Solution

Let's analyze the mathematical questions from the uploaded image.


1. Continuity and Differentiability of the given function:

  • The first part asks you to examine the continuity and differentiability of the function f(x)=x1+x2f(x) = |x - 1| + |x - 2| on the interval [1,2][1, 2].
    • Continuity: A piecewise absolute function like this is continuous on [1,2][1, 2], since the absolute value functions are continuous everywhere.
    • Differentiability: To check differentiability, we need to see if there are any points where the derivative doesn't exist (typically where x=1x = 1 or x=2x = 2, since the function changes behavior at these points).

2. Euler's Theorem Verification:

  • Problem (a): Verify Euler's theorem for: u=x2tan1(yx)y2cos1(xy)u = x^2 \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{x}\right) - y^2 \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)
    • Euler's theorem involves homogeneous functions and partial derivatives.
    • The objective here is to verify if Euler's theorem holds for this function.

3. Prove Independence of u,v,wu, v, w:
