Question
Differentiate the following functions with respect to x:
$\log\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos\text{x}}{1+\cos\text{x}}}$

Answer

Let, $\text{y}=\log\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos\text{x}}{1+\cos\text{x}}}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{y}=\log\Big(\frac{1-\cos\text{x}}{1+\cos\text{x}}\Big)^\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{y}=\frac{1}{2}\log\Big(\frac{1-\cos\text{x}}{1+\cos\text{x}}\Big) \big[\text{Using }\log\text{a}^\text{b}=\text{b}\log\text{a}\big]$
Differentiate with respect to x we get,
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\Big\{\frac{1}{2}\log\Big(\frac{1-\cos\text{x}}{1+\cos\text{x}}\Big)\Big\}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{\Big(\frac{1-\cos\text{x}}{1+\cos\text{x}}\Big)}\times\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\Big(\frac{1-\cos\text{x}}{1+\cos\text{x}}\Big)$
[Using chain rule]
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{1+\cos\text{x}}{1-\cos\text{x}}\Big)\bigg[\frac{(1+\cos\text{x})\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(1-\cos\text{x})-(1-\cos\text{x})\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(1+\cos\text{x})}{(1+\cos\text{x})^2}\bigg]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{1+\cos\text{x}}{1-\cos\text{x}}\Big)\bigg[\frac{(1+\cos\text{x})(\sin\text{x})-(1-\cos\text{x})(-\sin\text{x})}{(1+\cos\text{x})^2}\bigg]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{1+\cos\text{x}}{1-\cos\text{x}}\Big)\Big[\frac{\sin\text{x}+\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}+\sin\text{x}-\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}}{(1+\cos\text{x})^2}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{1+\cos\text{x}}{1-\cos\text{x}}\Big)\Big[\frac{2\sin\text{x}}{(1+\cos\text{x})^2}\Big]$
$=\frac{\sin\text{x}}{(1-\cos\text{x})(1+\cos\text{x})}$
$=\frac{\sin\text{x}}{1-\cos^2\text{x}}$
$=\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\sin^2\text{x}}$
$=\frac{1}{\sin\text{x}}$
$=\text{cosec x}$
So,
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\Big(\log\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos\text{x}}{1+\cos\text{x}}}\Big)=\text{cosec x}$

Kellogg is a new cereal formed of a mixture of bran and rice that contains at least 88 grams of protein and at least 36 milligrams of iron. Knowing that bran contains 80 grams of protein and 40 milligrams of iron per kilogram, and that rice contains 100 grams of protein and 30 milligrams of iron per kilogram, find the minimum cost of producing this new cereal if bran costs Rs. 5 per kg and rice costs Rs 4 per kg.
