15 Questions around this concept.
Directions : Questions are Assertion- Reason type questions. Each of these questions contains two statements :
Statement- 1 (Assertion) and Statement - 2 (Reason).
Each of these questions also has four alternative choices, only one of which is the correct answer. You have to select the correct choice.
Question : Let
Statement- 1 : is differentiable at
and its derivative is continuous at that point.
Statement- 2 : is twice differentiable at
.
Let and
, where

Let $\mathrm{g}: \mathbf{R} \rightarrow \mathbf{R}$ be a non constant twice differentiable function such that $\mathrm{g}^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\mathrm{g}^{\prime}\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)$. If a real valued function $f$ is defined as $f(x)=\frac{1}{2}[g(x)+g(2-x)]$, then
If $y=\log \left(x+\sqrt{x^2+a^2}\right)$, then $\left(x^2+a^2\right) \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}$ equals
If $y=2 e^{3 x}+3 e^{2 x}$, then $\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}-5 \frac{d y}{d x}$ equals
Theorems of Differentiability
Theorem 1
If $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are both differentiable functions at $x=a$, then the following functions are also differentiable at $x=a$.
(i) $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) \pm \mathrm{g}(\mathrm{x})$
(ii) $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) \cdot \mathrm{g}(\mathrm{x})$
(iii) $\frac{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})}{\mathrm{g}(\mathrm{x})}$, provided $\mathrm{g}(\mathrm{a}) \neq 0$
Theorem 2
If $f(x)$ is differentiable at $x=a$ and $g(x)$ is not differentiable at $x=a$, then $f(x) \pm g(x)$ will not be differentiable at $x=a$.
For example, $\cos (x)+|x|$ is not differentiable at $x=0$, as $\cos (x)$ is differentiable at $x=0$, but $|x|$ is not differentiable at $x=0$.
In other cases, $f(x). g(x)$ and $f(x) / g(x)$ may or may not be differentiable at $x=a$, and hence should be checked using LHD-RHD, continuity or graph.
For example, if $f(x)=0$ (differentiable at $x=0$ ) and $g(x)=|x|$ (non-differentiable at $x=0$ ). Their product is $f(x) \cdot g(x)=0$ which is differentiable. But if $f(x)=2$, $g(x)=|x|$, then $f(x)$. $g(x)=2|x|$ is non-differentiable at $x=0$.
Theorem 3
If $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ both are non-differentiable functions at $x=a$, then the function obtained by algebraic operation of $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ may or may not be differentiable at $x=a$. Hence they should be checked.
For example, Let $f(x)=|x|$, not differentiable at $x=0$ and $g(x)=-|x|$ which is also not differentiable at $x=0$. Their sum $=0$ is differentiable and the difference $=2|x|$ is not differentiable. So there is no definite rule.
Theorem 4
Differentiation of a continuous function may or may not be continuous.
