1.1 INTRODUCTION
At higher secondary level, we have studied the definition of a matrix,
operations on the matrices, types of matrices inverse of a matrix etc.
In this chapter, we are studying adjoint method of finding the inverse of a
square matrix and also the rank of a matrix.
1.2 DEFINITIONS
1) Definitions:- A system of m un numbers arranged in the form of
an ordered set of m horizontal lines called rows & n vertical lines called
columns is called an m un matrix.
The matrix of order m un is written as

Determinant of a Matrix:
Let A be a square matrix then
A = determinant of A i.e det A= A
If (i) then A 0matrix A is called as non-singular and
If (i) then A 0, matrix A is singular.
Note : for non-singular matrix A-1 exists.

Inverse of A is denoted as A and read as A inverse.
Thus
-1 -1
AA =A A=I
Inverse of a matrix can also be calculated by the Formula.
-1 1
A = A Adj.A where A denotes determinant of A.

1.4 RANK OF A MATRIX
a) Minor of a matrix
Let A be any given matrix of order mxn. The determinant of any
submatrix of a square order is called minor of the matrix A.
We observe that, if „r‟ denotes the order of a minor of a matrix of
order mxn then 1 r m if m<n and 1 r n if n<m.
e.g. Let
1
3 1 4
4
A = 0 1 7
8 5 4 3
The determinants
1 3 1 3 1 4 1 1 4
4 0 1 , 0 1 7 , 4 17 ,
8 5 4 5 4 3 8 4 3
1 3 , 0 1, 3 4 , 1 , 0 , 3 ,
4 0 5 4 0 7
Are some examples of minors of A.
b) Definition – Rank of a matrix:
A number „r‟ is called rank of a matrix of order mxn if there is
almost one minor of the matrix which is of order r whose value is non-zero
and all the minors of order greater than „r‟ will be zero.
e.g.(i) Let
1 0 2
A=2 4 1
14
Consider e.g. Let
A = 1 0 4, A = 0 2 8 etc.
2
1
2 4 4 1
Rank of A= 3
1 1 2
1
(ii) A = 2 3
0 1 1
Here,
A 2
= 1 1 1 0
1 2
Thus minor of order 3 is zero and atleast one minor of order 2 is non-zero
Rank of A = 2.
Some results:
(i) Rank of null matrix is always zero.
(ii) Rank of any non-zero matrix is always greater than or equal to 1.
(iii) If A is any mxn non-zero matrix then Rank of A is always equal to
rank of A.
(iv) Rank of transpose of matrix A is always equal to rank of A.
(v) Rank of product of two matrices cannot exceed the rank of both of
the matrices.
(vi) Rank of a matrix remains unleasted by elementary
transformations.
Elementary Transformations:
Following changes made in the elements of any matrix are called
elementary transactions.
(i) Interchanging any two rows (or columns) .
(ii) Multiplying all the elements of any row (or column) by a non-zero
real number.
15
(iii) Adding non-zero scalar multitudes of all the elements of any row
(or columns) into the corresponding elements of any another row (or
column).
Definition:- Equivalent Matrix:
Two matrices A & B are said to be equivalent if one can be
obtained from the other by a sequence of elementary transformations. Two
equivalent matrices have the same order & the same rank. It can be
denoted by
[it can be read as A equivalent to B]
Example 4: Determine the rank of the matrix.
1 2 3
A = 1 4 2
2 6 5
Solution:
1 2 3
Given A = 1 4 2
2 6 5
R R - R & R R - 2R
2 2 1 3 3 1
1 2 3
0 2 1
rd
Here two column are Identical . hence 3 order minor of A vanished
nd 1 3
Hence 2 order minor 1 0
0
1
e(A) 2
Hence the rank of the given matrix is 2.
1.5 CANONICAL FORM OR NORMAL FORM
16
I r o
If a matrix A of order mxn is reduced to the form
o using a
o
sequence of elementary transformations then it called canonical or normal
form. Ir denotes identity matrix of order „r‟ .
Note:-
If any given matrix of order mxn can be reduced to the canonical
form which includes an identity matrix of order „r‟ then the matrix is of
rank „r‟.
e.g. (1) Consider
Example 5: Determine rank of the matrix. A if

1.6 NORMAL FORM PAQ
If A is any mxn matrix „r‟ then there exist non singular matrices P and Q
such that,
I 0
r PAQ
0 0
We observe that, the matrix A can be expressed as
A = Im In …………(i)
Where Im In are the identity matrices of order m and n respectively.
Applying the elementary transformations on this equation. A in L.H.S. can
be reduced to normal form. The equation can be transformal into the
equations.
I 0
r PAQ …………(ii)
0 0
21
Note that, the row operations can be performed simultaneously on L.H.S.
and prefactor (i.e. Im in equation (i)) and column operations can be
performed simultaneously on L.H.S. and post factor in R.H.S. i.e. [(In in
eqn (i)]

After going through this chapter you will be able to
- Find the rank of Matrix.

- Find solution of non-Homogeneous equations.
2.2 INTRODUCTION
th
In XII we have solved linear equations by using method of
reduction also by rule. Here we are going to find solution of homogeneous
28
and non-homogeneous both with different case. Using matrix we can
discuss consistency of system of equation.
2.3 CACONICAL OR ECHOLON FORM OF MATRIX
Let A be a given matrix. Then the canonical or Echelon form of A is a
matrix in which
(i) One or more elements in each of first r-rows are non-zero and
these first r-rows form an upper triangular matrix.
(ii) The elements in the remaining rows are zero.
Note :
1) The number of non-zero rows in Echelon form is the rank of the
matrix.
2) To reduce the matrix to Echelon form only row transformations are
to be applied.

2.4 LINEAR ALGEBRIC EQUATIONS
i) Consider a set of equations :
a1 x b1 y c1 z d1
a2 x b2 y c2 z d2
a3 x b3 y c3 z d3
The equation can be written in the matrix form as :
a1 b1 c1 x d
a b c y d 1
2 2 2 2
a b c z d
3 3 3 3
A X D
i.e. AX D
Now we join matrices A and D
a b c d
A D a b c d
a b c d
It is called as Augment matrix
We reduce (A.D.) to Echelon form and thereby find the ranks of A and
(A:D)
1) If ( A) ( AD) then the system is inconsistent i.e. it has no solution.
2) If ( AD) ( A) then the system is consistent and if
(i) ( AD) ( A) Number of unknowns then the system
is consistent and has unique solution.
(ii) ( AD) ( A) Number of unknowns and has infinitely many
solutions.
Non- Homogeneous equation:-
System of simultaneous equation in the matrix form is
AX=D…..(I)
Pre-multiplying both sides of I by A1 we set
31
1 1
A AX A D
1
IX A B
1
X A B
which is required solution of the given non-homogeneous equation.
Homogeneous linear equation:-
Consider the system of simultaneous equations in the matrix form.
AX D
If all elements of D are zero
i.e
then the system of equation is known as homogeneous system of
equations.
In this case coefficient matrix A and the augmented matrix [A,O]
are the same. So The rank is same. It follow that the system has solution
x1 , x2 , x3 .......x4 0, which is called a trivial solution.
Example 2: Solve the following system of equations
2 x1 3 x2 x3 0
x1 2x2 3x3 0
4 x1 x2 2 x3 0
Solution: The system is written as
AX 0
2 3 1 x1 0
1 2 3 x 0
2
4 1 2 x 0
3
Hence the coefficient and augmented matrix are the same
We consider

Hence Rank of A is 3
( A) 3,
The coefficient matrix is non-singular
Therefore there exist a trivial solution
x1 x2 x3 0
Example 3:
Solve the following system of equations
x1 3x2 2x3 0
2x1 x2 4x3 0
x1 11x2 14x3 0
Solution: The given equations can be written as
AX 0
33
1 3 2 x 1 0
2 1 4 x2

1 11 14 x 0

Here the coefficient & augmented matrix are the same

Here rank of A is 2 i.e

So the system has infinite non-trivial solutions.

Our aim is to find and x for given matrix A using equation (1)
is called as eigen value, latent roots of a matrix value, characteristic
value or root of a matrix A and x is called as eigen vector or characteristic
vector etc.
X is a column matrix
Method of finding and x :-

Note :
1) Equation (2) is called as matrix equation of A in
2) Equation (3) is called as characteristic equation of A in
3) Usually given matrix A is of order 3X3 . Therefore it will have 3
eigen values and for every eigen value there will be corresponding eigen
vector which is a column matrix of order 3X1. There are 3 such column
matrices.
4) Eigen vectors are linearly independent.
5) Method of finding eigen values is same for any given matrix A.
Method of finding eigen vectors is slightly different and we study 3 types
of such problems.
Type (I) : When all eigen values are distinct and matrix A may be
symmetric or non- symmetric.
Type (II) : When eigen values are repeated and A is non-symmetric
Type (III) : When eigen values are repeated and A is symmetric.
Solved examples :-

4.4 SIMILARITY OF MATRIX
Two matrix A and B of order nxn over F are said to be similar if
there exist a non-singular matrix P (invertible matrix) of order nxn such
1
that B P AP
This transformation of matrix A by a non-singular matrix P to B is
called a similarity transformation.
Diagonal matrix: If a square matrix A of order n has linearly independent
eigen vectors then matrix P can be formed such that P 1 AP is diagonal
matrix i.e.
1
D P AP
Example 4:
Two similar matrices A and B have the same eign values.
Solutions:
Since A and B are similar, there exists a non-singular matrix P such that
B P 1 AP
1
Consider B I P AP I
B I P 1 AP P 1IP
P A I P
P 1 A I P
A I P 1 P
A I P 1 . P 1
BI = A I
Hence the characteristics equation of A and B are the same
A and B have same eigen values.
Example 5:
Show that A 1 1 and B 1 0 have same characteristics equations
01 0 1
but A and B not similar matrices.
Solutions:
Let A 1 1 and B 1 0
0 1 0 1
63
Characteristics equation of A is A I 0
i.e. s equation
Characteristics equation of B is
B I 0
i.e.
Characteristics equation of A = Characteristics equation of B
Now we will show that A and B are not similar

4.5 CHARACTERISTICS POLYNOMIAL
Solving the determinant A I , a polynomial is obtained which
is called as a characteristics polynomial.

4.6 MINIMAL POLYNOMIAL
Monic Polynomial: A Polynomial in , in which the coefficient of the
highest power of is unity is called a monic polynomial.
For e.g. 5 2 4 3 3 6 5 is a monic polynomial of degree
polynomial.
If a polynomial f annihilates A then f also f annihilates. A for
R , therefore there exists a monic polynomial annihilating A.
If the characteristics roots of the characteristics equation are
distinct then f ( ) = 0 is called minimal equation.
If matrix of order 3x3 are having characteristics root 2,3,3 then,
Or A Ais the minimal equation.
65
Hence the degree of the equation is 2 and less than the order of the
polynomial.
Derogatory Matrix: A nxn matrix is called derogatory if the degree of its
minimal polynomial is less than n.
Non-Derogatory Matrix: A nxn matrix is called non-derogatory if the
degree of minimal polynomial is equal to n.
Properties of Minimal Polynomial:
(1) There exists a unique minimal polynomial of the matrix A.
(2) The minimal polynomial of A divides the characteristics
polynomial of A.
(3) If is the root of the minimal polynomial of A then is also
characteristics of root of A.
(4) If the n characteristics of root of A are distinct then A is non
derogatory.
Example 7:
Check whether the following matrix is derogatory or non derogatory also
find its minimal polynomial.

9 15 7
The characteristics roots are 1, 1 and 7 which are not distinct.
Therefore matrix A is derogatory.
Example 8:

AI 0 4 2
0 6 3

sum of minor of diagonal of matrix A A
3 2 2
( 2 2 1)
The characteristics roots are 0, 1 & 1 which are not distinct.
Therefore matrix A is derogatory matrix.
But we know that characteristic root of A is root of minimal polynomial.

Properties of operators
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Vector algebra deals with addition, subtraction and multiplication of
vertex. In vector calculus we shall study differentiation of vectors
functions, gradient, divergence and curl.
Vector:
Vector is a physical quantity which required magnitude and direction both.
Unit Vector:
80
Unit Vector is a vector which has magnitude 1. Unit vectors along co-
ˆ ˆ ˆ
ordinate axis are i and j , k respectively.
ˆ ˆ ˆ
i = j = k =
Scalar Triple Vector:
Scalar triple product of three vectors is defined as
.
Geometrical meaning of a b c is volume of parallelepiped with cotter
minus edges a, b and c .
We have,
a b c = b c a = c a b
a b c =- b a c
Vector Triple Product:
Vector triple product of a b and c is cross product of a and i.e.
or cross product of and c
Remark : Vector triple product is not associative in general
i.e.
Coplanar Vectors:
Three vectors a, b and c are coplanar if a b c = 0 for
a 0, b 0, c 0

5.3 VECTOR OPERATOR
ˆ ˆ
The vector differential operator is defined as ˆ .
5.3.1 Gradient:
The gradient of a scalar function is denoted by grad or and is
defined as ˆ ˆ ˆ Note that grad is a vector
quantity.
5.3.2 Geometric meaning of gradient:
The grad is a vector right angled to the surface, whose equation is
where c is constant.
Hence for r = x i + y j + z k any point on surface . d r = 0
i.e. at is right angles to d r and d r lies on the tangent plane to the
surface at .
d r
Geometrically represents a vector normal to the surface =
constant.

We have already learned differential equation in XII . Hence we
are going to discuss differential equation in brief. In this chapter we
discuss only formulation of differential equation.
6.3 DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION
Definition:-
An equation involving independent and dependent variables and the
differential coefficients or differentials is called a differential equation.

These are all examples of differential equations.
The differential equation is said to be ordinary if it contains only one
independent variable. All the examples of above are of ordinary
differential equations.
Order and Degree of a Differential Equations:-
(i) Order:-
The order of the differential equations is the order of the highest orderal
derivatives present in the function or equation.
If y = f (x) is a function, then
dy is the first order derivative,

Degree:-
The degree of differential equation is the degree of the highest ordered
derivative in the equation when it is made free from radicals and fractions.

In other words elimination of n arbitrary consonants will bring us to
th
differential equation of n order.

11.2 INTRODUCTION
So far, we have been concerned with a functions of a variable, but in many
problems in science and mathematics we have to deal with functions of
two or more independent variables.
e.g. the lift L of an aeroplane wing is a function of three independent
variables : A, the area of the wing, V, the speed at which the wing is
moving; and P the density of the air. The law is L Akv p
In the language of mathematics, if variable u has one definite value for any
given values of x,y,z then u is defined as a function of x,y,z.We represent
it as
u= f(x,y,z)
Note that u is independent variable and x,y,z are indepedent variables.
This relation is written as - u o x y z
195
11.3 PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL COEFFICIENTS
The partial derivative of u= f(x,y,z) with respect to x is the oridnary
derivative of u with respect to x when y and z are regarded as constant. It
is denoted by u , f or f .
x
x x
(To be pronounced as dabba u by dabba x)
Thus,
u f lim f x h y z f x y z
x x x®o h
Similarly when we differentiate u with respect to y we keep x and z
constant and so on
.
u uu
In general, x , y , z are also functions of x,y,z, so we can obtain higher
ordered partial derivatives of u=f(x,y,z)
2
u u 2f
e.g 2 fxx 2
x y x x
u 2u f 2f
yx
y x y x y x
u 2u 2f
And fxy and so on.
x y x y x y
Note :

In general , u u

11.3.2 Chain Rules:
Chain- rules are to be developed by drawing flow- diagrams.
Study this point carefully.
(1) Let u f x y z t t
[i.e. u is a function of x,y,z and x,y,z each is a function of only variable t]
(1) Thus , u u dx u dy u dz
t x dt y dt z dt
du u
we wirte total derivative and not
dt t
2 2 2 2 3
e. g . if u=x +y z , x t , y t , z t
then u x,y,z t
u x y t z

(2) If u f t
i.e. u t x,y,z
then u du t
x dt x
3 2 2 2
e. g . u=t ,t x y z
then u 3t2 2x 6xt 2

3) If u f x y z
then the flow diagram becomes,
i.e. u x,y,z r,s
If we want u then it is given by
s
u u x u y u z
s x s y s z s
e. g . u=x2 y2 z2 , x r s t , y s 2 t 2 , z t3
197
then u 2x 1+2y 2 s 2 z 0 6 x 4 ys

11.4 TOTAL DIFFERENTIATION
In Partial differentiation of a function of two or more variables , only one
variable varies. But in total differentiation, increments are given in all the
variables.
Let z f (x, y)
Let z be the increment in z corresponding to the increments x and y
in x and y respectively
Replace by only
z f x x y y
z f x x y y f xy
z f x x y y f x y y f x y y f
xy
o z x
f x xyy f xyy f xy y f xy
x y
y
Taking limits as x 0, y 0 we get z f d x f dy
x y
d z is called as total differential of z
Let us see some Corollaries:
(1) Let
u f (x , y , z ) and x=1 (t), y 2 (t) ,z 3 (t)
[i.e. u is function of x,y,z and x,y,z each is a function of only one variable
t.]
Thus,
u x,y,zt
d d dy u
d d d z
du u
We write total derivative and not
d tt
e. g. If u= x2 + y2 + z2 , y=t2 , z= t3
then u x, y, z t
198
d
d
(2) Let u= f(x, y) and (x, y) = 0
(x, y) = 0, y can be regarded as
a function of x and hence flow-diagram is
u x, y x
du = u 1 + u d y
dx x y dx
2 2
e. g. if u= x + y
du
3
and x
+ y + 3xy = 4then to find

x + y3 + 3xy = 43
Differentiate with respect to x,

and du = u + u d y = 2x +2y 2
dx x y d x x+y

12.0 OBJECTIVES:
After going through this chapter you will be able to:
State and prove three mean value theorems (MVT): Rolle‟s MVT,
Lagrange‟s MVT and Cauchy‟s MVT.
12.1 INTRODUCTION:
The Mean Value Theorem is one of the most important theoretical tools in
Calculus. Let us consider the following real life event to understand the concept
of this theorem: If a train travels 120 km in one hour, then its average speed
during is 120 km/hr. The car definitely either has to go at a constant speed of 120
km/hr during that whole journey, or, if it goes slower
(at a speed less than 120 km/hr) at a moment, it has to
go faster (at a speed more than 120 km/hr) at another
moment, in order to end up with an average speed of
120 km/hr. Thus, the Mean Value Theorem tells us that
at some point during the journey, the train must have
been traveling at exactly 120 km/hr. This theorem form
one of the most important results in Calculus.
Geometrically we can say that MVT states that given a
continuous and differentiable curve in an interval [a, b],
there exists a point c ∈ [a, b] such that
the tangent at c is parallel to the secant joining (a, f(a)) and (b, f(b)).
12.1.1 Rolle’s Theorem:
If f is a real valued function such that (i) f is continuous on [a, b], (ii) f is
differentiable in (a, b) and (iii)f(a) = f(b) then there exists a point c (a, b) such
0
that f c
220
Geometrical Interpretation of Rolle’s theorem:
Fig 12.1
We know that f (c ) is the slope of the tangent to the graph of f at x = c. Thus the
theorem simply states that between two end points with equal ordinates on the
graph of f, there exists at least one point where the tangent is parallel to the X
axis, as shown in the
Fig 12.1. After the geometrical interpretation, we now give you the algebraic
interpretation of the theorem.
Algebraic Interpretation of Rolle's Theorem:
We have seen that the third condition of the hypothesis of Rolle's theorem is that
f(a) = f(b). If for a function f, both f(a) and f(b) are zero that is a and b are the
roots of the equation f(x) = 0, then by the theorem there is a point c of (a, b),
where f (c ) = 0, which means that c is a root of the equation f (cx) = 0.
Thus Rolle's theorem implies that between two roots a and b of f(x) = 0 there
always exists at least one root c of f (cx) = 0 where a < c < b. This is the
algebraic interpretation of the theorem.
Example 1: Verify Rolle‟s Theorem for the following:
2 2 ª º
(1) x in [ 1,1] (2) x in 1, 3 ¬ ¼
2
Solution: (1) Let , x •[ 1,1]
As is a polynomial in x, it is continuous and differentiable everywhere on its
domain. Also 1 1 1
The conditions of the Rolle‟s theorem are satisfied.
We may have to find some c •[ 1,1] such that f cc0
Now f x?
2x. f c ? 2c.
2 c c
? f cc 0 Ÿ 2c 0 c? 0 and lies in [ 1,1]
Rolle‟s Theorem is verified.
¬ ¼
2 ª º
2) Let f xx , x • 1, 3
is polynomial in x. ? f(x) is continuous and differentiable everywhere on
its domain. i.e. (i) f is continuous on [1, 3] and (ii) f is differentiable in (1, 3).
But we have f 1 1 and 3 9 which are not equal.
The values of f at the end points are not equal i.e. f 1 zf 3
2
? The function x in (1, 3) do not satisfy all the conditions of Rolle‟s Theorem.
221
Example 2: Verify Rolle‟s Theorem for f x x x 3 ex /2 in 3, 0
x /2
Solution: Given f x x x3 e in 3, 0
(i) f x is continuous in 3, 0 since it is a product of continuous functions.
2
x /2
(ii) f x 2x 3 e 1 x 3x

x x x

2 2
(iii) f 3 f 0 0.
All conditions of Rolle‟s Theorem are satisfied. There exists c 3, 0 such
that f c 0 ec/2 c 2 c 3 0
2 2
2 2
c c 6 0 c c6=0
c = 3, -2
3 3, 0 c 3, c 2 3, 0
Hence Rolle‟s theorem is verified and c = - 2 is the required value.

Example 3: Verify Rolle‟s Theorem for f x = log in a , b ;

Solution: is continuous in (a, b) and f x =

f x x ab x x x ab 2 exists, since it is not indeterminate or
infinite.

There exists c a, b such that f c 0

Example 4: Verify Rolle‟s Theorem for f x = e sin x cos x in
[ / 4, 5 / 4].
x
Solution: Since e , sinx, cosx are continuous and differentiable functions, the
5 5
given functions is also continuous in , and differentiable in ,
4 4 4 4
/4
Also, f / 4 e sin / 4 cos / 4 0
222
f 5 / 4 e5 /4 sin 5 / 4 cos 5 / 4 0
f / 4 = f 5 / 4 = 0
Hence, Rolle‟s Theorem is applicable.

Now, f x e

4 4
2
Example 5: Verify Rolle‟s theorem for f(x) = sin x , 0 x .
2
Solution: We have f(x) = sin x , 0 x
2
Since sin x is continuous and differentiable on [0, ], sin x is also continuous
and differentiable in the given domain. Now f 0 = f =0
all the conditions of Rolle‟s Theorem are satisfied.
The derivative of should vanish for at least one point c 0, such
'
that f c 0 Now, f x 2 sin x cos x sin 2x .
' '
f c sin 2c. ⇒ f c 0 sin 2c 0 ⇒ 2c 0, ,2 , 3 ,...
c 0, 2 , ,...
Since c =
2
lies in 0, , it is the required value. Hence Rolle‟s theorem is
verified.
Example 6: If f x , x , x are differentiable in (a, b) , show that there
f (a ) (a ) (a)
exists a value c in (a, b) such that f (b ) (b ) (b ) = 0
f (c ) (c ) (c )
f (a ) (a ) (a)
Solution: Consider the function F x defined by, F(x) = f (b ) (b ) (b )
f (x ) (x ) (x)
Since , , are differentiable in (a, b) , F x is also differentiable in
. Further, F a 0 and F b 0 since in each case, two rows of the
above determinant becomes identical. F a F b
Hence by Rolle‟s Theorem, there is a value such that F c 0
f (a ) (a ) (a)
i.e f (b ) (b ) (b ) = 0
f (c ) (c ) (c )
Example 7: If f x =x x 1 x 2 x 3 then show that f x has
three real roots in [– 3, 0].
223
Solution: We apply Rolle‟s Theorem to f x in three intervals 1, 0 ,
2, 1 , 3, 2
We observe that
(i) is continuous in all the intervals since it is a polynomial in x.
f x
(ii) f x is differentiable in all the intervals polynomial in x.
(iii) f 3 f 2 f 1 f (0) 0.
Hence Rolle‟s Theorem is applicable in all each interval such that f c 0
f x has three real roots.
Example 8: Prove that between any two real roots of the equation,
x x
e sin x 1 there is at least one roots of e cos x 1 0 .
x
Solution: Let a and b be two real roots of the equation e sin x 1
x x
(i.e.) of sin x e (i.e.) of e sin x 0
x
Let f x e sin x , which is continuous and differentiable.
Also, f a f b 0 . Since a and b are roots of f x .
By Rolle‟s Theorem there is at least one real value c between a and b such
that f c 0

Solution: Let =

3
3 2 2
the given equation.
Here f x is continuous in 0, 1 and differentiable in (0, 1) and
f 0 f 1 0
By Rolle‟s Theorem there is a value c 0,1 such that f c 0
Now, f x ax

and this is zero at x = c which means the
3 2
2 a b
equation, ax bx has a root between 0 and 1.
3 2

3
Example 10: Show that the equation x x 1 0 where x has exactly
one real root.
Solution: Let f x x 3 x 1, x
f 0 1 0 and f 1 1 0
Since f x is a polynomial, it is continuous.
Thus, using Intermediate value theorem, we get, there is a number c between 0
and 1 such that f c 0
Thus the given equation has a root.
Now, let if possible f x have two roots, say a and b. Then f a = f b 0 .
Since f x represents a polynomial, it is differentiable on (a, b) and continuous
on a , b
Thus by Rolle‟s Theorem there exists a member c between a and b such that f
c 0
But f x 3x 1,
2
x
f x 1 , x
Hence f x 0 for any x, which is a contradiction.
Thus, the equation f x = 0 cannot have two real roots.

The equation x x 1 0, x has exactly one root.

12.1.2 LAGRANGE’S MEAN VALUE THEOREM
Theorem 6.1 : If y f x is a real valued function defined on a , b , such that,
(i) f x is continuous on a closed interval a , b , (ii) f x is differentiable in
(a, b) then there exists at least one point c a, b such that
f b f a
f c
b a
12.1.3 Another form of Lagrange’s Mean value Theorem:
If (i) f x is continuous in the closed interval a, a h , (ii) f x is
differentiable in the open interval (a, a + h) then there exists at least one number
in (0, 1) such that, f a h f a hf a h
12.1.4 Geometrical Interpretation of the Langrange’s Mean Value
Theorem:
Let be two points on the
curve y f x . The slope m of the line AB is given by, m
= f a
f b
ba
Also, f c is the slope of the tangent at the point C
c, f c . Lagrange‟s Mean Value Theorem says that
there exists at least one point C on the graph
where the slope of the tangent line is same as the slope of
line AB. (i.e.) C is a point on the graph where the tangent
is parallel to the chord joining the extremities of the curve.
Physical Significance:
We note that f b f a is the change in the function f x as x changes from
f b f a
a to b, so that ba is the change rate of change of the function f x
over a , b . Also f c is the actual rate of change of the function for x c .
Thus the theorem states that the average rate of change of a function over an
interval is also the actual rate of change of the function at some point of the
interval.
12.1.5 Some Important Deductions from the Mean Value Theorem:
Definitions:-
(i) Monotonically increasing function:
226
Let f x be defined in a , b . Let x , x a, b such that x x . If
1 2 1
2
f x1 f x2 then f x is said to be a monotonically increasing function.
(ii) Monotonically decreasing function:
Let f x be defined in a , b . Let x , x a, b such that x x . If
1 2 1
2
f x1 f x2 then f x is said to be a monotonically decreasing function.
Note:
(i)
If f x is monotonically increasing in a , b
then we can write
f a f x f b for all x a, b . f a is its minimum value and f b is
its maximum value.
(ii) If f x is monotonically decreasing
function in a , b then we can
write, f a f x f b for all x a, b . f a is its maximum value and
f b is its minimum value.
(iii) Let f x be differentiable in an interval (a, b). Let x 1, x 2 a, b and
x ,x
x1 x2 then applying Lagrange‟s Mean Value Theorem to 1 2 , we get
x
f 2 f x1 f c
x 2 x1
x
or f x 2 f x1 2 x1 f c (*)
(1) Let f x 0 for every value of x in a , b then from equation (*)
f x 2 f x1 0 for x 2 x1 and f c both are positive i.e.
f x 2 f x1
We have thus proved: A function whose derivative is positive for every value of
x in an interval is a monotonically increasing function of x in that interval.
(2) Let f x 0 for every value of x in (a, b) from equation we have,
f x2 f x1 0 f x2 f x1
for x 2 x1 is positive and f c negative.
Hence f x is a decreasing function of x.
We have thus proved: A function whose derivative is negative for every value of
x in an interval is a monotonically decreasing function to x in that interval.
Example 11: Verify mean value theorem for f x log x on 1,e
Solution: The given function is f x log x on 1,e
We know that f x log x is continuous on 1,e and differentiable on (1, e).
Thus all the conditions of Lagrange‟s mean value theorem are satisfied.
c 1,e such that f e f 1 f c

Since loge = 1, log1 = 0 and f x 1 we get 1 1
x e1 c
c e 1 which lies in the interval (1, 2) and hence in (1, e), since 2 < e < 3.
Example 12: Separate the interval in which the polynomial
3 2
2x 15x 36x 10 is increasing or decreasing.
Solution: We have, f x = 2x 3 15x
2
36x 10
2
f x 6x 30x 36
(i) f x is an increasing function if f x 0
2 2
i.e. 6x 30x 36 0. i.e. x 5x 6 0
2
But x 5x 6 (x 3)(x 2)
2
x 5x 6 0 if ( x 3 0 and x 2 0 ) or ( x 3 0 and
x 2 0)
i.e. if ( x 3 and x 2 ) or ( x 3 and x 2 )
i.e. if x 3 or x < 2
Hence f x is an increasing function if x lies in , 2 or 3,
(ii) f x is a decreasing function if f x 0.

12.2 Cauchy’s Mean Value Theorem:
If functions f and g are (i) continuous in a closed interval [a, b], (ii) differentiable
in the open interval (a, b) and (iii) f x 0 for any point of the open interval
(a, b) then for some c a, b , f c g b g a g c f bf a

The equivalence of the two statements can be shown as in case of Lagrange‟s
mean value theorem.
Remark:
233
(i)
Taking f x x , we can derive Lagrange‟s mean value theorem. In
other words, we may easily see that Lagrange‟s theorem is only a particular case
of Cauchy mean value theorem.
(ii) Usefulness of this theorem depends on the fact that f and g are
considered at the same point c. If we apply LMVT to „f‟ and „g‟ separately then

As f x and g x are polynomials (i) they are continuous on [1, 2], (ii) they are

13.5 Let Us Sum Up
13.1 INTRODUCTION
In the previous units we have seen how we can successively differentiate a
function, partial differentiation of a function and also various mean value
theorems. Differential Calculus has various applications. Some of the physical
and geometrical applications we have seen before. Derivatives can also be used
to find maximum and minimum values of a function in an interval. The
maximum and minimum values are called extreme values of a function. The
extreme values can be absolute or can be local. The first derivative test and the
second derivative tests are used to determine the points of local extrema. In this
chapter we are going to use the differential calculus concept to answer questions
like:
(1) What is the approximate value of sin1 ?
(2) What is the error in calculating the area of a square, if the error in
calculating the side length was 1%?
(3) What are the maximum and minimum values of a function in a given
interval?
13.2 OBJECTIVES
After studying this unit you should be able to:
compute the approximate value of a function at a given point.
compute error, relative error and percentage error
compute maxima and minima for a function in a given interval.
13.3 ERRORS and APPROXIMATION
Let z f ( x, y) be a differentiable function. Let x denote the error in x
and y denote the error in y. Then the corresponding error in z denoted by z is
given by:
z z
z x x y y
The above formula can be extended to more than two variables also. For z)
example, if u = f(x, y, then continuing with the same notations,
u u u
u x x y y z z.
z
Relative error: If z is an error in z then the relative error in z is given by: z .
238
Percentage error: If z is an error in z then the percentage error in z is given by:
z
z 100 .
Approximate value: If z is the calculated error value and z is the error in z then
the approximate value is given by: z + z .
Let us understand this with the help of some examples:
Example 1: The radius of a sphere is calculated to be 12 cm with an error of 0.02
cm. Find the percentage error in calculating its volume.
Solution: Given r = 12 cm and r = 0.02 cm. To find percentage error in volume
V
of the sphere. Let V denote the volume of the sphere. To find V 100 .
4 3 dV 4 2
Now, V = 3 r V dr r = 3 3r r .
4
2
Thus, V 100 = 3 3r r 100 = 3 r 100 = 3 0.02 100 = 0.5
V 4 3 r 12
3 r
The percentage error in calculating the volume is 0.5.
13.4 MAXIMA AND MINIMA
In this section, we shall study how we can use the derivative to solve
problems of finding the maximum and minimum values of a function on
an interval. We begin by looking at the definition of the minimum and the
maximum values of a function on an interval.
Definition : Let f be defined on an interval I containing „c‟
1. f (c) is the (absolute) minimum of f on I if f (c) ≤ f (x) for all x in I.
2. f (c) is the (absolute) maximum of f on I if f (c) ≥ f (x) for all x in I.
The minimum and maximum of a function on an interval are called the
extreme values or extreme, of the function on the interval.
Remark : A function need not have a minimum or maximum on an
interval. For example f (x) = x has neither a maximum nor a minimum on
3
open interval (0,1). Similarly, f (x) = x has neither any maximum nor any
minimum value in . See figures 13.1 and 13.2.
239
3
Fig. 13.1: f(x) = x, x (0, 1) Fig. 13.2 f(x) = x , x
If f is a continuous function defined on a closed and bounded interval
[a,b], then f has both a minimum and a maximum value on the interval
[a,b]. This is called the extreme value theorem and its proof is beyond the
scope of our course.
Look at the graph of some function f (x) in Fig. 13.3.
Fig. 13.3
Note that at x = x0 , the point A on graph is not an absolute maximum
because f(x2) > f(x0). But if we consider the interval (a,b), then f has a
maximum value at x = x0 in the interval (a,b). Point A is a point of local
maximum of f. Similarly f has a local minimum at point B.
Definition : Suppose f is a function defined on an intervals I. f is said to
have a local (relative) maximum at c I if there is a positive number h
such that for each x I for which c – h < x < c + h, x zc we have f(x) >
f(c).
Definition : Suppose f is a function defined on an interval I. f is said to
have a local (relative) minimum at c I if there is a positive number h
such that for each xI for which c – h < x < c + h, x zc we have f(x) <
f(c).
Again Fig. 13.4 suggest that at a relative extreme the derivative is either
zero or undefined. We call the x–values at these special points as critical
numbers.
240
Fig 13.4
Definition :
If f is defined at c, then c is called a critical number if f if f ' (c) = 0 or f’ is
not defined at c. The following theorem which we state without proof tells
us that relative extreme can occur only at critical points.
Theorem: If f has a relative minimum or relative maximum at x= c, then c
is a critical number of f.
If f is a continuous function on interval [a,b], then the absolute extrema of
f occur either at a critical number or at the end points a and b. By
comparing the values of f at these points we can find the absolute
maximum or absolute minimum of f on [a, b].
Example 2 : Find the absolute maximum and minimum of the following
2 4 3
functions in the given interval. (i) f(x) = x on [–3, 3] (ii) f(x) = 3x – 4x
on [–1, 2]
2
Solution : (i) f(x) = x , x [–3,3]
Differentiating w.r.t. x., we get f´(x) = 2x
To obtain critical numbers we set f´(x) = 0. This gives 2x = 0 or x = 0
which lies in the interval (–3,3).
Since f ' is defined for all x, we conclude that this is the only critical
number of f.
Let us now evaluate f at the critical number and at the end of points of [–
3,3].
f (–3) = 9
f (0) = 0
f (3) = 9
This shows that the absolute maximum of f on [–3,3] is f (–3) = f(3) = 9
and the absolute minimum is f (0) = 0
4 3 3
(ii) f(x) = 3x – 4x x [–1, 2] f´(x) = 12x – 12 x
3
To obtain critical numbers, we set f’ (x) = 0 or 12x – 12 x = 0 which
implies x = 0 or x = 1.
Both these values lie in the interval (–1, 2)
Let us now evaluate f at the critical number and at the end points of [–1,2]
f (–1) = 7
f (0) = 0
f (1) = –1
f (2) = 16
This shows that the absolute maximum 16 of f occurs at x = 2 and the
absolute minimum – 1 occurs at x = 1.
241
First Derivative Test
How do we know whether f has a local maximum or a local minimum at a
critical point c ? we shall study two tests to decide whether a critical point
c is a point of local maxima or local minima. We begin with the following
result which is known as first derivative test. This result is stated without
any proof.
Theorem : Let c be a critical point for f, and suppose that f is continuous
at c and differentiable on some interval I containing c, except possibly at c
itself. Then
(i) if f´ changes from positive to negative at c, that is, if there exists some h
> 0 such that c – h < x < c, implies f´(x) > 0 and c < x < c + h implies f´(x)
< 0, then f has a local maximum at c.
(ii) if f´ changes sign from negative to positive at c, that is, if there exists
some h > 0 such that c – h < x < c implies f´(x) < 0 and c < x < c + h
implies f´(x) > 0 then f has a local minimum at c.
(iii) if f´(x) > 0 or if f´(x) < 0 for every x in I except x = c then f (c) is not a
local extremum of f.
Fig 13.5 Fig 13.6
As an illustration of ideas involved, imagine a blind person riding in a car.
If that person could feel the car travelling uphill then downhill, he or she
would know that the car has passed through a high point of the highway.
Essentially, the sign of derivative f '(x) indicates whether the graph goes
uphill or downhill. Therefore, without actually seeing the picture we can
deduce the right conclusion in each case. We summarize the first
derivative test for local maxima and minima as following:
First Derivative Test for Local Maxima and Minima
Let c be a critical number of f i.e., f´(c) = 0
If f´(x) changes sign from positive to negative at c then f (c) is a local
maximum. See fig 13.7. If f´(x) changes sign from negative to positive at c
then f(c) is a local minimum. See fig 13.8.
Note : f´(x) does not change, sign at c, then f(c) is neither a local
maximum nor local minimum.
242
Fig 13.7
Fig 13.8
Example 3: Find the local (relative) extrema of the following functions :
3 2 1 x
(i) f (x) = 2x + 3x – 12x +7 (ii) f (x) = 2 (iii) f (x) = x.e
x 2
Solution
(i) f is continuous and differentiable on R, the set of real numbers.
Therefore, the only critical values of f will be the solutions of the equation
f´(x) = 0.
2
Now, f´(x) = 6x 6x 12 = 6( x 2)( x 1)
Setting f´(x) = 0 we obtain x = – 2, 1
Thus, x = –2 and x = 1 are the only critical numbers of f. Figure 13.9
shows the sign of derivative f´ in three intervals. From Figure 13.9 it is
clear that if x < –2, f´(x) > 0; if
–2 < x < 1, f´(x) < 0 and if x > 1, f´(x) > 0.
Fig 13.9
Using the first derivative test we conclude that f (x) has a local maximum
at x = – 2 and f (x) has local minimum at x = 1.
3 2
Now, f (–2) – 2 = 2(– 2) +3(– 2) – 12(–2) + 7 = –16 + 12 + 24 + 7 = 27
is the value of local maximum at x = – 2 and f (1) = 2 + 3 – 12+ 7 = 0 is
the value of local minimum at x = 1.
2 2
(ii) Since x + 2 is a polynomial and x + 2 0 is continuous and
differentiable on R, the set of real numbers. Therefore, the only critical
1
values of f (x) = x2 2 will be the solutions of the equation f '(x) = 0.

Setting f´(x) = 0 we obtain x = 0. Thus, x = 0 is the only critical number of
f. Figure 13.10 shows the sign of derivative in two intervals.

Setting f´(x) = 0 we obtain x = 0. Thus, x = 0 is the only critical number of
f. Figure 24 shows the sign of derivative in two intervals.
Fig. 13.10
From Figure 13.10 it is clear that f '(x) > 0 if x < 0 and f '(x) < 0 if x > 0.
Using the first derivative test, we conclude that f(x) has a local maximum
at x = 0.
Now since f (0) 2 1 1 the value of the local maximum at x = 0 is

(iii) Since x and e are continuous and differentiable on R, f ( x) xe is

Therefore, the only critical values of f will be solutions of f´ (x) = 0.

Since e 0, x , f´(x) = 0 gives x = –1. Thus, x = –1 is the only critical
number of f.
The figure below shows the sign of derivative f´ in two intervals :
It is clear that f´(x) < 0 if
x < –1 and f ´(x) > 0 if x > –1
Using the first derivative test
we conclude that f(x) has a
local minimum at x = –1 and
the value of local minimum
is
f (–1) = –1/e.

Second Derivative Test
The first derivative test is very useful for finding the local maxima and
local minima of a function. But it is slightly cumbersome to apply as we
have to determine the sign of f ' around the point under consideration.
However, we can avoid determining the sign of derivative f ' around the
point under consideration, say c, if we know the sign of second derivative
f at point c. We shall call it as the second derivative test.
Theorem : (Second Derivative Test)
Let f(x) be a differentiable function on I and let c I. Let f ´ (x) be
continuous at c. Then
1. c is a point of local maximum if both f '(c) = 0 and f (c) < 0.
2. c is a point of local minimum if both f '(c) = 0 and f (c) > 0.
Remark : If f´(c) = 0 and f´´(c) = 0, then the second derivative test fails. In
this case, we use the first derivative test to determine whether c is a point
of local maximum or a point of a local minimum.
We summarize the second – derivative test for local maxima and minima
in the following table.
Second Derivative Test for Local Maxima and Minima
f ( c) f ( c) f ( c)
0 + Local Minimum
0 - Local Maximum
0 0 Test Fails
We shall adopt the following step to determine local maxima and minima.
Steps to find Local Maxima and Local Minima
The function f is assumed to posses the second derivative on the interval I.
Step 1 : Find f ' (x) and set it equal to 0.
Step 2 : Solve f ' (x) = 0 to obtain the critical numbers of f. Let the
solution of this equation be α, ………. We shall consider only those
values of x which lie in I and which are not end points of I.
Step 3 : Evaluate f ´ (α) If f (α) < 0, f (x) has a local maximum at x = α and
its value if f (α) If f (α) > 0, f (x) has a local minimum at x = α and its value
if f (α) If f (α) = 0, apply the first derivative test.
Step 4 : If the list of values in Step 2 is not exhausted, repeat step 3, with
that value.
Example 4: Find the points of local maxima and minima, if any, of each
of the following functions. Find also the local maximum values and local
minimum values.

(i) f (x) = x 6 x 9 x 1 , x

3 2 2
(ii) f(x) = x 2 ax a x ( a 0), x
Solution:

(i) f ´ (x) = 3 x 12 x 9 = 3( x 1)( x3)
To obtain critical number of f, we set f ´ (x) = 0 this yields x = 1, 3.
Therefore, the critical number of f are x = 1, 3.
Now f ´ (x) = 6x – 12 = 6(x – 2)
We have f ´ (1) = 6(1 – 2) = – 6 < 0 and f (3) = 6(3 – 2) = 6 > 0.
Using the second derivative test, we see that f (x) has a local maximum at
x = 1 and a local minimum at x = 3. The value of local maximum at x = 1 is f
(1) = 1– 6+ 9 +1 = 5 and the value of local minimum at x = 3
3 2
is f (3) = 3 – 6(3) + 9(3) + 1 = 27 – 54 + 27 + 1 = 1.
3 2 2
(ii) We have f(x) = x 2ax a x (a 0) Thus,
2 2
f ( x) 3 x 4ax a (3x a )(x a)
As f '(x) is defined for each x R, to obtain critical number of f we set
f '(x) = 0.
This yields x = a/3 or x = a.
Therefore, the critical numbers of f and a/3 and a. Now, f ( a) = 6x – 4a.
We have f ( a / 3) 6( a / 3) 4a 2a 0
and f ( a ) 6a 4a 2a 0
Using the second derivative test, we see that f(x) has a local maximum at x
= a/3 and a local minimum at x = a.

The value of local maximum at x a / 3 is f ( a / 3) 27 a and the value
of local minimum at x = a is f ( a) 0 .
