Question
If $\text{y}=\text{cosec}^{-1}\text{x},\text{x}>1$ prove that $\text{x}(\text{x}^2-1)\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}+(2\text{x}^2-1)\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=0.$

Answer

Here,
$\text{y}=\text{cosec}^{-1}\text{x}$
Differentiating w.r.t.x, we get
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{-1}{\text{x}\sqrt{{}\text{x}^2-1}}$
Differentiating w.r.t.x, we get
$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=\frac{\sqrt{\text{x}^2-1}+\frac{\text{x}^2}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2-1}}}{\text{x}^2(\text{x}^2-1)}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=\frac{\text{x}^2-1+\text{x}^2}{\text{x}^2(\text{x}^2-1)\sqrt{\text{x}^2-1}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=\frac{2\text{x}^2-1}{\text{x}^2(\text{x}^2-1)\sqrt{\text{x}^2-1}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=\frac{2\text{x}}{(\text{x}^2-1)\sqrt{\text{x}^2-1}}-\frac{1}{\text{x}^2(\text{x}^2-1)\sqrt{\text{x}^2-1}}$
$\Rightarrow(\text{x}^2-1)\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=\frac{2\text{x}}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2-1}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2-1}}$
$\Rightarrow(\text{x}^2-1)\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=-2\text{x}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$
$\Rightarrow(\text{x}^2-1)\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=-2\text{x}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$
$\Rightarrow(\text{x}^2-1)\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=-(2\text{x}^2-1)\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$
$\Rightarrow(\text{x}^2-1)\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=+(2\text{x}^2-1)\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=0$
Hence proved

A cooperative society of farmers has $50$ hectares of land to grow two crops X and Y. The profits from crops X and Y per hectare are estimated as $Rs. 10,500$ and $Rs. 9,000$ respectively. To control weeds, a liquid herbicide has to be used for crops X and Y at the rate of $20$ litres and $10$ litres per hectare, respectively. Further not more than $800$ litres of herbicide should be used in order to protect fish and wildlife using a pond which collects drainage from this land. How much land should be allocated to each crop so as to maximise the total profit of the society?

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 12kg of nitrogen and 12kg of phosphoric acid for his crops. If 'A' costs Rs. 10 per kg and 'B' cost Rs. 8 per kg, then graphically determine how much of each type of fertiliser should be used so that nutrient requiremnets are met at a minimum cost.
