Question
If $\text{y}=\sqrt{\text{a}^2-\text{x}^2},$ prove that $\text{y}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}+\text{x}=0$

Answer

DIfferentiating with respect to x,
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\big(\sqrt{\text{a}^2-\text{x}^2}\big)$
$=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\text{a}^2-\text{x}^2}}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\big(\text{a}^2-\text{x}^2\big)$
[Using chain rule]
$=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\text{a}^2-\text{x}^2}}(-2\text{x})$
$=\frac{-\text{x}}{\sqrt{\text{a}^2-\text{x}^2}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{-\text{x}}{\text{y}}$
$\big[\text{Since},\sqrt{\text{a}^2-\text{x}^2}=\text{y}\big]$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=-\text{x}$
Hence, the solution is, $\text{y}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}+\text{x}=0$

A factory manufactures two types of screws A and B, each type requiring the use of two machines, an automatic and a hand-operated. It takes 4 minutes on the automatic and 6 minutes on the hand-operated machines to manufacture a packet of screws ‘A’ while it takes 6 minutes on the automatic and 3 minutes on the hand-operated machine to manufacture a packet of screws ‘B’. Each machine is available for at most 4 hours on any day. The manufacturer can sell a packet of screws ‘A’ at a profit of 70 paise and screws ‘B’ at a profit of Rs. 1. Assuming that he can sell all the screws he manufactures, how many packets of each type should the factory owner produce in a day in order to maximize his profit? Formulate the above LPP and solve it graphically and find the maximum profit.
