MCQ
Which of the following functions is decreasing on $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ ?
  • A
    $\sin 2 x$
  • B
    $\tan x$
  • $\cos x$
  • D
    $\cos 3 x$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\cos x$
(c) : $f(x)=\cos x \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=-\sin x$
In interval $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right), \sin x$ is positive
$
\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)<0 \forall x \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)
$
$\therefore f(x)$ is decreasing in $\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$

Apply linear programming to this problem. A firm wants to determine how many units of each of two products (products D and E) they should produce to make the most money. The profit in the manufacture of a unit of product D is 100 and the profit in the manufacture of a unit of product E is100 and the profit in the manufacture of aunit of product E is 87. The firm is limited by its total available labor hours and total available machine hours. The total labor hours per week are 4,000. Product D takes 5 hours per unit of labor and product E takes 7 hours per unit. The total machine hours are 5,000 per week. Product D takes 9 hours per unit of machine time and product E takes 3 hours per unit. Which of the following is one of the constraints for this linear program?
