Question
Evaluate the following definite integrals:
$\int\limits_{0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2\text{x}^2} \text{ dx}$

Answer

We have,
$\int_{0}^\limits{\infty}\frac{1}{\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2\text{x}^2} \text{ dx}=\frac{1}{\text{b}^2}\int_{0}^\limits{\infty}\frac{1}{\big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\big)^2+\text{x}^2}\text{ dx}$
We have that,
$\int\frac{1}{\text{a}^2+\text{x}^2}=\frac{1}{\text{a}}\tan^{-1}\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}$
$\therefore\ \frac{1}{\text{b}^2}\int_{0}^\limits{\infty}\frac{1}{\big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\big)^2+\text{x}^2}\text{ dx}=\frac{1}{\text{b}^2}\Big[\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{bx}}{\text{a}}\Big)\Big]^{\infty}_0$
$=\frac{1}{\text{ab}}\Big[\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{bx}}{\text{a}}\Big)\Big]^{\infty}_0$
$=\frac{1}{\text{ab}}\big[\tan^{-1}\infty-\tan^{-1}0\big]$
$=\frac{1}{\text{ab}}\Big[\frac{\pi}{2}-0\Big]$
$=\frac{\pi}{2\text{ab}}$
$\int_{0}^\limits{\infty}\frac{1}{\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2\text{x}^2} \text{ dx}=\frac{\pi}{2\text{ab}}$

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?
A company is making two products A and B. The cost of producing one unit of products A and B are Rs 60 and Rs 80 respectively. As per the agreement, the company has to supply at least 200 units of product B to its regular customers. One unit of product A requires one machine hour whereas product B has machine hours available abundantly within the company. Total machine hours available for product A are 400 hours. One unit of each product A and B requires one labour hour each and total of 500 labour hours are available. The company wants to minimize the cost of production by satisfying the given requirements. Formulate the problem as a LPP.
