Question
Using differentials, find the approximate values of the following:
$\log_\text{e}10.02$ it being given that $\log_\text{e}10=2.3026$

Answer

Consider the function $\text{y}=\text{f} (\text{x})=\log_\text{e}\text{x}$ Let:
x = 10 $\text{x}+\triangle \text{x}=10.02$Then,
$\triangle\text{x} =0.02$ For x $\text{y}\log_\text{e} 10=2.3026$Let:
$\text{dx}=\triangle \text{x}=0.02$Now, $\text{y}=\log_\text {e}\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\frac {\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{1}{\text {x}}$ $\Rightarrow\Big(\frac {\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)_{\text{x} =10}=\frac{1}{10}$ $\therefore\triangle \text{y}=\text{dy}=\frac{\text{dy}} {\text{dx}}\text{dx}=\frac{1} {10}\times0.02=0.002$ $\Rightarrow\text{y} =0.002$ $\therefore\log_\text {e}10.02=\text{y}+\triangle\text{y} =2.3046$

A wholesale dealer deals in two kinds, A and B (say) of mixture of nuts. Each kg of mixture A contains 60 grams of almonds, 30 grams of cashew nuts and 30 grams of hazel nuts. Each kg of mixture B contains 30 grams of almonds, 60 grams of cashew nuts and 180 grams of hazel nuts. The remainder of both mixtures is per nuts. The dealer is contemplating to use mixtures A and B to make a bag which will contain at least 240 grams of almonds, 300 grams of cashew nuts and 540 grams of hazel nuts. Mixture A costs Rs. 8 per kg. and mixture B costs Rs. 12 per kg. Assuming that mixtures A and B are uniform, use graphical method to determine the number of kg. of each mixture which he should use to minimise the cost of the bag.

A shopkeeper sells three types of flower seeds $A_1, A_2$ and $A_3$. They are sold as a mixture where the proportions are 4 $: 4: 2$ respectively. The germination rates of the three types of seeds are $45 \%, 60 \%$ and $35 \%$. Calculate the probability:
i. Of a randomly chosen seed to germinate.
ii. That it will not germinate given that the seed is of type $A_3$.
iii. That it is of the type $A_2$ given that a randomly chosen seed does not germinate.
