उत्तर

Let ABCD be a rectangle inscribed in a circle of radius r. Let AB = x and BC = y.
Then x2 + y2 = 4r2 … (1)
Area of rectangle = xy
= `xsqrt(4r^2 - x^2)` ...[By (1)]
Let f(x) = x2(4t2 – x2)
= 4r2x2 – x4
∴ f'(x) = `d/dx(4r^2x^2 - x^4)`
= 4r2 x 2x – 4x3
= 8r2x – 4x3
and
f"(x) = `d/dx(8r^2x - 4x^3)`
= 8r2 x 1 – 4 x 3x2
= 8r2 – 12x2
For maximum area, f'(x) = 0
∴ 8r2x – 4x3 = 0
∴ 4x3 = 8r2x
∴ x2 = 2r2 ...[∵ x ≠ 0]
∴ x = `sqrt(2)r` ...[∵ x > 0]
and
`f"(sqrt(2r)) = 8r^2 – 12(sqrt(2r))`
= – 16r2 < 0
∴ f(x) is maximum when x = `sqrt(2)r`
If x = `sqrt(2)r`, then from (1),
`(sqrt(2r))^2 + y^2` = 4r2
∴ y2 = 4r2 – 2r2 = 2r2
∴ y = `sqrt(2)r` ...[∵ y > 0]
∴ x = y
∴ rectangle is a square.
Hence, amongst all rectangles inscribed in a circle, the square has maximum area.

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.
