A company manufactures two types of lamps say A and B. Both lamps go through a cutter and then a finisher. Lamp A requires 2 hours of the cutter's time and 1 hours of the finisher's time. Lamp B requires 1 hour of cutter's and 2 hours of finisher time. The cutter has 100 hours and finisher has 80 hours of time available each month. Profit on one lamp A is Rs. 7.00 and on one lamp B is Rs. 13.00. Assuming that he can sell all that he produces, how many of each type of lamps should be manufactured to obtain maximum profit?

Solve: 1(1/ysinx/y-y/x^(2)cosy/x+1)dx+(1/xcosy/x-x/y^(2)sin y/x+1/y^(2))dy=0

Answer»

Solution :We have,
`(DX)/y-(XDY)/(y^(2))sinx/y+(dy)/(x)-(YDX)/(x^(2))cosy/x+dx+(dy)/y^(2)=0`
`THEREFORE (ydx-xdy)/(y^(2))sinx/y+(xdy-ydx)/(x^(2))cosy/x+dx+(dy)/(y^(2))=0`
`rArr sinx/y.d(x/y)+cosy/x.d(y/x)+dx+(dy)/y^(2)=0`
Integrating, we get
`-cosx/y+siny/x+x-1/y=C`

`f'(x)ltf(X),1//4ltxlt3//4`
`f'(x)GTF(X),0ltxlt1//4`
`f'(x)ltf(X),0ltxlt1//4`
`f'(x)ltf(X),3//4ltxlt1`

Solution :LET `g(X)=e^(-x)f(x)`
As `g(x)0 g(x)` is INCREASING

Consider the inequality, 9^(x)-a.3^(x)-a+3 le 0, where 'a' is a real parameter. (a) Find the value of 'a' for which the inequality has at least one negative solution. (b) Find the values of 'a' for which the inequality has at least one positive solution. (c) Find the vlaues of 'a' for which the inequality has at least one real solution.

Answer»

Solution :`""9^(X)-a. 3^(x)-a+3 le 0`
Let `""t=3^(x)`
`RARR""t^(2)-at-a+3 le 0`
or `""t^(2)+3 le a(t+1)""` (i)
where `""t in R^(+) ` for `AA x in R`

Let `f_(1)(t)=t^(2)+3 and f_(2)(t)= a (t+1)`
(a) For `x lt 0, t in (0, 1)`. That means (i) should have at least one solution in `t in (0, 1)`.
From (i), it is obvious that `a in R^(+)`.
Now `f_(2)(t)= a(t+1)` represents a straight line. It should MEET the curve.
`f_(1)(t)=t^(2)+3`, at least once in `t in (0, 1)`.
`f_(1)(0)= 3, f_(1)(0) rArr a=3, "if" f_(1)(1)= f_(2)(1)=a =2`
Hence REQUIRED `a in (2, 3)`.
(b) For at least one positive solution, `t in (1, oo)`. That means the graphs of `f_(1)(t)=t^(2)+3 and f_(2)(t)= a(t+1)` should meet at least once in `t in (1, oo)`.
If `a=2`, both curves touch each other at `(1, 4)`.
Hence required `a in (2, oo)`.
(c) In this CASE, both graphs should meet at least once in `t in (0, oo)`.
For `a=2`, both curves touch, hence required `a in [2, oo)`.

Viktor got very famous in Hogwarts after he broke all records in the tile game. Even Hermoine was impressed. Ron out of envy, decided to challenge Viktor with one of his chess puzzles. If Viktor could not solve the puzzle, Viktor can not ask Hermoine out to the ball. Viktor needs all the help he can to solve the puzzle, so help him out. The puzzle is described as follows:On a 3 xx 3 chess board, 4 knights, 3 rooks and 2 bishops (of the same color) must be arranged in such a way that each piece must be protected: 1. in the final arrangement. 2. in the positions where either of the 4 knights/3 rooks/2 bishops are placed in their final place.Let the pieces be assigned numbers as follows: Knight=2, Bishop=3, Rook=5 on black squares and respective negative values on white squares. Find out the “sum” of all pieces in the arranged position. (Assume there are 5 black squares on the chess board).

At a point P on the ellipse (x^(2))/(a^(2))+(y^(2))/(b^(2)) =1 tangents PQ is drawn. If the point Q be at a distance (1)/(p) from the point P, where 'p' is distance of the tangent from the origin, then the locus of the point Q is

Answer»

<P>`(x^(2))/(a^(2))+(y^(2))/(b^(2)) =1+(1)/(a^(2)b^(2))`
`(x^(2))/(a^(2))-(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1-(1)/(a^(2)b^(2))`
`(x^(2))/(a^(2))+(y^(2))/(b^(2))=(1)/(a^(2)b^(2))`
`(x^(2))/(a^(2))-(y^(2))/(b^(2))=(1)/(a^(2)b^(2))`

Solution :Equation of the tangent at P is
`(x -a cos theta)/(asin theta) = (y-b sin theta)/(-b cos theta)`

The distance of the tangent from the origin is
`p = |(ab)/(sqrt(b^(2)cos^(2)theta+a^(2)sin^(2)theta))|`
`rArr (1)/(p) = (sqrt(b^(2)cos^(2)theta+a^(2)sin^(2)theta))/(ab)`
Now the coordinates of the POINT Q are given as follows
`((x-a cos theta)/(-a sin theta))/(sqrt(b^(2)cos^(2)theta+a^(2)sin^(2)theta)) =((y-b sin theta)/(bcos theta))/(sqrt(b^(2)cos^(2)theta+a^(2)sin^(2)theta)) =(1)/(p) = (sqrt(b^(2)cos^(2)theta+a^(2)sin^(2)theta))/(ab)`
`rArr x = a cos theta -(a sin theta)/(ab)` and `y = b sin theta (b cos theta)/(ab)`
`rArr ((x)/(a))^(2) + ((y)/(b))^(2) =1+ (1)/(a^(2)b^(2))` is the required LOCUS.
