Find the marginal cost when 17 units are produced.

Answer:

Marginal cost is the rate of change of total cost with respect to output.
Now C (x) = 0·007 x3 – 0·003 x2 + 15x + 4000.

= (0·007) (3x2) – 0·003 (2x) + 15
When x = 17, MC = (0·007) (3(17)2) – 0·003 (2 (17)) + 15
= 6·069 – 0·102 + 15 = 20·967.

i.e. if x2 + 3x + 2 < 0
i.e. if (x + 2) (x + 1) < 0
i.e. (x – (– 2)) (x – (– 1) < 0
i.e. if – 2 < x < – 1.
Hence, ‘f’ is srictly increasing in (– 2, – 1).
(II) For f (x) to be strictly decreasing function of x,
f′ (x) < 0
i.e. if – 6x2 – 18x – 12 < 0
i.e. if x2 + 3x + 2 > 0

f′ (x) = (x + 1)3 . 3(x – 3)2 + 3 (x + 1)2 (x – 3)3
= 3 (x + 1)2 (x – 3)2 [(x + 1) + (x – 3)]
= 3 (x + 1)2 (x – 3)2 (2x – 2)
= 6 (x + 1)2 (x – 3)2 (x – 1).
(I) For f (x) to be strictly increasing function of x,
f ′ (x) > 0
i.e.if 6 (x + 1)2 (x – 3)2 (x – 1) > 0
i.e.if x – 1 > 0 [ 6 (x + 1)2 (x – 3)2 > 0]
i.e.if x > 1.
But f′ (x) = 0 at x = 3.

i.e.if x – 1 < 0 [ 6 (x + 1)2 (x – 3)2 > 0]
i.e. if x < 1.
But f′ (x) = 0 at x = – 1.

x2 – 2x – 3= 0
(x – 3) (x + 1) = 0
x = – 1, 3.
When x = – 1, then from (1),
y = – 1 – 3 + 9 + 7 = 12.
When x = 3, then from (1),
y = 27 – 27 – 27 + 7 = – 20.
Hence, the reqd. points are (– 1, 12) and (3, – 20).

x2 = 4 x = ± 2.
When x = 2, then from (1),
y = 8 – 22 + 5 = – 9.
When x = – 2, then from (1),

Since the tangent is parallel to the given line,
2 (x – 1) = 2 [ m1 = m2 ]
2x = 4 x = 2.
Putting in (1),y = 4 – 4 + 7 = 7.
The equation of the tangent at (2, 7) parallel to
2x – y + 9 = 0 is :
y – 7 = 2 (x – 2) 2x – y + 3 = 0
y – 2x – 3 = 0.

x1 = 0, x1 = ± 1.
When x1 = 0, then from (2),
y1 = 0.
When x1 = 1, then from (2),
y1 = (1) – 2 (1) = 2.
When x1 = – 1, then from (2),
y1 = 4 (– 1)3 – 2 (– 1)5
= – 4 + 2 = – 2.
Hence, the reqd. points are (0, 0), (1, 2) and (– 1, – 2).

Answer:

The given curve is :
y = x3 + 2x + 6 ...(1)

When x = 2, then from (1),
y = 8 + 4 + 6 = 18.
When x = – 2, then from (1),
y = – 8 – 4 + 6 = – 6.
Thus the co-ordinates of the points are (2, 18) and (– 2, – 6).
The equations of the normals are :

14y – 252 = – x + 2 and 14y + 8y = – x – 2

Question 97:

Find the approximate value of f (2·01), where :
f (x) = 4x2 + 5x + 2.

Answer:

Let x = 2 and x = 0·01 ...(1)
Then f (2·01) = f (x + x)
= 4 (x + x)2 + 5 (x + x) + 2.
Now y = f (x + x) – f (x)
f (x + x) = f (x) + y
= f (x) + f′ (x) x [ dx = x]
f (2·01) = (4x2 + 5x + 2) + (8x + 5) x
= (4 (2)2 + 5 (2) + 2) + (8 (2) + 5) (0·01)
[Using (1)]
= (16 + 10 + 2) + (16 + 5) (0·01)
= 28 + 0·21 = 28·21.
Hence, approximate value of f (2·01) = 28·21.

Question 98:

Find the approximate value of f (5·001), where :
f (x) = x3 – 7x2 + 15.

Answer:

We have : f (x) = x3 – 7x2 + 15.
f′ (x) = 3x2 – 14x.
Now f (x + x) = f(x) + x f′ (x)
= (x3 – 7x2 + 15) + x (3x2 – 14x).
Taking x = 5 and x = 0·001, we get :
f (5·001) = (5)3 – 7 (5)2 + 15) + (0·001) (3 (5)2 – 14 (5))
= (125 – 175 + 15) + (0·001) (75 –70)
= – 35 + (0·001) (5)
= – 35 + 0·005 = – 34·995.

Max. value of | sin 4x + 3 | = | 1 + 3 | = | 4 | = 4.
Min. value of sin 4x= – 1
Min. value of | sin 4x + 3 | = | – 1 + 3 | = | 2 | = 2.

Question 114:

h (x) = x + 1, x (– 1, 1).

Answer:

We have :h (x) = x + 1.
As x , h (x) .
As x , h (x) .
Thus there is no max. and min. value.
However, when x = 1, h (x) = 2
when x = – 1, h (x) = 0.
Hence, max. value is 2 and min. value is 0.

Question 115:

Find the local maxima and local minima, if any, of the following functions. Find also the local maximum and the local minimum value, as the case may be :
f (x) = x2

Answer:

We have : f (x) = x2.
f′ (x) = 2x, f ″ (x) = 2.
Now f′ (x) = 0 2x = 0 x = 0.
And f″ (0) = 2 (+ ve)
Hence, local minimum value at x = 0,
local min. value = f(0) = 0.

Question 116:

g (x) = x3 – 3x

Answer:

We have : g (x) = x3 – 3x.
g′ (x) = 3x2 – 3, g″ (x) = 6x.
Now g′ (x)= 0 3x2 – 3 = 0 x2 = 1
x = ± 1.
And g″ (1) = 6 (1) = 6 ( + ve) and
g″ (– 1) = 6 (– 1) = – 6 ( – ve)
Hence, local minimum value is, at x = 1, local min. value =
g (1) = 1 – 3 (1) = – 2.
Local maximum value is, at x = – 1, local max. value
= g (– 1) = (– 1)3 – 3 (– 1) = – 1 + 3 = 2.

We have : f(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 9x + 15.
f′ (x) = 3x2 – 12x + 9
and f ″ (x) = 6x – 12.
Now f ′ (x) = 0 3x2 – 12x + 9 = 0
x2 – 4x + 3 = 0
(x – 1) (x – 3) = 0 x = 1, 3.
And f ″ (1) = 6 (1) – 12 = – 6 (– ve),
f ″ (3) = 18 – 12 = 6 (+ ve)
Hence, local max. is at x = 1, local max. value
= 1 – 6 + 9 + 15 = 19.
Local min is at x = 3, local min. value
= 27 – 6 (9) + 9 (3) + 15

f (x) = x3 + x2 + x + 1.

Answer:

We have : f (x) = x3 + x2 + x + 1.
f′ (x) = 3x2 + 2x + 1.
Now f′ (x) = 0
3x2 + 2x + 1 = 0

which are non-real.
Hence, f (x) does not have maximum and minimum values.

Question 126:

f′ (x) = 3x2.
For extreme values,
f′ (x) = 0 3x2 = 0
x = 0 [– 2, 2].
Now f (– 2) = (– 2)3 = – 8
f (0) = (0)3 = 0
and f (2) = 23 = 8.
Hence, absolute max. value is 8,which is attained at x = 2
and absolute min. value is – 8, which is attained at
x = – 2.

f (x) = (x – 1)2 + 3, x [– 3, 1].

Answer:

We have :
f (x) = (x – 1)2 + 3, x [– 3, 1].
f′ (x) = 2 (x – 1).
For extreme values, f ′ (x) = 0
2 (x – 1) = 0
x – 1 = 0 x = 1 [– 3, 1].
Now f (– 3) = (– 4)2 + 3 = 16 + 3 = 19
and f (1) = (0)2 + 3 = 0 + 3 = 3.
Hence, absolute max. value is 19, which is attained at x = – 3.
and absolute min. value is 3, which is attained at x = 1.

Answer:

We have :
f (x) = 3x4 – 8x3 + 12x2 – 48x + 25.
f′ (x) = 12x3 – 24x2 + 24x – 48.
Now f′ (x) = 0
12x3 – 24x2 + 24x – 48 = 0
x3 – 2x2 + 2x – 4 = 0
x2 (x – 2) + 2 (x – 2) = 0
(x2 + 2) (x – 2) = 0
x = 2.
f (0) = 25
f (2) = 3 (16) – 8 (8) + 12 (4) – 48 (2) + 25
= 48 – 64 + 48 – 96 + 25
= 121 – 160 = – 39.
f (3) = 3 (81) – 8 (27) + 12 (9) – 48 (3) + 25
= 243 – 216 + 108 – 144 + 25
= 376 – 360 = 16.
Hence, max. value is 25 and min value is – 39.

Question 132:

Answer:

We have :
f (x) = sin 2x, 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π
so that f′ (x) = 2 cos 2x, 0 < x < 2π.

cos x – sin x= 0
sin x = cos x tan x = 1

Question 134:

Find the maximum value of 2x3 – 24x + 107 in the interval [1, 3]. Find the maximum value of the same function in [– 3, – 1].

Answer:

We have :
f (x) = 2x3 – 24x + 107, x [1, 3].
f′ (x) = 6x2 – 24.
(i) For extreme values, f′ (x) = 0
6x2 – 24 = 0
x2 = 4 x = ± 2
x = 2 [1, 3].
Now f (1) = 2 (1) – 24 (1) + 107
= 2 – 24 + 107 = 85
f (2) = 2 (8) – 24 (2) + 107
= 16 – 48 + 107 = 75
and f (3) = 2 (27) – 24 (3) + 107
= 54 – 72 + 107 = 89.
Hence, max. value = 89, which is attained at x = 3.
(ii) We have :
f (x) = 2x3 – 24x + 107,x [– 3, – 1].
f′ (x) = 6x2 – 24.
For extreme values,
f ′ (x) = 0
6x2 – 24 = 0 x2 – 4 = 0 x2 = 4
x = ± 2 x = – 2 [– 3, – 1].
Now f (– 3) = 2 (– 27) – 24 (– 3) + 107
= – 54 + 72 + 107 = 125
f (– 2) = 2 (– 8) – 24 (– 2) + 107
= – 16 + 48 + 107 = 139
f (– 1) = 2 (– 1) – 24 (– 1) + 107
= – 2 + 24 + 107 = 129.
Hence, max. value = 139,
which is attained at x = – 2.

Question 135:

It is given that at x = 1, the function x4 – 62x2 + ax + 9 attains its maximum value in the interval [0, 2]. Find the value of ‘a’.

Answer:

We have : f (x) = x4 – 62x2 + ax + 9.
f′ (x) = 4x3 – 124x + a
and f″ (x) = 12x2 – 124.
Now f′ (1) = 0 [Given]
4 (1) – 124 (1) + a = 0
a = 120.
Now f ″(1) = 12 (1) – 124 = – 112 < 0.
Thus f (x) attains its maximum value at x = 1, where a = 120.
Hence, a = 120.

Question 136:

Find the maximum and minimum values of :
x + sin 2x on [0, 2π].

Question 141:

A square piece of tin of side 18 cm is to be made into a box without top by cutting a square from each corner and folding up the flaps to form a box. What should be the side of the square to be cut off so that the volume of the box is maximum ?

Answer:

Let ‘x’ cm, be the side of the square cut from each corner.

Length of the resulting box = 18 – 2x ;
Breadth of the resulting box = 18 – 2x ;
Height of the resulting box = x.
Volume = (18 – 2x)2. x
Let V (x) = x (18 – 2x)2.
V′ (x) = x.2 (18 – 2x) (– 2) + (18 – 2x)2 (1)
= (18 – 2x) [– 4x + 18 – 2x]
= (18 – 2x) (18 – 6x).
For max./min. volume, V′ (x) = 0
(18 – 2x) (18 – 6x) = 0
x = 9 or x = 3.
But x = 9 is impossible.
[ The whole of thin sheet will be cut off]
Thus x = 3.
Now V″ (x) = (18 – 2x) (– 6) + (18 – 6x) (– 2)
= – 108 + 12x – 36 + 12x
= 24x – 144.
V″ (x = 3) = 24 (3) – 144
= 72 – 144 = – 72,
which is – ve.
V (x) is max. when x = 3.
Hence, the length of the side of the square cut off from each corner = 3 cm.

Question 142:

A rectangular sheet of tin 45 cm by 24 cm is to be made into a box without top, by cutting off square from each corner and folding up the flaps. What should be the side of the square to be cut off so that the volume of the box is maximum ?

Answer:

Let ‘x’ cm. be the side of the square cut off from each corner.
Length of the resulting box = 45 – 2x.

Breadth of the resulting box = 24 – 2x.
Height of the resulting box = x.
Volume, V = (45 – 2x) (24 – 2x) x
= 2x (45 – 2x) (12 – x).
V (x) = 2 (2x3 – 69x2 + 540x).
V′ (x) = 2 (6x2 – 138x + 540)
= 12 (x2 – 23x + 90).
For max. / min., V′= 0
12 (x2 – 23x + 90) = 0
(x – 5) (x – 18) = 0
x = 5, 18.
But x =18 is impossible.
x = 5.
Also V″ (x) = 12 (2x – 23).
V″ (5) = 12 (10 – 23)
= (12) (– 13) = – 156 < 0
Thus x = 5 for max. value.
Hence, length of the side of the square cut off for each corner is 5 cm.

Question 143:

Show that of all rectangles inscribed in a given fixed circle the square has the maximum area.

Answer:
