Find the maximum profit that a company can make, if the profit function is given by P(x) = 72 + 42x – x2, where x is the number of units and P is the profit in rupees.

उत्तर
For maxima and minima,
P'(x) = 0
`\implies` 42 – 2x = 0
`\implies` x = 21 and P"(x) = –2 < 0
So, P(x) is maximum at x = 21.
The maximum value of P(x) = 72 + (42 × 21) – (21)2 = 513
i.e., the maximum profit is ₹ 513.

Find the local maximum and local minimum value of f(x) = x3 − 3x2 − 24x + 5
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`
