PREFACE
Dear Student,

Heartiest congratulations on making up your mind and deciding to be an engineer to serve the society.

As you are planning to take various Engineering Entrance Examinations, we are sure that this STUDY PACKAGE is
going to be of immense help to you.

At NARAYANA we have taken special care to design this package according to the Latest Pattern of AIEEE, which
will not only help but also guide you to compete for AIEEE & other State Level Engineering Entrance Examinations.

The salient features of this package include :

! Power packed division of units and chapters in a scientific way, with a correlation being there.

! Sufficient number of solved examples in Physics, Chemistry & Mathematics in all the chapters to motivate the
students attempt all the questions.

! All the chapters are followed by various types of exercises (Level-I, Level-II, Level-III and Questions asked in AIEEE
and other Engineering Exams).

These exercises are followed by answers in the last section of the chapter. This package will help you to know what
to study, how to study, time management, your weaknesses and improve your performance.

We, at NARAYANA, strongly believe that quality of our package is such that the students who are not fortunate
enough to attend to our Regular Classroom Programs, can still get the best of our quality through these packages.

We feel that there is always a scope for improvement. We would welcome your suggestions & feedback.

Wish you success in your future endeavours.

THE NARAYANA TEAM

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
While preparing the study package, it has become a wonderful feeling for the NARAYANA TEAM to get the
wholehearted support of our Staff Members including our Designers. They have made our job really easy through
their untiring efforts and constant help at every stage.

We are thankful to all of them.

1. DEFINITION
If y = f(x) is any function which is defined in a neighbourhood of a then for some ‘ ∈ ’ greater than zero
there exists a δ > 0 such that |f(x) – l| < ∈ ⇒ | x − a | < δ then l is said to be limit of the function when
x-approches a. It is symbolically written as Lt f (x) = l
x →a

express numerator and denominator in the ascending powers of x and remove the common factor
there, the following expansions of some standard functions should be remembered.

7. INDETERMINATE FORMS
The forms which cannot be defined exactly are called indeterminate forms, they are
0 ∞
, , 0 × ∞ , ∞ − ∞ , 00, ∞0 and 1∞
0 ∞
L’ HOSPITAL’S RULE

f (x) 0 ∞ f ′(x) f ′(x)


If Lt takes the form of or then the limit of the function is xLt , if xLt
x → a g(x) 0 ∞ → a g′(x) → a g′(x) itself

0 ∞ f ′′(x)
takes the form again , then the limit of the function is xLt
→a g ′′(x) and the process is continued
0 ∞
0 ∞
till , is eliminated then limit is obtained.
0 ∞

0 ∞
1. If 0 × ∞ form is given, convert it in the form of , by taking one term to the denominater
0 ∞
then apply L’Hospital’s Rule.

0 ∞
2. If (∞ − ∞) form is given, take L.C.M convert it in the form of or form, then take the
0 ∞
help of L’Hospital’s Rule.
3. 00 and ∞ 0 form is given take the help of logarithms convert the problem again in the form of

0 ∞
or form and then use L’Hospital’s Rule.
0 ∞

If Lt [f (x)]
Lt g( x )[f ( x ) −1]
takes the form of 1∞ then write it as Lt ( f (x) )
g(x)
= e x →a
g( x )

x →a x →a

8. LIMIT OF GREATEST INTEGER FUNCTION


Greatest integer function is denoted by [.]
Let a ∈ R then two cases arise.
Case (1) if a ∈ integer then we have

1. Lt [x] = a
x →a +

2. Lt [x] = a − 1
x →a−

3. Lt [x] does not exist


x →a

Case (2) If a ∉ integer then


Lt [x] = c
x →c

sin[x]
Example : If f (x) = , [x] ≠ 0
[x]
=0 [x] = 0

where [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x, then find Lt f (x)
x →0

Solution : Lt f (0 − h) = Lt f (0 + h)
h →0 h →0

sin[ − h] sin[h]
⇒ Lt = Lt ⇒ sin1 ≠ 1
h →0 [− h] h → 0 [h]

9. SANDWICH THEOREM y
Suppose that g(x) ≤ f(x) ≤ h(x) for all x in some open
h(x)
interval containing c, except possibly at ‘c’ itself. f(x)
!
Suppose also that g(x)
Lt g(x) = Lt h(x) = ! then Lt f (x) = !
x →c x →c x →c

This is called sandwich theorem. O c

10. SPECIAL TYPES OF LIMITS


1. Use of Leibnitz’s formula for evaluating the limit
Consider the integral
ψ(x)

g(x) = ∫
φ( x )
f (t) dt then

g ′(x) = f [ψ (x)] ψ ′(x) − f (φ(x)) φ′(x)


2. Summation of series using definite integral as the limit of a sum.
It is used in the expression of the form

r
b
1 n
Lt
n →∞ n

r =1
f   = ∫ f (x) dx
n a
To Evaluate such limits we note the following

(a) ∑ is replaced by sign of integration

r
(b) → x (r = x , n = 1)
n
1
(c) → dx
n
(d) Lower limit is always zero.
(e) Upper limit is Coefficient of n in the upper limit of Σ

DERIVATIVES
11. DERIVATIVE OF A FUNCTION
Let y = f(x) be a function defined on an interval [a, b]. Let for a small increment δx in x, the corresponding
increment in the value of y be δy. Then
y = f(x) and y + δy = f(x + δx)
On subtraction, we get
δy = f(x + δx) – f(x)

δy f (x + δx) − f (x)
or =
δx δx
Taking limit on both sides when δx → 0 we have,

δy f (x + δx) − f (x)
lim = lim
δx → 0 δx δx → 0 δx
if this limit exists, is called the derivative or differential coefficient of y with respect to x and is
dy
written as or f ′(x) . Thus
dx

dy δy f (x + δx) − f (x)
∴ = lim = lim . This is called Differentiation from first principle.
dx δx → 0 δx δx → 0 δx
Derivative at a point:
The value of f ′(x) obtained by putting x = a, is called the derivative of f(x) at x = a and it is denoted

14. DERIVATIVE OF PARAMETRIC FUNCTIONS

Solution : = a[ − sin θ + sin θ + θ cos θ] = aθ cos θ ; = a(cos θ − cos θ + θ sin θ) = aθ sin θ

15. DIFFERENTIATION OF IMPLICIT FUNCTIONS


If in an equation, x and y both occur together. i.e. f(x, y) = 0 or f(x, y) = c and this function can not
be solved either for 'y' or 'x' then f(x, y) is called the implicit function of x (or y).

If x + y = a , then
dx ∂f (x y log x + xy x −1 )

15.1. WORKING RULE FOR FINDING THE DERIVATIVE

(ii) Collect the coefficients of and obtain the value of .

If f(x, y) = constant, then = = − x where and
dx ∂f fy ∂x ∂ y are partial differential coefficients of

f(x, y) with respect to x and y respectively.

Note : An implicit function can be differentiated either with respect to 'x' or with respect to 'y'
