Question
Find the maximum and minimum value, if any, of the following function given by f(x) = 9x2 + 12x + 2
Advertisements
Solution
We have,
`f (x) = 9x^2 + 12x + 2 = 9 (x^2 + 4/3 x) + 2`
`= 9 {x^2 + 4/3x + 4/9} + 2 - 4 = 9 (x + 2/3)^2 - 2`
Since, `(x + 2/3)^2 >= 0`
= `9 (x + 2/3)^2 - 2 >= -2`
= f (x) ≥ -2 for all x ∈ R.
∴ Minimum f (x) = -2, which occurs when,
`x + 2/3 = 0, i.e, when (x + 2/3) = 0` when `x = -2/3`
f (x) has no maximum value, for f (x), f (x) → ∞ as |x| → ∞

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"`
