Solution
The function f(x) = 2x3 – 3x2 – 12x + 4, has one maxima and one minima.
Explanation:
We have f(x) = 2x3 – 3x2 – 12x + 4
f'(x) = 6x2 – 6x – 12
For local maxima and local minima f'(x) = 0
∴ 6x2 – 6x – 12 = 0
⇒ x2 – x – 2 = 0
⇒ x2 – 2x + x – 2 = 0
⇒ x(x – 2) + 1(x – 2) = 0
⇒ (x + 1)(x – 2) = 0
x = –1, 2 are the points of local maxima and local minima
Now f'(x) = 12x – 6
`"f''"(x)_(x = -1)` = 12(–1) – 6
= – 12 – 6
= – 18 < 0, maxima
`"f''"(x)_(x = 2)` = 12(2) – 6
= 24 – 6
= 18 > 0 minima
So, the function is maximum at x = –1 and minimum at x = 2

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.
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"`
