Question
Differentiate the following functions with respect to x:
$(1+\cos\text{x})^\text{x}$

Answer

Let $\text{y}=(1+\cos\text{x})^\text{x}\ .....(\text{i})$
Taking log on both the sides,
$\log\text{y}=\log(1+\cos\text{x})^\text{x}$
$\log\text{y}=\text{x}\log(1-\cos\text{x})$
Differentiating with respect to x,
$\frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{x}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\log(1+\cos\text{x})+\log(1+\cos\text{x})\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{x}\frac{1}{(1+\cos\text{x})}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(1+\cos\text{x})+\log(1+\cos\text{x})(1)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{x}}{(1+\cos\text{x})}(0-\sin\text{x})+\log(1+\cos\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\log(1+\cos\text{x})-\frac{\text{x}\sin\text{x}}{(1+\cos\text{x})}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{y}\Big[\log(1+\cos\text{x})-\frac{\text{x}\sin\text{x}}{(1+\cos\text{x})}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=(1+\cos\text{x})^\text{x}\Big[\log(1+\cos\text{x})-\frac{\text{x}\sin\text{x}}{(1+\cos\text{x})}\Big]$

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:
