उत्तर

For maxima and minima,

P'(x) = 0

`\implies` 42 – 2x = 0

`\implies` x = 21 and P"(x) = –2 < 0

So, P(x) is maximum at x = 21.

The maximum value of P(x) = 72 + (42 × 21) – (21)2 = 513

i.e., the maximum profit is ₹ 513.

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.


The rectangle has area of 50 cm2. Complete the following activity to find its dimensions for least perimeter.

Solution: Let x cm and y cm be the length and breadth of a rectangle.

Then its area is xy = 50

∴ `y =50/x`

Perimeter of rectangle `=2(x+y)=2(x+50/x)`

Let f(x) `=2(x+50/x)`

Then f'(x) = `square` and f''(x) = `square`

Now,f'(x) = 0, if x = `square`

But x is not negative.

∴ `x = root(5)(2)   "and" f^('')(root(5)(2))=square>0`

∴ by the second derivative test f is minimum at x = `root(5)(2)`

When x = `root(5)(2),y=50/root(5)(2)=root(5)(2)`

∴ `x=root(5)(2)  "cm" , y = root(5)(2)  "cm"`

Hence, rectangle is a square of side `root(5)(2)  "cm"`
