Question
Find two positive numbers x and y such that x + y = 60 and xy3 is maximum.

Solution
Let the two number be x and y and x + y = 60. ...(i)
Let P = xy3
⇒ P = (60 - y)y3 ...[from(i)]
⇒ P = 60y3 - y4
⇒ `(dP)/dy = 180y^2 - 4y^3`
For maximum P, we must have `(dP)/dy = 0`
⇒ 180y2 - 4y3 = 0
⇒ 4y2 (45 - y) = 0
⇒ y = 45 ...(∵ 0 < y < 60)
Also, `(d^2P)/dy^2 = 360y - 12y^2 and`
`((d^2P)/dy^2)_(y = 45) = 360 xx 45 - 12 xx (45)^2 < 0`
Therefore, P is maximum when y = 45
∴ The required numbers are x = 60 - y = 60 - 45 = 15 and y = 45.

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`

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.
