Question
Find $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}},$ when
$\text{x}=\text{ae}^{\theta}(\sin\theta-\cos\theta),\text{y}=\text{ae}^\theta(\sin\theta+\cos\theta)$

Answer

We have, $\text{x}=\text{ae}^{\theta}(\sin\theta-\cos\theta)$ and $\text{y}=\text{ae}^{\theta}(\sin\theta+\cos\theta)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{d}\theta}=\text{a}\Big[\text{e}^\theta\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}\theta}(\sin\theta-\cos\theta)+(\sin\theta-\cos\theta)\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}\theta}(\text{e}^\theta)\Big]$ and
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{d}\theta}=\text{a}\Big[\text{e}^\theta\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}\theta}(\sin\theta+\cos\theta)+(\sin\theta+\cos\theta)\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}\theta}(\text{e}^\theta)\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{d}\theta}=\text{a}\Big[\text{e}^\theta(\cos\theta+\sin\theta)+(\sin\theta-\cos\theta)(\text{e}^\theta)\Big]$ and $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{d}\theta}=\text{a}\Big[\text{e}^\theta(\cos\theta-\sin\theta)+(\sin\theta+\cos\theta)(\text{e}^\theta)\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{d}\theta}=\text{a}\big[2\text{e}^\theta(\sin\theta)\big]$ and $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{d}\theta}=\text{a}\big[2\text{e}^\theta(\cos\theta)\big]$
$\therefore\frac{\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{d}\theta}}{\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{d}\theta}}=\frac{\text{a}(2\text{e}^\theta\cos\theta)}{\text{a}(2\text{e}^\theta\sin\theta)}=\cot\theta$

A gardener has supply of fertilizer of type I which consists of 10% nitrogen and 6% phosphoric acid and type II fertilizer which consists of 5% nitrogen and 10% phosphoric acid. After testing the soil conditions, he finds that he needs at least 14kg of nitrogen and 14kg of phosphoric acid for his crop. If the type I fertilizer costs 60 paise per kg and type II fertilizer costs 40 paise per kg, determine how many kilograms of each fertilizer should be used so that nutrient requirements are met at a minimum cost. What is the minimum cost?
