Q1. The function f (x) = a x + b is strict increasing for all x∈Riff
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Since f ‘ (x ) = a , therefore , f ( x ) is strict increasing on R iff a >0

Q2.

The function f (x) = is strict decreasing in the interval


Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

f ‘ (x )=2x – 2 = 2 ( x - 1) <0 if x < 1 i.e. x x∈(−∞,1). Hence f is strict decreasing in left decreasing in(−∞,1)

Q3. For the curve tangent is parallel to X – axis where
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

dydx=0dydt=02t1=0t=12.
Q4. The equation of the normal to the curve y = sinx at (0, 0) is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Since , , therefore , slope of tangent at ( 0 , 0 ) = cos 0 = 1 and hence slope of normal at ( 0 , 0 ) is - 1 .

Q5.

The tangent to the parabola at the point  makes with the X – axis an angle of


Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:


Therefore , slope of tangent at ( 1 , ½ ) = 1. Hence , required angle is 
Q6. The curve y = is inclined at 45 to the X – axis at (0, 0) but it touches X – axis at (1, 0) , then the values of a, b, c, are given by
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:




At ( 0 , 0) , slope of tangent = = 1. c = 1. At ( 1 ,0 ) , slope of tangent = 0.3a+2b+c=0. Also, when x = 1 , y = 0 , therefore , a + b + c = 0 

Q7. The normal to the curve x = a (cosθ+θsinθ),y = a (sinθ−θcosθ)at any point θ is such that
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Equation of normal at θisxcosθ+ysinθ−a=0.So,normal is at a fixed distance a from the origin.

Q8.

The normal to the curve 2 y = 3 – at (1, 1) is


Answer : Option C

Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:



Q10. The equation of the tangent to the curve  at the point (0, 1) is
Answer : Option B
