उत्तर
For all real values of x, the minimum value of `(1 - x + x^2)/(1+x+x^2)` is `underline(1/3)`.
Explanation:
Let, y = `(1 - x + x^2)/(1 + x = x^2)`
Differentiating both sides with respect to x,
`dy/dx = ((-1 + 2x)(1 + x + x^2) - (1 - x + x^2)(1 + 2x))/((1 + x + x^2)^2)`
`= ((- 1 - x + x^2) + (2x + 2x^2 + 2x^3) - [(1 - x + x^2 + 2x - 2x^2 = 2x^3)])/((1 + x + x^2)^2)`
`= (-1 - x - x^2 + 2x + 2x^2 + 2x^3 - 1 + x - x^2 - 2x + 2x^2 - 2x^3)/((1 + x + x^2)^2)`
`= (-2 + 2x^2)/((1 + x + x^2)^2)`
`= (2 (x^2 - 1))/((1 + x + x^2)^2)`
`= (2(x - 1)(x + 1))/((1 + x + x^2)^2)`
For highest and lowest value, `dy/dx = 0`
`therefore (2(x - 1)(x + 1))/((1 + x + x^2)^2) = 0/1`
`=>` (x - 1)(x + 1) = 0
`therefore` x = 1, -1
The sign of `dy/dx` at x = 1 changes from negative to positive when the point moves through x = 1.
`therefore` y is minimum at the point x = 1.

Complete the following activity to divide 84 into two parts such that the product of one part and square of the other is maximum.
Solution: Let one part be x. Then the other part is 84 - x
Letf (x) = x2 (84 - x) = 84x2 - x3
∴ f'(x) = `square`
and f''(x) = `square`
For extreme values, f'(x) = 0
∴ x = `square "or" square`
f(x) attains maximum at x = `square`
Hence, the two parts of 84 are 56 and 28.
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.
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"`
