Question

Divide the number 30 into two parts such that their product is maximum.

Sum

Solution

Let the first part of 30 – x.

∴ Their product

= x(30 – x) 

= 30x –  x2

= f'(x)                  ......(Say)

∴ f'(x) = `"d"/("d"x)(30x - x^2)`

= 30 × 1 − 2x

= 30 − 2x

and f'(x) = `"d"/("d"x)(30 - 2x)`

= 0 – 2 × 1

= – 2

The root of the equation f'(x) = 0

i.e. 30 – 2x = 0 is x = 15

and f'(15) = – 2 < 0

∴ By the second derivative test, f is maximum at x = 15.

Hence, the required parts of 30 are 15 and 15.

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.
