1 Lesson Plan #26 Class: Intuitive Calculus Date: Wednesday November 10th, 2010 Topic: Optimization Problems Aim: How do we solve optimization problems? Objectives: 1) Students will be able to solve problems where they have to maximize or minimize a value. HW# 26: 1) The sum of one number and two times a second number is 24. What numbers should be selected so that their product is as large as possible? 2) The product of two positive numbers is 192. What numbers should be chosen so that the sum of the first plus three times the second is a minimum? Do Now: You run a small tutoring school. The graph at right represents the amount of profit you take in per week depending on the number of students you have. Based on the graph, approximately how many students should you take in to maximize your profit? With respect to the topics we have discussed, what do we call the x-coordinate at which this maximum value occurs? In general, what do we do to find this relative maximum? Procedure: Write the Aim and Do Now Get students working! Take attendance Give back work Go over the HW Collect HW Go over the Do Now Example: Find two positive numbers that minimize the sum of twice the first number plus the second if the product of the two numbers is 288. 2 Example: The difference between two numbers is 50. Find the two numbers so that their product is as small as possible Example: An open box is to be constructed from 108 square inches. What dimensions will produce the box with the maximum volume? Exercise: Find two positive numbers whose sum is 110 and whose product is a maximum Exercise: The sum of one positive number and twice a second positive number is 100. Find the two numbers so that their product is a maximum Exercise: A rectangle has a perimeter of 100 feet. What length and width should it have so that its area is maximum? 3 Note: Recall the definition of Definition of the Derivative of a Function: The derivative of a f at the derivative of a function: x is given by f ( x x) f ( x) x 0 x provided the limit exists f ' ( x) lim It is often extremely useful to evaluate a limit by recognizing that it is merely an expression for the definition of the derivative for a specific function. You can think of lim h0 f (c h) f (c ) as f ' (c ) h Evaluate: ( 2 h) 2 4 1) lim You should be able to recognize that the function is f ( x) x 4 and you have to find the h0 h value of the derivative at x 2 . f ' ( x) 4 x3 f ' (2) 4(2)3 32 9 h 3 h 2) lim h0 First, recognize the function. What is the function?______________ What is the derivative of the function? ___________ Now evaluate the derivative of the function at x 9 . What is f ' (9) ? _______________________ 1 1 3) lim 2 h 2 h0 h Ans.

A) 0 B) 2 C) 6 D) -2 E) None of the other choices 4) The slope of the curve y 3 xy2 4 at the point where y 2 is 1 1 1 A) -2 B) C) D) E) 2 4 2 2 5) A line is drawn through the point (1,2) forming a right triangle with the positive x- and y-axes. The slope of the line forming the triangle of least area is 1 A) -1 B) -2 C) -4 D) E) -3 2 6) The area of the largest isosceles triangle that can be drawn with one vertex at the origin and with the others on a line parallel to and above the x-axis and on the curve y 27 x 2 is A) 12 3 B) 27 C) 24 3 D) 54 E) 108
