Solution
If x is real, the minimum value of x2 – 8x + 17 is 1.
Explanation:
Let f(x) = x2 – 8x + 17
f'(x) = 2x – 8
For local maxima and local minima, f'(x) = 0
∴ 2x – 8 = 0
⇒ x = 4
So, x = 4 is the point of local maxima and local minima.
f'(x) = 2 > 0 minima at x = 4
∴ `"f"(x)_(x = 4)` = = (4)2 – 8(4) + 17
= 16 – 32 + 17
= 33 – 32
= 1
So the minimum value of the function is 1.

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.
