Question
If for function $\phi(\text{x})=\lambda\text{x}^2+7\text{x}-4, \phi(5)=97,$ find $\lambda.$

Answer

Given: $\phi(\text{x})=\lambda\text{x}^2+7\text{x}-4$
Clearly, being a polynomial function, is differentiable everywhere. Therefore the derivative of $\phi$ at x is given by:
$\phi'(\text{x})=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\phi(\text{x}+\text{h})-\phi(\text{x})}{\text{h}}$
$\Rightarrow\phi'(\text{x})=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\lambda(\text{x}+\text{h})^2+7(\text{x}+\text{h})-4-\lambda\text{x}^2-7\text{x}+4}{\text{h}}$
$\Rightarrow\phi'(\text{x})=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\lambda(\text{x}+\text{h})^2+7(\text{x}+\text{h})-4-\lambda\text{x}^2-7\text{x}+4}{\text{h}}$
$\Rightarrow\phi'(\text{x})=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\lambda\text{h}^2+2\lambda\text{xh}+7\text{h}}{\text{h}}$
$\Rightarrow\phi'(\text{x})=\lim_\limits{\text{h}\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\text{h}(\lambda\text{h}+2\lambda\text{x}+7)}{\text{h}}$
$\Rightarrow\phi'(\text{x})=2\lambda\text{x}+7$
It is given $\phi'(5)=97$
Thus, $\phi'(5)=10\lambda+7=97$
$\Rightarrow10\lambda+7=97$
$\Rightarrow10\lambda=90$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=9$

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 ?
