Solution
Maximum slope of the curve y = –x3 + 3x2 + 9x – 27 is 12.
Explanation:
Given that y = –x3 + 3x2 + 9x – 27
`"dy"/'dx"` = – 3x2 + 6x + 9
∴ Slope of the given curve,
m = – 3x2 + 6x + 9 ....`("dy"/"dx" = "m")`
`"dm"/"dx"` = –6x + 6
For local maxima and local minima, `"dm"/"dx"` = 0
∴ – 6x + 6 = 0
⇒ x = 1
Now `("d"^2"m")/("dx"^2)` = = – 6 < 0 maxima
∴ Maximum value of the slope at x = 1 is
`"m"_(x = 1)` = – 3(1)2 + 6(1) + 9
= – 3 + 6 + 9
= 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.
