Question
Show that the height of a cylinder, which is open at the top, having a given surface area and greatest volume, is equal to the radius of its base.
Solution
Given a cylinder
S = 2πrh + πr2 .......(1)
V = πr2 h .......(2 )
From (1) S - πr2 = 2 πrh
`h = [(S -pir^2)/(2pir)] = S/(2pir) - r/2`
Put in (2)
`V = pir^2h = pir^2 [ S/(2pir) - r/2] = (Sr)/2 - (pir^3)/2`
Now diff on both sides by ‘r’
`(dv)/(dr) = S/2 - (3pir^2)/2`
For max/min `(dv)/(dr) = 0`
`S/2 - (3pir^2)/2 = 0 ⇒ S = 3pir^2` ........(3)
`(d^2 v)/(dr^2) = -3pir = -3 pi x sqrt(S/3pi) <0`
∴ By second derivative test it is maxima from (1) & (3)
`2pirh + pir^2 = 3pir^2`
`2pir h = 2 pir^2`
h = r

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"`
