Find two positive numbers whose sum is 16 and the sum of whose cubes is minimum.

उत्तर
Let the numbers be x and 16 - x and let
S = x3 + (16 - x)3
⇒ S = x3 + (16 - x)3
⇒ `(dS)/dx = 3x^2 + 3 (16 - x)^2 (-1)`
For minimum S, let `(dS)/dx = 0`
⇒ 3x2 - 3 (16 - x)2 = 0
⇒ x2 - (256 + x2 - 32x) = 0
⇒ 32x = 256
⇒ x = 8
`((d^2S)/dx^2) = 6x + 16 (16 - x) `
`((d^2S)/dx^2)_(x = 8) = 96 > 0`
∴ S has a minimum at x = 8
∴ The required numbers are 8 and 8.

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.
