Question
Find the approximate value of $\log_{10} 1005,$ given that $\log_{10} e = 0.4343.$

Answer

Let:
$\text{y}=\text{f}(\text{x})=\log_{10}\text{x}$
here,
$x = 1000,$
$\text{x}+\triangle\text{x}=1005$
$\Rightarrow\triangle\text{x}=5$
$\Rightarrow\text{dx}=\triangle\text{x}=5$
For $x = 1000,$
$\text{y}=\log_{10}1000=\log_{10}(10)^3=3$
Now, $\text{y}=\log_{10}\text{x}=\frac{\log_\text{e}\text{x}}{\log_\text{e}10}$
$\therefore\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{0.4343}{\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)_{\text{x}=1000}=\frac{0.4343}{1000}=0.0004343$
$\triangle\text{y}=\text{dy}=\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\text{dx}=0.0004343\times5=0.0021715$
$\therefore\log_{10}1005=\text{y}+\triangle\text{y}=3.0021715$

A dealer in rural area wishes to purchase a number of sewing machines. He has only ₹ 5,760 to invest and has space for at most 20 items for storage. An electronic sewing machine costs him  360 and a manually operated sewing machine ₹ 240. He can sell the sewing machine at a profit of ₹ 22 and a manually operated sewing machine at a profit of ₹ 18. Assuming that he can sell all the items that he can buy, how should he invest his money in order to maximize his profit? Make it as an LPP and solve it graphically.

A box manufacturer makes large and small boxes from a large piece of cardboard. The large boxes require $4$ sq. metre per box while the small boxes require $3 sq.$ metre per box. The manufacturer is required to make at least three large boxes and at least twice as many small boxes as large boxes. If $60 sq.$ metre of cardboard is in stock, and if the profits on the large and small boxes are $Rs. 3$ and $Rs. 2$ per box, how many of each should be made in order to maximize the total profit?
