If the value ofA for which the equation cot^(3)A+cot^(2)A|cotA+x|+|cot^(2) Ax+1|=1 has not less than 6 different solutions which are integers are [cot^(-1)alpha, pi)uu[cot^(-1)beta,cot^(-1)gamma] then

Answer»


Solution :Let `cotA=a` then `a^(3)+a^(2)|a+x|+|a^(2)x+1|=1`
`|a^(3)+a^(2)x|+|a^(2)x+1|=(a^(2)+1)-(a^(2)x+a^(3))`
`|ALPHA|+|beta|=alpha=beta`
So, `alpha ge 0` and `beta LE0`
Now take cases: `a le -1`and `-1 lt le 0` & `0lt ale 1`
Finally we get `aepsilon (-oo,-5]uu[1/(sqrt(5)),1/(sqrt(6))]`

A toy company manufactures two types of dolls A and B. Market research and available resources have indicated that the combined production level should not exceed 1200 dolls per week and thedemand for dolls of type B is at most half of that for dolls of type A. Further the production level of dolls of type A can exceed three times the production of dolls of other type by at most 600 units. If the company makes profit of Rs. 12 and Rs. 16 per doll respectively on dolls A and B how many of each should be produced weekly in order to maximise the profit?

Answer»

Solution :Let the company MAKES `x` DOLLS of type Aand `y` dolls to type B.
`:.` Maximise `Z=12x+16y`
`XGE0,yge0`……………. 1
`x+yle1200`…………….2
`ylex//2impliesx-2yge0`……………3
`xle3y+600impliesx-3yle600`……………….4
First, draw the graph of the line `x+y=1200`

Put `(0,0)` in the inequation `x+yle1200`,
`0+le1000implies0le1200` (True)
Thus, the half plane contains the origin.
Now, draw the graph of the line `x-2y=0`.

Put `(200,0)` in the ineuation `x-2ygt0`,
`2002x0ge0implies200ge0` (True)
Therefore, half plane is on the side of `x`-axis.
Now, draw the graph of the line `x-3y=600`.

Put `(0,0)` in the inequation `x-3yle600`
`0+3xx0le600implies0le600` (True)
Thus, the half plane contains the origin.
Since `x,yge0`. So, the feasible region is in first quadrant.
The point of intersection of the lines `x-3y=600` and `x+y=1200` is `B(1050,150)` and for the lines `x=2y` and `x+y=1200` is `C(800,400)`.
`:.` Feasible region is OABCO.
The vertices of the feasible region are `A(600,0),B(1050,150)` and `C(800,400)`. We find the value of `Z` at these vertices.

Maximum value of `Z` is 16000 at `C(800,400)`.
Therefore, to obtain maximum PROFIT of RS. 16000, 800 dolls of type A and 400 dolls of type B should be produced.
