Question

Find the approximate value of cos (89°, 30'). [Given is: 1° = 0.0175°C]

Advertisements

Solution

Let f(x) = cos x
 f '(x) = - sin x

`x=89^@ 30'=(89(1/2))^@=pi/2-1^@/2=a+h`

`here a=pi/2 `

`and h=-1^@/2=-0.0175/2=-0.00875`

`f(a)=f(pi/2)=cos(pi/2)=0`

`f'(a)=f'(pi/2)=-sin(pi/2)=-1`

`f(a+h)~~f(a)+hf'(a)`

`cos(89^@30')~~0+(– 0.00875) (–1)`

`~~0.00875`

By completing the following activity, examine the function f(x) = x3 – 9x2 + 24x for maxima and minima

Solution: f(x) = x3 – 9x2 + 24x

∴ f'(x) = `square`

∴ f''(x) = `square`

For extreme values, f'(x) = 0, we get

x = `square` or `square`

∴ f''`(square)` = – 6 < 0

∴ f(x) is maximum at x = 2.

∴ Maximum value = `square`

∴ f''`(square)` = 6 > 0

∴ f(x) is maximum at x = 4.

∴ Minimum value = `square`

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"`
