Question
If y = P eax + Q ebx, show that
$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}-(\text{a}+\text{b})\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}+\text{aby}=0$

Answer

y = P eax + Q ebx $\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$ = a P eax + b Q ebx
$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=$ a2 p eax + bQ ebx
$\therefore\ \text{LHS}=​​​​$$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}$– (a + b)$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$ +aby
= a2 P eax + b2 Q ebx – (a + b) {a P eax + b Q ebx}+ ab {P eax + Q ebx}
= P eax {a2 – a2 – ab + ab}+ Q ebx {b2 – ab – b2 + ab}
= 0 + 0 = 0. = R.H.S.

A factory uses three different resources for the manufacture of two different products, 20 units of the resources A, 12 units of B and 16 units of C being available. 1 unit of the first product requires 2, 2 and 4 units of the respective resources and 1 unit of the second product requires 4, 2 and 0 units of respective resources. It is known that the first product gives a profit of 2 monetary units per unit and the second 3. Formulate the linear programming problem. How many units of each product should be manufactured for maximizing the profit? Solve it graphically.
