प्रश्न
A metal wire of 36cm long is bent to form a rectangle. Find it's dimensions when it's area is maximum.
उत्तर
Let the length and breadth of a rectangle be l and b.
∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (l + b) = 36cm
∴ l + b = 18 ....(i)
Area of rectangle = l × b = l (18 - l)
Let f(l) = 18l - l2
∴ f'(l) = 18 - 2l
and f''(l) = - 2
Consider, f '(l) = 0
∴ 18 - 2l = 0
∴ 18 = 2l
∴ l = 9
For l = 9,
f''(9) = - 2 < 0
∴ f(x), i.e. area is maximum when l = 9 cm
and b = 18 - 9 ....[From (i)]
= 9 cm

By completing the following activity, examine the function f(x) = x3 – 9x2 + 24x for maxima and minima
Solution: f(x) = x3 – 9x2 + 24x
∴ f'(x) = `square`
∴ f''(x) = `square`
For extreme values, f'(x) = 0, we get
x = `square` or `square`
∴ f''`(square)` = – 6 < 0
∴ f(x) is maximum at x = 2.
∴ Maximum value = `square`
∴ f''`(square)` = 6 > 0
∴ f(x) is maximum at x = 4.
∴ Minimum value = `square`
