Solution
Let two numbers be x and y then
x + y = 5 ...(i)
Let S = x3 + y3 ...(ii)
= x3 + (5 – x)3 ...[From (i)]
`(dS)/dx` = 3x2 + 3(5 – x)2 (– 1)
`(dS)/dx` = 3x2 – 3(25 + x2 – 10x)
= 3x2 – 75 – 3x2 + 30x
= 30x – 75
For maximum or minimum
`(dS)/dx` = 0
`\implies` 30x – 75 = 0
`\implies` x = `75/35 = 5/2`
When x = `5/2`, y = `5 - 5/2 = 5/2` ...[From (i)]
`(d^2S)/(dx^2)` = 30 which is +ve.
So the sum is least when x = `5/2` and y = `5/2`
S = x2 + y2
= `25/4 + 25/4`
= `50/4`
= `25/2`

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"`
