2. Using first derivative test find the local extrema points

a) f(x) = x3/3+x2/2-6x
f(x)= x2+x-6
f(x)=(x+3)(x-2)
the extrema points are the values of x that make f(x)=0
f(x)=0 if (x+3)=0 or (x-2)=0
so the extrema points are : -3 and 2
b) f(x)= x4/4+x3/3-5x2/2+3x
f(x)= x3+x2-5x+3
f(x)=(x2+2x-3)(x-1)
f(x)=(x+3)(x-1)(x-1)=(x+3)(x-1)2
so the extrema points are the values of x where: x+3=0 or x-1=0
x=-3 and x=1 are the extrema points
c) f(x)=2-|x|
f(x)= -x\|x|
here for f(x)=0 x must be equal to zero (0) but the equation f(x) is not defined for
the value of x=0 so there will be no extrema points

4. Find critical points if any

a) f(x)=x2+4/x2
f(x)=2x-8x3
f(x)=(2x4-8)/x3
here f(x)=0 where 2x4-8=0; x4-4=0
x4=4
x=2 1/2
b) f(x)=(x-1)/x2
f(x)=[x2 (x-1)2x]/x4
f(x)= [-x2+2x]/x4
f(x) = [2x(x-1)]/x4
here for f(x)=0
-2x(x-1)=0
and x must not be equal to 0 hence the equation is not defined for x=0\
x-1= 0 the critical point for this equation is x=1
c) f(x)=x 6/5-12x 1/5
f(x)= (6/5)x 6/5-1-12(1/5)x 1/5-1
f(x)= (6/5)x 1/5- (12/5)x -4/5
to solve for the values of x that would make f(x)=0 let y=x 1/5
here f(y)=(6/5)y-(12/5y4)
f(y)= (6y5-12)/5y4
f(y)=0 where 6y5-12=0
y5=2
from the above replacement we have y= x 1/5 so y5 =x
and the critical point in this case will be at
x=2
d) f(x)=x/(x2-9)
f(x)=(x2-9)-2x2/(x2-9)2
f(x)= -(x2+9)/(x2-9)2
here f(x)=0 if x2+9=0
x2+9 =0
x2=-9 which is not defined for every real number so the function
f(x)=x/(x2-9) have no critical point

6. Find the absolute extremum of f on the given intervals (if any)

a) f(x)=x2, (-3,2]
f(x)=2x , f(x)=0 when x=0
the absolute extremum in this case will be at x = 0, or x=2
f(0)=0
f(2)= 4
f(-3)=9
so for the given range i.e. (-3,2] we have one extremum point at x=0
that is an absolute minimum value on the defined range
b) f(x)=x3+2x2-4x+1, (-3,2)
f(x)= 3x2+4x-4
f(x)= 3(x+2)(x-2/3)
f(x)=0 when x=-2 or x=2/3
the absolute extremum in this case will be at x = -2, or x=2/3
f(-3)= 4
f(-2)=9
f(2/3)= 1/9
f(2)= 9
here the given range doesnt include -3 on the left and 2 on the right and we have two
absolute extremum points on the range
Absolute minimum at x=2/3
Absolute maximum at x=-2

8. A farmer plans to fence off three rectangular grazing fields along a straight river by
erecting one fence parallel to the river and four fences perpendicular to the river. If the
total area of the three plots is to be 6400sqrmet, what length of fence parallel to the river
to maximize the total length of fence required.

Let
Aarea of the total plot A=6400sqrm
L1 length of the parallel fence
L2 length of the vertical fence
Ltot The total length of the fence
A=L1*L2 =6400
L1=6400/L2
Ltot=L1+4L2
Ltot=L1+4(6400/L1)
So here we have expressed the total length of the fence as a function of the parallel
length of the fence let L1 be represented by x and the total length Ltot by the function
f(x)
f(x)=x+(25600/x)
f(x)= 1 (25600/x2)
f(x) = (x2 25600)/x2

to find the optimal length of the horizontal/parallel length of the fence in order that
the total length of the fence will be as minimum as possible we have to find the value of x
that would make the equation f(x)=0

f(x)=0 if x2-25600=0

x2 = 25600 =160 hence we are talking about length it must be positive

x = 160 meters
the horizontal/parallel length of the fence must be 160 meters

12. Refer to question 11 maximum sum area
Answer:
Let A1 be area of the equilateral triangle
A2 be area of the square
L1 length of the piece used for the triangle
L2 length of the piece used for the triangle
Ltot the total length of the wire  Ltot =L1+L2=10m
Asum the sum of the area of the triangle and the square  Asum=A1+A2

Area of equilateral triangle

 5.65

the maximum possible some area will be @ x=0; x=5.65or at x=10m

to check for this we will have to evaluate the values of f(x) at this three
points
f(0) = 6.25 sqrm
f(5.65) = 2.72 sqrm
f(10)= 4.81 sqrm
so we will get the maximum area with only the whole wire is used only for
the square

The find the value of x for the isosceles triangle to have maximum area we have to solve for the value of
z that makes A(x)=0
48 8 = 0
=6

The biggest area we can have is

() = (8 )4 16

(6) = (2)8

(6) = 42 sqrinch

And the sides of the triangle are

Base = 4inches
The two equivalent sides = 6 inches each
