उत्तर
Let x cm be the length of each side of the square which is to be cut off from each corner of the square tin sheet of side 18 cm.
Let V be the volume of the open box formed by folding up the flaps, then
V = x (18 - 2x) (18 - 2x) = 4x (9 - x)2
= 4 (x3 - 18x2 + 81x)
Differentiate w.r.t.x., we get
`(dV)/dx = 4(3x^2 - 36x + 81) = 12 (x^2 - 12x + 27)`
For maximum / minimum volume
`(dV)/dx = 0`
⇒ 12 (x2 - 12x + 27) = 0
⇒ 12 (x - 3) (x - 9) = 0
⇒ x = 3, 9 but 0 < x < 9
⇒ x = 3
`((d^2V)/dx^2) = 12 (2x - 12) = 24 (x - 6)`
and `((d^2V)/dx^2)_(x=3) = 24 (3 - 6) = -72 <0`
⇒ V has a maximum at x = 3
Hence, the volume of the box is at its maximum when the side of the square to be cut off is 3 cm.

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`

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.
