Question
Find the absolute maximum value and the absolute minimum value of the following function in the given interval:
`f(x) =x^3, x in [-2,2]`
Advertisements
Solution
f (x) =x3, x ∈ [-2, 2]
= f' (x) = 3x2
For critical points, f' (x) = 0
= 3x2 = 0
= x = 0 ∈ [-2, 2]
Hence, for finding the absolute maximum value and the absolute minimum value, we have to evaluate f (0), f (-2) and f (2).
Now f(0) = 03, f(-2) = (-2)3 = -8 and f (2) = 23 = 8
∴ Absolute maximum value of f (x) = 8 at x = 2 and absolute minimum value of f (x) = -8 at x = -2.

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"`
