Question
Evaluate:$\int\limits_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}}$ log sin x dx.

Answer

$\text{I}=\int\limits_0^{\pi/2}\log\sin\text{x dx}=\int\limits_0^{\pi/2}\log \sin\Bigg(\frac{\pi}{2}-\text{x}\Bigg)\text{dx}=\int\limits_0^{\pi/2}\log\cos\text{x dx}$
$\therefore\text{2I}=\int\limits_0^{\pi/2}\log(\text{sin x cos x)dx}=\int\limits_0^{\pi/2}\log\frac{\sin\text{2x}}{2}\text{dx}$
$=\int\limits_0^{\pi/2}\log\sin\text{2x dx}-\int\limits_0^{\pi/2}\log\text{ 2dx}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times2\int\limits_0^{\pi/2}\log\sin\text{t}\text{ dt}-\frac{\pi}{2}\log2;\Bigg[\text{t = 2x,}\frac{\text{dt}}{2}=\text{dx}\Bigg]$
$=\text{I}-\frac{\pi}{2}\log2$
$\text{I}=-\frac{\pi}{2}\log2$.

A firm manufactures two types of products $A$ and $B$ and sells them at a profit of $Rs. 5$ per unit of type $A$ and $Rs.3$ per unit of type $B.$ Each product is processed on two machines $M_1$ and $M_2.$ One unit of type A requires one minute of processing time on $M_1$ and two minutes of processing time on $M_2,$ whereas one unit of type $B$ requires one minute of processing time on $M_1$ and one minute on $M_2.$ Machines $M_1$ and $M_{2 }$ are respectively available for at most $5$ hours and $6$ hours in a day. Find out how many units of each type of product should the firm produce a day in order to maximize the profit. Solve the problem graphically.
