Question
Evaluate the following intregals:$\int\frac{1}{3+2\cos^2\text{x}}\text{ dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\frac{1}{3+2\cos^2\text{x}}\text{ dx}$
Dividing numerator and denominator by $\cos^2\text{x}$
$\text{I}=\int\frac{\frac{1}{\cos^2\text{x}}}{\frac{3}{\cos^2\text{x}}+\frac{2\cos^2\text{x}}{\cos^2\text{x}}}$
$=\int\frac{\sec^2\text{x}}{2\sec^2\text{x}+2}\ \text{dx}$
$=\int\frac{\sec^2\text{x}}{3(1+\tan^2\text{x})+2}\ \text{dx}$
$=\int\frac{\sec^2\text{x}}{3+3\tan^2\text{x}+2}\text{ dx}$
$=\int\frac{\sec^2\text{x}}{5+3\tan^2\text{x}}\ \text{dx}$
Let $\sqrt{3}\tan\text{x}=\text{t}$
$\sqrt{3}\sec^2\text{x}\text{ dx}=\text{dt}$
$\text{I}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\int\frac{\text{dt}}{(\sqrt{5})^2+\text{t}^2}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{5}}\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{t}}{\sqrt{5}}\Big)+\text{C}$
$\text{I}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{15}}\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\sqrt{3}\tan\text{x}}{\sqrt{5}}\Big)+\text{C}$

There are two types of fertilisers 'A' and 'B'. 'A' consists of 12% nitrogen and 5% phosphoric acid whereas 'B' consists of 4% nitrogen and 5% phosphoric acid. After testing the soil conditions, farmer finds that he needs at least 12kg of nitrogen and 12kg of phosphoric acid for his crops. If 'A' costs Rs. 10 per kg and 'B' cost Rs. 8 per kg, then graphically determine how much of each type of fertiliser should be used so that nutrient requiremnets are met at a minimum cost.
A cottage industry manufactures pedestal lamps and wooden shades, each requiring the use of grinding/cutting machine and sprayer. It takes 2 hours on the grinding/cutting machine and 3 hours on the sprayer to manufacture a pedestal lamp while it takes 1 hour on the grinding/cutting machine and 2 hours on the sprayer to manufacture a shade. On any day, the sprayer is available for at most 20 hours and the grinding/cutting machine for at most 12 hours. The profit from the sale of a lamp is Rs. 5.00 and a shade is Rs. 3.00. Assuming that the manufacturer can sell all the lamps and shades that he produces, how should he schedule his daily production in order to maximise his profit?
