Class 12 NCERT Solutions – Mathematics Part I – Chapter 5 Continuity And Differentiability – Exercise 5.5 | Set 1
Differentiate the functions given in question 1 to 10 with respect to x.
Question 1. cos x.cos2x.cos3x
Solution:
Let us considered y = cos x.cos2x.cos3x
Now taking log on both sides, we get
log y = log(cos x.cos2x.cos3x)
log y = log(cos x) + log(cos 2x) + log (cos 3x)
Now, on differentiating w.r.t x, we get
= -y(tan x + 2tan 2x + 3 tan 3x)
= -(cos x. cos 2x. cos 3x)(tan x + 2tan 2x + 3tan 3x)
Question 2. 
Solution:
Let us considered y =
Now taking log on both sides, we get
log y =
log y =
(log(x – 1)(x – 2)(x – 3)(x – 4)(x – 5))
log y =
(log(x – 1) + log(x – 2) – log(x – 3) – log(x – 4) – log(x – 5))
Now, on differentiating w.r.t x, we get
Question 3. (log x)cos x
Solution:
Let us considered y = (log x)cos x
Now taking log on both sides, we get
log y = log((log x)cos x)
log y = cos x(log(log x))
Now, on differentiating w.r.t x, we get
Question 4. xx – 2sin x
Solution:
Given: y = xx – 2sin x
Let us considered y = u – v
Where, u = xx and v = 2sin x
So, dy/dx = du/dx – dv/dx ………(1)
So first we take u = xx
On taking log on both sides, we get
log u = log xx
log u = x log x
Now, on differentiating w.r.t x, we get
du/dx = u(1 + log x)
du/dx = xx(1 + log x) ………(2)
Now we take v = 2sin x
On taking log on both sides, we get
log v = log (2sinx)
log v = sin x log2
Now, on differentiating w.r.t x, we get
dv/dx = v(log2cos x)
dv/dx = 2sin xcos xlog2 ………(3)
Now put all the values from eq(2) and (3) into eq(1)
dy/dx = xx(1 + log x) – 2sin xcos xlog2
Question 5. (x + 3)2.(x + 4)3.(x + 5)4
Solution:
Let us considered y = (x + 3)2.(x + 4)3.(x + 5)4
Now taking log on both sides, we get
log y = log[(x + 3)3.(x + 4)3.(x + 5)4]
log y = 2 log(x + 3) + 3 log(x + 4) + 4 log(x + 5)
Now, on differentiating w.r.t x, we get

log u = log(sin x)x
log u = xlog(sin x)

Question 9. x sin x + (sin x)cos x
Solution:
Given: y = x sin x + (sin x)cos x
