Question
Evalute the following integrals:
$\int\frac{\cos4\text{x}-\cos2\text{x}}{\sin4\text{x}-\sin2\text{x}}\text{dx}$

Answer

$\int\Big(\frac{\cos4\text{x}-\cos2\text{x}}{\sin4\text{x}-\sin2\text{x}}\Big)\text{dx}$
$=\int\frac{-2\sin\Big(\frac{4\text{x}+2\text{x}}{2}\Big)\sin\Big(\frac{4\text{x}-2\text{x}}{2}\Big)}{2\cos\Big(\frac{4\text{x}+2\text{x}}{2}\Big)\sin\Big(\frac{4\text{x}-2\text{x}}{2}\Big)}\text{dx}$
$\bigg[\because\cos\text{A}-\cos\text{B}=-2\sin\Big(\frac{\text{A}+\text{B}}{2}\Big)\sin\Big(\frac{\text{A}-\text{B}}{2}\Big)\ \& \\ \sin\text{A}-\sin\text{B}=2\cos\Big(\frac{\text{A}+\text{B}}{2}\Big)\sin\Big(\frac{\text{A}-\text{B}}{2}\Big)\bigg]$
$=-\int\frac{\sin3\text{x}}{\cos3\text{x}}\text{dx}$
$=-\int\tan3\text{x dx}$
$=\frac{-\text{In}|\sec3\text{x}|}{3}+\text{C}$
$=\frac{1}{3}\text{ln}\big(|\sec3\text{x}|\big)^{-1}+\text{C}$
$=\frac{1}{3}\text{ln}|\cos3\text{x}|+\text{C}$

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?
