उत्तर
Let the length, breadth and height of the metal box be x cm, x cm and y cm respectively.
It is given that the box can contain 1024 cm3.
∴ 1024 = x2y
`=> y = 1024/x^2` .....(1)
Let C be the cost in rupees of the material used to construct.
Then
`C = 5x^2+5x^2 + 5/2 xx 4xy`
`C = 10x^2 + 10xy`
We have to find the least value of C.
`C = 10x^2 + 10xy`
`C = 10x^2 + 10x xx 1024/x^2`
`C = 10x^2 + 10240/x`
`=> (dC)/(dx) = 20x - 10240/x^2`
And
`=> (d^2C)/(dx^2) = 20 + 20480/x^3`
The Critical number for C are given by `(dC)/(dx) = 0`
Now
`=> (dC)/(dx) = 0`
`=> 20x - 10240/x^2 = 0`
`=> x^3 = 512`
`=> x = 8`
Also `((d^2C)/(dx^2))_(x = 8) = 20 + 20480/8^3 >0`
Thus, the cost of the box is least when x = 8.
Put x = 8 in (1), we get y = 16.
So, dimensions of the box are 8 × 8 × 16
Put x = 8, y = 16 in C = 10x2 + 10xy, we get C = 1920
Hence the least cost of the box is 1920

Complete the following activity to divide 84 into two parts such that the product of one part and square of the other is maximum.
Solution: Let one part be x. Then the other part is 84 - x
Letf (x) = x2 (84 - x) = 84x2 - x3
∴ f'(x) = `square`
and f''(x) = `square`
For extreme values, f'(x) = 0
∴ x = `square "or" square`
f(x) attains maximum at x = `square`
Hence, the two parts of 84 are 56 and 28.
If Mr. Rane order x chairs at the price p = (2x2 - 12x - 192) per chair. How many chairs should he order so that the cost of deal is minimum?
Solution: Let Mr. Rane order x chairs.
Then the total price of x chairs = p·x = (2x2 - 12x- 192)x
= 2x3 - 12x2 - 192x
Let f(x) = 2x3 - 12x2 - 192x
∴ f'(x) = `square` and f''(x) = `square`
f'(x ) = 0 gives x = `square` and f''(8) = `square` > 0
∴ f is minimum when x = 8
Hence, Mr. Rane should order 8 chairs for minimum cost of deal.
