MA25C01 – Applied Calculus

PART A – Step-by-Step Answers


1. Find the critical value, f(x) = 5x³ − 6x.
Formula: Critical points occur when f'(x) = 0.
Solution: f'(x) = 15x² − 6 = 0 ⇒ 15x² = 6 ⇒ x² = 2/5 ⇒ x = ±√(2/5).
Critical values: x = ±√(2/5).

2. Find the derivative of x■ + 3x² − 25.


Formula: d/dx(x■) = n·x■■¹.
Solution: d/dx(x■ + 3x² − 25) = 4x³ + 6x.
Answer: 4x³ + 6x.

3. Find the domain of f(x) = (2x² − 5)/(x² + x − 6).


Denominator ≠ 0 → x² + x − 6 = 0 → (x + 3)(x − 2) = 0 → x ≠ −3, 2.
Domain: ■ − {−3, 2}.

4. Where is f(x) = |x| differentiable?


|x| is differentiable for all x ≠ 0.
Not differentiable at x = 0.

5. If x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ, find ∂x/∂r and ∂y/∂θ.


∂x/∂r = cos θ, ∂y/∂θ = r cos θ.
Answers: ∂x/∂r = cos θ, ∂y/∂θ = r cos θ.

6. If u = y²/x, v = x²/y, find ∂(u,v)/∂(x,y).


Jacobian J = |∂u/∂x ∂u/∂y; ∂v/∂x ∂v/∂y|.
∂u/∂x = −y²/x², ∂u/∂y = 2y/x; ∂v/∂x = 2x/y, ∂v/∂y = −x²/y².
J = (−y²/x²)(−x²/y²) − (2y/x)(2x/y) = 1 − 4 = −3.
Answer: Jacobian = −3.

7. Find derivative of (1 − x²)¹■.


Using chain rule: d/dx[(1 − x²)¹■] = 10(1 − x²)■·(−2x) = −20x(1 − x²)■.
Answer: −20x(1 − x²)■.

8. Find the critical value of f(x) = 2x³ − 3x² − 36x.


f'(x) = 6x² − 6x − 36 = 6(x² − x − 6) = 6(x − 3)(x + 2).
Critical points: x = 3, −2.
Critical values: x = −2, 3.

9. Use squeeze theorem to show lim■→0 (x³ + x² sin πx) = 0.


|x² sin πx| ≤ |x²| → 0 as x→0 ⇒ limit = 0.
Answer: 0.
10. Evaluate lim■→−2 (x + 2)/(x³ + 8).
x³ + 8 = (x + 2)(x² − 2x + 4). Cancel (x + 2).
Limit = 1/(x² − 2x + 4) at x = −2 ⇒ 1/(4 + 4 + 4) = 1/12.
Answer: 1/12.

11. If x = u(1 + v), y = v(1 + u), find ∂(x,y)/∂(u,v).


∂x/∂u = 1 + v, ∂x/∂v = u; ∂y/∂u = v, ∂y/∂v = 1 + u.
Jacobian = (1 + v)(1 + u) − uv = 1 + u + v.
Answer: 1 + u + v.

12. If u = y²/(2x), v = (x² + y²)/(2x), find ∂(u,v)/∂(x,y).


∂u/∂x = −y²/(2x²), ∂u/∂y = y/x; ∂v/∂x = 1 − y²/(2x²), ∂v/∂y = y/x.
J = (−y²/(2x²))(y/x) − (y/x)(1 − y²/(2x²)) = −y/x.
Answer: −y/x.

13. Find lim■→0 (tan x − x)/x².


Use series: tan x ≈ x + x³/3 → numerator ≈ x³/3 ⇒ (x³/3)/x² = x/3 → 0.
Answer: 0.

14. Evaluate lim■→5 (2x² − 3x + 4).


Substitute directly: 2(25) − 15 + 4 = 39.
Answer: 39.

15. Compute d/dx (x sin x).


Using product rule: d/dx(x sin x) = sin x + x cos x.
Answer: sin x + x cos x.
