Find two numbers whose sum is 24 and whose product is as large as possible.

उत्तर
Let first number = x then second number = 24 - x.
According to the question, their product p = x(24 - x) = 24x - x2 ..…(1)
For highest and lowest value, `(dp)/dx = 0`
On differentiating equation (1) with respect to x,
`(dp)/dx = 24 - 2x`
`=> 0 = 24 - 2x`
`=> 2x = 24`
` therefore x = 12`
Again differentiating equation (1) with respect to x,
`(d^2p)/(dx^2) = - 2` (negative value)
`((d^2p)/dx^2)_(x = 12) = -2 < 0`
p has a masimum value at x = 12
So, the requied number are 12 and 24 - 12 = 12

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"`
