Question
Evaluate the following integral:
$\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{(2-\text{x})^2+1}}\text{ dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{(2-\text{x})^2+1}}\text{ dx}$
Let $2-\text{x}=\text{t}$
$-\text{dx}=\text{dt}$
$\text{dx}=-\text{dt}$
So, $\text{I}=-\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{t}^2+(1)^2}}\text{ dt}$
$\text{I}=-\log\big|\text{t}+\sqrt{\text{t}^2+1}\big|+\text{C}$ $\Big[$Since $\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{a}^2}}\text{ dx}=\log\big|\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{a}^2}\big|+\text{C}\Big]$
$\text{I}=-\log\big|(2-\text{x})+\sqrt{(2-\text{x})^2+1}\big|+\text{C}$ $[$Since $\text{t}=(2-\text{x})]$

A factory uses three different resources for the manufacture of two different products, $20$ units of the resources $A, 12$ units of $B$ and $16$ units of $C$ being available. $1$ unit of the first product requires $2, 2$ and $4$ units of the respective resources and $1$ unit of the second product requires $4, 2$ and $0$ units of respective resources. It is known that the first product gives a profit of $2$ monetary units per unit and the second $3.$ Formulate the linear programming problem. How many units of each product should be manufactured for maximizing the profit? Solve it graphically.
