Solve the following:
A wire of length l is cut into two parts. One part is bent into a circle and the other into a square. Show that the sum of the areas of the circle and the square is the least, if the radius of the circle is half of the side of the square.

उत्तर
Let r be the radius of the circle and x be the length of the side of the square.
Then,
Total length of the wire = circumference of the circle + perimeter of the square = l
∴ 2πr + 4x = l
∴ r = `(l - 4x)/(2pi)`
A = area of the circle + area of the square
= πr2 + x2
= `pi((l - 4x)/(2pi))^2 + x^2`
= `x^2+ (1)/(4pi) (l - 4x)^2`
= f(x) ...(Say)
Then f'(x) = `2x + (1)/(4pi) xx 2(l - 4x)(- 4)`
= `2x - (2)/pi(l - 4x)`
and
f"(x) = `2 - (2)/pi( - 4)`
= `2 + (8)/pi`
Now, f'(x) = 0 when `2x - (2)/pi (l - 4x)` = 0
i.e. when 2πx – 2l + 8x = 0
i.e when 2(π + 4)x = 2l
i.e. when x = `l/(pi + 4)`
and
f"`(l/(pi + 4)) = 2 + (8)/pi > 0`
∴ By the second derivative test, f has a minimum,
When x = `l/(pi + 4)`.
For this value of x,
r = `(l - 4(l/(pi + 4)))/(2pi)`
= `(pil + 4l - 4l)/(2pi(pi + 4)`
= `l/(2(pi + 4)`
= `x/(2)`
This shows that the sum of the areas of circle and square is least, when radius of the circle = `(1/2)` side of the square.

A metal wire of 36 cm long is bent to form a rectangle. By completing the following activity, find it’s dimensions when it’s area is maximum.
Solution: Let the dimensions of the rectangle be x cm and y cm.
∴ 2x + 2y = 36
Let f(x) be the area of rectangle in terms of x, then
f(x) = `square`
∴ f'(x) = `square`
∴ f''(x) = `square`
For extreme value, f'(x) = 0, we get
x = `square`
∴ f''`(square)` = – 2 < 0
∴ Area is maximum when x = `square`, y = `square`
∴ Dimensions of rectangle are `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.
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.
