Question
Find two numbers whose sum is 24 and whose product is as large as possible.

Solution
Let first number = x then second number = 24 - x.
According to the question, their product p = x(24 - x) = 24x - x2 ..…(1)
For highest and lowest value, `(dp)/dx = 0`
On differentiating equation (1) with respect to x,
`(dp)/dx = 24 - 2x`
`=> 0 = 24 - 2x`
`=> 2x = 24`
` therefore x = 12`
Again differentiating equation (1) with respect to x,
`(d^2p)/(dx^2) = - 2` (negative value)
`((d^2p)/dx^2)_(x = 12) = -2 < 0`
p has a masimum value at x = 12
So, the requied number are 12 and 24 - 12 = 12

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.
