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.
! 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.
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.

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

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
dy
by f ′(a) or
dx x = a
