Question
If $\text{x}=\text{a}(\theta+\sin\theta),\text{y}=\text{a}(1+\cos\theta),$ find $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}.$

Answer

Here,
$\text{x}=\text{a}(\theta+\sin\theta)$
Differentiating it with respect to $\theta$,
$\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{d}\theta}=\text{a}\Big(\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}\theta}(\theta)+\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}\theta}(\sin\theta)\Big)$
$\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{d}\theta}=\text{a}(1+\cos\theta)\ .....(\text{i})$
And, $\text{y}=\text{a}(1+\cos\theta)$
Differentiating it with respect to $\theta$,
$\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{d}\theta}=\text{a}(0-\sin\theta)$
$\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{d}\theta}=\text{a}\sin\theta\ .....(\text{ii})$
Dividing equation (ii) by (i),
$\frac{\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{d}\theta}}{\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{d}\theta}}=\frac{-\text{a}\sin\theta}{\text{a}(1+\cos\theta)}$
$=\frac{-\frac{2\sin\theta}{2}\frac{\cos\theta}{2}}{\frac{2\cos^2\theta}{2}}$
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=-\frac{\tan\theta}{2}$

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?
