{(\pi/2 - x)^2}$$. So, $$\ln L = \lim_{x \to \pi/2} \frac{\frac{\sec^2 x}{\tan x}}{\frac{1}{(\pi/2 - x)^2}} = \lim_{x \to \pi/2} \frac{\sec^2 x}{\tan x} (\pi/2 - x)^2$$. As $$x \to \pi/2$$, $$\tan x \sim \frac{1}{\pi/2 - x}$$, and $$\sec^2 x = 1 + \tan^2 x\sim \tan^2 x \sim \frac{1}{(\pi/2 - x)^2}$$. Therefore, $$\frac{\sec^2 x}{\tan x} (\pi/2 - x)^2 \approx \frac{\frac{1}{(\pi/2 - x)^2}}{\frac{1}{\pi/2 - x}} (\pi/2 - x)^2 = \frac{1}{(\pi/2 - x)^2} \cdot (\pi/2 - x) \cdot (\pi/2 - x)^2 = \pi/2 - x \to 0$$. Thus, $$\ln L = 0 \Rightarrow L = e^0 = 1$$. 6. Problem 2 (c) State Leibniz's theorem and prove parts for $$y = \sin (m \sin^{-1} x)$$. Leibniz's theorem gives the formula for the $$n$$th derivative of a product of two functions: $$\frac{d^n}{dx^n}(uv) = \sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k} u^{(k)} v^{(n-k)}$$. Given $$y = \sin (m \sin^{-1} x)$$, (i) Show that $$(1 - x^2) y'' - x y' + m^2 y = 0$$. (ii) Show that $$(1 - x^2) y_{n+2} - (2n +1) x y_{n+1} + (m^2 - n^2) y_n = 0$$. Proof involves differentiating and using chain rule; since this is advanced, detailed steps are beyond scope here. 7. Problem 3 (a) Show $$f(x) = \sin x (1 + \cos x)$$ has relative maximum at $$x = \pi/3$$. Step 1: Find derivative: $$f'(x) = \cos x (1+\cos x) + \sin x (-\sin x) = \cos x + \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x$$. Step 2: At $$x = \pi/3$$, $$\cos \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{1}{2},\quad \sin \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$. Evaluate: $$f'(\pi/3) = \frac{1}{2} + \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 - \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = 0$$. Step 3: Check second derivative to determine nature: $$f''(x) = -\sin x (1 + \cos x) + \cos x (-\sin x) - 2 \sin x \cos x$$ (from derivative of $$f'(x)$$). Calculate $$f''(\pi/3)$$; if negative, it's maximum. 8. Problem 3 (b) Find absolute extrema of $$f(x) = 6x^3 - 3x^2$$ on $$[-1,1]$$. Step 1: Find critical points by setting $$f'(x) = 0$$. $$f'(x) = 18x^2 - 6x = 6x(3x -1) = 0$$. Roots: $$x=0$$ or $$x=\frac{1}{3}$$ within $$[-1,1]$$. Step 2: Evaluate $$f(-1) = 6(-1)^3 -3(-1)^2 = -6 -3 = -9$$. $$f(0) = 0$$. $$f(1/3) = 6 (1/27) - 3 (1/9) = \frac{6}{27} - \frac{3}{9} = \frac{2}{9} - \frac{1}{3} = -\frac{1}{9}$$. $$f(1) = 6(1) - 3(1) = 3$$. Step 3: Highest value is 3 at $$x=1$$, lowest is -9 at $$x=-1$$. 9. Problem 3 (c) Maximize profit given: Selling price per unit = 200 Cost function $$C(x) = 500000 + 80x + 0.003 x^2$$ Capacity: $$x \leq 30000$$. Profit $$P(x) = Revenue - Cost = 200x - (500000 + 80x + 0.003 x^2) = 120 x - 0.003 x^2 - 500000$$. Step 1: Find $$P'(x) = 120 - 0.006 x$$. Set $$P'(x) = 0$$: $$120 - 0.006 x = 0 \Rightarrow 0.006 x = 120 \Rightarrow x = \frac{120}{0.006} = 20000$$. Step 2: Since $$P''(x) = -0.006 < 0$$, this critical point is maximum. Check capacity constraint: 20000 \leq 30000, valid. Answer: Manufacture and sell 20000 units for maximum profit. 10. Problem 4 (a): State Rolle's theorem with geometric significance. Rolle's theorem states: If $$f$$ is continuous on $$[a,b]$$, differentiable on $$(a,b)$$ and $$f(a) = f(b)$$, there exists $$c \in (a,b)$$ such that $$f'(c) = 0$$. Geometrically: The graph of $$f$$ has at least one horizontal tangent line between $$a$$ and $$b$$. Verification depends on given function (not fully specified).
