उत्तर

Let first number = x then second number = 24 - x.

According to the question, their product p = x(24 - x) = 24x - x2               ..…(1)

For highest and lowest value, `(dp)/dx = 0`

On differentiating equation (1) with respect to x,

`(dp)/dx = 24 - 2x`

`=> 0 = 24 - 2x`

`=> 2x = 24`

` therefore x = 12`

Again differentiating equation (1) with respect to x,

`(d^2p)/(dx^2) = - 2`     (negative value)

`((d^2p)/dx^2)_(x = 12) = -2 < 0`

p has a masimum value at x = 12

So, the requied number are 12 and 24 - 12 = 12

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`

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.
