Question
Differentiate the following functions from first principles:
$\text{e}^{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}$

Answer

Let $\text{f(x)}=\text{e}^{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\text{x}+\text{h})=\text{e}^{\sqrt{2(\text{x}+\text{h})}}$
$\therefore\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{f(x)})=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{f}(\text{x}+\text{h})-\text{f}(\text{x})}{\text{h}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0 }\frac{\text{e}^{\sqrt{2(\text{x}+\text{h})}}-\text{e}^{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}}{\text{h}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{e}^{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}\frac{\text{e}^{\sqrt{2(\text{x}+\text{h})}-\sqrt{2\text{x}}}-1}{\text{h}}$
$=\text{e}^{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\Bigg(\frac{\big(\text{e}^{2(\text{x}+\text{h})-\sqrt{2\text{x}}}-1\big)}{\sqrt{2(\text{x}+\text{h})}-\sqrt{2\text{x}}}\Bigg)\bigg(\frac{\sqrt{2(\text{x}+\text{h})}-\sqrt{2\text{x}}}{\text{h}}\bigg)$
$=\text{e}^{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{2}(\text{x}+\text{h})-\sqrt{2\text{x}}}{\text{h}}\ \Big[\text{Since},\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{e}^\text{h}-1}{\text{h}}=1\Big]$
$=\text{e}^{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sqrt{2(\text{x}+\text{h})}-\sqrt{2\text{x}}}{\text{h}}\times\frac{\sqrt{2(\text{x}+\text{h})}+\sqrt{2\text{x}}}{\sqrt{2(\text{x}+\text{x})}+\sqrt{2\text{x}}}$
$[\text{Rationalizing the numerator]}$
$=\text{de}^{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{2(\text{x}+\text{h})-2\text{x}}{\text{h}\big(\sqrt{2(\text{x}+\text{h})}+\sqrt{2\text{x}}\big)}$
$=\text{e}^{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{2\text{x}+2\text{h}-2\text{x}}{\text{h}\big(\sqrt{2}(\text{x}+\text{h})+\sqrt{2\text{x}}\big)}$
$=\text{e}^{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{2\text{h}}{\text{h}\big(\sqrt{2(\text{x}+\text{h})}+\sqrt{2\text{x}}\big)}$
$=\text{e}^{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{2\text{h}}{\big(\sqrt{2(\text{x}+\text{h})}+\sqrt{2\text{x}}\big)}$
$=\frac{\text{e}^{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}}{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}$
So,
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\big(\text{e}^{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}\big)=\frac{\text{e}^{2\text{x}}}{\sqrt{2\text{x}}}$

A company manufactures two types of screws A and B. All the screws have to pass through a threading machine and a slotting machine. A box of Type A screws requires 2 minutes on the threading machine and 3 minutes on the slotting machine. A box of type B screws requires 8 minutes of threading on the threading machine and 2 minutes on the slotting machine. In a week, each machine is available for 60 hours.
On selling these screws, the company gets a profit of Rs 100 per box on type A screws and Rs 170 per box on type B screws.
