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

Answer

Let $\text{y}=\text{x}^{\cos^{-1}\text{x}}\ .....(\text{i})$
Taking log on both the sides,
$\log\text{y}=\log\text{x}^{\cos^{-1}\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow\log\text{y}=\cos^{-1}\text{x}\log\text{x}$
Differentiating with respect to x,
$\frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\cos^{-1}\text{x}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\log\text{x})+\log\text{x}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\cos^{-1}\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\cos^{-1}\text{x}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)+\log\text{x}\Big(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\cos^{-1}}{\text{x}}-\frac{\log\text{x}}{\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{y}\Big[\frac{\cos^{-1}\text{x}}{\text{x}}-\frac{\log\text{x}}{\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{x}^{\cos^{-1}\text{x}}\Big[\frac{\cos^{-1}\text{x}}{\text{x}}-\frac{\log\text{x}}{\sqrt{1-\text{x}^2}}\Big]$

The prices of three commodities $P, Q$ and $R$ are $R s . x, y$ and $z$ per unit respectively. A purchases 4 units of $R$ and sells 3 units of $P$ and 5 units of $Q$. $B$ purchases 3 units of $Q$ and sells 2 units of $P$ and $1$ unit of R. $C$ purchases 1 unit of $P$ and sells 4 units of $Q$ and 6 units of $R$. In the process $A, B$ and $C$ earn $Rs. 6000, Rs. 5000$ and $Rs. 13000$ respectively. If selling the units is positive earning and buying the units is negative earnings, find the price per unit of three commodities by using matrix method.
