Question

Check whether the function f : R `rightarrow` R defined by f(x) = x3 + x, has any critical point/s or not ? If yes, then find the point/s.

Sum

Solution

f(x) = x3 + x, for all x ∈ R.

`d/(dx) (f(x))` = f'(x) = 3x2 + 1; for all x ∈ R, x2 ≥ 0

`\implies` f'(x) > 0

Hence, no critical point exists.

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"`
