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

Answer

Let $\text{y}=\sqrt{\frac{1-\text{x}^2}{1+\text{x}^2}}$
$\text{y}=\Big(\frac{1-\text{x}^2}{1+\text{x}^2}\Big)^\frac{1}{2}$
Differentiate it with respect to x,
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\Big(\frac{1-\text{x}^2}{1+\text{x}^2}\Big)^\frac{1}{2}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{1-\text{x}^2}{1+\text{x}^2}\Big)^{\frac{1}{2}-1}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\Big(\frac{1-\text{x}^2}{1+\text{x}^2}\Big)$
[Using chain rule]
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{1-\text{x}^2}{1+\text{x}^2}\Big)^{\frac{-1}{2}}\bigg[\frac{(1+\text{x}^2)\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(1-\text{x}^2)-(1-\text{x}^2)\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(1+\text{x}^2)}{\big(1+\text{x}^2\big)^2}\bigg]$
[Using chain rule]
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{1-\text{x}^2}{1+\text{x}^2}\Big)^{\frac{1}{2}}\bigg[\frac{(1+\text{x}^2)(-2\text{x})-(1-\text{x}^2)(2\text{x})}{\big(1+\text{x}^2\big)^2}\bigg]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{1-\text{x}^2}{1+\text{x}^2}\Big)^{\frac{1}{2}}\bigg[\frac{-2\text{x}-2\text{x}^3-2\text{x}+2\text{x}^3}{\big(1+\text{x}^2\big)^2}\bigg]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\frac{-4\text{x}}{\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}\big(1+\text{x}^2)^\frac{3}{2}}$
So,
$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\bigg(\sqrt{\frac{1-\text{x}^2}{1+\text{x}^2}}\bigg)=\frac{-4\text{x}}{\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}\big(1+\text{x}^2)^\frac{3}{2}}$

A manufacturer of Furniture makes two products : chairs and tables. processing of these products is done on two machines A and B. A chair requires 2 hrs on machine A and 6 hrs on machine B. A table requires 4 hrs on machine A and 2 hrs on machine B. There are 16 hrs of time per day available on machine A and 30 hrs on machine B. Profit gained by the manufacturer from a chair and a table is Rs. 3 and Rs. 5 respectively. Find with the help of graph what should be the daily production of each of the two products so as to maximize his profit.
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.
