DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS – I
Introduction:
The mathematical study of change like motion, growth or decay is calculus. The Rate of change of
given function is derivative or differential.
The concept of derivative is essential in day to day life. Also applicable in Engineering, Science,
Economics, Medicine etc.
Successive Differentiation:
Let y = f (x) --(1) be a real valued function.
dy
The first order derivative of y denoted by or y’ or y1 or ∆1

The Second order derivative of y denoted by d yor y’’ or y2 or ∆2
dx 2
Similarly differentiating the function (1) n-times, successively,
dny
the n order derivative of y exists denoted by n or yn or yn or ∆n
th
dx
The process of finding 2nd and higher order derivatives is known as Successive Differentiation.
nth derivative of some standard functions:

1. y = eax

Leibnitz’s Theorem :
It provides a useful formula for computing the nth derivative of a product of two functions.
Statement : If u and v are any two functions of x with un and vn as their nth derivative. Then the nth
derivative of uv is
(uv)n = u0vn + nC1 u1vn-1 + nC2u2vn-2 + …+nCn-1un-1v1+unv0

Note : We can interchange u & v (uv)n = (vu)n,
nC = n , nC2 = n(n-1) /2! , nC3= n(n-1)(n-2) /3! …

1. Find the nth derivations of eax cos(bx + c)

Solution: y1 = eax – b sin (bx +c) + a eax cos (b x + c), by product rule.
.i.e, y1 = eax [a cos (bx + c ) − b sin (bx + c )]
Let us put a = r cos θ , and b = r sin θ .
∴ a 2 + b 2 = r 2 and tan θ = b / a
.ie., r = a 2 + b 2 and θ = tan-1 (b/a)

Now, y1 = e ax [r cos θ cos(bx + c) − r sin θ sin( bx + c)]
Ie., y1 = r eax cos (θ + bx + c )
where we have used the formula cos A cos B – sin A sin B = cos (A + B)
Differentiating again and simplifying as before,
y2 = r2 eax cos (2θ + bx + c ) .
Similarly y3 = r3 e ax cos (3θ + bx + c ) .
………………………………………
Thus y n = r n e ax cos(nθ + bx + c )
Where r = a 2 + b 2 and θ = tan-1 (b/a).

Thus Dn [eax cos (b x + c)]
[ [
= ( a 2 + b 2 ) n e ax cos n tan −1 (b / a ) + bx + c ]]

It is important to note that we have to convert the logarithm to the base e by the property:

Solution : y= is an improper fraction because; the degree of the

But D = ( x2 – 3x + 7 ) = 2x – 3, D2 ( x2 – 3x + 7 ) = 2

Continuity & Differentiability
Some Fundamental Definitions
A function f (x) is defined in the interval I, then it is said to be continuous at a point x = a

if lim f ( x) = f (a)
x→a f ( x + h) − f (a)
A function f (x) is said to be differentiable at x = a if lim = f '(a) exists a ∈I
h→0 h
⎧− x −1 ≤ x ≤ 0
Ex : Consider a function f (x) is defined in the interval [-1,1] by f (x) = x =⎨
⎩ x 0 ≤ x ≤1
It is continuous at x = 0
But not differentiable at x = 0
Note : If a function f (x) is differentiable then it is continuous, but converse need not be true.
Geometrically :
(1) If f (x) is Continuous at x =a means, f (x) has no breaks or jumps at the point x = a
⎧−1 −1 ≤ x ≤ 0
Ex : f (x) = ⎨
⎩ x 0 < x ≤ 1
Is discontinuous at x=0
(2) If f (x) is differentiable at x = a means, the graph of f (x) has a unique tangent at the point or graph
is smooth at x = a
1. Give the definitions of Continuity & Differentiability:
Solution: A function f (x) is said to be continuous at x = a, if corresponding to an arbitrary positive

number ε, however small, their exists another positive number δ such that.
⏐f (x) – f (a)⏐ < ε, where ⏐x - a⏐ < δ
It is clear from the above definition that a function f (x) is continuous at a point ‘a’.
If (i) it exists at x = a
(ii) Lt f (x) = f (a)

x→a
i.e, limiting value of the function at x = a is to the value of the function at x = a

Differentiability:
A function f (x) is said to be differentiable in the interval (a, b), if it is differentiable at
every point in the interval.
In Case [a,b] the function should posses derivatives at every point and at the end points a & b i.e., Rf1
(a) and Lf1 (a) exists.
2. State Rolle’s Theorem with Geometric Interpretation.

Statement: Let f (x) be a function is defined on [a,b] & it satisfies the following Conditions.
(i) f (x) is continuous in [a,b]
(ii) f (x) is differentiable in (a,b)
(iii) f (a) = f (b)

Then there exists at least a point C∈ (a,b), Here a < b such that f1 ( c ) = 0
Proof:

Let us consider the graph of the function y = f (x) in xy – plane. A (a,.f(a)) and
B (b, f( b ) ) be the two points in the curve f (x) and a, b are the corresponding end points of A & B
respectively. Now, explained the conditions of Rolle’s theorem as follows.
(i) f (x) is continuous function in [a,b], Because from figure without breaks or jumps in
between A & B on y = f (x).
(ii) f (x) is a differentiable in (a,b), that means let us joining the points A & B, we
get a line AB.
∴ Slope of the line AB = 0 then ∃ a point C at P and also the tangent at P (or Q or R or S) is
Parallel to x –axis.
∴ Slope of the tangent at P (or Q or R or S) to be Zero even the curve y = f (x) decreases or
increases, i.e., f (x) is Constant.

f1 (x) = 0
∴f1 (c) = 0
(iii) The Slope of the line AB is equal to Zero, i.e., the line AB is parallel to x – axis.
∴ f (a) = f (b)
3. Verify Rolle’s Theorem for the function f (x) = x2 – 4x + 8 in the internal [1,3]
Solution: We know that every Poly nominal is continuous and differentiable for all points and hence f
(x) is continuous and differentiable in the internal [1,3].
Also f (1) = 1 – 4 + 8 = 5, f (3) = 32 – 43 + 8 = 5
Hence f (1) = f (3)

Thus f (x) satisfies all the conditions of the Rolle’s Theorem. Now f1 (x) = 2x – 4 and f1 (x) = 0
⇒ 2x – 4 = 0 or x = 2. Clearly 1 < 2 < 3. Hence there exists 2t (1,3) such that f1 (2) = 0. This shows
that Rolle’s Theorem holds good for the given function f (x) in the given interval.

4. Verify Rolle’s Theorem for the function f (x) = x (x + 3) e 2
in the interval [-3, 0]
Solution: Differentiating the given function W.r.t ‘x’ we get
⎛ 1 ⎞ −x −x
f 1 ( x) = ( x 2 + 3 x)⎜ − ⎟e 2 + (2 x + 3)e 2
⎝ 2⎠
1 −x
= − ( x 2 − x − 6) e 2
2
∴ f (x) exists (i.e finite) for all x and hence continuous for all x.
1
Also f (-3) = 0, f (0) = 0 so that f (-3) = f (0) so that f (-3) = f (0). Thus f (x) satisfies all the conditions of
the Rolle’s Theorem.
Now, f1 (x) = 0
1 −x
⇒ − ( x 2 − x − 6) e 2 = 0
2
Solving this equation we get x = 3 or x = -2
Clearly –3 < -2 < 0. Hence there exists –2∈ (-3,0) such that f1 (-2) = 0
This proves that Rolle’s Theorem is true for the given function.

5. Verify the Rolle’s Theorem for the function Sin x in [-π, π]
Solution: Let f (x) = Sin x
Clearly Sinx is continuous for all x.
Also f1 (x) = Cos x exists for all x in (-π, π) and f (-π) = Sin (-π) = 0; f (π) = Sin (π) = 0 so that f (-π) = f
(π)
Thus f (x) satisfies all the conditions of the Rolle’s Theorem .
Now f1 (x) = 0 ⇒ Cos x = 0 so that

Both these values lie in (-π,π). These exists C = ±

Such that ( c ) = 0

Hence Rolle’s theorem is vertified.

Solution: Now f (x) = ⏐x⏐= x for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

-x for –1 ≤ x ≤ 0
f (x) being a linear function is continuous for all x in [-1, 1]. f(x) is differentiable for all x in (-
1,1) except at x = 0. Therefore Rolle’s Theorem does not hold good for the function f (x) in [-1,1].
Graph of this function is shown in figure. From which we observe that we cannot draw a tangent to the

9. State & prove Lagrange’s (1st) Mean Value Theorem with Geometric meaning.
Statement: Let f (x) be a function of x such that
(i) If is continuous in [a,b]
(ii) If is differentiable in (a,b)
Then there exists atleast a point (or value) C∈ (a,b) such that.
f (b ) − f ( a )
f 1 (c ) =
b−a
i.e., f (b) = f (a) + (b – a) f1 (c)

Proof:
[b,f(b)]
[a,f(a)]
x
a c b

Define a function g (x) so that g (x) = f (x) – Ax ---------- (1)
Where A is a Constant to be determined.
So that g (a) = g (b)
Now, g (a) = f (a) – Aa
G (b) = f (b) – Ab
∴ g (a) = g (b) ⇒ f (a) – Aa = f (b) – Ab.
f (b) − f ( a )
i.e., A = ---------------- (2)
b−a
Now, g (x) is continuous in [a,b] as rhs of (1) is continuous in [a,b]
G(x) is differentiable in (a,b) as r.h.s of (1) is differentiable in (a,b).
Further g (a) = g (b), because of the choice oif A.
Thus g (x) satisfies the conditions of the Rolle’s Theorem.
∴ These exists a value x = c sothat a < c < b at which g1 ( c ) = 0
∴Differentiate (1) W.r.t ‘x’ we get
g1 (x) = f 1 (x) – A
∴ g1 ( c ) = f1 ( c )- A (∵ x =c)
⇒ f 1 ( c ) - A = 0 (∵g1 ( c ) = 0)
∴f1 ( c ) = A -------------- (3)
From (2) and (3) we get
f (b ) − f ( a )
f 1 (c ) = (or) f (b) = f (a) + (b – a) f1 (c) For a < c < b
b−a
Corollary: Put b – a = h
i.e., b = a + h and c = a + θ h
Where 0 < θ < 1
Substituting in f (b) = f (a) + (b – a) f1 ( c )
∴ f (a + h) = f (a) + h f (a + θ h), where 0 < θ < 1.

Geometrical Interpretation:-
Since y = f (x) is continuous in [a,b], it has a graph as shown in the figure below,

At x = b, y = f (b)

Geometrically, it means that there exists at least are value of x = c, where a < c < b at which the
tangent will be parallel to the line joining the end points at x = a & x = b.
Note: These can be more than are value at which the tangents are parallel to the line joining points A &
B (from Fig (ii)).

10. Verify Lagrange’s Mean value theorem for f(x) = (x – 1) (x – 2) (x – 3) in [0,4].
Solution: Clearly given function is continuous in [0,4] and differentiable in (0,4), because f (x) is in
polynomial.
f (x) = (x – 1) (x – 2) (x – 3)
f (x) = x3 – 6x2 + 11x – 6
and f (0) = 03 – 6(0)2 + 11 (0) – 6 = -6
f(4) = 43 – 6 (4)2 + 11 (4) – 6 = 6

Differentiate f (x) W.r.t x, we get
F1 (x) = 3x2 – 6x + 11
Let x = c, f1 ( c) = 3c2 – 6c + 11
By Lagrange’s Mean value theorem, we have
f (b) − f (a) f (4) − f (0)

f 1 (c ) = =
b−a (4 − 0)
6 − ( − 6)
= =3

∴3c2 – 6c + 11 = 3
⇒ 3c2 – 6c + 8 = 0
Solving this equation, we get

C=2± ∈ (0,4)

Hence the function is verified.
11. Verify the Lagrange’s Mean value theorem for f (x) = logx in [1,e].
Solution: Now Logx is continuous for all x > 0 and hence [1,e].
1
Also f 1 ( x) = which exists for all x in (1,e)
x
Hence f (x) is differentiable in (1,e)
∴by Lagrange’s Mean Value theorem, we get

Loge − Log1 1 1 1
= ⇒ =
e −1 c e −1 c
⇒C=e–1
⇒1<e- <2<e
Since e∈ (2,3)
∴ So that c = e – 1 lies between 1 & e
Hence the Theorem.
12. Find θ for f (x) = Lx2 + mx + n by Lagrange’s Mean Value theorem.
Solution: f (x) = Lx2 + mx + n
∴f1 (x) = 2 Lx + m
We have f (a + h) = f (a) + hf1 (a + θ h)
Or f (a + h) – f (a) = hf1 (a + θ h)
i.e., { (a + h)2 + m (a + h) + n} – { a2 + ma + n} = h {2 (a + θ h) + m}
Comparing the Co-efficient of h2, we get

17. State & prove Cauchy’s Mean Value Theorem with Geometric meaning.
Proof: The ratio of the increments of two functions called Cauchy’s Theorem.
Statement: Let g (x) and f (x) be two functions of x such that,
(i) Both f (x) and g (x) are continuous in [a,b]
(ii) Both f (x) and g (x) are differentiable in (a,b)
(iii) g1 (x) ≠ 0 for any x ε (a,b)
These three exists at least are value x = c ε (a,b) at which
f 1 (c) f (b) − f (a)

=
g 1 (c) g (b) − g (a )
Proof: Define a function,
φ (x) = f (x) – A. g (x) ------------------ (1)
So that φ (a) = φ (b) and A is a Constant to be determined.
Now, φ (a) = f (a) – A g (a)
φ (b) = f (b) – A. g (b)
∴ f (a) – A g (a) = f (b) – A. g (b)

f (b) − f (b)
⇒ A= -------------------- (2)
g (b) − g (a )
Now, φ is continuous in [a,b] as r.h.s of (1) is continuous in [a,b] and φ (x) is differentiable in
(a,b) as r.h.s of (1) is differentiable in [a,b].
Also φ (a) = φ (b)
Hence all the conditions of Rolle’s Theorem are satisfied then there exists a value x = c ∈ (a,b)
such that φ1 ( c ) = 0.
Now, Differentiating (1) W.r.t x, we get
φ1 (x) = f1 (x) – A.g1 (x)
at x = c ∈ (a,b)

∴φ1 ( c ) = f1 ( c ) – A g1 (c)
0 = f1 ( c) – A g1 ( c ) (∵ g1 (x) ≠ 0)
f 1 (c )
⇒ A= --------------- (3)
g 1 (c )
Substituting (3) in (2), we get
f 1 (c) f (b) − f (a)
= , where a < c < b
g 1 (c) g (b) − g (a )
Hence the proof.
18. Verify Cauchy’s Mean Value Theorem for the function f (x) = x2 + 3, g (x) = x3 + 1 in [1,3]
Solution: Here f (x) = x2 + 3, g (x) = x3 + 1
Both f (x) and g (x) are Polynomial in x. Hence they are continuous and differentiable for all x
and in particular in [1,3]
Now, f1 (x) = 2x, g1 (x) = 3x2
Also g 1 (x) ≠ 0 for all x ∈ (1,3)
Hence f (x) and g (x) satisfy all the conditions of the cauchy’s mean value theorem.
Therefore
f (3) − f (1) f 1 (c)

Polar Curves
If we traverse in a hill section where the road is not straight, we often see caution boards hairpin
bend ahead, sharp bend ahead etc. This gives an indication of the difference in the amount of bending
of a road at various points which is the curvature at various points. In this chapter we discuss about the
curvature, radius of curvature etc.
Consider a point P in the xy-Plane.

r = length of OP= radial distance
θ = Polar angle
( r, θ)→ Polar co-ordinates
Let r = f (θ) be the polar curve
r = x2 + y2 , θ = tan−1 y ( x) −−−−−−(1)
x = r Cos θ y = r Sin θ
Relation (1) enables us to find the polar co-ordinates
( r, θ) when the Cartesian co-ordinates ( x, y) are known.
Expression for arc length in Cartesian form.
Proof: Let P (x,y) and Q (x + δx, Y + δy) be two neighboring points on the graph of the
function y = f (x). So that they are at length S and S + δs measured from a fixed
point A on the curve.

From figure, PQ = δS ,

AP = S
∠TPR = ψ and PR =δx, RQ = δy

2011
∴ Arc PQ = δS
From ∆le PQR, we have
[Chord PQ]2 = PR2 + QR2
[Chord PQ]2 = (δx)2 + (δy)2 (∵ from figure)
When Q is very close to point P, the length of arc PQ is equal to the length of Chord PQ.
i.e arc PQ = Chord PQ = δs
∴ (δs)2 = (δx)2 + (δy)2 -------- (1)
÷ (δx)2, we get
⎛ δs ⎞ ⎛ δy ⎞
2 2
⎜ ⎟ = 1+ ⎜ ⎟
⎝ δx ⎠ ⎝ δx ⎠
When Q → P along the curve, δx → 0, δs → 0

Let (x, y) be the Cartesian coordinates of P so that we have,

1. Find the angle of intersection of the curves:

r = a (1 + cos θ ) & r = b (1 - cos θ )
Solution : r = a (1 + cos θ) : r = b(1 – cos θ)

⇒ log r = log a + log (1 + cos θ) : log r = log b + log (1 – cos θ)
Differentiating these w.r.t. θ we get

1 dr - sin θ 1 dr sin θ
= 0 + : = 0 +
r dθ 1 + cos θ r dθ 1 − cos θ
− 2 sin (θ/2 ) cos (θ/2 ) 2 sin (θ/2 ) cos (θ/2 )
cot φ1 = : cot φ 2 =
2 cos 2 (θ/2 ) 2 sin 2 (θ/2 )
ie., cot φ1 = - tan (θ /2 ) = cot (π/2 + θ /2 ) : cot φ 2 = cot (θ /2 )
⇒ φ 1 = π /2 + θ /2 : φ 2 = θ/2

2011
∴ angle of intersection = φ1 - φ 2 = π/2 + θ/2 - θ/2 = π/2
Hence the curves intersect orthogonally.

2. S.T. the curves r = a (1 + sin θ ) & r = a (1 - sin θ ) cut each other orthogonally
Solution : log r = log a + log (1 + sin θ) : log r = log a + log (1 – sin θ)

Differentiating these w.r.t θ we get
1 dr cos θ 1 dr - cos θ
= : =
r dθ 1 + sin θ r dθ 1 − sin θ
cos θ - cos θ
ie., cot φ1 = : cot φ 2 =
1 + sin θ 1 − sin θ
1 + sin θ 1 - sin θ
We have tan φ1 = and tan φ 2 =
cos θ - cos θ
1 - sin 2 θ cos 2 θ
∴ tan φ1 . tan φ 2 = = = -1
− cos 2 θ - cos 2 θ
Hence the curves intersect orthogonally.

r = sin θ + cos θ, r = 2 sin θ
Solution : log r = log (sin θ + cos θ) : r = 2 sin θ
⇒ log r = log (sin θ + cos θ ) : log r = log 2 + log (sin θ)
Differentiating these w.r.t θ we get

1 dr cos θ - sin θ 1 dr cos θ
= : =
r dθ sin θ + cos θ r dθ sin θ
cos θ (1 - tan θ )
ie., cot φ1 = : cot φ 2 = cot θ ⇒ φ 2 = θ
cos θ (1 + tan θ )
ie., cot φ1 = cot (π/4 + θ ) ⇒ φ1 = π/4 + θ
∴ φ1 - φ 2 = π/4 + θ - θ = π/4
The angle of intersection is π / 4

2011
4. Find the angle of the curves: r = a log θ and r = a/ log θ

Solution : r = a log θ : r = a/ log θ
⇒ log r = log a + log (log θ ) : log r = log a - log (log θ )
Differentiating these w.r.t q, we get,
1 dr 1 1 dr 1
= : =−
r dθ log θ . θ r dθ log θ . θ
1 1
ie., cot φ1 = : cot φ 2 = -
θ log θ θ log θ
Note : We can not find φ1 and φ 2 explicitly.
∴ tan φ1 = θ log θ : tan φ 2 = θ log θ
Now consider, tan φ1 = θ log θ : tan φ 2 = - θ log θ
2 θ log θ 2θ log θ
Now consider, tan (φ1 - φ 2 ) = = ......…(1)
1 + tan φ1 tan φ 2 1 − (θ log θ)2
We have to find θ by solving the given pair of equations :

r = a log θ and r = a/log θ
a
Equating the R.H.S we have a log θ =
log θ
ie., (log θ = 1 )2 = 1 or log θ ⇒ θ = e

Substituting θ = e in (1) we get
tan (φ1 − φ 2 ) =
2e
(∵ log e = 1)
1 - e2
⎛ 2e ⎞
∴ angle of intersection φ1 - φ 2 = tan -1 ⎜ 2 ⎟
= 2 tan -1 e
⎝1- e ⎠
r = a (1 – cos θ ) and r = 2a cos θ
Solution : r = a (1 – cos θ) : r = 2a cos θ
Taking logarithms we have,
Log r = log a + log (1 – cos θ) : log r = log 2a + log (cos θ)
Differentiating these w.r.t θ, we get,

2011
1 dr sin θ 1 dr - sin θ
= : =
r dθ 1 - cos θ r dθ cos θ
2 sin (θ/2 ) cos (θ/2 )
ie., cot φ1 = : cot φ 2 = - tan θ
2 sin 2 (θ/2 )
ie., cot φ1 = cot (θ /2 ) : cot φ 2 = cot (π/2 + θ )
⇒ φ1 = θ /2 : φ 2 = π/2 + θ
∴ φ1 − φ 2 = θ/2 - π/2 - θ = π / 2 +θ 2 …(1)
Now consider r = a (1 - cos θ ) = 2a cos θ
Or 3 cos θ = 1 or θ = cos -1 (1/3)

Substituting this value in (1) we get,
The angle of intersection π / 2 + 1/2 . cos -1 (1/3)
6. Find the angle of intersection of the curves :

r = aθ and r = a / θ
Solution : r = aθ : r=a/θ
⇒ log r = log a + log θ : log r = log a - log θ
Differentiating these w.r.t θ, we get,
1 dr 1 1 dr 1
= : =-
r dθ θ r dθ θ
1 1
ie., cot φ1 = : cot φ 2 = -
θ θ
or tan φ1 = θ : tan φ 2 = - θ
Also by equating the R.H.S of the given equations we have

aθ = a/ θ or θ 2 = 1 ⇒ θ = ± 1
When θ = 1, tan φ1 = 1, tan φ 2 = - 1 and
When θ = - 1, tan φ1 = - 1, tan φ 2 = 1 .
∴ tan φ1 . tan φ 2 = - 1 ⇒ φ1 - φ 2 = π /2
The curves intersect at right angles.

2011
7. Find the pedal equation of the curve: r (1 - cos θ ) = 2a

Solution : r (1 - cos θ ) = 2a
⇒ log r + log (1 - cos θ ) = log 2a
Differentiating w.r.t θ, we get

1 dr sin θ 1 dr - sin θ
+ = 0 or =
r dθ 1 - cos θ r dθ 1 - cos θ
- 2 sin (θ/2 ) cos (θ/2 )
∴ cot φ = = - cot (θ/2 )
2 sin 2 (θ/2 )
ie., ∴ cot φ = cot (- θ /2 ) ⇒ φ = - (θ /2 )
Consider p = r sin φ
∴ p = r sin (- θ /2 ) or p = - r sin (θ /2 )
Now we have, r (1 - cos θ ) = 2a …(1)

p = - r sin (θ /2 ) …(2)
We have to eliminate θ from (1) and (2)
(1) can be put in form r . 2 sin 2 (θ / 2 ) = 2a
ie., r sin 2 (θ/2 ) = a

But p/-r = sin (θ/2), from (2)
⎛ p2 ⎞
∴ r ⎜⎜ 2 ⎟⎟ = a or p 2 = ar
⎝r ⎠
Thus p2 = ar is the required pedal equation.
8. Find the pedal equation of the curve: r2 = a2 sec 2θ

Solution : r2 = a2 sec 2θ
⇒ 2 log r = 2 log a + log (sec 2θ)
Differentiating w.r.t θ , we get,
2 dr 2 sec 2θ tan 2θ 1 dr
= ie., = tan 2θ
r dθ sec 2θ r dθ
ie., cot φ = cot (π /2 - 2θ ) ⇒ φ = π/2 - 2θ

2011
Consider p = r sin φ ∴ p = r sin (π /2 - 2θ ) ie., p = r cos 2 θ
Now we have, r 2 = a 2 sec 2θ …(1)

p = r cos 2θ …(2)
From (2) p/r = cos 2θ or r/p = sec 2 θ
Substituting in (1) we get, r 2 = a 2 (r/p ) or pr = a2
Thus pr = a2 is the required pedal equation.
9. Find the pedal equation of the curve: rn = an cos nθ

Solution : rn = an cos nθ
⇒ n log r = n log a + log (cos n θ )
Differentiating w.r.t q we get

n dr - n sin nθ 1 dr
= ie., = - tan nθ
r dθ cos nθ r dθ
∴ cot φ = cot (π /2 + n θ ) ⇒ φ = π /2 + n θ
∴ p = r sin (π /2 = nθ ) ie., p = r cos nθ
Now we have, r n = a n cos nθ …(1)

p = r cos nθ …(2)
∴ (1) as a consequenc e of (2) is r n = a n (p/r )

Thus rn + 1 = pan is the required pedal equation.
10. Find the pedal equation of the curve: rm = am (cos mθ + sin mθ)
Solution : rm = am (cos mθ + sin mθ)
Differentiating w.r.t θ, we get,
m dr - m sin mθ + m cos mθ
=
r dθ cos mθ + sin mθ
1 dr cos mθ - sin mθ cos mθ (1 - tan mθ )
ie., = =
r dθ cos mθ + sin mθ cos mθ (1 + tan mθ )
∴ cot φ = cot (π /4 + m θ ) ⇒ φ = π /4 + m θ

2011
∴ p = r sin (π /4 + m θ )
ie., p = r [sin (π /4 ) cos m θ + cos (π/4 ) sin m θ ]
ie., p =
r
(cos mθ + sin mθ )
2
(we have used the formula of sin (A + B) and also the values sin (π/4 ) = cos (π/4 ) = 1/ 2 )
Now we have, r m = a m (cos m θ + sin m θ ) …(1)
p=
r
(cos m θ + sin mθ ) …(2)
2
Using (2) in (1) we get,
p 2
rm = am . or r m +1 = 2 a m p
r
Thus r m + 1 = 2 a m p is the required pedal equation.
11. Establish the pedal equation of the curve:

( )
r n = a n sin n θ + b n cos nθ in the form p 2 a 2n + b 2 n = r 2 n + 2
Solution : We have r n = a n sin nθ + b n cos nθ

(
⇒ n log r = log a n sin nθ + b n cos nθ )
Differentiating w.r.t θ we get
n dr na n cos nθ - nb n sin nθ
= n
r dθ a sin nθ + b n cos nθ
a n cos nθ - b n sin nθ
Dividing by n, cot φ = n
a sin nθ + b n cos nθ
Since φ cannot be found, squaring and taking the reciprocal we get,

such that arc AP = S.
Let the angle between the tangent to the Circle at A and P be ψ. Then clearly AOP = ψ.
∴ AP = rψ
i.e., S = rψ
This is the intrinsic equation of the circle.

DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS – III
PARTIAL DIFFERENTIATION
Introduction :-
Partial differential equations abound in all branches of science and engineering and
many areas of business. The number of applications is endless.
Partial derivatives have many important uses in math and science. We shall see
that a partial derivative is not much more or less than a particular sort of directional
derivative. The only trick is to have a reliable way of specifying directions ... so most of
this note is concerned with formalizing the idea of direction
So far, we had been dealing with functions of a single independent variable. We will now
consider functions which depend on more than one independent variable; Such
functions are called functions of several variables.
Geometrical Meaning
Suppose the graph of z = f (x,y) is the
surface shown. Consider the partial
derivative of f with respect to x at a point
(x0, y0). Holding y constant and varying x,
we trace out a curve that is the intersection
of the surface with the vertical plane y = y0.
The partial derivative fx(x0,y0). measures
the change in z per unit increase in x along
this curve. That is, fx(x0, y0) is just the slope
of the curve at (x0, y0). The geometrical
interpretation of fy(x0, y0). is analogous.

2011
Real-World Applications:
Rates of Change:
In the Java applet we saw how the concept of partial derivative could be applied
geometrically to find the slope of the surface in the x and y directions. In the following
two examples we present partial derivatives as rates of change. Specifically we explore
an application to a temperature function ( this example does have a geometric aspect in
terms of the physical model itself) and a second application to electrical circuits, where
no geometry is involved.
I. Temperature on a Metal Plate
The screen capture below shows a current website illustrating thermal flow for chemical
engineering. Our first application will deal with a similar flat plate where temperature
varies with position.
* The example following the picture below is taken from the current text in SM221,223:
Multivariable Calculus by James Stewart.

2011
Suppose we have a flat metal plate where the temperature at a point (x,y) varies
according to position. In particular, let the temperature at a point (x,y) be given by,
T ( x, y ) = 60 /1 + x 2 + y 2
where T is measured in oC and x and y in meters.
Question: what is the rate of change of temperature with respect to distance at the point
(2,1) in (a) the x-direction? and (b) in the y-direction ?
Let's take (a) first.
What is the rate of change of temperature with respect to distance at the point (2,1) in
(a) the x-direction?
What observations and translations can we make here?
Rate of change of temperature indicates that we will be computing a type of derivative.
Since the temperature function is defined on two variables we will be computing a partial
derivative. Since the question asks for the rate of change in the x-direction, we will be
holding y constant. Thus, our question now becomes:
What is dT dxat the point (2,1)?
T ( x, y ) = 60 /1 + x 2 + y 2 = 60(1 + x 2 + y 2 ) −1
∂T = −60(2 x)(1 + x 2 + y 2 ) −2
∂x
∂T (2,1) = −60(4)(1 + 4 + 1) −2 = −20
∂x 3
Conclusion :
The rate of change of temperature in the x-direction at (2,1) is −20 3 degrees
per meter;
note this means that the temperature is decreasing !

2011
Part (b):
The rate of change of temperature in the y-direction at (2,1) is computed in a similar
manner. T ( x, y ) = 60 /1 + x 2 + y 2 = 60(1 + x 2 + y 2 ) −1
∂T = −60(2 y )(1 + x 2 + y 2 ) −2
∂x
∂T (2,1) = −60(2)(1 + 4 + 1) −2 = −10
∂x 3
Conclusion :
The rate of change of temperature in the y-direction at (2,1) is −10 degrees
3
per meter;
note this means that the temperature is decreasing !
II. Electrical Circuits: Changes in Current

The following is adapted from an example in a former text for SM221,223 Multivariable
Calculus by Bradley and Smith.
* In an electrical circuit with electromotive force (EMF) of E volts and resistance R ohms,
the current, I, is
I=E/R amperes.
Question: (a) At the instant when E=120 and R=15 , what is the rate of change of
current with respect to voltage.
(b) What is the rate of change of current with respect to resistance?
(a) Even though no geometry is involved in this example, the rate of change questions
can be answered with partial derivatives.
we first note that I is a function of E and R, namely,
I(E,R) = ER-1

The rate of change of current with respect to voltage =

the partial derivative of I with respect to voltage, holding resistance constant is
∂I = R −1
∂E
when E=120 and R=15 , we have ∂ I ∂ E = 15 −1 ≈ 0.0667

verbal conclusion : If the resistance is fixed at 15 ohms, the current is increasing with
respect to voltage at the rate of 0.0667 amperes per volt when the EMF is 120 volts.
Part (b):
What is the rate of change of current with respect to resistance?
Using similar observations to part (a) we conclude:
The partial derivative of I with respect to resistance, holding voltage constant = ∂I ∂E = ER −1

when E=120 and R=15 , we have ∂I ∂E (120,15) = −120(15)−1 ≈ −0.5333
Conclusion : If the EMF is fixed at 120 volts, the current is decreasing with respect to
resistance at the rate of 0.5333 amperes per ohm when the resistance is 15 ohms.

Solution :Observing the required partial derivative we conclude that u must be a function of x, y. But
u = f( r) by data and hence we need to have r as a function of x, y. Since x = r cos θ, y = r
sin θ we have x2 + y2 = r2.

21. State Taylor’s Theorem for Functions of Two Variables.
Statement: Considering f (x + h, y + k) as a function of a single variable x, we have by

Taylor’s Theorem

f (x + h, y + k) = f (x, y + k) + h + + ---------(1)
∂x 2! ∂x 2
Now expanding f (x, y + k) as function of y only,

f (x, y + k) = f (x, y) + k + + --------
∂y 2! ∂y 2
∂f ( x, y ) k 2 ∂ 2 f ( x, y )
∴ (i) takes the form f (x + h, y + k) = f (x,y) + k + +-------------------------------- +

Hence f (x + h, y + k) = f (x , y) +h +k + ⎜⎜ h + 2 hk + k ⎟⎟ + − − (1)

Taking x = a and y = b, (1) becomes

Putting a + h = x and b + k = y so that h = x – a, k = y – b, we get
F (x,y) = f (a,b) + [(x – a) f x (a,b) + (y – b) f y (a,b)]

2!
This is Taylor’s expansion of f (x,y) in powers of (x – a) and (y – b). It is used to expand f (x,y)
in the neighborhood of (a,b)
corollary, putting a = 0, b = 0 in (2), we get
1
f (x,y) = f (0,0) + [x f x (0,0) + y f y (0,0)] + [ x 2 f xx (0,0) + 2xy f xy (0,0)

This is Maclaurin’s Expansion of f (x,y)
22. Expand e x log (1 + y) in powers of x and y up to terms of third degree.
Solution: Here
f (x,y) = e x log (1 + y) ∴ f (0,0) = 0
f x (x,y) = e x log (1 + y) ∴ f x (0,0) = 0
1
f y (x,y) = e x ∴ f y (0,0) = 1
1+ y
f xx (x,y) = e x log (1 + y) ∴ f xx (0,0) = 0
1
f xy (x,y) = e x ∴ f xy (0,0) = 1
1+ y

2011
f yy (x,y) = - e x (1 + y) -2 ∴ f yy (0,0) = -1
f xxx (x,y) = e x log (1 + y) ∴ f xxx (0,0) = 0
1
f xxy (x,y) = e x ∴ f xxy (0,0) = 1
1+ y
f xyy (x,y) = -e x (1 + y) 2 ∴ f xyy (0,0) = -1
f yyy (x,y) = 2e x (1 + y)-3 ∴ f yyy (0,0) = 2
Now, Maclaurin’s expansion of f (x,y) gives

f (x,y) = f (0,0) + x (f x (0,0) + y fy (0,0) + {x2 fxx (0,0) + 2xy fxy (0,0) +

Maxima and Minima:-

In mathematics, the maximum and minimum (plural: maxima and minima) of a
function, known collectively as extrema (singular: extremum), are the largest and
smallest value that the function takes at a point within a given neighborhood.
A function f (x, y) is said to have a Maximum value at (a,b) if their exists a

neighborhood point of (a,b) (say (a+h, b+k)) such that f (a, b) > f (a+h, b+k).
Similarly,
Minimum value at (a,b) if there exists a neighborhood point of (a,b) (say (a+h,
b+k)) such that f (a, b) < f (a+h, b+k).

fx =0 and fy =0 .
• Function will be minimum if AC-B2 > 0 and A > 0 at that
stationary point
• Function will be maximum if AC-B2 > 0 and A < 0 at that
stationary point

Definition:
The function Z = f (x,y) is said to posses a minimum at the point (a,b) if f (x,y) > f
(a,b) in the neighborhood of the point (a,b)
Necessary Condition for Maxima, Minima:
If Z = f (x,y) has a max or min at (a,b) then f x (a,b) = 0, fy (a,b) = 0
Sufficient Conditions for Maxima, Minima:
Put R = fxx (a,b), S = fxy (a,b), T = fyy (a,b)
(1) Suppose S2 – RT > 0
There is no maxima or minima at (a,b)
(2) Suppose S2 – RT < 0
Thus there is maxima or minima at (a,b) according as R < 0 Or R > 0
(3) Suppose S2 – RT = 0, Then there is a saddle point at (a,b)

26. Find the maxima and minima of the functions f (x,y) = x3 + y3 – 3axy, a > 0 is constant.
Solution: Given f (x,y) = x3 + y3 – 3axy
fx = 3x2 – 3ay, fy = 3y2 – 3ax
fxx = 6x fyy = 6y.
Put fx = 0, fy = 0 and solve
i.e., 3x2 – 3ay = 0 & 3y2 – 3ax = 0
i.e., x2 = ay & y2 = ax
2
x2 ⎛ x2 ⎞
⇒y= ∴ ⇒ ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ = ax (∵x2 = ay)

x4
∴ = ax
a2
∴ x4 = a3x
i.e., x (x3 – a3) = 0
∴ x = 0, x = a
⇒ y = 0, y = ± a
∴ The critical Or stationary points are (0,0), (a,a) and (a,-a)
(1) At (0,0)
R = fxx (0,0) = 0
S = fxy (0,0) = -3a
T = fyy (0,0) = 0
∴ S2 – RT = 9a2 – 0 = 9a2 > 0
∴ There is neither a maximum or a minimum at (0,0)

27. Examine the following functions for extreme values f = x4 + y4 – 2x2 + 4xy – 2y2
Solution:
fx = 4x3 – 4x + 4y
fy = 4y3 – 4x – 4y
fxy = 4, fxx = 12 x2 – 4, fyy = 12y2 – 4
Put fx = 0, fy = 0 and solve
i.e., 4x3 – 4x + 4y = 0 → (1)
4y3 + 4x – 4y = 0 → (2)
Adding (1) & (2), we get
4 (x3 + y3) = 0
i.e., x3 + y3 = 0
i.e., y = - x
Substitute y = -x in (1), we get
4x3 – 4x – 4x = 0
i.e., 4x3 – 8x = 0
i.e., x3 – 2x = 0 ⇒ x (x2 – 2) = 0
i.e., x = 0 & x2 – 2 =0
i.e., x = 0 & x = ± 2
x= 2,- 2
∴x = 0, 2 ,- 2 and corresponding values of y are y = 0, - 2, 2
∴ The critical points are (0,0), 2 ,- 2 , - 2, 2
(1) at (0,0)
R = fxx (0,0) = - 4

S = fxy (0,0) = 4
T = fyy (0,0) = -4
∴ S2 – RT = 16 – (-4) (-4) = 16 – 16 = 0
i.e., S2 – RT = 0, These is a saddle point at (0,0)
(2) at
2,- 2
R = fxx 2,- 2 =24– 4 = 20
S = fxy 2 ,- 2 =4
T = fyy 2 ,- 2 = 20
∴ S2 – RT = 16 – (20) (20) = 16 – 400 = -384 < 0
Thus these is neither maximum nor minimum according to R < 0 or R > 0 at 2,- 2
Hence R = 20 > 0
∴ There is a minimum at 2 ,- 2
∴ f min = ( 2 ) + (− 2 )

∴ the error in T = 1.5%.
(ii) If g is not a constant we have,

δT 1 ⎛ δl ⎞ 1 ⎛ δg ⎞
× 100 = ⎜ × 100 ⎟ − ⎜⎜ × 100 ⎟⎟
T 2⎝ l ⎠ 2⎝ g ⎠
The error in T will be maximum if the error in l is positive and the error in g is negative (or vice-
versa) as the difference in errors converts in to a sum.
⎛ δT ⎞ 1 1
∴ max ⎜ × 100 ⎟ = (+1) − (−3) = 2

∴ the maximum error in T is 2%.

i.e., = δθ
c sin 2θ
The relative error in c being δc / c minimum when the denominator of the R.H.S. is maximum
and the maximum value of a sine function is1.
∴ sin 2θ = 1 ⇒ 2θ = 90 0 or θ = 45 0 ⋅
Thus the relative error in c is minimum when θ = 450

sin A sin B sin C
or a = 2r sin A, b = 2r sin B, c = 2r sin C
⇒ δa = 2rδ (sin A), δb = 2rδ (sin B), δc = 2rδ (sin C )
i.e., δa = 2r cos AδA, δb = 2r cos BδB, δc = 2r cos CδC
δa δb δc

cos A cos B cos C
But A+B+C = 180 = π radians = constant.

Continuity & Differentiability

Some Fundamental Definitions

A function f (x) is defined in the interval I, then it is said to be continuous at a point x = a

1. Give the definitions of Continuity & Differentiability:

Solution: A function f (x) is said to be continuous at x = a, if corresponding to an arbitrary positive

⏐f (x) – f (a)⏐ < ε, where ⏐x - a⏐ < δ

(ii) Lt f (x) = f (a)

i.e, limiting value of the function at x = a is to the value of the function at x = a
