Evaluate the following integrals: ^ a _ -a 1 1+a^ x dx, a>0 - Vidyadip

Question

Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\limits^{\text{a}}_{-\text{a}}\frac{1}{1+\text{a}^{\text{x}}}\text{ dx},\text{ a}>0$

✓

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\limits^{\text{a}}_{-\text{a}}\frac{1}{1+\text{a}^{\text{x}}}\text{ dx}\ ...(\text{i})$
Then,
$\text{I}=\int\limits^{\text{a}}_{-\text{a}}\frac{1}{1+\text{a}^{[\text{a}+(-\text{a})-\text{x}]}}\text{ dx}$
$=\int\limits^{\text{a}}_{-\text{a}}\frac{1}{1+\text{a}^{-\text{x}}}\text{ dx}$
$\text{I}=\int\limits^{\text{a}}_{-\text{a}}\frac{1}{\text{a}^{\text{x}}+1}\text{ dx}\ ...(\text{ii})$
Adding (i) and (ii) we get
$2\text{I}=\int\limits^{\text{a}}_{-\text{a}}\frac{1+\text{a}^{\text{x}}}{1+\text{a}^{\text{x}}}\text{ dx}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{I}=\int\limits^{\text{a}}_{-\text{a}}\text{dx}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{I}=\big[\text{x}\big]^{\text{a}}_{-\text{a}}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{I}=\text{a}-(-\text{a})$
$\Rightarrow2\text{I}=2\text{a}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\text{a}$

A manufacturer can produce two products, A and B, during a given time period. Each of these products requires four different manufacturing operations: grinding, turning, assembling and testing. The manufacturing requirements in hours per unit of products A and B are given below.

	A	B
Grinding	1	2
Turning	3	1
Assembling	6	3
Testing	5	4

The available capacities of these operations in hours for the given time period are: grinding 30; turning 60, assembling 200; testing 200. The contribution to profit is Rs 20 for each unit of A and Rs 30 for each unit of B. The firm can sell all that it produces at the prevailing market price. Determine the optimum amount of A and B to produce during the given time period. Formulate this as a LPP.

A toy company manufactures two types of dolls, A and B. Market tests and available resources have indicated that the combined production level should not exceed 1200 dolls per week and the demand for dolls type B is at most half of that for dolls of types A. Further, the production level of dolls of type A can exceed three times the production of dolls of other type by at most 600 units. If the company makes profit of Rs. 12 and Rs. 16 per doll respectively on dolls A and B, how many of each should be produced weekly in order to maximize the profit ?
