Answer

Given,
$\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}\frac{\cos^2\text{x}-\sin^2\text{x}}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}-1},&\text{x}\neq0\\\text{k},&\text{x}=0\end{cases}$
If f(x) is continuous at x = 0, then
$\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow 0}\text{f(x)}=\text{f}(0)$
$\Rightarrow\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow 0}\frac{\cos^2\text{x}-\sin^2\text{x}}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}-1}=\text{k}$
$\Rightarrow\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow 0}\frac{1-\sin^2\text{x}-\sin^2\text{x}-1}{{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}-1}}=\text{k}$
$\Rightarrow\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow 0}\frac{-2\sin^2\text{x}}{{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}-1}}=\text{k}$
$\Rightarrow\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow 0}\frac{-2(\sin^2\text{x})\big({\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}+1}\big)}{\big({\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}-1}\big)\big({\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}+1}\big)}=\text{k}$
$\Rightarrow\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow 0}\frac{-2(\sin^2\text{x})\big({\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}+1}\big)}{\text{x}^2}=\text{k}$
$\Rightarrow-2\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow 0}\frac{(\sin^2\text{x})\big({\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}+1}\big)}{\text{x}^2}=\text{k}$
$\Rightarrow-2\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow 0}\Big(\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}\Big)^2\lim_\limits{\text{x}\rightarrow 0}\Big({\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}-1}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow-2\times-1\times(1+1)=\text{k}$
$\Rightarrow\text{k}=-4$

The standard weight of a special purpose brick is 5 kg and it must contain two basic ingredients costs ₹ 5 per kg and $\text{B}_{2}$ costs ₹ 8 per kg. Strength considerations dictate that the brick should contain not more than 4 kg of and minimum 2 kg of $\text{B}_{2}$. Since the demand for the product is likely to be related to the price of the brick, find the minimum cost of brick satisfying the above conditions. Formulate this situation as an LPP and solve it graphically.
