Question
Find the local maxima and local minima, if any, of the following function. Find also the local maximum and the local minimum values, as the case may be:
f(x) = x2
Solution
Given function f(x) = x2
⇒ f'(x) = 2x
For maximum/minimum or critical points,
If f'(x) = 0 then 2x = 0 or x = 0
f'(x) changes sign from negative to positive as it passes through x = 0.
∴ f has local minimum at x = 0.
Local minimum = f(0) = 0

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"`
