NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 6 Application of Derivatives Ex 6.5

Ex 6.5 Class 12 Maths Question 1.
Find the maximum and minimum values, if any, of the following functions given by
(i) f(x) = (2x – 1)² + 3
(ii) f(x) = 9x² + 12x + 2
(iii) f(x) = – (x – 1)² + 10
(iv) g(x) = x³ + 1
Solution:
(i) Minimum value of (2x – 1)² is zero.
Minimum value of (2x – 1)² + 3 is 3
Clearly it does not have maximum value,
(ii) f(x) = 9x² + 12x + 2
⇒ f(x) = (3x + 2)² – 2
Minimum value of (3 + 2)² is zero.
∴ Min.value of (3x + 2)² – 2 = 9x² + 12x + 2 is – 2
f (x) does not have finite maximum value
(iii) f(x) = – (x – 1)² + 10
Maximum value of – (x – 1)² is zero
Maximum valuer f f(x) = – (x – 1)² + 10 is 10
f (x) does not have finite minimum value.
(iv) As x—»∞,g(x)—»∞;Also x—»-∞,g(x)—»-∞
Thus there is no maximum or minimum value of f(x)

Ex 6.5 Class 12 Maths Question 2.
Find the maximum and minimum values, if any, of the following functions given by
(i) f(x) = |x + 2| – 1
(ii) g(x) = -|x + 1| + 3
(iii) h (x) = sin 2x + 5
(iv) f(x) = |sin(4x + 3)|
(v) h(x) = x + 1,x∈(-1,1)
Solution:
(i) We have :f(x) = |x + 2 |-1 ∀x∈R
Now |x + 2|≥0∀x∈R
|x + 2| – 1 ≥ – 1 ∀x∈R ,
So -1 is the min. value of f(x)
now f(x) = -1
⇒ |x + 2|-1
⇒ |x + 2| = 0
⇒ x = – 2
(ii) We have g(x) = -|x + 1| + 3 ∀x∈R
Now | x + 1| ≥ 0 ∀x∈R
-|x+ 1| + 3 ≤3 ∀x∈R
So 3 is the minimum value of f(x).
Now f(x) = 3
⇒ -|x+1| + 3
⇒ |x+1| = 0
⇒ x = – 1.
(iii) Thus maximum value of f(x) is 6 and minimum value is 4.
(iv) Let f(x) = |sin4x + 3|
Maximum value of sin 4x is 1
∴ Maximum value of |sin(4x+3)| is |1+3| = 4
Minimum value of sin 4x is -1
∴ Minimum value of f(x) is |-1+3| = |2|= 2
(v) Greatest value of f (x) is 2 and least value is 0.

Ex 6.5 Class 12 Maths Question 3.
Find the local maxima and local minima, if any, of the following functions. Find also the local maximum and the local minimum values, as the case may be:
(i) f(x) = x²
(ii) g(x) = x³ – 3x
(iii) h(x) = sinx+cosx,0<x<
(iv) f(x) = sin⁴x + cos⁴x,0<x<
(v) f(x) = x³ – 6x² + 9x:+15
(vi) g(x) = , x>0
(vii) g(x) = , x>0
(viii) f(x) = , x>0
Solution:
(i) Let f(x) = x² ⇒ f’(x) = 2x
Now f'(x) = 0 ⇒ 2x = 0 i.e., x = 0
At x = 0; When x is slightly < 0, f’ (x) is -ve When x is slightly > 0, f(x) is +ve
∴ f(x) changes sign from -ve to +ve as x increases through 0.
⇒ f’ (x) has a local minimum at x = 0 local minimum value f(0) = 0.

Ex 6.5 Class 12 Maths Question 4.
Prove that the following functions do not have maxima or minima:
(i) f(x) = e^x
(ii) f(x) = log x
(iii) h(x) = x³ + x² + x + 1
Solution:
(i) f'(x) = e^x;
Since f’ (x) ≠ 0 for any value of x.
So f(x) = e^x does not have a max. or min.
(ii) f’ (x) = ; Clearly f’ (x) ≠ 0 for any value of x.
So,f’ (x) = log x does not have a maximum or a minimum.
(iii) We have f(x) = x³ + x² + x + 1
⇒f’ (x) = 3x² + 2x + 1
Now, f’ (x) = 0 => 3x² + 2x + 1 = 0

i.e. f'(x) = 0 at imaginary points
i.e. f'(x) ≠ 0 for any real value of x
Hence, there is neither max. nor min.

Ex 6.5 Class 12 Maths Question 5.
Find the absolute maximum value and the absolute minimum value of the following functions in the given intervals:
(i) f(x) = x³, x∈ [-2,2]
(ii) f(x) = sin x + cos x, x ∈ [0, π]
(iii) f(x) =
(iv) f(x) =
Solution:
(i) We have f’ (x) = x³ in [ -2,2]
∴ f'(x) = 3x²; Now, f’ (x) = 0 at x = 0, f(0) = 0
Now, f(-2) = (-2)³ = – 8; f(0) = (0)² = 0 and f(0) = (2) = 8
Hence, the absolute maximum value of f (x) is 8 which it attained at x = 2 and absolute minimum value of f(x) = – 8 which is attained at x = -2.
(ii) We have f (x) = sin x + cos x in [0, π]
f’ (x) = cos x – sin x for extreme values f’ (x) = 0

Ex 6.5 Class 12 Maths Question 6.
Find the maximum profit that a company can make, if the profit function is given by p(x) = 41 – 24x – 18x²
Solution:
Profit function in p(x) = 41 – 24x – 18x²
∴ p'(x) = – 24 – 36x = – 12(2 + 3x)
for maxima and minima, p'(x) = 0
Now, p'(x) = 0
⇒ – 12(2 + 3x) = 0
⇒ x = ,
p'(x) changes sign from +ve to -ve.
⇒ p (x) has maximum value at x =
Maximum Profit = 41 + 16 – 8 = 49.

Ex 6.5 Class 12 Maths Question 7.
Find both the maximum value and the minimum value of 3x⁴ – 8x³ + 12x² – 48x + 25 on the interval [0,3].
Solution:
Let f(x) = 3x⁴ – 8x³ + 12x² – 48x + 25
∴f'(x) = 12x³ – 24x² + 24x – 48
= 12(x² + 2)(x – 2)
For maxima and minima, f'(x) = 0
⇒ 12(x² + 2)(x – 2) = 0
⇒ x = 2
Now, we find f (x) at x = 0,2 and 3, f (0) = 25,
f (2) = 3 (2⁴) – 8 (2³) + 12 (2²) – 48 (2) + 25 = – 39
and f (3) = (3⁴) – 8 (3³) + 12 (3²) – 48 (3) + 25
= 243 – 216 + 108 – 144 + 25 = 16
Hence at x = 0, Maximum value = 25
at x = 2, Minimum value = – 39.

Ex 6.5 Class 12 Maths Question 8.
At what points in the interval [0,2π], does the function sin 2x attain its maximum value?
Solution:
We have f (x) = sin 2x in [0,2π], f’ (x) = 2 cos 2 x
For maxima and minima f’ (x) = 0 => cos 2 x = 0

Ex 6.5 Class 12 Maths Question 9.
What is the maximum value of the function sin x + cos x?
Solution:
Consider the interval [0, 2π],
Let f(x) = sinx + cosx,
f’ (x) = cosx – sinx
For maxima and minima, f’ (x) = 0

Ex 6.5 Class 12 Maths Question 10.
Find the maximum value of 2x³ – 24x + 107 in the interval [1,3]. Find the maximum value of the same function in [-3, -1].
Solution:
∵ f(x) = 2x³ – 24x + 107
∴f(x) = 6x² – 24 ,
For maxima and minima f'(x) = 0;⇒ x = ±2
For the interval [ 1,3], we find the values of f (x)
at x = 1,2,3; f(1) = 85, f(2) = 75, f(3) = 89
Hence, maximum f (x) = 89 at x = 3
For the interval [-3, -1], we find the values of f(x) at x = – 3, – 2, – 1;
f(-3) = 125;
f(-2) = 139
f(-1) = 129
∴ max.f(x) = 139 at x = – 2.

Ex 6.5 Class 12 Maths Question 11.
It is given that at x = 1, the function x⁴ – 62x² + ax + 9 attains its maximum value, on the interval [0,2]. Find the value of a.
Solution:
∵ f(x) = x⁴ – 62x² + ax + 9
∴ f’ (x) = 4x³ – 124x + a
Now f’ (x) = 0 at x = 1
⇒ 4 – 124 + a = 0
⇒ a = 120
Now f” (x) = 12x² – 124:
At x = 1 f” (1) = 12 – 124 = – 112 < 0
⇒ f(x) has a maximum at x = 1 when a = 120.

Ex 6.5 Class 12 Maths Question 12.
Find the maximum and minimum values of x + sin 2x on [0,2π]
Solution:
∴f(x) = x + sin2x on[0,2π]
∴f’ (x) = 1+2 cos2x
For maxima and minima f’ (x) = 0

Ex 6.5 Class 12 Maths Question 13.

∴Their product,p = x(24 – x) = 24x – x²
Now = 0 ⇒24 – 2x = 0 ⇒ x = 12
Also = -2<0: ⇒ p is max at x = 12
Hence, the required numbers are 12 and (24-12)i.e. 12.

Ex 6.5 Class 12 Maths Question 14.
