Question

Show that $\text{f(x)}=|\cos\text{x}|$ is a continuous function.

Answer

If f is a real function on a subset of the real numbers and c be a point in the domain off, then f is
continuous at c is $\lim\limits_{{\text{x}}\rightarrow\text{c}}\text{f(x)}=\text{f(c)}$
Step I:
Let $\text{g(x)}=|\text{x}|$
$\text{h(x)}=\cos\text{x}$
$\text{f(x)}=(\text{goh})(\text{x})$
$=\text{g}(\text{h(x)})$
$=\text{g}(\cos\text{x})$
$={|\cos\text{x}|}$
$\text{g(x)}=|\text{x}|$ and $\text{h(x)}=\cos\text{x}$
Both are continuous for all values of $\text{x}\in\text{R}$
Step II:
(goh)(x) is also continuous
$\text{f(x)}=(\text{goh})(\text{x})$
$={|\cos\text{x}|}$
$\text{f(x)}={|\cos\text{x}|}$ is continuous for all values of $\text{x}\in\text{R}$

A rubber company is engaged in producing three types of tyres A, B and C. Each type requires processing in two plants, Plant I and Plant II. The capacities of the two plants, in number of tyres per day, are as follows:

Plant	A	B	C
I	50	100	100
II	60	60	200

The monthly demand for tyre A, B and C is 2500, 3000 and 7000 respectively. If plant I costs Rs. 2500 per day, and plant II costs Rs. 3500 per day to operate, how many days should each be run per month to minimize cost while meeting the demand? Formulate the problem as LPP.
