Solution
The curves y = 4x2 + 2x – 8 and y = x3 – x + 13 touch each other at the point `(- 1/3, (-74)/9)`.
Explanation:
We have y = 4x2 + 2x – 8 .....(i)
And y = x3 – x + 13 .....(ii)
Differentiating eq. (i) w.r.t. x, we have
`"dy"/'dx"` = 8x + 2
⇒ m1 = 8x + 2 .....[m is the slope of curve (i)]
Differentiating eq. (ii) w.r.t. x, we get
`"dy"/"dx"` = 3x2 – 1
⇒ m2 = 3x2 – 1 ......[m2 is the slope of curve (ii)]
If the two curves touch each other, then m1 = m2
∴ 8x + 2 = 3x2 – 1
⇒ 3x2 – 8x – 3 = 0
⇒ 3x2 – 9x + x – 3 = 0
⇒ 3x(x – 3) + 1(x – 3) = 0
⇒ (x – 3)(3x + 1) = 0
∴ x = 3, `(-1)/3`
Putting x = 3 in equation (i), we get
y = 4(3)2 + 2(3) – 8
= 36 + 6 – 8
= 34
So, the required point is (3, 34)
Now for x = `- 1/3`
y = `4((-1)/3)^2 + 2((-1)/3) - 8`
= `4 xx 1/9 - 2/3 - 8`
= `4/9 - 2/3 - 8`
= `(4 - 6 - 72)/9`
= `(-74)/9`
∴ Other required point is `(- 1/3, (-74)/9)`.

A metal wire of 36 cm long is bent to form a rectangle. Find its dimensions when its area is maximum.
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"`
