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

Answer

Here, $\text{y}=\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{a}^2}$
Differentiating with respect to x,
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\big(\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{a}^2}\big)$
$=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{a}^2}}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\big(\text{x}^2+\text{a}^2\big)$
[Using chain rule]
$=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{a}^2}}\times(2\text{x})$
$=\frac{\text{x}}{\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{a}^2}}$
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\ \Big[\text{Since},\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{a}^2}=\text{y}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow \text{y}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}-\text{x}=0$

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?
