Note to the Students


The IIT-JEE is one of the hardest exams to crack for students, for a very simple
reason – concepts cannot be learned by rote, they have to be absorbed, and IIT
believes in strong concepts. Each question in the IIT-JEE entrance exam is meant
to push the analytical ability of the student to its limit. That is why the questions
are called brainteasers!
Students find Mathematics the most difficult part of IIT-JEE. We understand that
it is difficult to get students to love mathematics, but one can get students to
love succeeding at mathematics. In order to accomplish this goal, the book has
been written in clear, concise, and inviting writing style. It can be used as a self-
study text as theory is well supplemented with examples and solved examples.
Wherever required, figures have been provided for clear understanding.
If you take full advantage of the unique features and elements of this textbook,
we believe that your experience will be fulfilling and enjoyable. Let’s walk
through some of the special book features that will help you in your efforts to
crack IIT-JEE.
To crack mathematics paper for IIT-JEE the five things to remember are:
1. Understanding the concepts
2. Proper applications of concepts
3. Practice
4. Speed
5. Accuracy

About the Cover Picture


The picture on the cover is a Double Spiral Staircase at Saint Peters Basilica,
Vatican City. It is a classic example of double helix structure. A helix (is a type of
smooth space curve, i.e. a curve in three-dimensional space. It has the property
that the tangent line at any point makes a constant angle with a fixed line called
the axis. Examples of helixes are coil springs and the handrails of spiral staircases.
The word helix comes from the Greek word meaning twisted, curved.

A function associates one quantity –


argument or input of the function – with
another quantity – the value or output
of the function. Limit is used to describe
the value that a function or sequence “ap-
proaches” as the input approaches some
value.A sequence is a list of objects events
ordered in a sequential fashion such
that each member either comes before,
or after, every other member. A series
is a sum of a sequence of terms.

B. WORKED-OUT PROBLEMS AND ASSESSMENT – AS PER IIT-JEE PATTERN


Mere theory is not enough. It is also important to practice and test what has been
proved theoretically. The worked-out problems and exercise at the end of each
chapter are in resonance with the IIT-JEE paper pattern. Keeping the IIT-JEE
pattern in mind, the worked-out problems and exercises have been divided into:
1. Single Correct Choice Type Questions
2. Multiple Correct Choice Type Questions
3. Matrix-Match Type Questions
4. Comprehension-Type Questions
5. Assertion–Reasoning Type Questions
6. Integer Answer Type Questions

WORKED-OUT PROBLEMS
In-depth solutions are provided to all worked-out problems for students to understand the logic behind and

2 Chapter 0 Pre-Requisites

0.1 Sets
Even though we discussed set theory completely in Chapter 1 of Vol. 1, in this section, we recall some of the concepts,
symbols and theorems (for the convenience of the reader) which are going to be used throughout this volume. First,
we begin with some notations.

0.1.1 Notation
Suppose S is a set (i.e., a collection of objects enjoying a certain property).
1. The symbol  stands for “belongs to” or “is a member of”. a  S means a belongs to S or is a member of S.
2. The symbol Ž stands for “does not belong to”. a Ž S means a is not a member of S.
3. The symbols  and  stand for “there exists” and “such that”, respectively. Generally these two symbols go together,
for example,  real number x  x 2  2.
4. The symbol “” stands for “for all” or “for every”. For example, “x 2 is a positive integer  non-zero integer x”.
5. If S is the set of all objects satisfying a property P, then S is represented as

S = {x | x has property P}

6. The set having no objects is called the empty set or null set and is denoted by “E”.
7. If a set has only a finite number of members x1 , x2 ,… , xn , then we write

S  {x1 , x2 , {, xn }

0.1.2 Union and Intersection


Suppose A and B are sets. Then
1. The collection of all objects which either belong to A or belong to B is denoted by A ‡ B and is called union of A
and B. That is

A ‡ B  {x | x  A or x  B}

2. The collection of all objects which belong to both A and B is denoted by A † B and is called the intersection of A
and B. That is

A † B  {x | x  A or x  B}

0.1.3 Disjoint Sets


Two sets A and B are called disjoint sets if A † B  F.

0.1.4 Indexed Family of Sets


A family F of sets is called indexed family of sets if there exists a set I such that for each element i  I, there exists
unique member Ai in F associated with i and F  { Ai : i  I } or F  { Ai }i I . For example, if h is a house in Delhi and Ah
is the set of all persons belonging to the house h, then F  { Ah | h is a house in Delhi} is an indexed family of sets, the
index set being the set of all houses in Delhi.

0.1.5 Subset
We say that set A is a subset of set B and we write A ‹ B or B ˆ A, if every member of A is also a member of B. If
A ‹ B and A x B, then A is called proper subset of B.
www.jeeneetbooks.in
0.1 Sets 3

0.1.6 Power Set


If A is a set, then the set of all subsets of A is called the power set of A and is denoted by P(A).

QUICK LOOK 1

E and A belong to P(A).

0.1.7 Set Difference


Let A and B be two sets. Then the set A B is defined as

{x  A | x Ž B}

0.1.8 Universal Set


If { Ai }i I is a class of sets then the set X  ∪ Aiis called universal set of this family of sets { Ai }i I .
i I

0.1.9 Complement
If X is universal set and A ‹ X, then X A is called complement of A and is denoted by Aa or A or Ac .

QUICK LOOK 2

If A and B are any two subsets of universal set X, then


A B  A † B a  A † B  A † Bc

The following theorems are easy to prove.

T H E O R E M 0.1 Let A, B, C be sets. Then


1. ( A ‡ B) ‡ C  A ‡ ( B ‡ C )
2. ( A † B) † C  A † ( B † C )

4. A†F  F
5. A † ( B ‡ C )  ( A † B) ‡ ( A † C )

0.2 Real Numbers


Real analysis is considered to be the Brain of Mathematics. Real analysis makes us to think, analyze and solve
problems in mathematics. Knowingly or unknowingly we learned about real analysis and used various tools to
solve problems in real analysis including certain basic properties. As a process of recalling them from our acquired
earlier knowledge, let us begin with the binary operations in the real number system and list out some of their
properties.

0.2.1 Addition and Multiplication


 stands for the real number set (system). There are two binary relations (operations), namely, addition ( ) and mul-
tiplication (“) in . These relations have the following properties:
A1 : a, b    a b   (Closure property of )

A2 : a, b    a b  b a (Commutative property of )

A3 : (a b) c  a (b c)  a, b, c   (Associative property of )

A4 : a 0  a a   (Existence of additive identity for and 0 is the real number zero)

A5 : a ( a )  0  a   (Existence of additive inverse, a being the negative of a)

QUICK LOOK 3

We observe that 0 is the only real number satisfying A4 given a , then ( a) is the only real number satisfy-
(i.e., if A  and a A  a  a  , then A  0) and ing A5 (i.e., if a  , A   and a A  0, then A  a).

With regards to multiplication, we have the following properties:


M1 : a, b    a – b   (Closure property of multiplication)

M 2 : a, b    a – b  b – a (Commutative property of multiplication)

M 3 : (a – b) – c  a – (b – c) (Associativity property of multiplication)

M 4 : a –1  a  a   (Existence of multiplicative identity, where 1 is the usual one)


1
M5 : a –  1  a  , a x 0 (Existence of multiplicative inverse)
a
M 6 : If a, b, c , then a – (b c)  a – b a – c (Distributive law)
www.jeeneetbooks.in
0.2 Real Numbers 5

QUICK LOOK 4

We observe that 1 is the only real number satisfying M4 a x 0, 1/a is the only real number satisfying M5 (i.e., if
(i.e., if A  and a – A  a  a  , then @  1) and for a  , a x 0, A   and a – A  1, then A  1/ a).

CONVENTION: Here afterwards we will write ab for a – b.

Note: In view of A1 to A5 and M1 to M6, we can call  a field with respect to the two binary operations and – we
write (, , –) is a field.
In addition to the properties of + and –,  has another property called ordering which has typical proper-
ties. First, let us start with positive real numbers. The set of all positive real numbers is denoted by  , that is
  {a   | a  0}.

0.2.2 Properties of 
R1: If x, y   , then x y   .

R2: If x  and x x 0, then either x   or x   but not both.

R1: 0 Ž  .

0.2.3 Properties of (, , –, )


(, , –, ) is an ordered field having the following properties:
1. x, y , then x  y if and only if y x   .
2. x  y  y  x.
3. x b y means either x  y or x  y.
4. If x, y , then exactly one of x  y, x  y, x  y holds.
5. If x, y, z  , x  y, and y  z, then x  z.
6. Also 1  0.

0.2.4 Inductive Set


 as well as  denote the set of positive integers (positive integers are also called natural numbers).  has the
following properties:
1. 1 .
2. If n , then n 1  .
Suppose S is a set of real numbers such that
1. 1 S.
2. s  S implies s 1  S .
Then S is called an inductive set.

QUICK LOOK 5

1.  is an inductive set. 2. If S is an inductive set, then  ‹ S and hence  is


the smallest inductive set.

Notation:  denotes the set of all integers. That is


   ‡ {0} ‡ ( )
where   { n | n  }.

0.3 Bounded Set, Least Upper Bound and Greatest Lower Bound
In this section, we introduce the concept of a bounded set of real numbers, least upper bound, and greatest lower
bound of a set S. Let us begin with the following definition

DEFINITION 0.1 Let S be a non-empty subset of . A real number x is said to be a lower bound of S if x b y for
every y  S . If S has at least one lower bound, then we say that S is bounded below. If x is a lower
bound of S and x  S , then we say that x is the least or minimum member (element) of S.

Examples

1. If S  {x   | 0 b x b 1}, then 0 (zero) is a lower bound 3. If T  {x   | 0  x  1}, then 0 is a lower bound but it
and it is the least element of S. is not least element of T (since 0 ŽT ).
2. For the set , 1 is the least element of .

DEFINITION 0.2 Let S be a set of real numbers. A real number z is called an upper bound of S, if s b z for all
s  S . If S has at least one upper bound, then we say that S is bounded above. If z is an upper
bound of S and z  S , then z is called greatest (maximum) element of S.

Examples

1. S  {x   | x  3} is bounded above without greatest 2. T  [1/ n | n  ] is bounded above, 1 is the greatest


element (since 3 Ž S ). element and T has no least element.

DEFINITION 0.3 Bounded Set A set S of real numbers is said to be bounded, if S is both bounded below and
bounded above.

DEFINITION 0.4 Greatest Lower Bound, g.l.b. Suppose that S is bounded below and x is a lower bound of S.
If y is a lower bound of S which implies y b x, then x is called greatest lower bound of S and
x is denoted by g.l.b. S.

QUICK LOOK 6

A real number x is a g.l.b. S if and only if x is a lower bound of S and any real number y  x cannot be a lower
bound of S.

DEFINITION 0.5 Least Upper Bound, l.u.b. Suppose S is bounded above set. A real number z is called least
upper bound of S (l.u.b. S) if z is an upper bound of S and y is also an upper bound of S then
y r z.

QUICK LOOK 7

A real number u is l.u.b of a set S if and only if u is an upper bound of S and any number less than u cannot be an
upper bound of S.

0.4 Completeness Property of  and Archimedes’ Principle


In this section we state the so-called completeness property of  and the Archimedes’ principle and discuss how well
ordering principle in  leads to the concept of the integral part of a real number. We will also mention some of its
properties. Let us begin with the completeness of .

(C O M P L E T E N E S S in .

Generally l.u.b of S is called supremum of S and the completeness property of  is called
OF  )
supremum property of . From the completeness property (or supremum property) of , we
can conclude the following.

T H E O R E M 0.5 1. Every non-empty set S of  which is bounded below has g.l.b. (also called infimum).
2. S is bounded below if and only if S  { x | x  S } is bounded above and g.l.b. S  l.u.b.
( S).
3. If S and T are non-empty subsets of  and x  S , y T  x b y, then S is bounded above,
T is bounded below and l.u.b. S b g.l.b. T .

0.4.1 Archimedes’ Principle


Statement: If x is a real number and y is a positive real number, then there exists a positive integer n such that x  ny.
As a consequence of Archimedes’ principle we have the following theorem.

T H E O R E M 0.6 1. If x, y are integers, then x + y and xy are also integers.


2. If x is an integer, then there is no integer between x and x 1. That is, if x  y  x 1, then y
cannot be an integer.
3. If S is a non-empty subset of  ( is the set of all integers) which is bounded above, then
l.u.b. S is in S. Similarly, if S is bounded below, then S has minimum (least) element.

From part (3) of Theorem 0.6, we have the following property called well ordering principle.

T H E O R E M 0.7
(W ELL O RDERING Every non-empty subset of the natural number set  has minimum (or least) element.

From the well ordering principle, we have the following theorem which is the base for the concept of integral part of
a real number.

T H E O R E M 0.8 If x , then there exists a unique integer n such that n b x  n 1.

DEFINITION 0.8 Let x . Then the unique integer n (guaranteed by Theorem 0.8) such that n b x  n 1 is
called the integral part of x and is denoted by [x]. In other words, [x] is the largest integer not
exceeding x.

A function associates one quantity –


argument or input of the function – with
another quantity – the value or output
of the function. Limit is used to describe
the value that a function or sequence
“approaches” as the input approaches
some value. A sequence is a list of ob-
jects/events ordered in a sequential fash-
ion such that each member either comes
before, or after, every other member. A
series is a sum of a sequence of terms.

14 Chapter 1 Functions, Limits, Continuity, Sequences and Series

Calculus is a part of Mathematical Analysis which was developed by Issac Newton (1642–1727), Gottfried Leibniz
(1646–1716), Leonhard Euler (1707–1783), Augustin–Louis Cauchy (1789–1857) and Karl Weierstrass (1815–1897).
The world of Mathematics came to know that Calculus was the brain child of both Newton and Leibniz who developed
it simultaneously without knowing each other and was improved by Euler, Cauchy and Weierstrass. It was Weierstrass
who gave the precise definition of limit and more teeth to continuity and differentiability. It was he who constructed a
function which is continuous for all real values of x but not differentiable at any real value of x.

1.1 Functions: Varieties


Even though the general notion of a function, real-valued functions and operations among real-valued functions were
exhaustively studied in Chapter 1 of Vol. 1 (Algebra), for completeness sake, we recall some of the basic definitions
and results (possibly without proofs) here. This process is undertaken to facilitate the reader to have immediate refer-
ence. Let us begin with the definition of a function.

DEFINITION 1.1 Suppose A and B are two non-empty sets A s B  {(a, b) | a  A, b  B} is the set of ordered
pairs of A and B and is called the Cartesian product of A and B.

DEFINITION 1.2 Any non-empty subset S of A s B is called a function if


(i) a  A   b  B such that (a, b)  S
(ii) (a, b1)  S, (a, b2)  S  b1  b2
We also say that S is a map or mapping. If S ‹ A s B is a function, then
(i) A is called the domain of S and B is called codomain of S.
(ii) {b  B | (a, b)  S} is called the range of S.
If (a, b)  S, it is customary to denote b by S(a). We observe that S(a) is unique for a given
a  A and S  {(a, S(a)) | a  A}. S(a) is called the value or image of S at a. If S(a)  b, then a
is called the preimage of b. Generally, we write S: A m B and say that S is a function defined
on A with values in B.

DEFINITION 1.3 Equal Functions If S : A m B and T : A m B are functions such that S(a)  T(a) for every
a  A, then we say that S and T are equal and we write S  T.

For convenience sake, we use the symbol f for a function. Thus, f : A m B is taken as a function. For our purpose,
in general, A is a subset of  and B  . When this is the case, that is f : A m  where A ‹ , then f is a real-valued
function from the subset A of .

In the following definition we introduce operations on the set of real-valued functions defined on a common domain,
a subset of real numbers.

define the sum f g, the product f – g, the quotient f /g , f and [ f ] ([–] is integral part) as
follows:

g : B m C are functions, then we define the function g  f : A m C as
( g  f )( x)  g( f ( x))  x  A
g  f is called composite function of g and f. Note that g  f may be defined but f  g may not

1.2 Functions and Their Inverse


In this section, we once again recall from Vol. 1 (Algebra) the notions of one-one, onto and bijective functions. Further
we introduce the concept of the inverse of a bijective function and their properties.

DEFINITION 1.8 Let A and B be two non-empty subsets of . Let f : A m B be a function. Then

f (a)  b. Then g is called the inverse function of f and is denoted by f 1.

Note: Even though a function f : A m B may not be a bijection, sometimes f is restricted to a suitable subset of A so
that f restricted to that subset has inverse function from the range of f to the restricted domain. The following is an
illustration of this.

1.3 Even and Odd Functions, Periodic Functions


Let f :  m  defined by f (x)  x2, then we can observe f ( x)  f ( x)  x . Functions satisfying this property are called
even functions. Functions satisfying the property f ( x)  f (x), for example f (x)  x3, are called odd functions. Functions
satisfying the property f (x T)  f (x) whenever x and x T are in the domain of f and T  0 are called periodic functions.
In this section, we give precise definitions of these and state some of their properties. Let us begin with the following.

DEFINITION 1.11 Symmetric Set Let X be a non-empty subset of . Then X is called symmetric set if
x  X š x  X

Examples 1.7

1.  is a symmetric set. 4. [0, 1] is not a symmetric set.


2. [ 1, 1] is a symmetric set. 5. { 1, 0, 1} is a symmetric set.
3. The set of rational numbers and the set  of all
integers are symmetric sets.

Note: The real number 0 need not belong to a symmetric set. For example, the set { 1, 1} is a symmetric set without 0
and [ 1, 0) ‡ (0, 1] is a symmetric set not containing the element 0.

DEFINITION 1.12 Even Function Let X be a symmetric set and f : X m  be a function. If f ( x)  f (x)  x  X,
then f is called an even function.

Examples 1.8

1. f : m  defined by f ( x)  x is an even function 3. f : m  defined by f (x)  cos x is an even function,


because x  x  x . because cos( x)  cos x.
2. f (x)  x2 is an even function from  to  because
( x)2  x 2  x  .

DEFINITION 1.13 Odd Function If X is a symmetric set, then f : X m  is called an odd function if f ( x) 
f (x) for all x  X.

1.3 Even and Odd Functions, Periodic Functions 19

Examples 1.9

1. f :  m  defined by f (x)  x3 is an odd function 3. Let X  [ 2, 1] ‡ [1, 2] and define f : X m  as f (x) 


because ( x)3  x 3  x  . x3 so that f is an odd function.
2. f :  m  defined by f (x)  sin x is an odd function
because sin( x)  sin x.

Note: If X is a symmetric set having the element 0 and f : X m  is an odd function, then f (0) is necessarily zero,
because
f (0)  f ( 0)  f (0)
In part (3) of the example above, the set X  [ 2, 1] ‡ [1, 2] does not contain 0, so f (0) cannot exist.
The statements stated in the following theorem can be easily verified [see pp. 56, 57 of Chapter 1, Vol. 1
(Algebra)].

T H E O R E M 1.2 Let X be a symmetric set and f and g be functions from X into . Then
1. If both f and g are even (both are odd), then so is f p g.
2. If both f and g are even (both are odd), then fg is even.
3. If one of f and g is even and the other is odd, then fg is odd.
4. f is even if and only if K f is even for any non-zero real K.
5. f is odd if and only if K f is odd for any non-zero real K.
6. f is even (odd) if and only if f is even (odd).
7. If f : X m  is any function, then the function
f ( x) f ( x)
g( x)  is even
2
f ( x) f ( x)
h( x)  is odd
2
and f (x)  g(x) h(x)
Here g(x) is called even part of f and h(x) is called odd part of f (x). Further g (x) and h(x) are
unique.

DEFINITION 1.14 Periodic Function Let A be a non-empty subset of . If there exists a positive number p
such that f (x p)  f (x) whenever x and x p belong to A, then f is called a periodic function
and p is called a period of f. The smallest period (if it exists) is called the period of f.

Note:
1. A function can be periodic without smallest period. For example, f :  m  defined by f ( x)  k  x  is a peri-
odic function, but it has no smallest period.
2. If p is a period of a function f, then np is also a period of f where n is any positive integer.

Examples 1.10

3. Define f :  m  by f (n 2)  2  f (n). Hence, in either case f (n 2)  f (n)
for all n . Therefore, 2 is the period of f.

T H E O R E M 1.3 Let n  1 be an integer. If m is any integer, there exists an integer K and a non-negative integer r
(E U C L I D ’ S such that m  Kn r, r  {0, 1, 2, …, (n 1)}.
ALGORITHM)

One can observe that when m is divided by n, K is the quotient and r is the remainder. The following is the finest
example of a periodic function.

DEFINITION 1.15 Congruence Function Let n  1 be an integer. Define f :  m  by f (m)  r for m  and
r is the remainder when m is divided by n. Then for any m ,
f (m n)  f ((Kn r ) n)
 f ((K 1)n r )
 r (∵ 0 b r b n 1)
 f (m)
Thus, f (m n)  f (m). Therefore, n is the period of f. The function f is denoted by ( n) so that
( n) (m)  r , where r is the remainder when m is divided by n. We call this function as congru-
ence function with index n. For example
«0 if m is even
((2m))  ¬
­1 if m is odd
is a congruence function with index 2.

Try it out If p1, p2 are periods of f1(x) and f2(x), respectively, and there exist positive integers m and n such that
mp1  np2  p, then p is a period of af1(x) bf2(x) for all non-zero constants a and b.

DEFINITION 1.16 Step Function Suppose f : [a, b] m  is a function. Further suppose that a  a0  a1
 a2  {  an 1  an  b. If there exist constants k1, k2, …, kn such that ki 1  ki for i  2,
3, …, n and f (x)  ki for x  [ai 1, ai] for i  1, 2, …, n, then f is called the step function on
[a, b] with steps k1, k2, …, kn.
We observe that a step function assumes only finite number of values, that is range of a step function is a finite set.

functions.

1.4 Graphs of Functions


The concept of function is introduced where the domains and codomains may be any sets. However, for calculus we
consider those functions (real-valued functions) where the domain and codomain both are non-empty subsets of .
In the category of real-valued functions, in this section we introduce the idea of graph of a function which is helpful in
studying some vital clues of the function. In this pursuit, we consider a plane in which we set up x-axis and y-axis; this
plane is called the xy-plane.

DEFINITION 1.17 Graph of a Function Let S be a non-empty subset of  and f : S m  a function. Then
f  {( x, f ( x)) | x  S} can be regarded as a set of points on the xy-plane, with x as x-coordinate
and f (x) as y-coordinate. Keeping this in mind, in general, it is possible to plot the set of points
{( x, f ( x)) | x  S} on the xy-plane. The resultant figure on the xy-plane is called the graph of f.

For almost all functions we have discussed, we can plot their graphs.

Example 1.1

in Fig. 1.5.

Note:
1. Observe that a graph may not give rise to a function. For example, look at the graph of Fig. 1.6 which shows that
(1/2, a) and (1/2, b) are points on the graph. Since a x b, 1/2 has two images.

1.5 Construction of Graphs and Transforming Theorem


In this section, we illustrate the process of drawing graphs of functions of the form y  K f (ax b) L, where K, L, a
and b are some real numbers from the graph of the given function y  f (x). Suppose f : [a, b] m  is a function. Then
the set of points on the graph of f are given by
www.jeeneetbooks.in
24 Chapter 1 Functions, Limits, Continuity, Sequences and Series

{( x, f ( x)) | x [a, b]}


In other words, if we write y  f (x), then the graph of f is the set of points
{( x, y) | y  f ( x), x [a, b]}

1.5.1 Transformation of y-Coordinate by a Constant


Suppose k  and the function f is changed or transformed to f (x) k. That is, now we have a new function g : [a, b] m 
defined by
g (x)  f (x) k  x  [a, b]
By this transformation, the graph of f is transformed to the set of points
{( x, g( x)) | x [a, b]}  {( x, f ( x) k ) | x [a, b]}
 {( x, y k ) | y  f ( x), x [[a, b]}
In other words, the point (x, y) on the graph of y  f (x) is changed to (x, y k) [see Fig. 1.8(a)]. Hence the graph of f
and the transformed graph of f (i.e., the graph of g) look like as shown in Fig. 1.8(b). This is a simple transformation
where the y-coordinate y is changed to y k.

f (x) and y  f (x k) in general [Fig. 1.11(a)] and in particular y  x2 and y  (x 1)2 [Fig. 1.11(b)].

In this we have k  1, 0  k  1 and k  0. The point (x, f (x)) will be transformed to (x, kf (x)).
1. If k  1, the graph of y  kf (x) is an expansion of y  f (x) [Fig. 1.12(a)].
2. If 0  k  1, then the graph is a contraction [Fig. 1.12(b)].

1.6 Limit of a Function


In this section, we introduce the concept of a function which is the root for the entire development of calculus (in gen-
eral, for Mathematical Analysis), the concepts of left and right limits of a function, graphical meaning of the limit and
discuss limits of some standard functions. Further, we assume the limits of some functions whose proofs are beyond
the scope of this book. First, let us begin with the concept of an interior point of an interval and neighbourhood of a
point on the real line .

DEFINITION 1.18 Interior Point If [a, b] is a closed interval and a  c  b, then c is called an interior point of
the interval [a, b].

DEFINITION 1.19 Neighbourhood Let c be an interior point of a closed interval [a, b] and D  min{c a, b c} so
that (c D, c D ) ‹ (a, b). If 0  C  D, then the interval (c C, c C ) is called C -neighbourhood
of c. The intervals (c C, c) and (c, c C ) are called left and right C -neighbourhoods, respec-
tively, of c.

DEFINITION 1.20 Limit Let c be an interior point of [a, b] and f a real-valued function defined on [a, b] (pos-
sibly except at c). Let l be a real number. If to each D  0, there corresponds a small positive
number C such that (c C, c C ) ‹ (a, b) and f ( x) l  D (equivalently l D  f (x)  l D )
for all x  (c C, c C ) and x x c then we say that f (x) tends to l as x tends c. In this case we
write
f (x) m l as x m c or lim f ( x)  l or Lt f ( x)  l
xmc xmc

DEFINITION 1.21 Right Limit Suppose a b c  b and f is a real-valued function defined on (a, b) (possibly
except at c). Suppose there exists a real number l such that to each D  0 there corresponds a
C  0 such that (c, c C ) ‹ (a, b) and f ( x) l  D for all x  (c, c C ). Then we say that limit
of f as x approaches c from the right side is l. In this case we write
lim f ( x)  l or Lt f ( x)  l
xmc 0 xmc 0
www.jeeneetbooks.in
1.6 Limit of a Function 27

DEFINITION 1.22 Left Limit Suppose a  c b b and f is a real-valued function defined on (a, b) (possibly except
at c). Suppose there exists a real number l such that to each D  0, there corresponds a C  0
such that (c C, c) ‹ (a, b) and f ( x) l  D  x (c D , c). Then we say that f approaches l
from the left of c and we write
lim f ( x)  l or Lt f ( x)  l
xm c 0 xmc 0

The concept of limit can be explained lucidly using the graph of the function (see Fig. 1.14). Given a neighbour-
hood ND (l)  (l D, l D ) of l, there exists a neighbourhood NC (c)  (c C, c C ) such that the rectangle formed
by the two vertical lines at c C, c C and the horizontal lines drawn at l D , l D contain some part of the graph
of y  f (x).

In any case x  (c C, c C ) implies

1.7 Some Useful Inequalities


Students at the 10 2 level need the limit of (xn an)/(x a) as x m a where 0  a and n is a rational number. In fact
this limit is nan 1. For completeness sake, here we want to prove that (xn an)/(x a) m nan 1 as x m a for any real
number n. For this, we have to use certain basic inequalities which we discuss in this section.

T H E O R E M 1.16 Suppose k and n are positive integers, n r 1 and 0  c x 1. Then


(n k) (cn 1)  n(cn k 1)

and c n 1 c n 2 ... c 1  c

n

c n  nc n 1
...

( n times)

Therefore
k(c n 1 c n 2 ... c 1)  (c k 1 c k 2 ... c 1)nc n
On multiplying both sides with c 1, we get
k(cn 1)  (ck 1)ncn
Adding n(cn 1) to both sides we get
(n k)(cn 1)  (ck 1)ncn n(cn 1)  n(cn k 1)
Therefore
(n k)(cn 1)  n(cn k 1) (1.16)
Case II: Let 0  c  1. Then
c k 1 c k 2 ... c 1 b k
and c n 1 c n 2 ... c 1  nc n
Therefore
nc n (c k 1 c k 2 ... c 1)  k(c n 1 c n 2 ... c 1)
Multiplying both sides with (1 c)  0, we get that
ncn(1 ck)  k(1 cn)
or ncn(ck 1)  k(cn 1)
Now, adding n(cn 1) to both sides we get
(n k)(cn 1)  n(cn k 1) (1.17)
From Eqs. (1.16) and (1.17), we obtain the desired inequality.

Note: From Theorem 1.16, we have the following theorem.

Hence f (x) m @ a@ 1 as x m a when @  1. Now suppose 0  @  1 or @  0. Then by parts (1) and

1.8 Continuity
In this section, we give a precise definition of the most important concept of continuity of a real-valued function at
a point of its domain and extend it to its domain. The notion of continuity of a function has occupied central stage in
mathematical analysis and it will be used extensively in the coming sections of this volume. The term “continuous” is
in practice since the time of Newton, but was not defined precisely until the 19th century.
Bernhard Bolzano in 1817 and Augustin–Louis Cauchy in 1821 came to know that continuity of a function is an
important property and gave the definition. Since the concept of continuity of a function at a point is linked with the
concept of limit, Karl Weierstrass carefully proposed proper definition of continuity in 1870s. In this section we will
first explain the concepts of continuity at a point and continuous function and then discuss the properties of continu-
ous functions. Linguistically, continuous means no break. Loosely speaking, a continuous function means, a function
whose graph can be drawn on a paper without lifting the hand from the plane of the paper.

DEFINITION 1.23 Continuity at a Point Let f : [a, b] m  be a function and a  c  b.


1. We say that f is continuous at the point c if
lim f ( x)  f (c)
xmc

2. f is continuous at the left end point a if lim f ( x)  f (a). In such case we say that f is right
xma 0
continuous at a.
3. f is said to be continuous at the right end point b if lim f ( x)  f (b). In such case we say
x mb 0
that f is left continuous at b.

DEFINITION 1.24 Continuous Function A function f : [a, b] m  is said to be a continuous function if f is


continuous at every point of [a, b] (including a and b). We say that f is discontinuous at c if f
is not continuous at c.

1.9 Properties of Continuous Functions


In this section we will explore the properties of continuous function defined on a closed interval [a, b] where a and b
are real numbers and a  b.

DEFINITION 1.25 A function f : [a, b] m  is said to be bounded on [a, b] if the range of f in  is bounded
subset of  (for bounded subset, see Definition 0.3).

Thus f : [a, b] m  is bounded if the range set f ([a, b]) is bounded in . That is, if there exist constants @ and A such
that @ b f (x) b A  x [a, b]. In fact, if f is bounded, then both l.u.b. f ( x) and g.l.b. f ( x) exist and they are finite real
x [ a, b] x [ a, b]
numbers. Also f is bounded if and only if f is bound on [a, b], because
@ b f ( x) b A  A b f ( x) b @
 f ( x) b Max{A , @ }  x [a, b]
 f is bounded

1.9 Properties of Continuous Functions 55

DEFINITION 1.26 Suppose f : [a, b] m  is a function. If there exists x


 [a, b] such that
f (x
) b f (x) x  [a, b]
then x
is called a point of absolute minimum of f on [a, b] and f (x
) is called the absolute
minimum of f on [a, b]. Similarly, if x

 [a, b] is such that


f (x) b f (x

)  x [a, b]
then x

is called a point of absolute maximum of f in [a, b] and f (x

) is called the absolute


maximum of f on [a, b].

QUICK LOOK 7

If f : [a, b] m  has absolute minimum and absolute maximum, then f is bounded on [a, b].

We now state and prove that a continuous function on a closed interval [a, b] (a and b are real) is bounded and we
show that the continuity of f on closed interval is essential.

T H E O R E M 1.31 Suppose a and b are real numbers and a  b. If f : [a, b] m  is a continuous function, then f is
bounded.
PROOF Suppose f is not bounded. Then either f is not bounded below or f is not bounded above. Since f
is continuous at a, to the positive number 1 there corresponds a C  0 such that a C  b and
f ( x) f (a)  1  x [a, a D ]
so that
f ( x)  1 f (a)  x [a, a D ]

Thus f and hence f is bounded in [a, a C ]. Let


S  {c (a, b) f is bounded in (a, c)}
Then clearly S is non-empty because a C  S and also S is bounded above. Let K be the l.u.b. S.
We observe that c  (a, K)  c  S. Suppose K  b. Since f is continuous at K, corresponding to 1,
there exists a C1  0 such that
a  K C1  K C1  b
and f ( x ) f ( L )  1  x ; L D 1 , L D 1 =

Therefore, f is bounded on [K C1, K C1] and hence it is bounded on [a, K C1]. Thus K C1  S such
that K C1 b K, a contradiction (because K is the l.u.b. S). Therefore L  b and hence K  b.
Again since f is continuous at b, to 1 there corresponds a C2  0 such that a  b C2  b and
f ( x) f (b)  1  x [b D 2 , b]
so that f is bounded on [b C2, b]. Clearly b C2  S because b  K is the l.u.b. S. Hence b  S. Thus
f is bounded on [a, b].

Note: The following examples illustrate that a continuous function defined on an open interval (a, b) or semi-open
interval (a, b] or [a, b) need not be bounded.

Examples 1.49

1. Define f : (0, 1] m  by f ( x)  1/x. 3. Define h : (0, 1) m  by h( x) m 1/x(1 x).


2. Define g : [0, 1) m  by g( x)  1/1 x. One can see that f, g, h are continuous functions but not
bounded.

Now, let
S  {t [a, b] f ( x)  L  x [a, t ]}
Clearly, from what we have established above, it follows that
a C1  S and hence S x E (1.28)
Further,
t  S, a b s  t  s  S (1.29)
Clearly S is bounded above by b. Let @  l.u.b. S so that by Eq. (1.29)
[a , @) ‹ S (1.30)
From Eq. (1.28),
a  a C1 b @ (1.31)
Since f is continuous at b, corresponding to the positive number [ f (b) K]/2, there exists C2  0
such that a  b C2  b and x  [b C2, b]. This implies
f (b) L
f ( x) f (b) 
2
f (b) L

Thus a  @  b and further

Now, f (@)  K as in Eq. (1.28), there exists C3  0 such that
K f (@ )

so that by Eq. (1.30), @ C3  S, which is a contradiction. Hence f (@)  K. Thus f assumes the

PROOF Suppose f (x) x M  x  [a, b]. Then M f (x)  0 for all x  [a, b]. Write g(x)  M f (x). Then
g(x) is continuous on [a, b], and does not vanish on [a, b]. Hence 1/g is continuous on [a, b] [see

1. From Theorems 1.31, 1.32 and 1.33 we have that 2. Theorem 1.33 may not be true if the interval is not

is bounded, attains its bounds and assumes every x  ( 0,1)

C OROLLARY 1.10 Suppose f : [a, b] m  is continuous and f (a) f (b)  0. Then, there exists x  (a, b) such that

PROOF Since f (a) f (b)  0, m  g.l.b. f ( x)  0 and M  l.u.b. f ( x)  0, hence 0  [m, M]. Now the result

Note: Graphically f (a) f (b)  0 means that the graph of y  f (x) (see Fig. 1.19) must cross the

PROOF Define g(x)  f (x) x  x  [0, 1] which is also continuous on [0, 1] with g(0) f r 0 and g(1)

If either h(a)  0 or h(b)  0, then the theorem is proved. If h(a) x 0 h and h(b) x 0, then by

1.10 Infinite Limits


So far we considered the limit of a function at a point, keeping in mind that the limit is a real number, so that the
function is bound in a deleted neighbourhood of that point (Corollary 1.1). We now consider cases where (i) f is not
bounded or (ii) f is bounded, but the neighbourhood is infinite.

DEFINITION 1.27 Suppose a  c  b and f is a function defined on [a, b] except possibly at c.


1. Suppose to a positive number D (however large), there corresponds C  0 such that (c C,
c C ) ‹ [a, b] and x  (c C, c C ), x x c  f (x)  D . Then we say that f (x) tends to infinity
as x m c and write lim f ( x)  d or f (x) m d as x m c.

2. Suppose to a positive number D (however large), there corresponds C  0 such that (c C,
c C ) ‹ [a, b] and x  (c C, c C ), x x c  f (x)  D . Then we say that f (x) tends to minus
infinity as x m c and we write lim f ( x)  d or f (x) m d as x m c.
x mc
3. If to D  0, there corresponds C  0 such that (c C, c) ‹ [a, b] and x  (c C, c)  f (x)  D ,
then we say that f (x) tends to d as x tends c from the left side and write lim f ( x)  d or
xmc 0
f (x) m d as x m c 0. In a similar way, we define the right limit at c.
4. If to D  0, there corresponds a C  0 such that (c C, c) ‹ [a, b] and x  (c C, c)  f (x)
 D, then we say that f (x) tends to d as x m c 0 and write lim f ( x)  d.
x mc 0
5. The notions of left infinite limit can be extended to the right infinite limit as follows:
(a) If to each D  0 there corresponds a C  0 such that (c, c C ) ‹ [a, b] and x  (c, c C )
 f (x)  D, then we write lim f ( x)  d or f (x) m d as x m c 0.

(b) If to each D  0, there corresponds a C  0, such that (c, c C ) ‹ [a, b] and x  (c, c C )

1.11 Sequences and Series


In this section we define a sequence, limit of a sequence, obtain tests for convergence of a sequence and Cauchy’s gen-
eral principle of convergence. We see a sequence as a function from the set  (or  ) of positive integers (sometimes
from the set W of non-negative integers) into the set  of real numbers.
As a sequel, we define series as a sum of elements of a sequence, attach a meaning to the sum and obtain some tests
for convergence of series.
In this process, we also find a link between the convergence of a function to a limit at a point and convergence of
a sequence of functional values to that limit at that point. Finally, we end this with a condition for a function to be
continuous at a point of its domain with the aid of sequence.

DEFINITION 1.30 Let   {1, 2, 3, {} be the set of all positive integers. Suppose f :  m  is a function. Then the

term of the sequence.
It is customary to denote the functional value f (n) by xn (x may be replaced by any other letter). Thus {xn} is a sequence

If a sequence is not bounded, then it is not convergent. For example, the sequence {xn} where xn  n 1, n  1, 2,

The following theorem on convergence of a monotonic sequence (i.e., either increasing or decreasing) is useful.

T H E O R E M 1.42 1. Every increasing sequence, which is bounded above, is convergent and converges to its l.u.b.
2. Every decreasing sequence, which is bounded below, is convergent and converges to its g.l.b.
PROOF 1. Let {xn} be an increasing sequence so that x1 b x2 b x3 b…. Thus {xn} is bounded below.
Now, suppose {xn} is bounded above and let @ be the l.u.b. {xn}. Let D  0. Then @ D  @
and @ D is not an upper bound of {xn}. Hence there exists a positive integer N such that
@ D  xN so that @ D  xN  @ @ D . Since {xn} is increasing with l.u.b. @, xN b xn b @

T H E O R E M 1.44 If a subsequence of a monotonically increasing sequence converges to a limit, then the


sequence itself converges to the same limit.

xnk b xn b xnp b l  xn l b xnk l  D

we assume that “Every sequence of real numbers contains a monotonic subsequence” (i.e., either increasing or de-
creasing).

C OROLLARY 1.12 Suppose a  c  b, f : [a, b] m  is a function and f is continuous at c. If {xn} is a sequence in [a, b]
and xn m c as n m d, then f (xn) m f (c) as n m d.
PROOF In Theorem 1.50 take l  f (c). Then the result follows even if xn  c for some n s.

THEOREM 1.51 Suppose a  c  b, f : ; a, b= m  is a function and l . Further suppose that whenever a
sequence {xn} ‹ [a, b], xn x c, is such that xn m c as n m d implies that f (xn) m l as x m c, then

1.12 Infinite Series


In this section, we introduce the concept of an infinite series, its sum, convergent and divergent series with the aid of
the sequences. Also we give few tests to determine convergence or divergence of a series.

DEFINITION 1.37 Infinite Series Suppose {xn} is a sequence of real numbers. Then the series x1 x2 x3 ... is
d
called an infinite series. ¤ xn stands for the infinite series x1 x2 x3 .... Here n is only a
d
n 1
variable and we may equally write ¤ xm .
m 1
n d
Note: ¤ xi  x1 x2 ... xn is a finite sum. As it is, the symbol ¤ xn has no meaning, but we attach a meaning to
i 1 n 1
this symbol in certain situation as follows.

DEFINITION 1.38 Let ¤ xn be an infinite series. Write

sn  ¤x
i 1
i  x1 x2 ... xn

which is the sum of the first n terms x1 x2 ... xn . This sequence {sn} is called the sequence
d
of partial sums of the series ¤ xn .
n 1

1. If the sequence {sn} converges, say to s, then we say that the infinite series converges to s and
has the sum s. In this case we write 3xn  s.
2. If sn diverges to d (or d) then we say that 3xn diverges to d (or d).

Notation: Suppose {xn}, {yn} are two sequences of real numbers. Then 3( xn yn ), 3L xn , L   are the series associated
with the sequences {xn yn} and {Kxn}.

Note: It can be shown, as we did in the case of sequences, that if 3xn  s and 3yn  t, then 3(xn yn)  s t and 3K xn  K s.

T H E O R E M 1.53 Let 3xn be the series. Then a necessary and sufficient condition for 3xn to converge is that to

P ROOF Let sn  x1 x2 ... xn . Then 3xn converges if and only if sn converges and {sn} converges; that
is, by Theorem 1.48, if and only if to D  0, there corresponds a positive integer N(D ) such that
sm sn  D whenever m  n  N(D ). This implies
xn 1 xn 2 ... xm  sm sn for m  n  N (D )

Thus the result follows.

The following theorem is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the convergence of a series.

T H E O R E M 1.54 If 3xn converges, then xn m 0 as n m d.

P ROOF Suppose 3xn converges. Let D  0. Then there exists a positive integer N(D ) such that sm sn  D

xn 1  sn 1 sn  D for n  N (D )

Hence xn m 0 as n m d.

DEFINITION 1.39 If xn r 0 n, then ¤ xn is called series of non-negative terms and if xn  0  n then ¤ xn is called
series of positive terms.

Note: If 3xn is a series of non-negative terms, then the sequence {sn} of partial sums is an increasing sequence of
non-negative terms so that either {sn} converges in which case 3xn converges or {sn} diverges to d in which case 3xn
diverges to d.

The following theorem is called comparison test for the convergence or divergence of series.

Then xn b yn  n  sn b tn and {sn}, {tn} are increasing sequences. Therefore by Theorem 1.47
{tn} converges  {sn} converges

then either both 3xn and 3yn are both convergent or both divergent.

2. If there exists a positive integer N such that xn1/n r 1 for n r N, then 3xn diverges.
PROOF 1. Suppose xn1/n b L (0, 1) for n r N. Then xn b Kn for n r N and 3Kn is convergent (Example
1.44 taking a  1). Therefore by Theorem 1.55, 3xn is convergent.
2. Suppose xn1/n r 1 for n r N so that xn r 1 for n r N. Hence, xn does not tend to zero. Consequently,
3xn diverges (by Theorem 1.54).

so that xn 1  Kn N xN 1. Therefore 3xn converges since ¤L xN 1  xN 1 ¤ L n N converges.
2. By hypothesis xn 1  xn  xn 1  ...  xN 1  0 for n  N. So 3xN 1  3xn 1 and 3xn 1 diverges.
Hence 3xn 1 diverges and consequently 3xn diverges.

2.1 Derivatives: An Introduction


Until the 17th century, a curve was described as a locus of points satisfying certain geometric conditions. It seems that
mathematicians realized that all the curves cannot be described using geometrical conditions. To overcome this, Ana-
lytical Geometry was created and developed by Rene’ Descartes (1596–1650) and Pierre De Fermat (1601–1665). In
this new found idea, geometric problems were re-described in terms of algebraic equations and new class of curves
defined algebraically rather than using geometric conditions. The concept of derivative evolved in this new context
which led to its geometrical interpretation as a slope of a tangent to a curve, velocity of a particle and rate measure.
The notion of derivate of a function was initiated by Newton and Leibniz in 1680s. Wherever we consider rate of
change of a function, naturally differentiation steps in. Let us begin with the formal definition of derivative.

a, b such that a < c < b and f : [a, b] m ). If

We also say that f a( a c) is the differential coefficient of f at c. Usually if we write y  f (x), we denote f a c) by
( )x c or (dyyy//dx
d )x c. If f is differentiable at every point c of (a, b), then we say that f is differentiable in the open
interval (a, b). If f is differentiable at each point in its domain, we obtain a new function on the domain of f called the
derived function which is denoted by f a( dx or dy/dx, where y  f (x).

The following theorem, known as Carathéodory Theorem (asked in IIT-JEE 2001 mains), gives us a necessary and suf-
ficient condition for the differentiability of a function at a point.

T H E O R E M 2.4 Suppose f : [a, b] m  is a function and c (a, b).Then f is differentiable at c if and only if

Hence g is continuous at c. Further, by Eq. (2.1)

f ( x) f (c)  g( x)( x c) xx [a, b]

Note: In the lines immediately succeeding Definition 2.1, we mentioned that if y f ( x) is differentiable at each point

We now recall the concepts of increasing and decreasing functions (see Definition 1.40, p. 52, Vol. 1).

2.1 Derivatives: An Introduction 153

DEFINITION 2.3 Let A be a subset of  and f A m  be a function. Then


1. f is called increasingg or monotonically increasingg if f (x) b f (y) whenever x b y belong to A.
If f (x)  f (y) whenever x  y, then f is called strictly increasing function or strictly mono-
tonic increasing.
2. f is called decreasing or monotonically decreasing if f (x) r f (y) whenever x  y.
If f (x)  f (y) whenever x  y, then f is called strictly decreasing or strictly monotonic
decreasing.

The following is a corollary to Theorem 2.6.

C O R O L L A R Y 2.1 Suppose f : [a, b] m  is continuous and strictly monotonic increasing. Write A f ( ) B


1
f (b) so that f exists, is continuous and strictly monotonic increasing on [ , B ]]. If a  c  b
and f is differentiable at c and f 1 (c) ≠ 0, then f 1 is differentiable at f (c) and

f a( )

PROOF Since f is strictly increasing on [a, b], f is bijection from [ , b] [A , ] and hence f exists on
a c) x 0, by Theorem 2.6, f 1 is differentiable at c and
[ , B ]]. Since f a(

f a( )
The following proof is based on Carathéodory’s theorem and hence we can say that this is
also corollary to Carathéodory’s theorem.

ALITER Since f is differentiable at c, by Carathéodory’s theorem there exists a function h : [a, b] m 


such that h is continuous at c and h(c)  f a(c) and f ( x) f (cc))  h( x)(x
( x c) for all x [a, b].
Sinceh is continuous atcand h(c) x 0, thereexists D  0 suchthat ( , c D ) (a,, ) and h(( ) x 0
in ( , c D )). Write I c D , c D ). If y f (I), then
1 1 1
f (f ( y)) f ((cc) h( f ( y))( f ( y) c)
 h( f 1
( y))( f 1 ( y) f 1 ( f (c)))
Hence

1 1 f ( f 11 ( y)) f (c)
f ( y) f ( f (c)) 
h( f 11 ( y))
y f (c )
 11
h( f ( y))
y f (c )

By Carathéodory’s theorem, f 1 is differentiable at f (c) and

Note:
1. The theorem is equally valid if f is continuous and strictly decreasing on [a, b].
2. If f aa(c)  0, the above result is nott valid. For, let f ( x)  x 3, then f is continuous and strictly increasing on  and f is
differentiable at 0. But f 1 ( x)  x 1/3 is not differentiable at 0 because f 1( ) , f a(0) is not defined.

2.2 Derivatives of Some Standard Functions

use them in solving problems.

2.3 Special Methods of Differentiation


Sometimes the usual rules of differentiation may be a cumbersome process for finding derivatives of some typical
functions. In such cases we need special methods which we are going to discuss in this section.

2.3.1 Substitution Methods


The chain rule (Theorem 2.3) is also called substitution method. However, some functions need a suitable substitution
to compute the derivative elegantly. This is illustrated in the following examples.

Example 2.47

2.3.2 Logarithmic Differentiation


Use of logarithms will be advantageous in computing the derivatives of functions of the form ( ( x))g(( ). More precisely,
let f and g be defined and differentiable on an interval II. Let h( x)  ( f ( x))g ( x ) so that
log ( ( )) ( ) log(f ( ))
Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

haa( x) f a( x )
 ga
g a( x) log( f ( x)) g( x)
h( x) f ( x)

Hence
¥ g ( x ) f a( x ) ´
haa( x)  h( x) ¦ gaa( x) log( f ( x))
§ f ( x) µ¶

Now replace h( x) with (ff ( x))g(


g x)
.

Note: If y ( f ( x))g ( x ), then


dy ¥ g ( x ) f a( x ) ´
 y ¦ g a( x) log( f ( x))
dx § f ( x) µ¶

We illustrate the above-stated theory with some examples now.

Example 2.50

If y x x , i d dyy/d

Therefore
Note that both tan x and sin x are positive for x (0, P /2). dy
 y (cos x log (tan x) sec x)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x we get dx

2.3.3 Parametric Differentiation


Suppose x and y are functions of a parameter t, say x f (t ) and y g(t ) in any interval. Further assume that f is inver-
tible and f g, f 1 are differentiable in the relevant intervals. Then to find dyy/dx
d , we proceed as follows:
1 1
y g (t ) g( f ( x))  (g
(g f )( x )
Hence
dy
 g a(( f 1 ( x)( f 1 )a ( x)
dx
dy dx
 w
dt dt
dy
 w f a (t )

g a (t )

f a (t )
This process is called parametric differentiation or differentiation of one function g w.r.t. another function f. We
illustrate the above-stated theory with some examples now.

Example 2.53

If x  acos t and y  asin t, for 0 P /22 and a x 0, find dy g a(t )



dy/dx. dx f a(t )

Solution: Write x  f (t) and y  g(t) in ( , P / ) and note a t



f g are differentiable in ( , P / ) and f 1 exists in
that f, a i t

ferentiation, we get

168 Chapter 2 Derivative and Differentiability

Note: In Example 2.53, x and y are functions of t and we computed the derivative of the function y w.r.t. another
function x.

Example 2.54

If f (t )  log t sin t and g(t )  e t cos t in (0, P /2), then we have

2.3.4 Differentiation of Implicit Functions


Suppose y is a function of x, y is not explicitly in terms of x, but x and y are connected through a relation F. F Write
F ( x, y) . Here y is a function of x, say, y f ( x), but x and y are connected through the relation F ( x, y) , that is
F ( x, f ( x ) ) . If this be the case, we say that y is an implicitt function of x. The following are illustrative examples.

Example

Suppose y  f ( x), x [a, b] and x 2 y2  1  x [a, b]. x 2 ( f ( x))2  1


In this case f (x) may not be known explicitly, but we may Then
compute f (x) using the relation
f ( x)  1 x 2 or f ( x)  1 x 2

nected through a relation F ( x, y)  0, it is possible,
Here y a  f a( x). Hence

both sides w.r.t. x, since y is a function of x, say y  f (x), y f ( x)
we get

2.4 Successive Derivatives of a Function


DEFINITION 2.4 Suppose f : (a, b) m  is a function and is differentiable in (a, b). Then the derived function
f a can be regarded as a function on (a, b). That is, f a : (a, b) m  is also a function. Suppose
f a is differentiable in (a, b) with derived function ( )a ( ), then this function is denoted by
f aa(
aa x) and is called the second derivative of f in (a, b).
If further f aa is differentiable in (a, b), then its derived function ( )a ( ) is denoted by
f aaa(
aaa x) and is called the third derivative of f in (a, b). In general, the (n + 1)th derivative of f is
the derivative of f (n) (x) (if exists), n  1, 2, 3, ….

Note: Even though the nth derivative of a function is explained, as per the scope of the syllabus, we restrict to second-
and third-order derivatives. If y f ( x), then f ( n ) ( x) is also denoted by d n y/dx
d n.
The following are some illustrative examples.

1. Let f ( x)  x 2 in (0, 1). For the given function f aaa( x)  cos x, f ( 4) ( x)  sin x

224 Chapter 3 Applications of Differentiation

The concept of a line tangent to a circle was introduced by ancient Greeks who used the same to some special curves.
Greeks’ concept of a tangent to a circle is as follows: A line having just one point lying on a circle and all its other points
outside the circle is considered to be a tangent. This concept worked well in deriving many properties of tangent lines
to a circle. However, it faced rough weather when extending it for more general curves where a tangent line to a curve
at a point may intersect the curve at some more points. At this juncture people used the derivative to describe tangent
and felt that this is far more satisfactory.
In this chapter we will discuss the geometric meaning of the derivative and study tangents and normals to curves.
Further we will study the Mean Value Theorems, Maxima Minima, Increasing and Decreasing functions, and
L’Hospital’s Rule which determine the limits of indeterminate forms.

3.1 Tangents and Normals


In this section, we describe a tangent to a curve represented by a differentiable function y  f (x) and obtain the equa-
tions of tangents and normal. First, we begin with the following definition.

DEFINITION 3.1 Tangent to a Curve Let P be a fixed point on a curve and Q be a neighbouring point to P on
the curve. As Q approaches point P along the curve, suppose the chord QP P approaches a fixed
line and finally coincides with the fixed line when Q coincides with P. Then this fixed line is
called the tangent to the curve at the point P. (See Fig. 3.1.)

FIGURE 3.1 Definition 3.1.

3.1.1 Geometric Meaning of the Derivative


Suppose y  f (x) is a differentiable function. Consider Fig. 3.2. On the curve y  f (x), let P(a, f (a)) and Q(a h,

In Section 3.1, we have seen how the derivative of a function is useful in studying the properties of tangents. In this
section we will discuss how the derivative of a function is also useful in the velocity problems or, more generally, the
rate of change of a function. We begin with the following definition.

DEFINITION 3.5 Let f be a function defined on an open interval (a, b) and let c  (a, b). Then the difference

3.3 Mean Value Theorems


Mean value theorem in differential calculus connects the values of a function to values of its derivative. It is one of the
most useful tools in real analysis. Especially, a special case of mean value theorem, viz. Rolle’s Theorem established in
1690 by Michel Rolle (1652 1719) a French mathematician, is useful for finding points on a curve where the tangents
are horizontal. This theorem gives the position of roots of derivatives of polynomial functions. Mean value theorem is
also useful in deciding the intervals of monotonicity of functions and finally, in proving the most famous L’Hospital’s
Rule. First we begin with Rolle’s theorem.

3.3.1 Rolle’s Theorem


T H E O R E M 3.3 Suppose a  b, f [a, b] m  is continuous such that f (a)  f (b). Further assume that f is differ-
entiable in the open interval (a, b). Then, there exists c (a, b) such that f a(c)  0.
PROOF If f is a constant function, then f a(c)  0 for any c (a, b). Hence, we may assume that f is a non-
constant function so that f is bounded (see Theorem 1.31). Let
m g f ( x) f ( x)
x[ a, b] x[ a, b]

so that m < M. Then either f (a) x m or f (a) x M. Suppose f (a) x M. Then


f (b) x M [ f (a) f (b)]
www.jeeneetbooks.in
232 Chapter 3 Applications of Differentiation

Hence, by Theorem 1.33, there exists c (a, b) such that f (c)  M, so that
f (c)  M r f ( x)  x [a, b]
Now, for x (a, c),
f ( x ) f (c )
r0
x c
so that
f ( x ) f (c )
f a(c)  lim r0
xmc x c
Also, for x (c, b),
f ( x ) f (c )
b0
x c
so that
f ( x ) f (c )
f a(c)  lim b0
xmc x c
Hence, f a(c)  0.

Example
Let f ( x)  x 2 for x [ , 1]. Then f is continuous on Also f is differentiable in ( 1, 1) and
[ 1, 1] and
f a( x)  2 x  x (
( , 1)
2 2
f( ) ( ) f( ) Further f a(0)  0 and 0 ( 1, 1).

Example

Consider the function f (x)  sin x for x [0, O ]. Obvi- and f (0)  f (O )  0. Hence f a(c)  0 for some c (0, O ).
ously f is continuous on [0, O ], differentiable in (0, O ) That is cos c  0 for some c (0, O ). Clearly c  O /2.

Geometric Interpretation of Rolle’s Theorem


See Fig. 3.5.
1. Let y  f (x) be a function satisfying the conditions of Rolle’s theorem on a closed interval [a, b]. Then f a(c)  0
for at least one c (a, b). But f a(c) is the slope of the tangent to the curve y  f (x). That is, at the point (c, f (c)) the
tangent is parallel to the x-axis.

f a(c)  0. For example, consider f ( x)  x 2 ( x )2 on the interval [ 1, 2] so that f ( 1)  4  f (2).

The following theorem which may be called Rolle’s theorem for polynomial functions gives the position of roots
of the derivative polynomial of a given polynomial.

T H E O R E M 3.4 Let P(x) be a polynomial of degree n (r2). Then between any two real roots of P(x)  0, there
exists a root of P a(x)  0.
PROOF Let a, b be two roots of P(x)  0. We may assume that a < b. Then, clearly P(a)  0  P(b). Also
P(x) is continuous for all x in [a, b] and differentiable for all x in (a, b). Hence by Rolle’s theorem,
P a(c)  0 for some c (a, b). Thus P a(x)  0 has a root c (a, b).

Note: In general, if f (x) is continuous and differentiable and @,


@ A are real roots of the equation f (x)  0, then f a(x)  0
has a root in between @ and A. A

PROOF Write

Then g (x) is
1. Continuous on the closed interval [a, b]
2. Differentiable in the open interval (a, b)
3. g (a)  g (b) ( f (b))
Hence by Rolle’s theorem, there exists c (a, b) such that ga(c)  0. But it is given that
f (b) f (a)

www.jeeneetbooks.in
234 Chapter 3 Applications of Differentiation

Therefore
f (b) f (a)

Note:
1. If f (a)  f (b), then Rolle’s theorem follows from Lagrange’s mean value theorem. But, we use Rolle’s theorem in
proving Lagrange’s mean value theorem. Hence, Rolle’s theorem cannot be considered as a corollary of Lagrange’s
mean value theorem.
2. Lagrange’s mean value theorem says that the mean or average value
f (b) f (a)

of f in [a, b] is equal to the derivative f a(c) for some point c in (a, b).

f (b) f (a)

is the gradient (slope) of the line joining the points (a, f (a)) and (b, f (b)) which lie on the curve of y  f (x). Lagrange’s
mean value theorem says that, for some c (a, b), the tangent at the point (c, f (c)) to the curve y  f (x) is parallel to
the line joining the points (a, f (a)) and (b, f (b)).
As immediate consequences of Lagrange’s mean value theorem we have the following results stated as corollaries.

C O R O L L A R Y 3.1 Iff f is continuous on the closed interval [a, b], differentiable in the open interval (a, b) and
f a( x)  0  x (a, b), then f is a constant on [a, b].
PROOF Suppose a A b. Then f is continuous on [a, @ @] and differentiable in (a, @
@). Hence by Lagrange’s

@) such that
f( ) f( )

so that f (a)  f ( ). Thus
f( ) f (a)  A [a, b]
Hence f is a constant in [a, b].

3.3 Mean Value Theorems 235

C O R O L L A R Y 3.2 Suppose f is differentiable in the open interval (a, b) with derivative f a( x)  0  x (a, b). Then
f is a constant in (a, b).
PROOF Suppose a A B b. Then, by hypothesis, f is continuous on [@, @ A ], differentiable in (@,
@ A ) and
f a( x)  0  x ( , B )). Hence by Corollary 3.1, f is a constant in [@,@ A ]. In particular, f ( ) f ( )).
This being true for all @, @ A (a, b), it follows that f is a constant over (a, b).

! Caution: Corollary 3.2 fails if the domain of definition of f is not an interval.

Example

«0, if x (0, 1) Then f is differentiable in ( , 1) (2, ) with f a (x)  0


Define f ( x) = ¬  x ( , 1) ‡ (2,, ), but f is not a constant over

Another nice and important corollary of Lagrange’s mean value theorem is the following.

C O R O L L A R Y 3.3 Suppose f and g are continuous on [a, b] and differentiable in (a, b). Further suppose that
f a(x)  g a(x) for all x (a, b). Then there exists k such that f (x) g (x)  k for all x [a, b].
PROOF Write
h( x)  f ( x) g( x)  x [a, b]
Then, by hypothesis, h is continuous on [a, b], differentiable in (a, b) and
haa( x)  f a( x) gaa( x)  0  x (a, b)
Hence by Corollary 3.1, h (x) is a constant say k x [a, b]. Hence,
f ( x) g( x)  h( x)  k x [a, b] .

Before going to some more consequences of Lagrange’s mean value theorem, we consider some examples on Lagrange’s

The following theorem relates to the monotonic nature (i.e., increasing or decreasing nature) of a function which is also
a consequence of Lagrange’s mean value theorem. We recall that (Definition 2.3, Chapter 2) a function f defined on a
subset A of  is said to be increasing if f ( x1 ) b f (x
( x2 ) whenever x1, x2 are in A and x1 < x2.

T H E O R E M 3.6 Let f : [a, b] m  be a function differentiable in (a, b). Then


(i) f is increasingg on [a, b] if and only if f a(x) r 0 for all x (a, b).
(ii) f is decreasingg on [a, b] if and only if f a(x) b 0 for all x (a, b).

PROOF (i) Suppose f a( x) r 0  x [a, b]. Let x1, x2 belong to (a, b) and x1 < x2. Applying Lagrange’s
mean value theorem for f on the interval [x1, x2] we have
f ( x2 ) f (x

 f a (c )

for some c  (x1, x2). But f a(c) r 0 (by hypothesis). Since f a(c) r 0 and x2 x1  0, it follows
that
f x2 ) f x1 ) r 0

This being true for any arbitrary x1 and x2 (x1 < x2), it follows that f is increasing on [a, b].
Conversely, suppose f is increasing on [a, b] and differentiable. Let c (a, b). If x (a, b)
and x x c, then either x  c or x < c which implies that either f (x) r f (c) or f (x) b f (c) because
f is increasing. In any case

and g( x)  x 3 for x . The function f (x) is strictly
increasing with f a( )  0 and the function g(x) is
strictly decreasing in ( 1, 1) with ga(0)  0.

The following concept is related to the nature of the function which is strictly increasing (strictly decreasing) at a point
of its domain; however, this is different from the concept of strictly increasing (decreasing) in a neighbourhood of the
point.

DEFINITION 3.8 Strictly Locally Increasing or Decreasing Let f be a function defined in a neighbourhood of
a point c. If there exists C  0 such that
1. c  x  c D f ( x) f (c )
2. c D  x  c f ( x) f (c )
then we say that f is strictly locally increasing at c. Similarly, strictly locally decreasing at c can
be defined.

The following two theorems are on sufficient condition for a function to have a local extrema at an interior point of an

DEFINITION 3.10 Critical Point A point x0 in the domain of a function f is called a critical pointt off f if either
f a(x0) exists and is equal to zero or f a(x0) does not exist [but f a(x) exists at nearby points, so
that at this point x0, f a is discontinuous].

3.4.1 Testing a Differentiable Function for a Local Extremum with First Derivative
PROCEDURE
Step 1: Find the first derivative. That is f a(x).
Step 2:
(a) Equate f a(x) to zero and find the values of x.
(b) Find the values of x at which f a(x) is discontinuous.
The values of x obtained by Steps 2(a) and 2(b) are the critical points.
Step 3: Now investigate the change of sign of the derivative f a at a critical point.
From Quick Look 2, we can draw a table which gives point of extremum. Keep it in the mind so that not every critical
point is a point of extremum.

choose a small closed interval containing x0 and that is also contained in the small neigh-

So, f a(x) decreases in this closed interval (Theorem 3.6). But f a(x0)  0. Therefore, f a(x)  0
for x < x0 and f a(x) < 0 for x  x0. Thus, the derivative f a(x) changes sign for plus to minus at

Note: In an interval [a, b], the derivative of a function may not vanish at any point and hence the derivative keeps the
same sign throughout the interval. Thus the function is either increasing or decreasing in the interval, so that maximum
and minimum values occur at the end points of the interval [a, b].
Keeping the above note in mind the preceding information about the extremum values of a function, in the follow-
ing subsection we formulate, how to find the greatest and least values of a function on a given interval.

3.4.2 Deriving the Greatest and Least Values of a Function on a Given Interval
PROCEDURE
Suppose a function f (x) is defined and continuous on a closed interval [a, b] where a and b are finite real numbers. To
find the greatest and least values of the function, it is necessary to find all local maxima (local minima) of the function
f (x) in the open interval (a, b). Let x1, x2, x3, …, xn be all the critical points in (a, b) at which f (x) has extremum value.
To this list add a and b. Now let
S { f (a), f ( x1 )), f ( x2 ), , f ( xn ), f (b)}
Then the greatest element of S is precisely the greatest value of f (x) on [a, b] and the least elementt of S is precisely the
least value of f (x) on [a, b].

all real x, it is continuous and differentiable on [ 2, 1]. Also f ( 2)  17 and f (1)  8. Now
Therefore, the only critical points of f are the roots of
f a(x)  0. So S { f ( 2))  , f( ) , f (1)  }
Therefore, the greatest value of f is 17 and the least value

Note: Sometimes, if the functional values are positive, the minimum value of a sum can be determined by using

tan x cot x r 2 tan x cot x  2
and the equality occurs when tan x  cot x, which implies that x  O /4.

3.5 Convexity, Concavity and Points of Inflection


The following concepts and theorems will be useful in drawing the curves of continuous and differentiable functions.
The validity of the theorems is to be assumed.

DEFINITION 3.12 Convex Let f (x) be a continuous function defined on an interval [a, b]. If the graph of f (x)
lies below the line segment joining the points (x, f (x)) and (y, f (y)) for all a b x < y b b, then f is
said to be convex function on the interval [a, b] and the curve said to be convex. See Fig. 3.8.

DEFINITION 3.13 Concave If the curve always lies above the line segment joining (x, f (x)) and (y, f (y)), then f is
said to be a concave function on the interval [a, b] and curve is said to be concave. See Fig. 3.9.

3.6 Cauchy’s Mean Value Theorem and L’Hospital’s Rule


In this section we prove Cauchy’s mean value theorem which is an extension of Lagrange’s mean value theorem for
two functions and prove the most famous theorem L’Hospital’s rule.

3.6.1 Cauchy’s Mean Value Theorem

T H E O R E M 3.13 Suppose f and g are two functions such that


(C A U C H Y ’ S
(i) both are continuous on [a, b] and differentiable in (a, b)
MEAN VALUE
(ii) g (a) x g (b)
THEOREM)
(iii) f a( x) gaa( x) x  x (a, b)
Then, there exists c  (a, b) such that
f a(c) f (b) f (a)

gaa(c) g(b) g(a)

PROOF Let
f (b) f (a)
h( x)  f ( x) ( g(b) g( x))
g(b) g(a)
Then h is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable in (a, b). Also h(a)  f (b)  h(b). Hence, by
Rolle’s theorem, there exists c (a, b) such that ha(c)  0. Therefore
¥ f (b) f (a) ´
f a (c )  ¦ [ gaa(c)]
§ g(b) g(a) µ¶
f (b) f (a)
 – ga(
a c)
g(b) g(a)
If g a(c)  0, then f a(c)  0 which contradicts hypotheses (iii). Therefore ga(
a c) x 0. Hence
f a(c) f (b) f (a)

gaa(c) g(b) g(a)

Note: Lagrange’s mean value theorem is a special case of Cauchy’s mean value theorem, if we take g (x)  x  x [a, b].

3.6.2 L’Hospital’s Rule


Suppose functions f and g are defined in a neighbourhood of “c”. If lim f ( ) and lim g(( ) are both either 0 or p d,
xmc xmc
then lim f ( )// ( x) is called an indeterminate form. This limit of the ratio may exist or may not exist.
xmc

DEFINITION 3.15 Suppose we write A  lim f ( ) and B  lim g(( ).

0 pd
2. If @  A  pd, then we say that lim ( ( x) ( x)) is the indeterminate d d.

3.6 Cauchy’s Mean Value Theorem and L’Hospital’s Rule 249

T H E O R E M 3.14 Suppose lim f ( )  0  lim g(( ), f a(a) and g a(a) exist and g a(a) x 0. Then lim f ( )// ( x) exists
xma xma xma
and is equal to f a(a)/gaa(a).

PROOF Since f a(a) and g a(a) exist, f (x) and g (x) are continuous at a. Hence, by hypothesis
f (a)  g (a)  0
Also
f ( x ) f (a)
f a(a)  lim
xma x a
g ( x ) g ( a)
and gaa(a)  lim
xma x a
Therefore
f ( x) f ( x) x a
 –
g( x) x a g( x)
f ( x ) f (a) x a
 – [ f (a)  g( )  0]
x a g ( x ) g (a)
This implies
f( ) f( ) f( ) x a

One has to observe that

and g a(a) x 0 implies that g(x) x 0 for all x in a neighbourhood of a.

The following theorem is another form of L’Hospital’s rule which will be also useful in practical problems. In the first
reading, the student may skip the proof and assume its validity.

PROOF Since f a( x)/gaa( x) m l as x m a 0, there exists a positive number K such that 0 < h < K, both f and
g are differentiable and g a(x) x 0 for all x in (a, a h). If g( x)  g(a)( ) for some x in (a, a h),
then by Rolle’s theorem g a(x0)  0 for some x0 in (a, a h) which is a contradiction to the fact that
g a(x) x 0 in any (a, a h). Hence g(x) x g(a) for any x (a, a h). Thus, f and g satisfy the condi-
tions of Cauchy’s mean value theorem on [a, a h] so that there exists c in (a, a h) such that
f a(c) f (a h) f (a) f (a h)
  (3.4)
gaa(c) g(a h) g(a) g(a h)
Let D  0. Since
f a( x )

there exists a positive number C (DD) such that x (a, a D ( ))) and

gaa( x)
Choose D  n(L D E ) . Therefore for any x (a, C ), by Eq. (3.4) we have
f ( x ) f a (c )

g ( x ) g a (c )
for some c in (a, x). Hence
f ( x) f a (c )
l  l  E
g( x) g a (c )
because 0 < c – a < x – a < C Therefore
f ( x)
ml x m a 0
g( x)
Similarly
f ( x)

g( x)
Hence

Now we state (without proofs) two theorems which comprise all forms of L’Hospital’s rule.

(Here the limit may be real number or d or d.)
Note: The above result is equally valid, if the right neighbourhood is replaced by left
neighbourhood.
(ii) Suppose f and g are defined and differentiable in ( d, b), g a(x) x 0 in ( d, b) and

Then P1: If f and g are increasing functions on [a, b], then
(A) both I and II are true f g is also increasing on ;a, b=.
P2: If f (x)  x and g (x)  1 x are defined on ;0, 1=,
(B) both I and II are false
then the product fg g is increasing on ;0, 1=.
(C) I is true and II is false Then
(D) I is false and II is true (A) both P1 and P2 are true
Solution: (B) P1 is true, but P2 is false
I: Consider f (x)  x sinx
n and g(x)  x.
Since (C) P1 is false whereas P2 is true
f a(x)  1 cos x r 0 (D) both P1 and P2 are false

350 Chapter 4 Indefinite Integral

4.1 Introduction
After carefully studying Chapter 3 on differentiation, a natural question that arises is: Given a function on an internal
I, can we find a function g defined on I such that the derivative of g is f ? That is, is there a function g such that g a  f
on I. In most of the cases, the answer is yes. In general, the statement that “if f (x) is a function then there exists a func-
tion g such that g a(x)  f (x)” is not true. For example, if f (x) is equal to a, b or c according as x is less than, equal to or
greater than 0, then there is no function g such that g a (x)  f (x) unless a  b  c for which the reason is that f is discon-
tinuous at 0. However, if f is a continuous function on an interval I, then there is always a function g such that g a  f on
I (which will be proved in Chapter 5). The process of finding g such that g a  f is called integration. It is in this sense,
we say that integration is the inverse process of differentiation. Let us begin with the following definition.

DEFINITION 4.1 Antiderivative Suppose f is defined on an interval I of . Then a F function defined on I is


said to be an antiderivative or primitive of f if F is differentiable on I and F a( x)  f ( x)  x I .

Examples

1. Let f (x)  x on (0, 1). Take F ( x)  x 2 / x (0, ). 4. Let f (x)  cos x on (0, O /2) and F (x)  sin x on
Then F a( x)  x  f ( x)  x ( , 1) so that F (x)  x2/2 (0, O /2) so that F a (x)  cos x  f (x) and hence sin x is
is a primitive of f (x)  x on (0,1). a primitive of cos x on (0, O /2).
2. Let f and F be as in (i) and k be any constant. De- 5. Let F (x)  loge x on (0, d) and f (x)  1/x / on (0, d) so
fine g( x)  F ( x) k x ( , 1). Then clearly g a(x) that F a (x)  1/x
/  f (x) on (0, d) and hence log x is a
 F a( x) 0  f ( x)  x ( , 1). Thus, g is also a primi- primitive of 1/x/ on (0, d).
tive of f on (0,1). 6. Let f (x)  ex and F (x)  ex on  so that F a (x)  ex 
3. Let f (x)  sin x, x  (0, O /2) and F (x)  –cos x on (0, f (x) and hence ex is a primitive of ex on .
O /2). Then F a(x)  –(–sin x)  sin x  f (x) so that –cos 7. Let I ‹  be an interval and f ( x)  0  x I . Suppose
x is a primitive of sin x on (0, O /2). F(x)  k (constant) for x  II. Now, Fa(x)  0 for all x 
I implies that F(x) is primitive of f(x) on I.I

Note: If f and F are defined on I and F a(x)  f (x), then


d
(F ( x) k ) F a( x ) f ( x)
dx
(where k is a constant) which shows that if F is a primitive of f on I, then F k is also a primitive of f on I. Hence, if f
has a primitive then it has infinitely many primitives.
In point (7) above we have proved that if F (x)  k (constant) on an interval, then F a (x)  0 on I so that on the inter-
val I, constant function is a primitive of zero function. The converse of this result is also true. This, we establish in the
following theorem.

T H E O R E M 4.1 A function F on an interval I is a primitive of the zero function on I if and only if F is a constant
function on I.
PROOF Suppose F is a constant function say k on the interval I. Then F ( x)  k x  I so that
F a( x)  0  x  I . Thus F is a primitive of the zero function on I. Now, suppose F is a primitive of
the zero function on I. Then F a( x)  0  x  I . Suppose a, b  I and a < b so that [a, b] ‹ I. Then
F is differentiable and hence is continuous on [a, b]. Therefore by Lagrange’s mean value theo-
rem, there exists c  (a, b) such that
F (b) F (a)
 F a (c )  0
b a
Consequently, F (b)  F (a). This being true for every a, b  I, it follows that F is a constant func-
tion on I.

Note: In Theorem 4.1, if I is not an interval the result may not be true. For example, take I  (–1, 0) ‡ (0, 1) and
www.jeeneetbooks.in
4.1 Introduction 351

« 1 o 1 x  0
F ( x)  ¬
­1 0x1

so that F is not a constant function on I, but F a(x)  0 for x  I.

C O R O L L A R Y 4.1 Let f,
f F and G be functions defined on an interval I, and F and G be primitives of f on I. Then F
and G differ by a constant. That is, F – G is a constant function on I.
PROOF Write E  F – G. Then
F a( ) F a( ) G a ( ) f( ) f( )  x I

Hence E is a primitive of the zero function on I. So by Theorem 4.1, E is a constant function, say
k on I. Then
F ( x) G( x)  F( x) k x I

Note: From Corollary 4.1, we have the following: If F is a primitive of f on an interval I, then { } is the set
of all primitives of f on I.

DEFINITION 4.2 Let f be defined on interval I and F be a primitive of f on I. If k is any constant, then F k is called
an indefinite integral of f on I and is denoted by ∫ f (x) dx. The sign ∫ is the integral sign and x is
only a dummy variable. It can be replaced by any other variable or ∫ f can also be used. Thus

° f ° f (t)dt ° f (x)ddx F ( x) k

where k is any constant. In this case f is called the integrand, ° f is the indefinite integrall (or
simply integral of f ) and k is called the constant of integration.

Note:
1. Here onwards constant of integration is denoted by “c” instead of k.
2. By definition, f ( x) dx is differentiable and
°

f ( x)dx  f ( x) on I.

3. If f is differentiable on I, then f a( x)dx  f ( x) c.


°
From the definition of integral of a function we can list out integrals of some known differentiable functions which are
called standard integrals. We would list them in separate sections, so that the student can have a ready reference. Even
though the following theorem is a consequence of the differentiation, for completeness sake, we state and prove it.

PROOF By hypothesis

Now F : I m  is differentiable, being a primitive of ff, and g: J m I is differentiable. Hence
F g : J m  is differentiable and

 °( )a ( )dx [using Eq. (4.11)]

Note:

1. In practice, to evaluate ° f (t)dt on I, we try to find a function g : J m I and ° (( f g) )( ) dx on J which is nothing


but f (t ) dt by taking t  g( x)  x  J . That is why evaluating an integral using Theorem 4.3 is called the method
°
of substitution.
2. In practice, even though the constant of integration c is not written, we assume its presence.

Some useful consequences of method of substitution, the method of Integration by Parts and various methods of
integration are discussed appropriately in the following sections. Since this chapter is very important, in these sec-
tions we will give examples in the form of “Single Correct Answer Type” for students to practice the questions sec-
tion-wise. A consolidated section with more problems would be presented in the “Worked-Out Problems” section.

4.3 Integration by Substitution


The formula we use is

° f (g(x))g a(x) dx  ° f (t) dt


where t  g(x). After evaluating ° f (t) dt, we return to the old variable x.
Note:
1. In some of the problems, where more number of substitutions are used, it is difficult to return to the old variable.
In such cases we leave the answer in the final variable.
2. There are no fixed rules for substitution. One can get perfection only by practice.

The following three are important consequences.

a 2 b2 § 2 2¶
Put a  r cos @ , b  r sin @ so that r  a 2 b2 and @ is
given by the equations cos @  a/r and sin @  b/r. Therefore

Note:
1. If we put a  r sin @ and b  r cos @ , then the integral will be transformed to (1/r ) sec( x A ) dx.
°
2. Another method of evaluation of the integral is: Write sin x and cos x in terms of tan x/2 and then substitute
t  tan(x/2).

3. To evaluate ° a sin x b cos x c , the only method is the substitution t  tan(x/2).

and therefore, we have the following formula.

Formula 1

consider one factor as u and the second factor as the dif-


° udv  uv ° vdu ferential dv of v.
This formula enables us to find the integral of product of
two functions. Out of the two factors of the product, we

4.5.9 Euler’s Substitution


To evaluate ° R(x, ax 2 bx c ), we use one of the following three substitutions called Euler’s substitutions.

1. Put ax 2 bx c  t p x a if a > 0.

2. Put ax 2 bx c  tx p c if c > 0.
3. If ax2 bx c  a(x –@)(x – A) where @, A are real roots of ax2 bx c  0, then put the substitution

ax 2 bx c  t( x A ) or t(x – B)
and simplify the integral and perform integration.
www.jeeneetbooks.in
404 Chapter 4 Indefinite Integral

Note: Sometimes the integrals which can be evaluated by using Euler’s substitution can also be evaluated by other
substitution methods.

5.1 Definite Integral


To find the area of a region bounded by an irregular curve, we subdivide the region into rectangles of small width; the
sum of the areas of these rectangles gives an approximate value to the area of the given region. As we reduce the width
of the rectangle, the sum of the areas gives a good approximation to the area of the region. This idea led to the defini-
tion of definite integral by Bernard Riemann (1826–1866), a nineteenth century mathematician. In this chapter, we
state the theorems (without proofs) and provide many problems to improve the working skills of the student.

DEFINITION 5.1 Let a, b , a  b and f : [a, b] m  be a function. Suppose


P {a  x0  x1  x2   xn  b}
is a partition of [a, b]. Suppose ti [ xi 1 , xi ], i  1, 2, 3, {, n. Then
n
S( f , P ) ¤ f (t ) ( x x
i 1
i i i 1 )

(it is customary to write $


$xi for xi xi 1 ) is called a Riemann intermediate sum of f associ-
f P) converges to a limit @ as max {$
ated with the partition P. If S( f, $xi , i  1, 2, , n} tends to
zero then we say that f is Riemann integrable, or simply integrable, over [a, b] and @ is the
(Riemann) integral of f over [a, b]. We denote @ by
b b

°f

° f (x) dx
a
d

Here x is only a dummy variable and can be replaced by any other variable. For example
b b

° f (t) dt
a
or ° f ( y) dy
a

b
In this case, f is called the integrand
d and ° f (x) dx is called the (definite) integral of f over [a, b].

T H E O R E M 5.1 If f : [a, b] m  is an integrable function, then f is bounded.

DEFINITION 5.2 Suppose f : [a, b] m  is integrable so that f is bounded (by Theorem 5.1). Let
P {a  x0  x1  x2   xn  b}
be a partition of [a, b]. Write
Mi b { f ( x) | x [ xi 1 , xi ]}

and mi {ff ( x) | x [ xi 1 , xi ]}

Then
n
L( f , P ) ¤ m (x

is called the (Riemann) lower sum of f overr [a, b] and

From the definition of integrability, the following can be easily proved.

Let f : [a, b] m [0, d) be a function, P  {x0, x1, x2, {, xn} be a partition of [a, b] and ti [ xi 1 , xi ] for i  1, 2,…, n. Then

Sum of the areas of the rectangles with width $xi  xi xi 1 and height f (ti)
Thus, the area A enclosed by the x-axis, the lines x  a, x  b and the curve y  f (x) is approximately equal to S (f, P).
When the width of the rectangles becomes smaller, that is when Max {$x1, $x2, {, $xn} is small, the sum of the areas
b
or S (f, P) is very nearly equal to A. If f is integrable, then S (f, P) converges to ° f (x) dx and hence

Thus, definite integral of a non-negative function f, when integrable, maybe interpreted over [a, b] as the area enclosed
by the curve y  f (x), the lines x  a, x  b and the x-axis.

5.1 Definite Integral 457

As already mentioned in the beginning of this section, we are going to state some theorems (without proofs) whose
validity, we assume.

T H E O R E M 5.3 Suppose a b c  d b b d f [a, b] m  is defined by


«1 if x [c, d]
f ( x)  ¬
­0 otherwise

Then f is integrable over [a, b] and


b d

°f °
a c
d c

From Theorem 5.3 it follows that every step function f on [a, b] is integrable over [a, b]. In fact we have the following
theorem.

T H E O R E M 5.4 Suppose f : [a, b] m  is a step function. Hence, f can be written as


m
f ¤L x
i 1
i Ji

where Ji is a sub-interval of [a, b] and J1, J2, {, Jm are disjoint. Then f is integrable and

° ¤L

f
i 1
i ( Ji )

m
 ¤ L (d
i 1
i i ci ) if Ji [ci , di ]

where ( i ) is the length of the interval Ji.

Note: In part (2) of the example given after Theorem 5.2, the function is not a step function, even though it has two
values. That is,
« 1 if x is rational
f ( x)  ¬
­0 if x is irrational
is not a step function.

In other words, if two functions f and g differ only at a finite number of points in [a, b] and if one
of them is integrable, then the other function is also integrable and will have the same integral.

The following theorem is useful to decide the integrability of a function.

T H E O R E M 5.7 f : [a, b] m  is integrable over [a, b] if and only if to each   0, there exists a partition P of [a, b]

A good application of Riemann integrable criterion is the following.

T H E O R E M 5.8 Every continuous function on [a, b] is integrable over [a, b].

Theorem 5.8 is very important, application wise, since many of the functions we come across are continuous.

1. Every polynomial function being continuous for all 3. The function log x is continuous on any closed in-
real x, is integrable over any interval [a, b]. terval [a, b], 0  a  b. Hence, log x is integrable
2. The functions sin x and cos x being continuous on over [a, b].
any interval [a, b], are integrable over [a, b]. 4. Since ex is continuous for all real x, ex is integrable
over any closed interval [a, b].

Note:
1. Even though Theorem 5.8 is useful application wise, it suffers from one drawback, namely it does not give the value
b
of the integral ° f.
a
2. Theorem 5.8 remains true even if f is discontinuous at a finite number of points in (a, b).

T H E O R E M 5.9 (i) Every increasing function on [a, b] is integrable.


(ii) Every decreasing function on [a, b] is integrable over [a, b].

Note: Here again, the integrability of a monotonic function f is guaranteed, but does not specify the value of ° f.

Note:
1. Suppose f : [0,, ] m  is defined as

«1/x i x x 0
f ( x)  ¬
­ 0 if x  0
Then f is continuous on [c, 1] for every c  (0, 1] and hence it is integrable over (c, 1] if 0  c b 1. But f is nott inte-
grable over [0, 1], since it is not bounded on [0, 1].
2. Define f : [0,, ] m  by
« 1

f ( x)  ¬ x

This function f is bounded on [0, 1] and is continuous on [0, 1] except at x  0 and hence it is integrable over [0, 1].
The following theorem is called mean value theorem for integrals.

T H E O R E M 5.17 Suppose f : [a, b] m  is integrable, f ([a, b]) ‹ [c, d] and g : [c, d] m  is continuous. Then g  f
(C O M P O S I T E is integrable over [a, b].
THEOREM)
As an application of Theorem 5.17, we have the following theorem.

T H E O R E M 5.18 If f : [a, b] m  is integrable, then | f | is integrable over [a, b]. Further, if | f ( x) | b M  x [a, b],
then
b b

°
a
°
f b | f | b M ( b a)
a

PROOF Let g( x)  | x | so that


f ( x)  f ( x)  g( f ( x))

Hence by Theorem 5.17, the result follows.

Note: The converse of Theorem 5.18 is not true. That is, if | f | is integrable, then f need not be integrable. For this,
consider

« 1 if x is rational
f ( x)  ¬
­ 1 if x is irrational

on [0, 1]. Then f is not integrable over [0, 1] whereas f ( x)  1  x [0, 1] is integrable.
The following is another important application of the Composite Theorem.

T H E O R E M 5.19 Suppose f and g are defined and integrable over [a, b]. Then f 2, g2 and fg are integrable over
(P R O D U C T [a, b].
THEOREM)
PROOF Define h (t)  t2. Then
f 2 ( x)  (h  f )( x)
Hence, by Composite Theorem, f 2 is integrable. Similarly, g2 is integrable and
1
f –g  [( f g )2 f 2 g 2 ]
2
is integrable.

As a nice application of the product theorem, we have the following important theorem known as Integration by parts
which is very useful in evaluating definite integrals.

T H E O R E M 5.20 Suppose F and G are differentiable on [a, b], f  F a, g  Ga and f, g are integrable over [a, b].

5.1.2 Definite Integral as a Limit of a Sum


Sometimes definite integral can be used to find the limit of a sum. This is because, for a given function f on [a, b] and
a partition P of [a, b], S(f, P) (see Definition 5.1) is a finite sum and as the maximum of $xi of P tends to zero, the sum
b
tends to ° f . For example, suppose f : [0, 1] m Z
b
is integrable. Let n be a positive integer. Consider the partition

« 1 2 3 n 1 nº
P  ¬0, , , , {, , »
­ n n n n n¼
of [0, 1]. That is the interval [0, 1] is divided into n equal parts. Here xi  i/n for i  1, 2, {, n and xr 1 xr  1/n for r 
1, 2, {, n so that

P  max [$xi , $x2 , ..., $xn ] (where $xi  xi xi 1 )


1

n

The division points xr are equally spaced in [0, 1]. We select tr  1/r in [ xr 1 , xr ]  ;(1/(r 1)), 1/r = . Hence,

5.1.3 Method of Finding the Limit of a Sum as a Definite Integral


Here, we give a procedure which can be done mechanically to obtain limit of a sum.
Step 1: Write the general term rth or (r 1)th term of the sum whichever contains r.
Step 2: Replace n with 1/h in the general term and simplify it.
Step 3: Alot one h in the numerator to dx and in the remaining replace rh with x.
Step 4: (i) If the number of terms in the sum is n 1 or n or n 1, then the limits of integration are from 0 to 1.
(ii) If the number of terms in the sum is 2n 1 or 2n or 2n 1, the limits of integration are from 0 to n.
In this way we find the function and its limits of integration so that the definite integral obtained is the limit
of the sum.

While computing areas, it is always useful if a rough diagram (figure) is drawn. For this the following tips will be helpful.
1. Symmetry:
(a) If the powers of x in the curve equation are all even, then the curve is symmetric about y-axis. That is, the equa-
tion of the curve does not change if x is replaced by x.
(b) If the equation of the curve does not change by replacing y with y, then the curve is symmetric about x-axis
(i.e., the powers of y are all even).
2. Find the points of intersection of the curve(s) with the coordinate axes.
3. Observe whether there are any limitations for the abscissa (ordinate) of points on the curve.
4. If for any point (x, y) on the curve, lim y  0 and y x 0 for all points on the curve, then the curve approaches nearer
xmpd
and nearer to x-axis but will never meet it. Similarly, if lim x  0 and x x 0 for all points, the curve approaches
ympd
y-axis without meeting it.

5.3 Differential Equations


Differential equations have applications in many branches like Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biology,
Economics, Geology, etc. Therefore in-depth study of differential equations assumed great importance in all modern
scientific research. James Bernoulli (1654–1705), Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736–1813), and Leibnitz (1646–1716) are
some of the early mathematicians responsible for the development of differential equations.
In this section, we will study some basic concepts regarding differential equations, learn how to form differential
equations and find the solutions of ordinary differential equations. We strictly confine to the types of differential equa-
tions which are included in IIT-JEE syllabus.

DEFINITION 5.6 Equation involving derivative (derivatives) of a dependent variable with respect to one or
more independent variable(s) is called a differential equation.
If there is only one independent variable, then the equation is called an ordinary differential
equation.

ferential equation is called the order of the differential equation and the degree of the highest

rivatives) is called the degree of the differential equation.

DEFINITION 5.8 Solution, General Solution, Particular Solution


1. Any relation between the independent and dependent variables satisfying a differential
equation is called a solution of the differential equation.
2. A solution which contains as many arbitrary constants as the order of the equation is called
general solution of the given equation.
3. Any solution obtained from the general solution by giving values to arbitrary constants (i.e.,
solution free from arbitrary constants) is called a particular solution.

5.3.1 Procedure to Form Differential Equation When General Solution is Given


Step 1: Write the general solution or the equation representing the family of curves.
Step 2: Differentiate the given equation as many times as the number of arbitrary constants that are present in the
given equation.
Step 3: Eliminate the arbitrary constants from the equations written in Step 1 and Step 2. Then the differential equa-
tion obtained is the equation representing the curves mentioned in Step 1.
