उत्तर
Profit function P(x) is given by
P(x) = (150 – x)x – 1625
= 150x – x2 – 1625
∴ P'(x) = `"d"/("d"x)(150 x - x^2 - 1625)`
= 150 × 1 – 2x – 0
= 150 – 2x
and
P"(x) = `"d"/("d"x)(150 - 2x)`
= 0 – 2 × 1
= – 2
Now, P'(x) = 0 gives, 150 – 2x = 0
∴ x = 75
and
P''(75) = – 2 < 0
∴ by the second derivative test, P(x) is maximum when x = 75
Maximum profit = P(75)
= (150 – 75)75 – 1625
= 75 × 75 – 1625
= 4000
Hence, the profit will be maximum, if the manufacturer manufactures 75 items and maximum profit is 4000.

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.
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"`
