Question
Differentiate the following functions with respect to x:
$\log(\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1})$

Answer

Let $\text{y}=\log(\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1})$
Differentiate with respect to x,
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dt}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dy}}\log\big(\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}\big)$
$=\frac{1}{\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\Big(\text{x}+\big(\text{x}^2+1\big)^\frac{1}{2}\Big)$
[Using chain rule]
$=\frac{1}{\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}}\Big[1+\frac{1}{2}\big(\text{x}^2+1\big)^{\frac{1}{2}-1}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\big(\text{x}^2+1\big)\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}}\Big[1+\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}}\times2\text{x}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}}\Big[\frac{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}+\text{x}}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}}$
So,
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\Big(\log\big(\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}\big)\Big)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}}$

Kellogg is a new cereal formed of a mixture of bran and rice that contains at least 88 grams of protein and at least 36 milligrams of iron. Knowing that bran contains 80 grams of protein and 40 milligrams of iron per kilogram, and that rice contains 100 grams of protein and 30 milligrams of iron per kilogram, find the minimum cost of producing this new cereal if bran costs Rs. 5 per kg and rice costs Rs 4 per kg.

In a hockey match, both teams $A$ and $B$ scored same number of goals up to the end of the game, so to decide the winner, the referee asked both the captains to throw a die alternately and decided that the team, whose captain gets a six first, will be declared the winner. If the captain of team A was asked to start, find their respective probabilities of winning the match and state whether the decision of the referee was fair or not.
$\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&-2&0\\ 2&1&3\\ 0&-2&1\end{bmatrix}\text{and }\text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}7&2&-6\\ -2&1&-3\\ -4&2&5\end{bmatrix}$, find AB. Hence, solve the system of equations:
