Question
Using differentials, find the approximate values of the following:
$(80)^{\frac{1}{4}}$

Answer

Let $\text{x}=81,\\\text{ x}+ \triangle\text{x}=80$$\triangle\text{x}=80- 81$
$=-1$
Let $\text{y}=\text{x}^ {\frac{1}{4}}$
$\frac{\text{dy}} {\text{dx}}=\frac{1}{4(81)^{\frac{3} {4}}}$
$=\frac{1}{108}$
$0.00926$
$\triangle\text{y}= \Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)_ {\text{x}=81}\times(\triangle\text{x})$
$=0.00926)(-1)$
$=-0.00926$
$(80)^{\frac{1}{4}}= \text{y}+\triangle\text{y}$
$=\text{x}^{\frac{1} {4}}-0.00926$
$=(81)^{\frac{1}{4}}- 0.00926$
$3-0.0026$
$2.9974$

A manufacturer has three machines installed in his factory. machines $I$ and $II$ are capable of being operated for at most $12$ hours whereas Machine $III$ must operate at least for $5$ hours a day. He produces only two items, each requiring the use of three machines. The number of hours required for producing one unit each of the items on the three machines is given in the following table:
Item Number of hours required by the machine
  $I$ $II$ $III$
$A$ $1$ $2$ $1$
$B$ $2$ $1$ $\frac{5}{4}$
He makes a profit of Rs. $6.00$ on item A and Rs. $4.00$ on item $B$. Assuming that he can sell all that he produces, how many of each item should he produces so as to maximize his profit? Determine his maximum profit. Formulate this LPP mathematically and then solve it.
One kind of cake requires $300\ gm$ of flour and $15\ gm$ of fat, another kind of cake requires $150\ gm$ of flour and $30\ gm$ of fat. Find the maximum number of cakes which can be made from $7.5\ kg$ of flour and $600\ gm$ of fat, assuming that there is no shortage of the other ingradients used in making the cake. Make it as an $LPP$ and solve it graphically.
