Question
Divide 20 into two ports, so that their product is maximum.

Solution
Let one part of 20 be x.
∴ The other part is (20 – x)
∴ Product = x.(20 – x)
Which has to be maximized.
∴ f(x) = x.(20 – x)
= 20x – x2
∴ f'(x) = 20 – 2x
f"(x) = – 2 < 0
Let f'(x) = 0
∴ 20 – 2x = 0
⇒ 2x = 20
⇒ x = 10
And f"(x) = – 2 < 0
∴ By 2nd derivative test, f is maximum at x = 10
∴ 20 – x = 20 – 10 = 10.
∴ The required parts of 20 are 10 and 10.

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"`
