उत्तर

Let x be the side of square base and h be the height of the box.
Then x2 + 4xh = a2

∴ h = `(a^2 - x^2)/(4x)`                    ...(1)

Let V be the volume of the box.

Then V = x2h

∴ V = `x^2((a^2- x^2)/(4x))`           ...[By (1)]

∴ V = `(1)/(4)(a^2x - x^3)`               ...(2)

∴ `"dV"/dx = (1)/(4)"d"/"dx"(a^2x - x^3)`

= `(1)/(4)(a^2 xx 1 - 3x^2)`

= `(1)/(4)(a^2 - 3x^2)`

and

`(d^2V)/(dx^2) = (1)/(4).d/dx(a^2 - 3x^2)`

= `(1)/(4)(0 - 3 xx 2x)`

= `-(3)/(2)x`

Now, `"dV"/dx = 0  "gives" (1)/(4)(a^2 - 3x^2)` = 0

∴ a2 – 3x2 = 0

∴ 3x2 = a2

∴ x2 = `a^2/(3)`

∴ x = `a/sqrt(3)`       ...[∵ x > 0]

and

`((d^2V)/dx^2)_("at" x = a/sqrt(3)`

= `-(3)/(2) xx a/sqrt(3)`

= `-sqrt(3)/(2) a < 0`

∴ V is maximum when x = `a/sqrt(3)`

From (2), maximum volume = `[1/4(a^2x - x^3)]_("at" x = a/sqrt3)`

= `(1)/(4)(a^2 xx a/sqrt(3) - a^3/(3sqrt(3)))`

= `(1)/(4)((2a^3)/(3sqrt(3)))`

= `a^3/(6sqrt(3)`

Hence, the maximum volume of the box is `a^3/(6sqrt(3)`  cu. unit.

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`

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"`
