Question
Solve the following differential equation
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{1-\cos\text{x}}{1+\cos\text{x}}$

Answer

We have,
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{1-\cos\text{x}}{1+\cos\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{dy}=\frac{2\sin^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{2\cos^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{dy}=\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{dy}=\Big(\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)\text{dx}$
Intergrating both sides, we get
$\Rightarrow\int\text{dy}=\int\Big(\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)\text{dx}$
$\Rightarrow\int\text{dy}=\int\Big(\sec^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}-1\Big)\text{dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=2\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\text{x}+\text{C}$
so, $\Rightarrow\text{y}=2\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\text{x}+\text{C}$ is defined for all $\text{x}\in\text{R}$
Hence, $\Rightarrow\text{y}=\tan^{-1}\text{x}+\text{C}$, where $\text{x}\in\text{R}$ is the solution o the given differential equation.

A firm manufactures two types of products $A$ and $B$ and sells them at a profit of Rs. 5 per unit of type $A$ and Rs 3 per unit of type $B$. Each product is processed on two machines $M_1$ and $M_2$. One unit of type $A$ requires one minute of processing time on $M_1$ and two minutes of processing time on $M_2$, whereas one unit of type $B$ requires one minute of processing time on $\mathrm{M}_1$ and one minute on $\mathrm{M}_2$. Machines $\mathrm{M}_1$ and $\mathrm{M}_2$ are respectively available for at most 5 hours and 6 hours in a day. Find out how many units of each type of product should the firm produce a day in order to maximize the profit. Solve the problem graphically.
