Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_{0}\frac{\cos^2\text{x}}{1+3\sin^3\text{x}}\text{ dx}$

Answer

$\text{I}=\int^\limits\frac{\pi}{2}_{0}\frac{\cos^2\text{x}}{1+3\sin^3\text{x}}\text{ dx}$
$\text{I}=\int^\limits\frac{\pi}{2}_{0}\frac{\sec^2\text{x}}{\sec^2\text{x}\big(\sec^2\text{x}+3\tan^2\text{x}\big)}\text{ dx}$
Put $\tan\text{x}=\text{t}$
$\sec^2\text{x dx}=\text{dt}$
$\text{x}=0\Rightarrow\text{t}=0$ and $\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{2}\Rightarrow\text{t}=\infty$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int^{\infty}\limits_0\frac{1}{\big(1+\text{t}^2\big)\big(1+4\text{t}^2\big)}\text{ dt}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=-\frac{1}{3}\int^{\infty}\limits_0\bigg[\frac{1}{(1+\text{t}^2)-{(1+4\text{t}^2)}}\bigg]\text{dt}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=-\frac{1}{3}\Big[\tan^{-1}\text{t}-2\tan^{-1}2\text{t}\Big]^{\infty}_0$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{\pi}{6}$

A manufacturer has three machines installed in his factory. machines $I$ and $II$ are capable of being operated for at most $12$ hours whereas Machine $III$ must operate at least for $5$ hours a day. He produces only two items, each requiring the use of three machines. The number of hours required for producing one unit each of the items on the three machines is given in the following table:
Item Number of hours required by the machine
  $I$ $II$ $III$
$A$ $1$ $2$ $1$
$B$ $2$ $1$ $\frac{5}{4}$
He makes a profit of $Rs. 6.00$ on item $A$ and $Rs. 4.00$ on item $B.$ Assuming that he can sell all that he produces, how many of each item should he produces so as to maximize his profit? Determine his maximum profit. Formulate this $\text{LPP}$ mathematically and then solve it.
