`g(x) = x/2 + 2/x, x > 0`

उत्तर
Given function g(x) = `x/2 + 2/x, x > 0`
`g'(x) = 1/2 - 2/(x^2), x > 0`
`= (x^2 - 4)/(2x^2)`
`= ((x - 2)(x + 2))/(2x^2)`
g'(x) = 0 ⇒ (x - 2)(x + 2) = 0
∴ x = -2, 2
∴ Critical points are -2 and 2, but x > 0
∴ Critical point = 2
Now, g''(x) = 0 `- (3 xx 2)/x^3 = 6/x^3`
At x = 2, g''(x) = `6/2^3 = 3/4` (positive)
g'' (x) = -2 (-2) x-3 , x > 0 and
g'' (2) = 4(2)-3 = `4/8 = 1/2 > 0`
∴ At x = 2, the value of g(x) is minimum
And minimum value = g(2) = `2/2 + 2/2 = 2`

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"`
