उत्तर

Let x cm be the side of square base and h cm be its height.

Then x2 + 4xh = 147

∴ h = `(147 - x^2)/(4x)`                    ...(1)

Let V = `x^2"h"`

= `x^2((147 - x^2)/(4x))`   ...[By (1)]

∴ V = `(1)/(4)(147x - x^3)`

∴ `"dV"/("d"x) = (1)/(4) (147x - x^3) = 0`

∴ 147 = 3x2

∴ `147/3 = x^2`

∴ x2 = 49

∴ x = 7

Put in eq (i)

∴ h = `(147 - x^2)/(4x)`   

∴ h = `(147 - 49)/(4(7))`   

∴ h = `98/(4 xx 7)`

∴ h = `14/4`

∴ h = `7/2`

∴ h = 3.5

Hence, the volume of the box is largest when the side of square base is 7 cm and its height is 3.5 cm.

By completing the following activity, examine the function f(x) = x3 – 9x2 + 24x for maxima and minima

Solution: f(x) = x3 – 9x2 + 24x

∴ f'(x) = `square`

∴ f''(x) = `square`

For extreme values, f'(x) = 0, we get

x = `square` or `square`

∴ f''`(square)` = – 6 < 0

∴ f(x) is maximum at x = 2.

∴ Maximum value = `square`

∴ f''`(square)` = 6 > 0

∴ f(x) is maximum at x = 4.

∴ Minimum value = `square`
