PROBLEM 1:
Find the numbers whose sum is 640 and whose product is a large as possible
ANSWER
It sort of a trick problem. If your numbers are x and y it will become x+y=640
based on the problem and if you transpose y it will become y= 640-x
The product can be written as a function alone: as P of x equals x times the
quantity 640-x and if we multiple. It will become 640x-x^2
In a quadric function we will use –b/2a as you can see -1 is a and 640 is b then
if we use the formula it would be -640/2(-1) and we divide by each other the
answer would be 320
If we multiply x and y (320) (320) the answer will be 102400
So the number are 320 and 320 and they are the largest product.
For example is 310 and 330 if we add them it would be 640 and if we multiply
it would be 102300 as we can see this is not the largest numbers. So the
answer would be 320
Lets go to Geometry
An example of a problem is
Find the dimension of a rectangle with a perimeter of 144 cm that will produce
the maximum area.
Let x and y be the sides of the rectangle perimeter 2x+2y=144
So 2y is equal to 144 – 2x
Y equal 144-2x over 2 because we will find y if we divide them it will be
Y is equal 72-x
We all know that area is length times width
So we use x as the length and y for the width it will look like this
A=xy
If we transmute it would become x times the quantity 72-x and the answer
would be 72x-x^2
We will use the first derivative of 72x-x^2 it will become 72- 2x
Then we will transmute and it will be 2x=72 now we will divide both by two
Because we will removed the x. the answer will be 36
To find the y we will the use the formula of y that is 72-x and if we transmute it
would be 72-36 =36 so the coordinates/slope is (32,32)
Answer
Let p(x,y) 3x+2y=1
Y=(1-3x)/2 or ½ - (3/2)x
A buffet restaurant charges 200 pesos per person for a group of 60. But for
each person in excess of 60, the charge for every person reduced by 2 pesos.
What number of persons in a group leads to maximum revenue for the
restaurant?
MISCELLANEOUS PROBLEMS:
A truck is 300 km due east of a car and is traveling west at the constant speed
of 30 kph. Meanwhile, the car is going north at the constant speed of 60 kph.
At what time will the car and the truck be closest to each other?(hint: you will
simplify the calculation if you minimize the square of the distance between the
car and the truck rather than the distance itself.)
