उत्तर
Let x metres and y metres be the length and breadth of the rectangle.
Then its perimeter is 2(x + y) = 36
∴ x + y = 18
∴ y = 18 – x
Area of the rectangle = xy = x(18 – x)
Let f'(x) = x(18 – x) = 18x – x2
∴ f'(x) = `d/(dx)(18x - x^2)` = 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 maximum value at x = 9.
When x = 9, y = 18 – 9 = 9
∴ x = 9 cm, y = 9 cm
∴ Rectangle is a square of side 9 metres.

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.
