Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\frac{\tan\text{x}}{\sqrt{\cos\text{x}}}\text{dx}$

Answer

$\int\frac{\tan\text{x}}{\sqrt{\cos\text{x}}}\text{dx}$
$\Rightarrow\int\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}\sqrt{\cos\text{x}}}\text{dx}$
$\Rightarrow\int\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\cos^\frac{3}{2}\text{x}}\text{dx}$
$\text{Let }\cos\text{x}=\text{t}$
$\Rightarrow-\sin\text{x}\text{ dx}=\text{dt}$
$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=-\frac{\text{dt}}{\text{dx}}$
$\text{Now,}\int\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\cos^\frac{3}{2}\text{x}}\text{dx}$
$=\int-\frac{1}{\text{t}^\frac{3}{2}}\text{dt}$
$=-\int\text{t}^{-\frac{3}{2}}\text{dt}$
$=-\bigg[\frac{\text{t}^{-\frac{3}{2}+1}}{\frac{-3}{2}+1}\bigg]+\text{C}$
$=\frac{2}{\sqrt{\text{t}}}+\text{C}$
$=\frac{2}{\sqrt{\cos\text{x}}}+\text{C}$

There are two types of fertilisers 'A' and 'B'. 'A' consists of 12 % nitrogen and 5 % phosphoric acid whereas 'B' consists of 4 % nitrogen and 5 % phosphoric acid. After testing the soil conditions, farmer finds that he needs at least 12 kg of nitrogen and 12 kg of phosphoric acid for his crops. If 'A' costs 10 per kg and 'B' cost 8 per kg, then graphically determine how much of each type of fertiliser should be used so that nutrient requirements are met at a minimum cost.

A factory manufactures two types of screws, A and B, each type requiring the use of two machines - an automatic and a hand-operated. It takes 4 minute on the automatic and 6 minutes on the hand-operated machines to manufacture a package of screws 'A', while it takes 6 minutes on the automatic and 3 minutes on the hand-operated machine to manufacture a package of screws 'B'. Each machine is available for at most 4 hours on any day. The manufacturer can sell a package of screws 'A' at a profit of 70 P and screws 'B' at a profit of Rs. 1. Assuming that he can sell all the screws he can manufacture, how many packages of each type should the factory owner produce in a day in order to maximize his profit? Determine the maximum profit.
