Rbse Solutions Class 12 Maths Chapter 5 Exercise 5.3: Implicit Differentiation and Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Implicit Differentiation (Questions 1 – 8)

When differentiating implicitly, remember that $\frac{d}{dx}(y) = \frac{dy}{dx}$ and use the Chain Rule for any function of $y$, such that $\frac{d}{dx}(f(y)) = f'(y) \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}$.

1. $2x + 3y = \sin x$

Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$:

$$\frac{d}{dx}(2x) + \frac{d}{dx}(3y) = \frac{d}{dx}(\sin x)$$

$$2 + 3 \frac{dy}{dx} = \cos x$$

$$3 \frac{dy}{dx} = \cos x – 2$$

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\cos x – 2}{3}}$$


2. $2x + 3y = \sin y$

Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$:

$$\frac{d}{dx}(2x) + \frac{d}{dx}(3y) = \frac{d}{dx}(\sin y)$$

$$2 + 3 \frac{dy}{dx} = \cos y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}$$

Rearrange to solve for $\frac{dy}{dx}$:

$$2 = \cos y \frac{dy}{dx} – 3 \frac{dy}{dx}$$

$$2 = \frac{dy}{dx} (\cos y – 3)$$

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{\cos y – 3}}$$


3. $ax + by^2 = \cos y$

Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$:

$$\frac{d}{dx}(ax) + \frac{d}{dx}(by^2) = \frac{d}{dx}(\cos y)$$

$$a + b (2y) \frac{dy}{dx} = (-\sin y) \frac{dy}{dx}$$

Rearrange to solve for $\frac{dy}{dx}$:

$$a = -\sin y \frac{dy}{dx} – 2by \frac{dy}{dx}$$

$$a = – \frac{dy}{dx} (\sin y + 2by)$$

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = – \frac{a}{\sin y + 2by}}$$


4. $xy + y^2 = \tan x + y$

Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$. Use the Product Rule for $xy$:

$$\frac{d}{dx}(xy) + \frac{d}{dx}(y^2) = \frac{d}{dx}(\tan x) + \frac{d}{dx}(y)$$

$$\left(x \frac{dy}{dx} + y \cdot 1\right) + 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = \sec^2 x + \frac{dy}{dx}$$

Group terms with $\frac{dy}{dx}$ on one side:

$$x \frac{dy}{dx} + 2y \frac{dy}{dx} – \frac{dy}{dx} = \sec^2 x – y$$

$$\frac{dy}{dx} (x + 2y – 1) = \sec^2 x – y$$

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sec^2 x – y}{x + 2y – 1}}$$


5. $x^2 + xy + y^2 = 100$

Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$. Use the Product Rule for $xy$:

$$\frac{d}{dx}(x^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(xy) + \frac{d}{dx}(y^2) = \frac{d}{dx}(100)$$

$$2x + \left(x \frac{dy}{dx} + y \cdot 1\right) + 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$$

Group terms with $\frac{dy}{dx}$:

$$x \frac{dy}{dx} + 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = -2x – y$$

$$\frac{dy}{dx} (x + 2y) = -(2x + y)$$

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = – \frac{2x + y}{x + 2y}}$$


6. $x^3 + x^2y + xy^2 + y^3 = 81$

Differentiating term by term with respect to $x$. Use the Product Rule for $x^2y$ and $xy^2$:

$$\frac{d}{dx}(x^3) + \frac{d}{dx}(x^2y) + \frac{d}{dx}(xy^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(y^3) = \frac{d}{dx}(81)$$

$$3x^2 + \left(x^2 \frac{dy}{dx} + y \cdot 2x\right) + \left(x \cdot 2y \frac{dy}{dx} + y^2 \cdot 1\right) + 3y^2 \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$$

Group terms with $\frac{dy}{dx}$:

$$\frac{dy}{dx} (x^2 + 2xy + 3y^2) = – (3x^2 + 2xy + y^2)$$

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = – \frac{3x^2 + 2xy + y^2}{x^2 + 2xy + 3y^2}}$$


7. $\sin^2 y + \cos(xy) = \kappa$ (where $\kappa$ is a constant)

Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$:

$$\frac{d}{dx}(\sin^2 y) + \frac{d}{dx}(\cos(xy)) = \frac{d}{dx}(\kappa)$$

Use the Chain Rule for $\sin^2 y = (\sin y)^2$:

$$2 \sin y \cdot \cos y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} + (-\sin(xy)) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(xy) = 0$$

Using the identity $2 \sin y \cos y = \sin(2y)$ and the Product Rule for $xy$:

$$\sin(2y) \frac{dy}{dx} – \sin(xy) \left(x \frac{dy}{dx} + y \cdot 1\right) = 0$$

$$\sin(2y) \frac{dy}{dx} – x \sin(xy) \frac{dy}{dx} – y \sin(xy) = 0$$

Group terms with $\frac{dy}{dx}$:

$$\frac{dy}{dx} (\sin(2y) – x \sin(xy)) = y \sin(xy)$$

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y \sin(xy)}{\sin(2y) – x \sin(xy)}}$$


8. $\sin^2 x + \cos^2 y = 1$

Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$:

$$\frac{d}{dx}(\sin^2 x) + \frac{d}{dx}(\cos^2 y) = \frac{d}{dx}(1)$$

$$2 \sin x \cdot \cos x + 2 \cos y \cdot (-\sin y) \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$$

Using the identities $2 \sin x \cos x = \sin(2x)$ and $2 \cos y \sin y = \sin(2y)$:

$$\sin(2x) – \sin(2y) \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$$

$$\sin(2x) = \sin(2y) \frac{dy}{dx}$$

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sin(2x)}{\sin(2y)}}$$


Inverse Trigonometric Functions (Questions 9 – 15)

These problems are best solved by using an appropriate trigonometric substitution to simplify the inner expression and then applying the derivative formula $\frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1} x) = \frac{1}{1+x^2}$, etc.

9. $y = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1 + x^2}\right), -1 < x < 1$

Substitution: Let $x = \tan \theta$. Then $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$.

$$y = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2 \tan \theta}{1 + \tan^2 \theta}\right)$$

Using the identity $\sin(2\theta) = \frac{2 \tan \theta}{1 + \tan^2 \theta}$:

$$y = \sin^{-1}(\sin(2\theta))$$

Since $-1 < x < 1$, we have $-\frac{\pi}{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$, so $-\frac{\pi}{2} < 2\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$. Within this range, $\sin^{-1}(\sin(2\theta)) = 2\theta$.

$$y = 2\theta$$

Substituting back $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$:

$$y = 2 \tan^{-1} x$$

Differentiating with respect to $x$:

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{1 + x^2}}$$


10. $y = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3x – x^3}{1 – 3x^2}\right), -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} < x < \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Substitution: Let $x = \tan \theta$. Then $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$.

$$y = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3 \tan \theta – \tan^3 \theta}{1 – 3 \tan^2 \theta}\right)$$

Using the identity $\tan(3\theta) = \frac{3 \tan \theta – \tan^3 \theta}{1 – 3 \tan^2 \theta}$:

$$y = \tan^{-1}(\tan(3\theta))$$

Since $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} < x < \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$, we have $-\frac{\pi}{6} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{6}$, so $-\frac{\pi}{2} < 3\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$. Within this range, $\tan^{-1}(\tan(3\theta)) = 3\theta$.

$$y = 3\theta$$

Substituting back $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$:

$$y = 3 \tan^{-1} x$$

Differentiating with respect to $x$:

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3}{1 + x^2}}$$


11. $y = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1 – x^2}{1 + x^2}\right), 0 < x < 1$

Substitution: Let $x = \tan \theta$. Then $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$.

$$y = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1 – \tan^2 \theta}{1 + \tan^2 \theta}\right)$$

Using the identity $\cos(2\theta) = \frac{1 – \tan^2 \theta}{1 + \tan^2 \theta}$:

$$y = \cos^{-1}(\cos(2\theta))$$

Since $0 < x < 1$, we have $0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$, so $0 < 2\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$. Within this range, $\cos^{-1}(\cos(2\theta)) = 2\theta$.

$$y = 2\theta$$

Substituting back $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$:

$$y = 2 \tan^{-1} x$$

Differentiating with respect to $x$:

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{1 + x^2}}$$


12. $y = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1 – x^2}{1 + x^2}\right), 0 < x < 1$

Substitution: Let $x = \tan \theta$. Then $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$.

$$y = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1 – \tan^2 \theta}{1 + \tan^2 \theta}\right)$$

Using the identity $\cos(2\theta) = \frac{1 – \tan^2 \theta}{1 + \tan^2 \theta}$:

$$y = \sin^{-1}(\cos(2\theta))$$

Using the complementary angle identity $\cos A = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} – A\right)$:

$$y = \sin^{-1}\left(\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} – 2\theta\right)\right)$$

Since $0 < 2\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$, we have $0 < \frac{\pi}{2} – 2\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$. Within this range, $\sin^{-1}(\sin A) = A$.

$$y = \frac{\pi}{2} – 2\theta$$

Substituting back $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$:

$$y = \frac{\pi}{2} – 2 \tan^{-1} x$$

Differentiating with respect to $x$:

$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) – 2 \frac{d}{dx}(\tan^{-1} x)$$

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 – \frac{2}{1 + x^2} = – \frac{2}{1 + x^2}}$$


13. $y = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1 + x^2}\right), -1 < x < 1$

Substitution: Let $x = \tan \theta$. Then $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$.

$$y = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2 \tan \theta}{1 + \tan^2 \theta}\right)$$

Using the identity $\sin(2\theta) = \frac{2 \tan \theta}{1 + \tan^2 \theta}$:

$$y = \cos^{-1}(\sin(2\theta))$$

Using the complementary angle identity $\sin A = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2} – A\right)$:

$$y = \cos^{-1}\left(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2} – 2\theta\right)\right)$$

Since $-1 < x < 1$, we have $-\frac{\pi}{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$, so $-\frac{\pi}{2} < 2\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$. This means $0 < \frac{\pi}{2} – 2\theta < \pi$. Within this range, $\cos^{-1}(\cos A) = A$.

$$y = \frac{\pi}{2} – 2\theta$$

Substituting back $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$:

$$y = \frac{\pi}{2} – 2 \tan^{-1} x$$

Differentiating with respect to $x$:

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = – \frac{2}{1 + x^2}}$$


14. $y = \sin^{-1}(2x\sqrt{1 – x^2}), -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} < x < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Substitution: Let $x = \sin \theta$. Then $\theta = \sin^{-1} x$.

$$y = \sin^{-1}(2 \sin \theta \sqrt{1 – \sin^2 \theta})$$

Using the identity $\cos \theta = \sqrt{1 – \sin^2 \theta}$:

$$y = \sin^{-1}(2 \sin \theta \cos \theta)$$

Using the identity $\sin(2\theta) = 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta$:

$$y = \sin^{-1}(\sin(2\theta))$$

Since $-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} < x < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$, we have $-\frac{\pi}{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$, so $-\frac{\pi}{2} < 2\theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$. Within this range, $\sin^{-1}(\sin(2\theta)) = 2\theta$.

$$y = 2\theta$$

Substituting back $\theta = \sin^{-1} x$:

$$y = 2 \sin^{-1} x$$

Differentiating with respect to $x$:

$$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sin^{-1} x)$$

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{1 – x^2}}}$$


15. $y = \sec^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2x^2 – 1}\right), 0 < x < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Substitution: Let $x = \cos \theta$. Then $\theta = \cos^{-1} x$.

$$y = \sec^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2 \cos^2 \theta – 1}\right)$$

Using the identity $\cos(2\theta) = 2 \cos^2 \theta – 1$:

$$y = \sec^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\cos(2\theta)}\right)$$

Using the identity $\sec(A) = \frac{1}{\cos(A)}$:

$$y = \sec^{-1}(\sec(2\theta))$$

Since $0 < x < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$, we have $\frac{\pi}{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$, so $\frac{\pi}{2} < 2\theta < \pi$.

The range of $\sec^{-1} A$ is $[0, \pi] – \{\frac{\pi}{2}\}$.

Since $\frac{\pi}{2} < 2\theta < \pi$, $\sec^{-1}(\sec(2\theta)) = 2\theta$.

$$y = 2\theta$$

Substituting back $\theta = \cos^{-1} x$:

$$y = 2 \cos^{-1} x$$

Differentiating with respect to $x$:

$$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\cos^{-1} x)$$

$$\mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-2}{\sqrt{1 – x^2}}}$$
