उत्तर
Let x metres and y metres be the length and breadth of the rectangle.
Then its perimeter is 2(x + y) = 36
∴ x + y = 18
∴ y = 18 – x
Area of the rectangle = xy = x(18 – x)
Let f'(x) = x(18 – x) = 18x – x2
∴ f'(x) = `d/(dx)(18x - x^2)` = 18 – 2x
and f'(x) = `d/(dx)(18 - 2x)` = 0 – 2 × 1 = –2
Now, f'(x) = 0, if 18 – 2x = 0
i.e. if x = 9
and f'(9) = – 2 < 0
∴ By the second derivative test, f has maximum value at x = 9.
When x = 9, y = 18 – 9 = 9
∴ x = 9 cm, y = 9 cm
∴ Rectangle is a square of side 9 metres.

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.
