Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
f(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 12x – 16 ∴ f'(x) = (x3 – 6x2 + 12x – 16) = 3x2 – 6 × 2x + 12 × 1 – 0 = 3x2 – 12x + 12 = 3(x2 – 4x + 4) = 3(x – 2)2 ≥ 0 for all x ∈ R ∴ f(x) ≥ 0 for all x ∈ R ∴ f is increasing for all x ∈ R.
(ii) f(x) = 2 – 3x + 3x2– x3, x ∈ R.
Solution:
f(x) = 2 – 3x + 3x2– x3
∴ f'(x) = (2 – 3x + 3x2– x3)
= 0 – 3 × 1 + 3 × 2x – 3x2
= -3 + 6x – 3x2
= -3(x2– 2x + 1)
= -3(x – 1)2≤ 0 for all x ∈ R

Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
f(x) = x – cos x ∴ f'(x) = (x – cos x) = 1 – (-sin x) = 1 + sin x Now, -1 ≤ sin x ≤ 1 for all x ∈ R ∴ -1 + 1 ≤ 1 + sin x ≤ 1 for all x ∈ R ∴ 0 ≤ f'(x) ≤ 1 for all x ∈ R ∴ f'(x) ≥ 0 for all x ∈ R ∴ f is increasing for all x.
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:







(ii) f(x) = 2x3– 21x2+ 36x – 20
Solution:
f(x) = 2x3– 21x2+ 36x – 20
∴ f'(x) = (2x3– 21x2+ 36x – 20)
= 2 × 3x2– 21 × 2x + 36 × 1 – 0
= 6x2– 42x + 36
and f”(x) = (6x2– 42x + 36)
= 6 × 2x – 42 × 1 + 0
= 12x – 42
f'(x) = 0 gives 6x2– 42x + 36 = 0
∴ x2– 7x + 6 = 0
∴ (x – 1)(x – 6) = 0
the roots of f'(x) = 0 are x1= 1 and x2= 6.
Method 1 (Second Derivative Test):
(a) f”(1) = 12(1) – 42 = -30 < 0
∴ by the second derivative test, f has maximum at x = 1
and maximum value of f at x = 1
f(1) = 2(1)3– 21(1)2+ 36(1) – 20
= 2 – 21 + 36 – 20
= -3
(b) f”(6) = 12(6) – 42 = 30 > 0
∴ by the second derivative test, f has minimum at x = 6
and minimum value of f at x = 6
f(6) = 2(6)3– 21(6)2+ 36(6) – 20
= 432 – 756 + 216 – 20
= -128.
Hence, the function f has maximum value -3 at x = 1 and minimum value -128 at x = 6.
Method 2 (First Derivative Test):
(a) f'(x) = 6(x – 1)(x – 6)
Consider x = 1
Let h be a small positive number. Then
f'(1 – h) = 6(1 – h – 1)(1 – h – 6)
= 6(-h)(-5 – h)
= 6h(5 + h)> 0
and f'(1 + h) = 6(1 + h – 1)(1 + h – 6)
= 6h(h – 5) < 0, as h is small positive number.
∴ by the first derivative test, f has maximum at x = 1 and maximum value of f at x = 1
f(1) = 2(1)3– 21(1)2+ 36(1) – 20
= 2 – 21 + 36 – 20
= -3
(b) f'(x) = 6(x – 1)(x – 6)
Consider x = 6
Let h be a small positive number. Then
f'(6 – h) = 6(6 – h – 1)(6 – h – 6)
= 6(5 – h)(-h)
= -6h(5 – h) < 0, as h is small positive number
and f'(6 + h) = 6(6 + h – 1)(6 + h – 6) = 6(5 + h)(h) > 0
∴ by the first derivative test, f has minimum at x = 6
and minimum value of f at x = 6
f(6) = 2(6)3– 21(6)2+ 36(6) – 20
= 432 – 756 + 216 – 20
= -128
Hence, the function f has maximum value -3 at x = 1
and minimum value -128 at x = 6.
(iii) f(x) = x3– 9x2+ 24x
Solution:
f(x) = x3– 9x2+ 24x
∴ f'(x) = (x3– 9x2+ 24x)
= 3x2– 9 × 2x + 24 × 1
= 3x2– 18x + 24
and f”(x) = (3x2– 18x + 24)
= 3 × 2x – 18 × 1 + 0
= 6x – 18
f'(x) = 0 gives 3x2– 18x + 24 = 0
∴ x2– 6x + 8 = 0
∴ (x – 2)(x – 4) = 0
∴ the roots of f'(x) = 0 are x1= 2 and x2= 4.
(a) f”(2) = 6(2) – 18 = -6 < 0
∴ by the second derivative test, f has maximum at x = 2
and maximum value of f at x = 2
f(2) = (2)3– 9(2)2+ 24(2)
= 8 – 36 + 48
= 20
(b) f”(4) = 6(4) – 18 = 6 > 0
∴ by the second derivative test, f has minimum at x = 4
and minimum value of f at x = 4
f(4) = (4)3– 9(4)2+ 24(4)
= 64 – 144 + 96
= 16
Hence, the function f has maximum value 20 at x = 2 and minimum value 16 at x = 4.
(iv) f(x) = x2+

(v) f(x) = x log x

Let the first part of 30 be x. Then the second part is 30 – x. ∴ their product = x(30 – x) = 30x – x2 = f(x) ……(Say) ∴ f'(x) = (30x – x2) = 30 × 1 – 2x = 30 – 2x and f”(x) = (30 – 2x) = 0 – 2 × 1 = -2 The root of the equation f(x) = 0, i.e. 30 – 2x = 0 is x = 15 and f”(15) = -2 < 0 ∴ by the second derivative test, f is maximum at x = 15. Hence, the required parts of 30 are 15 and 15.
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
Let the first part of 20 be x. Then the second part is 20 – x. ∴ sum of their squares = x2 + (20 – x)2 = f(x) …… (Say) ∴ f'(x) = [x2 + (20 – x)2] = 2x + 2(20 – x). (20 – x) = 2x + 2(20 – x) × (0 – 1) = 2x – 40 + 2x = 4x – 40 and f”(x) = (4x – 40) = 4 × 1 – 0 = 4 The root of the equation f'(x) = 0, i.e. 4x – 40 = 0 is x = 10 and f”(10) = 4 > 0 ∴ by the second derivative test, f is minimum at x = 10. Hence, the required parts of 20 are 10 and 10.

When x = 9, y = 18 – 9 = 9 ∴ x = 9 cm, y = 9 cm ∴ the rectangle is a square of side 9 metres.

Let ABC be the triangle such that the side BC = a = 4 cm. Also, the perimeter of the triangle is 10 cm. i.e. a + b + c = 10 ∴ 2s = 10 ∴ s = 5 Also, 4 + b + c = 10 ∴ b + c = 6 ∴ b = 6 – c Let ∆ be the area of the triangle. ∴ by the second derivative test, ∆ is maximum when c = 3. When c = 3, b = 6 – c = 6 – 3 = 3 Hence, the area of the triangle is maximum when the other two sides are 3 cm and 3 cm.

Profit function P (x) is given by P(x) = (150 – x)x – 1625 = 150x – x2 -1625 ∴ P'(x) = (150x – x2 – 1625) = 150 × 1 – 2x – 0 = 150 – 2x and P”(x) = (150 – 2x) = 0 – 2 × 1 = -2 Now, P'(x) = 0 gives, 150 – 2x = 0 ∴ x = 75 and P”(75) = -2 < 0 ∴ by the second derivative test, P(x) is maximum when x = 75 Maximum profit = P(75) = (150 – 75)75 – 1625 = 75 × 75 – 1625 = 4000 Hence, the profit will be maximum, if the manufacturer manufactures 75 items and the maximum profit is 4000.

Let the two numbers be x and y. Then x + y = 15 ∴ y = 15 – x Let P is the product of square of y and cube of x. Then P = x3y2 = x3(15 – x)2 = x3(225 – 30x + x2) = x5 – 30x4 + 225x3 ∴ = (x5 – 30x4 + 225x3) = 5x4 – 30 × 4x3 + 225 × 3x2 = 5x4 – 120x3 + 675x2 and = (5x4 – 120x3 + 675x2) = 5 × 4x3 – 120 × 3x2 + 675 × 2x = 20x3 – 360x2 + 1350x = 10x(2x2 – 36x + 135) Now, = 0 gives 5x4 – 120x3 + 675x2 = 0 ∴ 5x2(x2 – 24x +135) = 0 ∴ 5x2(x2 – 15x – 9x + 135) = 0 ∴ 5x2[x(x – 15) – 9(x – 35)] = 0 ∴ 5x2(x – 15)(x – 9) = 0 ∴ the roots of = 0 are x1 = 0, x2 = 15 and x3 = 9 If x = 0, then y = 15 – 0 = 15 If x = 15, then y = 15 – 15 = 0 In both cases, product x3y2 is zero, which is not maximum. ∴ x ≠ 0 and x ≠ 15 ∴ x = 6 Now, = 10(6)[2(6)2 – 36 × 6 + 135] = 60[72 – 216 + 135] = 60(-9) = -540 < 0 ∴ P is maximum when x = 6 If x = 6, then y = 15 – 6 = 9 Hence, the required numbers are 6 and 9.
