CHAPTER 6.

APPLICATION OF DERIVATIVES

WORKSHEET-2

1 The function f(x)=x4-62x2+ax+9 attains its maximum value at x=1, on the


interval [0,2]. The value of a is

(a)20 (b)-120 (c)120 (d)52

2 The function f(x)=xx is decreasing in the interval:


(a) (0,e) (b) (0,1/e) (c) (0,1) (d) none of these

3 The volume of a cube is increasing at the rate of 8 cm 3/s. Find the rate at
which its side is increasing when length of side is 12 cm.

(a) 1/32 (b) 1/16 (c) 2/9 (d) 1/48

4 For the curve y=5x-2x3,if x increases at the rate of 2 units/sec, then at x=3
the slope of curve is changing at _______ units/sec

(a)-72 (b)-36 (c)24 (d)48

5 The function f(x)=tan x-x

(a)always increases (b)always decreases

(c)never increases (d) sometimes increases and sometimes decreases

6 Find the maximum and minimum values, if any, of the function

f(x) = - |x +1| + 3

7 Find the interval on which the function f(x)= 2x 3+9x2+12x-1 is decreasing.

8 Find the point(s) on the curve y=x2, at which y coordinate is changing six
times as fast as x coordinate.

9 The length x of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of 5 cm/minute and the


width y is increasing at the rate of 4 cm/minute. When x = 8 cm and y = 6
cm, find the rates of change of (a) the perimeter, and (b) the area of the
rectangle.

10 Prove that the volume of the largest cone that can be inscribed in a sphere of
8
radius R is of the volume of the sphere.
