Differentiate the following functions from first principles:
$\log\cos\text{x}$

✓

Answer

Let $\text{f(x)} = \log \cos \text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{f}(\text{x}+\text{h})=\log\cos(\text{x}+\text{h})$
$\therefore \frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\{\text{f(x)}\}=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{f}(\text{x}+\text{h})=\text{f(x)}}{\text{h}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\log\cos(\text{x}+\text{h})-\log\cos\text{x}}{\text{h}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\log^{\log(\text{x}+\text{h})}_{\cos\text{x}}}{\text{h}}\ \Big[\because\ \log\text{A}-\log\text{B}=\log\Big(\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}\Big)\Big]$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\log\Big[1+\left\{\frac{\cos(\text{z}+\text{h})}{\cos\text{z}}-1\right\}\Big]}{\text{h}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\log\left\{1+\frac{\cos(\text{x}+\text{h})-\cos\text{z}}{\cos\text{z}}\right\}}{\left\{\frac{\cos(\text{x}+\text{h})-\cos\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}}\right\}}\times\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\left\{\frac{\cos(\text{x}+\text{h})-\cos\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}}\right\}$
$=1\times\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\cos(\text{x}+\text{h})-\cos\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}\times\text{h}}\ \Big[\because\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\log(1+\text{x})}{\text{x}}=1\Big]$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{-2\sin\Big(\frac{\text{x}+\text{h}+\text{x}}{2}\Big)\sin\Big(\frac{\text{x}+\text{h}+\text{x}}{2}\Big)}{\cos\text{x}\times\text{h}}$
$=-2\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin\Big(\frac{2\text{x}+\text{h}}{2}\Big)\times\sin\big(\frac{\text{h}}{2}\big)}{2\cos\text{x}\times\big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\big)}$
$=\frac{-2\sin\text{x}}{2\cos\text{x}}\Big[\because \lim\limits\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}=1\Big]$
$=-\tan\text{x}$
So,
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\log\cos\text{x})=-\tan\text{x}$

A farmer has a 100 acre farm. He can sell the tomatoes, lettuce, or radishes he can raise. The price he can obtain is Rs 1 per kilogram for tomatoes, Rs 0.75 a head for lettuce and Rs 2 per kilogram for radishes. The average yield per acre is 2000 kgs for radishes, 3000 heads of lettuce and 1000 kilograms of radishes. Fertilizer is available at Rs 0.50 per kg and the amount required per acre is 100 kgs each for tomatoes and lettuce and 50 kilograms for radishes. Labour required for sowing, cultivating and harvesting per acre is 5 man-days for tomatoes and radishes and 6 man-days for lettuce. A total of 400 man-days of labour are available at Rs 20 per man-day. Formulate this problem as a LPP to maximize the farmer's total profit.

A manufacturer has three machine operators A, B and C. The first operator A produces 1% of defective items, whereas the other two operators B and C produces 5% and 7% defective items respectively. A is on the job for 50% of the time, B on the job 30% of the time and C on the job for 20% of the time. All the items are put into one stockpile and then one item is chosen at random from this and is found to be defective. What is the probability that it was produced by A?
