Question
Divide the number 20 into two parts such that their product is maximum
Advertisements
Solution
The given number is 20.
Let x be one part of the number and y be the other part.
∴ x + y = 20
∴ y = (20 – x) ......(i)
The product of two numbers is xy.
∴ f(x) = xy
= x(20 – x) ......[From (i)]
= 20x – x2
∴ f'(x) = 20 – 2x and f''(x) = – 2
Consider, f'(x) = 0
∴ 20 – 2x = 0
∴ 20 = 2x
∴ x = 10
For x = 10,
f''(10) = – 2 < 0
∴ f(x), i.e., product is maximum at x = 10
and y = 20 – 10 ......[From (i)]
i.e., y = 10
