1) Here, A = and B =
If AB is defined, then BA need not be defined. In the above matrices, AB is defined but BA is
not defined because B has 3 columns, while A has only 2 (and not 3) rows.

2) Let A =

∴ = A

[using R2 R2 – 2R1]

= A [using R2 (–1) R2 ]

[using R1 R1 –3R2]

A–1 = [∵ AA–1 = I]

3) If A = and B = ,

then AB = and BA =
Clearly, AB BA
Thus, matrix multiplication is not commutative. This shows that even, if AB and BA of same
order, then they may not be same.

4) Here, f(x) =

LHL = f (x) = (2x+3)


On putting x = 2 –b, as x 2– when b 0

∴ [2(2–b) + 3] = (7 –2b)
=7–2×0=7

RHL = f(x) = (2x – 3)


On putting x = 2 + b, as x 2+ when b 0

∴ [2(2+b) – 3] = (1+2b) = 1
∴ LHL RHL
Thus, f(x) is discontinuous at x = 2.

10) The general equation of all non-horizontal lines in a plane is


ax + by + c = 0, a 0 ....(i)
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. y, we get

Again, on differentiating both sides w.r.t. y, we get

which is the required differential equation.

11) Consider,
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

On substituting the value of y' in equation x + y = 0, we get


LHS = x + yy'

=x+

Hence, both I and II are true.

22) The derivative can be used (I) to determine rate of change of quantities, (II) to find the
equations of tangent and normal at a point,
(III) to find turning points on the graph of a function which in turn will help us to locate points
at which largest or smallest value (locally) of a function occurs. We also use derivative to find
intervals on which a function is increasing or decreasing.
(IV) Finally, we use the derivative to find approximate value of certain quantities.
