Math Problem Statement

Q1: Choose the correct alternative for the following questions: (i) For x ∈ R, cosh(-x) = ? (ii) If y = (ax + b)^m, then d^n y/dx^n = ? (iii) If f is continuous in [a, b] and differentiable in (a, b), find the point c such that f'(c) = ? (iv) Evaluate ∫(0 to π/2) sin^5(x) dx. (v) What is the process of determining the length of the arc of plane curves called?

Solution

Let us solve the questions one by one:


(i) For xR,cosh(x)=x \in \mathbb{R}, \cosh(-x) =

Recall the property of hyperbolic cosine:
cosh(x)=cosh(x).\cosh(-x) = \cosh(x).
Thus, the correct answer is:
(a) cosh(x)\cosh(x).


(ii) If y=(ax+b)my = (ax + b)^m, then dnydxn=\frac{d^n y}{dx^n} =

Using the general formula for nn-th derivatives of a function of the form (ax+b)m(ax + b)^m:
dnydxn=m!(mn)!an(ax+b)mn,\frac{d^n y}{dx^n} = \frac{m!}{(m-n)!} a^n (ax + b)^{m-n},
where m!m! is the factorial of mm.

Thus, the correct answer is:
(a) m!(mn)!an(ax+b)mn\frac{m!}{(m-n)!} a^n (ax + b)^{m-n}.


(iii) If ff is continuous on [a,b][a, b] and differentiable in (a,b)(a, b), then there exists at least one point c(a,b)c \in (a, b) such that

f(c)=f(b)f(a)ba.f'(c) = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}.

This result is the Mean Value Theorem (MVT). The given expression matches the formula:
f(b)f(a)ba.\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}.

Thus, the correct answer is:
(c) f(b)f(a)ba\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}.


(iv) Evaluate 0π/2sin5xdx\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \sin^5 x \, dx:

Using the reduction formula for sinnxdx\int \sin^n x \, dx:
[ \int \sin^n x , dx = \frac{n-1}{n} \int \sin
