Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\limits^{\text{b}}_{\text{a}}\frac{\text{x}^{\frac{1}{\text{n}}}}{\text{x}^\frac{1}{\text{n}}+\big(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x}\big)^{\frac{1}{\text{n}}}}\text{ dx},\text{ n}\in\text{N},\text{n}\leq2$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\limits^{\text{b}}_{\text{a}}\frac{\text{x}^{\frac{1}{\text{n}}}}{\text{x}^\frac{1}{\text{n}}+\big(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x}\big)^{\frac{1}{\text{n}}}}\text{ dx}\ ...(\text{i})$
Then,
$\text{I}=\int\limits^{\text{b}}_{\text{a}}\frac{\big(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x}\big)^{\frac{1}{\text{n}}}}{\big(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x}\big)^\frac{1}{\text{n}}+\big[\text{a}+\text{b}-\big(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x}\big)\big]^{\frac{1}{\text{n}}}}\text{ dx}$ $\Bigg[\int\limits^{\text{b}}_{\text{a}}\text{f(x)}\text{dx}=\int\limits^{\text{b}}_{\text{a}}\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x})\text{dx}\Bigg]$
$=\int\limits^{\text{b}}_{\text{a}}\frac{\big(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x}\big)^{\frac{1}{\text{n}}}}{\big(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x}\big)^\frac{1}{\text{n}}+\text{x}^{\frac{1}{\text{n}}}}\text{ dx}$
Adding (i) and (ii) we get
$2\text{I}=\int\limits^{\text{b}}_{\text{a}}\frac{\text{x}^{^{\frac{1}{\text{n}}}}+\big(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x}\big)^{\frac{1}{\text{n}}}}{\text{x}^\frac{1}{\text{n}}+\big(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x}\big)^{\frac{1}{\text{n}}}}\text{ dx}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{I}=\int\limits^{\text{b}}_{\text{a}}\text{dx}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{I}=\big[\text{x}\big]^{\text{b}}_{\text{a}}=(\text{b}-\text{a})$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{\text{b}-\text{a}}{2}$

A man owns a field of area 1000 sq.m. He wants to plant fruit trees in it. He has a sum of Rs. 1400 to purchase young trees. He has the choice of two types of trees. Type A requires 10 sq.m of ground per tree and costs Rs. 20 per tree and type B requires 20 sq.m of ground per tree and costs Rs. 25 per tree. When fully grown, type A produces an average of 20kg of fruit which can be sold at a profit of Rs. 2.00 per kg and type B produces an average of 40kg of fruit which can be sold at a profit of Rs. 1.50 per kg. How many of each type should be planted to achieve maximum profit when the trees are fully grown? What is the maximum profit?
