Question
$\text{If (ax + b)} \text{e}^{\text{y/x}} = \text{x},\text{then show that}$
$\text{x}^{3} \bigg(\frac{\text{d}^{2}\text{y}}{\text{dx}^{2}}\bigg) = \bigg(\text{x}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}- \text{y}\bigg)^{2} $

Answer

$\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}} = \log\text{x} - \log (\text{ax + b)}$
differentiating w.r.t. x,
$=\frac {\text{x} {\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}- \text{y}}}{\text{x}^{2}} = \frac{1}{\text{x}}-\frac{\text{a}}{\text{ax + b}}=\frac{\text{b}}{\text{x ( ax + b)}}$
$= \text{x}. \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} - \text{y} = \frac{\text{bx}}{(\text{ax + b)}}\dots\dots\dots\dots\text{(1)} $
differentiating w.r.t. x, again
$\text{x} \frac{\text{d}^{2}\text{y}}{\text{dx}^{2}} + \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} -\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} = \frac{(\text{ax + b) b - abx}}{(\text{ax + b)}^{2}} $
$\text{x} \frac{\text{d}^{2}\text{y}}{\text{dx}^{2}} = \frac{\text{b}^{2}}{\text{(ax + b)}{2}}$
$\text{Writing}\Rightarrow \text{x}^{3}\ \frac{\text{d}^{2}\text{y}}{\text{dx}^{2}} = \bigg(\frac{\text{bx}}{\text{ax + b}} \bigg)^{2}\dots\dots\dots\text{(2)}$
From (1) and (2) $\Rightarrow$
$\text{x}^{3} \frac{\text{d}^{2}\text{y}}{\text{dx}^{2}} = \bigg(\text{x}. \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}- \text{y}\bigg)^{2}$

A factory manufactures two types of screws, A and B, each type requiring the use of two machines - an automatic and a hand-operated. It takes 4 minute on the automatic and 6 minutes on the hand-operated machines to manufacture a package of screws 'A', while it takes 6 minutes on the automatic and 3 minutes on the hand-operated machine to manufacture a package of screws 'B'. Each machine is available for at most 4 hours on any day. The manufacturer can sell a package of screws 'A' at a profit of 70 P and screws 'B' at a profit of Rs. 1. Assuming that he can sell all the screws he can manufacture, how many packages of each type should the factory owner produce in a day in order to maximize his profit? Determine the maximum profit.
