Answer
Given that $\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{2\sin\text{x}-\sin2\text{x}}{\text{x}^{3}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{2\sin\text{x}-2\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}}{\text{x}^{3}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{2\sin\text{x}-(1-\cos\text{x})}{\text{x}^{3}}$
 $=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{2\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}\Big(\frac{1-\cos\text{x}}{\text{x}^{2}}\Big)$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}2\Big(\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}\Big)\bigg(\frac{\frac{2\sin^{2}\text{x}}{2}}{\text{x}^{2}}\bigg)$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}2\Big(\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}\Big)\Bigg(2\frac{\sin^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{\frac{\text{x}^{4}}{4}}\times\frac{1}{4}\Bigg)$
 $=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}2\Big(\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}\Big)\Bigg(2\frac{\sin^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{\frac{\text{x}^{4}}{4}}\Bigg)^{2}.\frac{1}{4}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{4}{4}\Big(\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}\Big)\lim\limits_{\frac{\text{x}}{2} \rightarrow 0}\Bigg(\frac{\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\Bigg)$

Question 25 Marks
Differentiate the functions with respect to 'x'.
$\text{x}\cos\text{x}$
Answer
Let $\text{y}=\text{x}\cos\text{x}\ ...(\text{i})$
$\text{y}+\Delta\text{y}=(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})\cos(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})\ ...(\text{ii})$
Subtracting eq. (i) from eq. (ii)
$\text{y}+\Delta\text{y}-\text{y}=(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})\cos(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})-\text{x}\cos\text{x}$ 
$\Delta\text{y}=\text{x}\cos(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})+\Delta\text{x}\cos(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})-\text{x}\cos\text{x}$
Dividing both sides by taken the limit, we get
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\Delta\text{y}}{\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{x}\cos(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})-\text{x}\cos\text{x}+\Delta\text{x}\cos(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})}{\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{x}\big[\cos(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})-\cos\text{x}\big]}{\Delta\text{x}}$ 
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{x}\bigg[-2\sin\frac{(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x}+\text{x})}{2}\cdot\sin\frac{(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x}-\text{x})}{2}\bigg]}{\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{x}\bigg[-2\sin\Big(\text{x}+\frac{\Delta\text{x}}{2}\Big)\cdot\sin\frac{\Delta\text{x}}{2}\bigg]}{2\times\frac{\Delta\text{x}}{2}}$
$\frac{\Delta\text{x}}{2}\rightarrow0$ Taking the limits, we have
$=\text{x}[-\sin\text{x}]+\cos\text{x}$
$=-\text{x}\sin\text{x}+\cos\text{x}$
Hence, the required answer is $-\text{x}\sin\text{x}+\cos\text{x}.$

Answer
Given that $\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{\sin2\text{x}+3\text{x}}{2\text{x}+\tan3\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\big(\frac{\sin2\text{x}+3\text{x}}{2\text{x}}\big)\times2\text{x}}{\big(\frac{2\text{x}+\tan3\text{x}}{3\text{x}}\big)\times3\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\Big(\frac{\sin2\text{x}}{2\text{x}}+\frac{3\text{x}}{2\text{x}}\Big)\times2\text{x}}{\Big(\frac{2\text{x}\tan3\text{x}}{3\text{x}}\Big)\times3\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\Big(\frac{\sin2\text{x}}{2\text{x}}+\frac{3\text{x}}{2\text{x}}\Big)\times2\text{x}}{\Big(\frac{2\text{x}}{3\text{x}}+\frac{\tan3\text{x}}{3\text{x}}\Big)\times3\text{x}}$
$=\frac{\Big(\lim\limits_{2\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin2\text{x}}{2\text{x}}+\frac{3}{2}\Big)}{\Big(\frac{2}{3}+\lim\limits_{3\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\tan3\text{x}}{3\text{x}}\Big)}\times\frac{2}{3}$
$=\Big(\frac{1+\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{2}{3}+1}\Big)\times\frac{2}{3}$
$=\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{5}{3}}\times\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{2}{3}=1$
Hence, the required answer is 1.

Answer
Given that $\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{1+\cos\text{x}}}{\sin^{2}\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{1+\cos\text{x}}}{\sin^{2}\text{x}}\times\frac{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{1+\cos\text{x}}}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{1+\cos\text{x}}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{2-(1+\cos\text{x})}{\sin^{2}\text{x}\big[\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{1+\cos\text{x}}\big]}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{1+\cos\text{x}}{\sin^{2}\text{x}\Big[\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{1+\cos\text{x}}\Big]}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{2\sin^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{(2\sin\frac{\text{x}}{2}\cos\frac{\text{x}}{2})^{2}}\times\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{1+\cos\text{x}}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{2\sin^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{4\sin^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}\cos^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\times\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{1+\cos\text{x}}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow0}\frac{2}{4\cos^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\times\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{1+\cos\text{x}}}$
Taking limit, we get
$=\frac{2}{4\cos^{2}0}\times\frac{1}{(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2})}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}=\frac{1}{4\sqrt{2}}$
Hence, the required answer is $\frac{1}{4\sqrt{2}}.$

Answer
Given $\begin{cases}\frac{\text{k}\cos\text{x}}{\pi-{2}\text{x}}, \\3,\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{2} \end{cases}$
$\text{L}.\text{H}.\text{L}.\text{f}(\text{x})=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{2}}}\frac{\text{k}\cos\text{x}}{\pi-{2}\text{x}}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{k}\cos\big(\frac{\pi}{2}+\text{h}\big)}{\pi-{2}\big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\text{h}\big)}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{k}\sin\text{h}}{\pi-\pi+2\text{h}}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{k}\sin\text{h}}{2\text{h}}$
$=\frac{\text{k}}{2}.1=\frac{\text{k}}{2}$
$\text{R}.\text{H}.\text{L}.\text{f}(\text{x})=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow{\frac{\pi}{2}}}\frac{\text{k}\cos\text{x}}{\pi-{2}\text{x}}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{k}\cos\big(\frac{\pi}{2}+\text{h}\big)}{\pi-{2}\big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\text{h}\big)}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{k}\sin\text{h}}{\pi-\pi-2\text{h}}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{-\text{k}\sin\text{h}}{-2\text{h}}$
$=\frac{\text{k}}{2}.1=\frac{\text{k}}{2}$
we are given that $\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow\frac{\pi}{2}}\text{f}(\text{x})=3$ 
Hence, the required answer is 6.

$\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2}\frac{\text{x}^{2}-4}{\sqrt{3\text{x}-2}-\sqrt{\text{x}+2}}$
Answer
Given that $\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2}\frac{\text{x}^{2}-4}{\sqrt{3\text{x}-2}-\sqrt{\text{x}+2}}$
Rationalizing the denomonator, we get
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2}\frac{(\text{x}+2)(\text{x}+2)\big[\sqrt{3\text{x}-2}+\sqrt{\text{x}+2}\big]}{\big[\sqrt{3\text{x}-2}-\sqrt{\text{x}+2}\big]\big[\sqrt{3\text{x}-2}+\sqrt{\text{x}+2}\big]}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2}\frac{(\text{x}+2)(\text{x}+2)\big[\sqrt{3\text{x}-2}+\sqrt{\text{x}+2}\big]}{3\text{x}-2-\text{x}-2}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2}\frac{(\text{x}+2)(\text{x}+2)\big[\sqrt{3\text{x}-2}+\sqrt{\text{x}+2}\big]}{2\text{x}-4}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2}\frac{(\text{x}+2)(\text{x}+2)\big[\sqrt{3\text{x}-2}+\sqrt{\text{x}+2}\big]}{2(\text{x}-2)}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2}\frac{(\text{x}+2)(\text{x}+2)\big[\sqrt{3\text{x}-2}+\sqrt{\text{x}+2}\big]}{2}$
Taking limits, we have
$=\frac{(2+2)\big[\sqrt{6-2}+\sqrt{2+2}\big]}{2}=\frac{4\big[2+2\big]}{2}$
$=\frac{4\times4}{2}=8$
Hence, the required answer is 8.

Question 135 Marks
Differentiate the functions with respect to 'x'.
$\text{x}^{\frac{2}{3}}$
Answer
Let $\text{f}(\text{x})=\text{x}^{\frac{2}{3}}\ ...(\text{i})$
$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})=(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})^{\frac{2}{3}}\ ...(\text{ii})$
Subtracting eq. (i) from eq. (ii)
$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x}-\text{f}(\text{x})=(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})^{\frac{2}{3}}-\text{x}^{\frac{2}{3}}$ 
Dividing both sides by taken the limit, we get
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{f}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})-\text{f}(\text{x})}{\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})^{\frac{2}{3}}}{\Delta\text{x}}$

$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{x}^{\frac{2}{3}}\Bigg[\bigg(1+\frac{\Delta\text{x}}{\text{x}}\bigg)^{\frac{2}{3}}\Bigg]-1}{\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{x}^{\frac{2}{3}}\bigg[\bigg(1+\frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{\Delta\text{x}+\ ....}{\text{x}}\bigg)-1\bigg]}{\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{x}^{\frac{2}{3}}\cdot\frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{\Delta\text{x}}{\text{x}}}{\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\frac{2}{3}\text{x}^{\frac{2}{3}-1}=\frac{2}{3}\text{x}^{\frac{-1}{3}}$
Hence, the required answer is $\frac{2}{3}\text{x}^{\frac{-1}{3}}.$

Question 145 Marks
Differentiate the functions with respect to 'x'.
$\frac{\text{ax}+\text{b}}{\text{cx}+\text{d}}$
Answer
Let $\text{f}(\text{x})=\frac{\text{ax}+\text{b}}{\text{cx}+\text{d}}\ ...(\text{i})$
$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})=\frac{\text{a}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})+\text{b}}{\text{c}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})+\text{d}}\ ...(\text{ii})$
Subtracting eq. (i) from eq. (ii)
$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x}-\text{f}(\text{x})=\frac{\text{a}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})+\text{b}}{\text{c}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})+\text{d}}-\frac{\text{ax}+\text{b}}{\text{cx}+\text{d}}$
Dividing both sides by taken the limit, we get
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{f}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})-\text{f}(\text{x})}{\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{\text{a}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})+\text{b}}{\text{c}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})+\text{d}}-\frac{\text{ax}+\text{b}}{\text{cx}+\text{d}}}{\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{-\text{acx}^{2}-\text{ac}\Delta\text{x}\cdot-\text{adx}-\text{bcx}-\text{bc}\cdot\Delta\text{x}-\text{bd}}{(\text{cx}+\text{c}\Delta\text{x}+\text{d})(\text{cx}+\text{d}).\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{(\text{ad}-\text{bc})\Delta\text{x}}{(\text{cx}+\text{c}\Delta\text{x}+\text{d})(\text{cx}+\text{d})\cdot.\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{(\text{ad}-\text{bc})}{(\text{cx}+\text{c}\Delta\text{x}+\text{d})(\text{cx}+\text{d})}$
Taking limit, we get
$=\frac{(\text{ad}-\text{bc})}{(\text{cx}+\text{d})(\text{cx}+\text{d})}=\frac{\text{ad}-\text{bc}}{(\text{cx}+\text{d})^{2}}$
Hence, the required answer is $\frac{\text{ad}}{(\text{cx}+\text{d})^{2}}.$

Question 155 Marks
Differentiate the functions with respect to 'x'.
$\cos(\text{x}^{2}+1)$
Answer
Let $\text{f}(\text{x})=\cos(\text{x}^{2}+1)\ ...(\text{i})$
$\Rightarrow \text{f}(\text{x}\Delta\text{x})=\cos\big[(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x}^{2})+1\big]\ ...(\text{ii})$ 
Subtracting eq. (i) from eq. (ii) we get
$\text{f}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x}-\text{f}(\text{x})=\cos\big[(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x}^{2})+1\big]-\cos(\text{x}^{2}+1)$
Dividing both sides by
$\frac{\text{f}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})-\text{f}(\text{x})}{\Delta\text{x}}=\frac{\cos\big[(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x}^{2})+1\big] -\cos(\text{x}^{2}+1)} {\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{f}(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})-\text{f}(\text{x})}{\Delta\text{x}}=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\cos\big[(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x}^{2}+1\big] -\cos(\text{x}^{2}+1)} {\Delta\text{x}}$
$\text{f}'(\text{x})=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\cos\big[(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x}^{2}+1\big] -\cos(\text{x}^{2}+1)} {\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin\Big[\frac{(\text{x}+\Delta\text{x})^{2}+1-\text{x}^{2}-1}{2}\Big]}{\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin\Big[\frac{\text{x}^{2}+\Delta\text{x}^{2}+2\text{x}-\Delta\text{x}-\text{x}^{2}}{2}\Big]}{\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{-2\sin\bigg[\text{x}^{2}+\frac{\Delta\text{x}^{2}}{2}+\text{x}\Delta\text{x}+1\bigg]\sin\bigg[\Delta\text{x}\frac{(\Delta\text{x}+2\text{x})}{2}\bigg]}{\Delta\text{x}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin\Big[\Delta\text{x}\frac{(\Delta\text{x}+2\text{x})}{2}\Big]}{\Delta\big[\frac{\Delta\text{x}+2\text{x}}{2}\big]}\times\Big(\frac{\Delta\text{x}+2\text{x}}{2}\Big)$
$=\lim\limits_{\Delta\text{x} \rightarrow 0}-2\sin\bigg[\text{x}^{2}+\frac{\Delta\text{x}^{2}}{2}+\text{x}\Delta\text{x}+1\bigg]\cdot\frac{\sin\Big[\Delta\text{x}\frac{(\Delta\text{x}+2\text{x})}{2}\Big]}{\Delta\text{x}\Big[\frac{\Delta\text{x}+2\text{x}}{2}\Big]}\times\bigg[\frac{\Delta\text{x}+2\text{x}}{2}\bigg] $
Taking limit, we have
$=-2\sin(\text{x}^{2}+1)\cdot1\cdot(\text{x})$
$=-2\sin(\text{x}^{2}+1)$
Hence, the required answer is $-2\sin(\text{x}^{2}+1).$
