Solution

Here, f(x) = cos2 x + sin x, x ϵ (0, π)

∴ f'(x) = 2 cos x (- sin x) + cos x

= cos x (- 2 sin x + 1)

For maximum / minimum values, f (x) = 0

⇒ cos x (- 2 sin x + 1) = 0

`=> sin x = 1/2 => x = pi/6` and cos x = 0 ⇒ x = `pi/2`

In the interval [0, π], the critical points are x = `pi/6` and x = `pi/2`.

∴ f(0) = cos2 0 + sin 0 = 1

`f(pi/6) = cos^2  pi/6 + sin  pi/6`

`= (sqrt3/2)^2 + 1/2`

`= 3/4 + 1/2`

`= (3 + 2)/4 = 5/4`

`f(pi/2) = cos^2  pi/2 + sin  pi/2`

= 0 + 1 = 1

Hence, the absolute maximum and minimum value are `5/4` and 1, respectively.

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"`
