Q#1 Calculus GATE EE 2025 (Set 1) NAT +2 marks -0 marks

Let . The rate of change of the real valued function,

 

at the origin in the direction of the point  is __________ (round off to the nearest integer).

Explanation:

 

 

 

 

 

Unity vector directed from  to ,

 

Rate of change of  at  in direction of point

 

 

 

=0 (round off to Nearest Integer).

Q#3 Calculus GATE EE 2024 (Set 1) MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

Let  be a real-valued function whose second derivative is positive for . Which of the following statements is/are always true?

 has at least one local minimum.

 cannot have two distinct local minima.

 has at least one local maximum.

The minimum value of  cannot be negative.

Explanation:

 

This means the f’(t) is a monotonically increasing function.

Hence, f’(t) can be zero at most once and hence there can only be at most one local minima.

Since, double derivative is always positive so we cannot comment on local maxima.

Q#4 Calculus GATE EE 2024 (Set 1) MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

Consider the function  for , where  denotes the maximum of  and . Which of the following statements is/are true?

 is not differentiable.

 is differentiable and its derivative is continuous.

 is differentiable but its derivative is not continuous.

 and its derivative are differentiable.

Explanation:

The graph of f(t) is as shown below,

 The derivative of f(t) is given by

 exists and is continuous.

Q#5 Calculus GATE EE 2023 (Set 1) MSQ +2 marks -0 marks

Consider the following equation in a 2-D real-space.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are true.

When , the area enclosed by the curve is .

When  tends to , the area enclosed by the curve tends to 4.

When  tends to 0, the area enclosed by the curve is 1.

When , the area enclosed by the curve is 2.

Explanation:

(a) if p = 2

Equation

This equation represents a circle of radius = 1

 

(b) if p → ∞ then x1 & x2 ≤ 1 else if any of these values is > 1 then or  so sum cannot be 1

If |x1| < 1  ∴ |x2| = 1 for sum to be 1

If |x2| < 1  ∴ |x1| = 1 for sum to be 1

The shape looks like as shown below,

(c) if  then  non-zero values of  &  

Sum = 2

Hence if x1 ≠ 0 x2 must be zero & vice versa so curve looks like as shown below,

No closed curve exists & area = 0

(d) if P = 1, equation becomes |x1| + |x2| = 1

Curve looks like as shown below

The closed curve shown in the figure is described by , where ;

. The magnitude of the line integral of the vector field  around the closed curve is __________ (Round off to 2 decimal places).

Explanation:

x = r cosθ dx = -r sinθdθ

y = r sin θ dy = r cos θ dθ

 on closed curve
