उत्तर
Let ΔABC be the right angled triangle in which ∠B = 90°
Let AC = x, BC = y
∴ AB = `sqrt(x^2 - y^2)`
∠ACB = θ
Let Z = x + y ....(Given)
Now area of ΔABC, A = `1/2 xx "AB" xx "BC"`
⇒ A = `1/2 y * sqrt(x^2 - y^2)`
⇒ A = `1/2 y * sqrt(("Z" - y)^2 - y^2)`
Squaring both sides, we get
⇒ A2 = `1/4 y^2 [("Z" - y)^2 - y^2]`
⇒ A2 = `1/4 y^2 ["Z"^2 + y^2 - 2"Z" y - y^2]`
⇒ P = `1/4 y^2 ["Z"^2 - 2"Z"y]`
⇒ P = `1/4 [y^2"Z"^2 - 2"Z"y^3]` ....[A2 = P]
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. y we get
`"dP"/"dy" = 1/4 [2y"Z"^2 - 6"Z"y^2]` .....(i)
For local maxima and local minima,
`"dP"/"dy"` = 0
∴ `1/4 (2y"Z"^2 - 6"Z"y^2)` = 0
⇒ `(2y"Z")/4 ("Z" - 3y)` = 0
⇒ yZ(Z – 3y) = 0
⇒ yZ ≠ 0 .....(∵ y ≠ 0 and Z ≠ 0)
⇒ Z – 3y = 0
⇒ y = `"Z"/3`
⇒ y = `(x + y)/3` .....(∵ Z = x + y)
⇒ 3y = x + y
⇒ 3y – y = x
⇒ 2y = x
⇒ `y/x = 1/2`
⇒ cos θ = `1/2`
∴ θ = `pi/3`
Differentiating eq. (i) w.r.t. y,
We have `("d"^2"P")/("dy"^2) = 1/4 [2"Z"^2 - 12"Z"y]`
`("d"^2"P")/("dy"^2)` at y = `"Z"/3 = 1/4 [2"Z"^2 - 12"Z" * "Z"/3]`
= `1/4 [2"Z"^2 - 4"Z"^2]`
= `(-"Z"^2)/2 < 0`
Hence, the area of the given triangle is maximum when the angle between its hypotenuse and a side is `pi/3`.

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`

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.
