Question
Find two positive numbers x and y such that their sum is 35 and the product x2y5 is a maximum.
Solution
Let the number be x and y and let p = x2y2 and
x + y = 35 ... (i)
⇒ p = (35 - y)2y2 ... [from (i)]
Now, `(dp)/dy = (35 - y)^2 (5y^4) + y^5 xx 2 (35 - y) (-1)`
y4 (35 - y) {5 (35 - y) - 2y}
= y4 (35 - y) (175 - 7y)
For maximum p, let `(dp)/dy = 0`
⇒ y4 (35 - y) (175 - 7y) = 0
⇒ 175 - 7y = 0 ...(∵ 0 < y < 35)
⇒ y = 25
Now,
`((d^2p)/dy^2) = 4 (35 - y) (175 - 7y)y^3 + y^4 (-1) (175 - 7y) + y^4 (35 - y) (-7)`
⇒ `((d^2p)/dy^2)_(y = 25) < 0`
and p has a maximum value at y = 25
∴ The required numbers are x = 35 - 25 = 10 and y = 25
