Question
If$ y = P e^{ax}+ Q e^{bx},$ show that
$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}-(\text{a}+\text{b})\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}+\text{aby}=0$

Answer

$y = P e^{ax} + Q e^{bx }$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$
$= a P e^{ax} + b Q e^{bx}$
$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}= a^2p e^{_{ax}} + b^{2 }Q e^{bx}$
$\therefore\ \text{LHS}=​​​​$$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}$– (a + b)$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$ +aby
$= a^2 P e^{ax} + b^2 Q e^{bx} – (a + b) \{a P e^{ax} + b Q e^{bx}\}+ ab \{P e^{ax} + Q e^{bx}\}$
$= P e^{ax} \{a^2 – a^2 – ab + ab\}+ Q e^{bx} \{b^2 – ab – b^2 + ab\}$
$= 0 + 0 = 0. = R.H.S.$

A company manufactures two articles $A$ and $B.$ There are two departments through which these articles are processed: $(i)$ assembly and $(ii)$ finishing departments. The maximum capacity of the first department is $60$ hours a week and that of other department is $48$ hours per week. The product of each unit of article A requires $4$ hours in assembly and $2$ hours in finishing and that of each unit of $B$ requires $2$ hours in assembly and $4$ hours in finishing. If the profit is $Rs. 6$ for each unit of $A$ and $Rs. 8$ for each unit of $B,$ find the number of units of $A$ and $B$ to be produced per week in order to have maximum profit.
