Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\frac{1}{\sin^3\text{x}\cos\text{x}}\text{dx}$

Answer

$\int\frac{1}{\sin^3\text{x}\cos\text{x}}\text{ dx}$
Dividing numerator & denominator by $\sin^4\text{x}$
$=\int\frac{\frac{1}{\sin^4\text{x}}\text{ dx}}{\frac{\sin^3\text{x}\cdot\cos\text{x}}{\sin^4\text{x}}}$
$=\int\frac{\text{cosec}^4\text{x}\text{ dx}}{\cot\text{x}}$
$=\int\frac{\text{cosec}^2\text{x}\cdot\text{cosec}^2\text{x}\text{ dx}}{\cot\text{x}}$
$=\int\frac{(1+\cot^2\text{x})\cdot\text{cosec}^2\text{x}\text{ dx}}{\cot\text{x}}$
Let $\cot\text{x}=\text{t}$
$\text{cosec}^2\text{x}=\frac{\text{dt}}{\text{dx}}$
$\text{cosec}^2\text{x}\text{dx}=-\text{dt}$
Now, $\int\frac{(1+\cot^2\text{x})\cdot\text{cosec}^2\text{x}}{\cot\text{x}}\text{ dx}$
$=\int\frac{(1+\text{t}^2)\cdot(-\text{dt})}{\text{t}}$
$=-\int\Big(\frac{1}{\text{t}}+\text{t}\Big)\text{dt}$
$=-\log|\text{t}|-\frac{\text{t}^2}{2}+\text{C}$
$=-\log|\cot\text{x}|-\frac{\cot^2\text{x}}{1}+\text{C}$
$=\log|\cot\text{x}|^{-1}-\frac{(\text{cosec}^2\text{x}-1)}{2}+\text{C}$
$=\log\Big|\frac{1}{\cot\text{x}}\Big|-\frac{\text{cosec}^2\text{x}}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\text{C}$
$=\log|\tan\text{x}|-\frac{1}{2\sin^2\text{x}}+\text{C}'$ $\Big[\therefore\text{C}'=\text{C}+\frac{1}{2}\Big]$

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?
The management committee of a residential colony decided to award some of its members (say x) for honesty, some (say y) for helping others and some others (say z) for supervising the workers to keep the colony neat and clean. The sum of all the awardees is 12. Three times the sum of awardees for cooperation and supervision added to two times the number of awardees for honesty is 33. If the sum of the number of awardees for honesty and supervision is twice the number of awardees for helping others, using matrix method, find the number of awardees of each category. Apart from these values, namely, honesty, cooperation and supervision, suggest one more value which the management of the colony must include for awards.
