Question
Evaluate the following integral:
$\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{(2-\text{x})^2-1}}\text{ dx}$

Answer

$\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{(2-\text{x})^2-1}}\text{ dx}$
Let $2-\text{x}=\text{t}$
$-\text{dx}=\text{dt}$
$\text{dx}=-\text{dt}$
Now, $\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{(2-\text{x})^2-1}}\text{ dx}$
$=\int\frac{-\text{dt}}{\sqrt{\text{t}^2-1}}$
$=-\log\big|\text{t}+\sqrt{\text{t}^2-1}\big|+\text{C}$
$=-\log\big|(2-\text{x})+\sqrt{(2-\text{x})^2-1}\big|+\text{C}$

A company produces two types of leather belts, say type $A$ and $B.$ Belt $A$ is a superior quality and belt $B$ is of a lower quality. Profits on each type of belt are $Rs. 2$ and $Rs. 1.50$ per belt, respectively. Each belt of type $A$ requires twice as much time as required by a belt of type $B.$ If all belts were of type $B,$ the company could produce $1000$ belts per day. But the supply of leather is sufficient only for $800$ belts per day $($both $A$ and $B$ combined$).$ Belt $A$ requires a fancy buckle and only $400$ fancy buckles are available for this per day. For belt of type $B,$ only $700$ buckles are available per day.
How should the company manufacture the two types of belts in order to have a maximum overall profit?
