Question
Find the local maxima and local minima, if any, of the following function. Find also the local maximum and the local minimum values, as the case may be:
`h(x) = sinx + cosx, 0 < x < pi/2`

Solution
given function, `h(x) = sin x + cos x, 0 < x < pi/2`
= h' (x) = cos x - sin x for all `x in (0, pi/2)`
For critical points, let h'(x) = 0
= cos x - sinx = 0
∴ h'(x) = cos x - sin x = cos x (1 - tan x)
`= tan x = 1 = x pi/4`
At x = `pi/4`, if the value of x is kept a little less than `pi/4`, then tan x will be less than 1 and if the value of x is kept a little more than `pi/4`, then tan x will be more than 1.
Thus, the sign of 1 - tan x changes from positive to negative and there is no change in sign in cos x.
Hence, x = `pi/4,`h is maximum.
Local maximum value = h `= (pi/4) = sin pi/4 + cos pi/4`
`= 1/sqrt2 + 1/sqrt2`
`= 2/sqrt2`
`= sqrt2`

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"`
