The sum of absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of the function $f(x) = |2{x^2} + 3x - 2| + \sin x\cos x$ in the interval [0, 1] is :
Let $\lambda x - 2y = \mu $ be a tangent to the hyperbola ${a^2}{x^2} - {y^2} = {b^2}$. Then ${\left( {{\lambda \over a}} \right)^2} - {\left( {{\mu \over b}} \right)^2}$ is equal to :
If the tangent to the curve $y=x^{3}-x^{2}+x$ at the point $(a, b)$ is also tangent to the curve $y = 5{x^2} + 2x - 25$ at the point (2, $-$1), then $|2a + 9b|$ is equal to __________.
Explanation:
$ =m=\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{\mathrm{at}(2,-1)}=22 $
$\therefore \quad$ Equation of tangent $: y+1=22(x-2)$
$\therefore \quad y=22 x-45$.
Slope of tangent to $y=x^{3}-x^{2}+x$ at point $(a, b)$
$ =3 a^{2}-2 a+1 $
$3 a^{2}-2 a+1=22$
$3 a^{2}-2 a-21=0$
$\therefore \quad a=3$ or $-\frac{7}{3}$
Also $b=a^{3}-a^{2}+a$
Then $(a, b)=(3,21)$ or $\left(-\frac{7}{3},-\frac{151}{9}\right)$.
$\left(-\frac{7}{3},-\frac{151}{9}\right)$ does not satisfy the equation of tangent
$\therefore \quad a=3, b=21$
$\therefore|2 a+9 b|=195$
A water tank has the shape of a right circular cone with axis vertical and vertex downwards. Its semi-vertical angle is $\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}$. Water is poured in it at a constant rate of 6 cubic meter per hour. The rate (in square meter per hour), at which the wet curved surface area of the tank is increasing, when the depth of water in the tank is 4 meters, is ______________.
Explanation:

$v = {1 \over 3}\pi {r^2}h$ ..... (i)
And $\tan \theta = {3 \over 4} = {r \over h}$ ...... (ii)
i.e. if $h = 4,\,r = 3$
$v = {1 \over 3}\pi {r^2}\left( {{{4r} \over 3}} \right)$
${{dv} \over {dt}} = {{4\pi } \over 9}3{r^2}{{dr} \over {dt}} \Rightarrow 6 = {{4\pi } \over 3}(9){{dr} \over {dt}}$
$ \Rightarrow {{dr} \over {dt}} = {1 \over {2\pi }}$
Curved area $ = \pi r\sqrt {{r^2} + {h^2}} $
$ = \pi r\sqrt {{r^2} + {{16{r^2}} \over 9}} $
$ = {5 \over 3}\pi {r^2}$
${{dA} \over {dt}} = {{10} \over 3}\pi r{{dr} \over {dt}}$
$ = {{10} \over 3}\pi \,.\,3\,.\,{1 \over {2\pi }}$
$ = 5$
Let $M$ and $N$ be the number of points on the curve $y^{5}-9 x y+2 x=0$, where the tangents to the curve are parallel to $x$-axis and $y$-axis, respectively. Then the value of $M+N$ equals ___________.
Explanation:
Here equation of curve is
${y^5} - 9xy + 2x = 0$ ...... (i)
On differentiating : $5{y^4}{{dy} \over {dx}} - 9y - 9x{{dy} \over {dx}} + 2 = 0$
$\therefore$ ${{dy} \over {dx}} = {{9y - 2} \over {5{y^4} - 9x}}$
When tangents are parallel to x-axis then $9y - 2 = 0$
$\therefore$ $M = 1$.
For tangent perpendicular to x-axis
$5{y^4} - 9x = 0$ ...... (ii)
From equation (i) and (ii) we get only one point.
$\therefore$ $N = 1$.
$\therefore$ $M + N = 2$.
Let the function $f(x)=2 x^{2}-\log _{\mathrm{e}} x, x>0$, be decreasing in $(0, \mathrm{a})$ and increasing in $(\mathrm{a}, 4)$. A tangent to the parabola $y^{2}=4 a x$ at a point $\mathrm{P}$ on it passes through the point $(8 \mathrm{a}, 8 \mathrm{a}-1)$ but does not pass through the point $\left(-\frac{1}{a}, 0\right)$. If the equation of the normal at $P$ is : $\frac{x}{\alpha}+\frac{y}{\beta}=1$, then $\alpha+\beta$ is equal to ________________.
Explanation:
$\delta '(x) = {{4{x^2} - 1} \over x}$ so f(x) is decreasing in $\left( {0,{1 \over 2}} \right)$ and increasing in $\left( {{1 \over 2},\infty } \right) \Rightarrow a = {1 \over 2}$
Tangent at ${y^2} = 2x \Rightarrow y = ,x + {1 \over {2m}}$
It is passing through $(4,3)$
$3 = 4m + {1 \over {2m}} \Rightarrow m = {1 \over 2}$ or ${1 \over 4}$
So tangent may be
$y = {1 \over 2}x + 1$ or $y = {1 \over 4}x + 2$
But $y = {1 \over 2}x + 1$ passes through $( - 2,0)$ so rejected.
Equation of normal
$y = - 4x - 2\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)( - 4) - {1 \over 2}{( - 4)^3}$
or $y = - 4x + 4 + 32$
or ${x \over 9} + {y \over {36}} = 1$
The sum of the maximum and minimum values of the function $f(x)=|5 x-7|+\left[x^{2}+2 x\right]$ in the interval $\left[\frac{5}{4}, 2\right]$, where $[t]$ is the greatest integer $\leq t$, is ______________.
Explanation:
$f(x) = |5x - 7| + [{x^2} + 2x]$
$ = |5x - 7| + [{(x + 1)^2}] - 1$
Critical points of
$f(x) = {7 \over 5},\sqrt 5 - 1,\,\sqrt 6 - 1,\,\sqrt 7 - 1,\,\sqrt 8 - 1,\,2$
$\therefore$ Maximum or minimum value of $f(x)$ occur at critical points or boundary points
$\therefore$ $f\left( {{5 \over 4}} \right) = {3 \over 4} + 4 = {{19} \over 4}$
$f\left( {{7 \over 5}} \right) = 0 + 4 = 4$
as both $|5x - 7|$ and ${x^2} + 2x$ are increasing in nature after $x = {7 \over 5}$
$\therefore$ $f(2) = 3 + 8 = 11$
$\therefore$ $f{\left( {{7 \over 5}} \right)_{\min }} = 4$ and $f{(2)_{\max }} = 11$
Sum is $4 + 11 = 15$
A hostel has 100 students. On a certain day (consider it day zero) it was found that two students are infected with some virus. Assume that the rate at which the virus spreads is directly proportional to the product of the number of infected students and the number of non-infected students. If the number of infected students on 4th day is 30, then number of infected students on 8th day will be __________.
Explanation:
Total students = 100
At t = 0 (zero day), infected student = 2
Let at t = t day infected student = x
$\therefore$ At t = t day non infected student = (100 $-$ x)
Rate of infection $ = {{dx} \over {dt}}$
Given, ${{dx} \over {dt}} \propto x(100 - x)$
$ \Rightarrow \int\limits_{}^{} {{{dx} \over {x(100 - x)}} = \int\limits_{}^{} {k\,dt} } $
$ \Rightarrow {1 \over {100}}\int\limits_{}^{} {{{100 - x + x} \over {x(100 - x)}}dx = k\,t + c} $
$ \Rightarrow {1 \over {100}}\int\limits_{}^{} {\left( {{1 \over x} + {1 \over {100 - x}}} \right)dx = k\,t + c} $
$ \Rightarrow {1 \over {100}}\left[ {\ln x - \ln (100 - x)} \right] = k\,t + c$
$ \Rightarrow {1 \over {100}}\ln {x \over {100 - x}} = k\,t + c$ ...... (1)
Given, At, t = 0, x = 2
$\therefore$ ${1 \over {100}}\ln {2 \over {98}} = c$
Putting value of c in equation (1), we get
${1 \over {100}}\ln {x \over {100 - x}} = kt + {1 \over {100}}\ln {2 \over {98}}$
$ \Rightarrow {1 \over {100}}\ln {x \over {100 - x}} - {1 \over {100}}\ln {2 \over {98}} = kt$
$ \Rightarrow {1 \over {100}}\ln {{x \times 98} \over {2(100 - x)}} = kt$
Given, At t = 4, x = 30
$\therefore$ ${1 \over {100}}\ln {{30 \times 98} \over {2(70)}} = k \times 4$
$ \Rightarrow k = {1 \over {400}}\ln 21$
$\therefore$ ${1 \over {100}}\ln {{x \times 98} \over {2(100 - x)}} = t \times {1 \over {400}} \times \ln 21$
Now, when t = 8, then r = ?
${1 \over {100}}\ln {{49x} \over {(100 - x)}} = 8 \times {1 \over {400}} \times \ln 21$
$ \Rightarrow \ln {{49x} \over {(100 - x)}} = 2\ln 21$
$ \Rightarrow {{49x} \over {100 - x}} = {21^2}$
$ \Rightarrow {x \over {100 - x}} = {{21 \times 21} \over {49}}$
$ \Rightarrow {x \over {100 - x}} = 9$
$ \Rightarrow x = 900 - 9x$
$ \Rightarrow 10x = 900$
$ \Rightarrow x = 90$
Let l be a line which is normal to the curve y = 2x2 + x + 2 at a point P on the curve. If the point Q(6, 4) lies on the line l and O is origin, then the area of the triangle OPQ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
${{{y_1} - 4} \over {{x_1} - 6}} = - {1 \over {4{x_1} + 1}}$
$ \Rightarrow {{2x_1^2 + {x_1} - 2} \over {{x_1} - 6}} = - {1 \over {4{x_1} + 1}}$
$ \Rightarrow 6 - {x_1} = 8x_1^3 + 6x_1^2 - 7{x_1} - 2$
$ \Rightarrow 8x_1^3 + 6x_1^2 - 6{x_1} - 8 = 0$
So ${x_1} = 1 \Rightarrow {y_1} = 5$
Area $ = \left| {{1 \over 2}\left| {\matrix{ 0 & 0 & 1 \cr 6 & 4 & 1 \cr 1 & 5 & 1 \cr } } \right|} \right| = 13$.
Let $f(x) = |(x - 1)({x^2} - 2x - 3)| + x - 3,\,x \in R$. If m and M are respectively the number of points of local minimum and local maximum of f in the interval (0, 4), then m + M is equal to ____________.
Explanation:
$f(x) = \left| {(x - 1)(x + 1)(x - 3)} \right| + (x - 3)$
$f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {(x - 3)({x^2})} & {3 \le x \le 4} \cr {(x - 3)(2 - {x^2})} & {1 \le x < 3} \cr {(x - 3)({x^2})} & {0 < x < 1} \cr } } \right.$
$f'(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {3{x^2} - 6x} & {3 < x < 4} \cr { - 3{x^2} + 6x + 2} & {1 < x < 3} \cr {3{x^2} - 6x} & {0 < x < 1} \cr } } \right.$
$f'({3^ + }) > 0\,\,\,f'({3^ - }) < 0 \to $ Minimum
$f'({1^ + }) > 0\,\,\,f'({1^ - }) < 0 \to $ Minimum
$x \in (1,3)\,\,f'(x) = 0$ at one point $\to$ Maximum
$x \in (3,4)\,\,f'(x) \ne 0$
$x \in (0,1)\,\,f'(x) \ne 0$
So, 3 points.
