Question
A ball is thrown in the air. Its height at any time t is given by h = 3 + 14t – 5t2. Find the maximum height it can reach.

Solution
The height h at any t is given by h = 3 + 14t – 5t2
∴ `"dh"/dt = d/dt(3 + 14t - 5t^2)`
= 0 + 14 x 1 – 5 x 2t
= 14 – 10t
and `(d^2h)/(dt^2) = d/dt(14 - 10t)`
= 0 – 10 x 1
= – 10
The root of `"dh"/dt` = 0,
i.e. 14 – 10t = 0 is t = `(14)/(10) = (7)/(5)`
and
`((d^2h)/(dt^2))_("at" t = 7/5)` = −10 < 0
∴ By the second derivative test, h is maximum at t = `(7)/(5)`.
∴ Maximum height = `(3 + 14t – 5t^2)_("at" t = 7/5)`
= `3 + 14(7/5) - 5(7/5)^2`
= `3 + (98)/(5) - (245)/(25)`
= `(75 + 490 - 245)/(25)`
= `(320)/(25)`
= 12.8
Hence, the maximum height the ball can reach = 12.8 units.

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.
