उत्तर

Let the length and breadth of a rectangle be x and y, respectively.

∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (x + y) = 36 cm

∴ x + y = 18

∴ y = 18 − x      ....(i)

Area of rectangle = x × y

= x (18 − x)    ...from eq (i)

Let f(x) = x(18 − x)

= 18x − x2

Then f'(x) = `d/dx (18 - x^2)`

= 18 × 1 − 2x

= 18 − 2x

and f''(x) `d/dx (18 - 2x)`

= 0 − 2 × 1

= −2

Now, f'(x) = 0, if 18 − 2x = 0

i.e., if x = 9

and f''(9) = −2 < 0

∴ by the second derivative test, f has a maximum value at x = 9.

When x = 9, y = 18 − 9 = 9

Hence, the rectangle is a square of side 9 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`
