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`

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`

Complete the following activity to divide 84 into two parts such that the product of one part and square of the other is maximum.
Solution: Let one part be x. Then the other part is 84 - x
Letf (x) = x2 (84 - x) = 84x2 - x3
∴ f'(x) = `square`
and f''(x) = `square`
For extreme values, f'(x) = 0
∴ x = `square "or" square`
f(x) attains maximum at x = `square`
Hence, the two parts of 84 are 56 and 28.
