Solution 1

y = 5x3 + 2x2 – 3x

∴ `dy/dx = d/dx(5x^3 + 2x^2 - 3x)`

= 5 × 3x2 + 2 × 2x – 3 × 1

= 15x2 + 4x  –  3

and `(d^2y)/(dx^2) = d/dx(15x^2 + 4x - 3)`

= 15 × 2x + 4 x 1 – 0
= 30x + 4

`dy/dx` = 0 gives 15x2 + 4x – 3 = 0

∴ 15x2 + 9x – 5x – 3 = 0

∴ 3x(5x + 3) – 1(5x + 3) = 0

∴ (5x + 3)(3x – 1) = 0

∴ x = `-(3)/(5) or x = (1)/(3)`

∴ the roots of `dy/dx = 0` are `x_1 = -(3)/(5) and x_2 = (1)/(3)`.

Second Derivative Test:

(a) `((d^2y)/dx^2)_("at"  x = - 3/5) = 30(-3/5) + 4` = – 14 < 0

∴ by the second derivative test, y is maximum at x = `-(3)/(5)` and maximum value of y at x = `-(3)/(5)`

= `5(-3/5)^3 + 2(-3/5)^2 - 3(-3/5)`

= `(-27)/(25) + (18)/(25) + (9)/(5)`

= `(36)/(25)`

(b) `((d^2y)/dx^2)_("at"  x = 1/3) = 30(1/3) + 4` = 14 > 0

∴ by the second derivative test, y is minimum at x = `(1)/(3)` and minimum value of y at x = `(1)/(3)`

= `5(1/3)^3 + 2(1/3)^2 - 3(1/3)`

= `(5)/(27) + (2)/(9) - 1`

= `-(16)/(27)`

Hence, the function has maximum value `(36)/(25)` at x = `-(3)/(5)` and minimum value `-(16)/(27) "at"  x = (1)/(3)`.

Solution 2

y = 5x3 + 2x2 – 3x

∴ `dy/dx = d/dx(5x^3 + 2x^2 - 3x)`

= 5 × 3x2 + 2 × 2x – 3 × 1

= 15x2 + 4x  –  3

`dy/dx` = 0 gives 15x2 + 4x – 3 = 0

∴ 15x2 + 9x – 5x – 3 = 0

∴ 3x(5x + 3) – 1(5x + 3) = 0

∴ (5x + 3)(3x – 1) = 0

∴ x = `-(3)/(5) or x = (1)/(3)`

∴ the roots of `dy/dx = 0` are `x_1 = -(3)/(5) and x_2 = (1)/(3)`.

First Derivative Test:

(a) `dy/dx` = 15x2 + 4x – 3 = (5x + 3)(3x – 1)

Consider x = `-(3)/(5)`

Let h be a small positive number. Then

`(dy/dx)_("at"  x = -3/5 - h) = [5(-3/5 - h) + 3][3 (-3/5 - h) - 1]`

= `( - 3 - 5h + 3)(-9/5 - 3h - 1)`

= `-5h (-14/5 - 3h)`

= `5h (14/5 + 3h) > 0`

 

and `(dy/dx)_("at" x = -3/5 + h) = [5(-3/5 + h) + 3][3 (-3/5 + h) - 1]`

= `(- 3 + 5h + 3)(-9/5 + 3h - 1)`

= `5h(3h - 14/5) < 0`,

as h is small positive number.

∴ by the first derivative test, y is maximum at x = `-(3)/(5)` and maximum value of y at x = `-(3)/(5)`

= `5(-3/5)^3 + 2(-3/5)^2 - 3(-3/5)`

= `-(27)/(25) + (18)/(25) + (9)/(5) = (36)/(25)`

(b) `dy/dx` = 15x2 + 4x – 3 = (5x + 3)(3x – 1)

Consider x = `(1)/(3)`

Let h be a small positive number. Then

`(dy/dx)_("at"  x =1/3 - h) = [5(1/3 - h) + 3][3 (1/3 - h) - 1]`

= `(5/3 - 5h + 3)(1 - 3h - 1)`

= `(14/5 - 5h)(-3h)` < 0, as h is small positive number

and `(dy/dx)_("at" x = 1/3 + h) = [5(1/3 + h) + 3][3 (1/3 + h) - 1]`

= `(5/3 + 5h + 3)(1 + 3h - 1)`

= `(14/3 + 5h)(3h) > 0`

∴ by the first derivative test, y is minimum at x = `(1)/(3)` and minimum value of y at x = `(1)/(3)`

= `5(1/3)^3 + 2(1/3)^2 - 3(1/3)`

= `(5)/(27) + (2)/(9) - 1`

= `(-16)/(27)`

Hence, the function has maximum value `(36)/(25)  "at"  x = -(3)/(5)` and minimum value `-(16)/(27) "at"  x = (1)/(3)`.

If Mr. Rane order x chairs at the price p = (2x2 - 12x - 192) per chair. How many chairs should he order so that the cost of deal is minimum?

Solution: Let Mr. Rane order x chairs.

Then the total price of x chairs = p·x = (2x2 - 12x- 192)x

= 2x3 - 12x2 - 192x

Let f(x) = 2x3 - 12x2 - 192x

∴ f'(x) = `square` and f''(x) = `square`

f'(x ) = 0 gives x = `square` and f''(8) = `square` > 0

∴ f is minimum when x = 8

Hence, Mr. Rane should order 8 chairs for minimum cost of deal.


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"`
