Question
Differentiate the following functions with respect to x:
$(\sin\text{x})^{\log\text{x}}$

Answer

Let $\text{y}=(\sin\text{x})^{\log\text{x}}\ .....(\text{i})$
Taking log on both sides,
$\log\text{y}=\log(\sin\text{x})^{\log\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow\log\text{y}=\log\text{x}\log\sin\text{x}$
Differentiating with respect to x,
$\frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\log\text{x}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\sin\text{x})+\log\sin\text{x}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\log\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\log\text{x}\frac{1}{\sin\text{x}}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\sin\text{x})+\log\sin\text{x}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\log\text{x}}{\sin\text{x}}(\cos\text{x})+\frac{\log\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{y}\Big[\log\text{x}\cot\text{x}+\frac{\log\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=(\sin\text{x})^{\log\text{x}}\Big[\log\text{x}\cot\text{x}+\frac{\log\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}\Big]$
[Using equation (i)]

A diet is to contain at least $80$ units of vitamin $A$ and $100$ units of minerals. Two foods $F_1$ and $F_2$ are available. Food $F_1$ costs $Rs\ 4$ per unit food and $F_2$ costs $Rs\ 6$ per unit. One unit of food $F_1$ contains $3$ units of vitamin $A$ and $4$ units of minerals. One unit of food $F_2$ contains $6$ units of vitamin $A$ and $3$ units of minerals. Formulate this as a linear programming problem. Find the minimum cost for diet that consists of mixture of these two foods and also meets the minimal nutritional requirements.
