A poster of area 11,760 cm2 has blank margins of width 10 cm on the top and bottom and 6 cm on the sides. Find the dimensions that maximize the printed area. (Let w be the width of the poster, and let h be the height.)

Respuesta :

 

w=width of the poster.
h=hegith of the poster.

Area of the poster =wh
Then:  wh=11760    ⇒w=(11760/h)

let:
P(w,h)=printed area
P(w,h)=(w-12)(h-20)
P(h)=(11760/h -12)(h-20)

We have a problem of maximums and minimums.

1) we compute the first derivative of this function:
P(h)=(11760/h -12)(h-20)
P´(h)=(-11760/h²)(h-20)+(11760/h-12)=
(-11760h+235200)/h²+(11760-12h)/h=
(-11760h+235200+11760h-12h²)/h²=
(235200-12h²)/h²

Therefore:
P´(h)=(235200-12h²)/h²

2) we find the values of "h" when P(h)=0.
h≠0
(235200-12h²)/h²=0
(235200-12h²)=0(h²)
235200-12h²=0
-12h²=-235200
h²=-235200/-12
h²=19600
h=√19600
h=140

3) we have to find the second derivative.
P´(h)=(235200-12h²)/h²
P´´(h)=[-24h(h²)-2h(235200-12h²)] / h⁴
P´´(h)=[-24h²-2(235200-12h²)]/h³
P´´(h)=(-24 h²-470400+24h²)/h³
P´´(h)=-470400 / h³

P´´(140)=-470400/(140³)<0, therefore we have a maximum at h=140.

4) we find out the width
w=(11760/h)
w=11760/140
w=84

Answer: the dimensions that maximize the prited area would be:
 84 x 140 (cm);


The optimizing function of the printed area is [tex]{P = (w-12) \times (h-20)}[/tex], while dimensions that maximize the printed area is 84 by 140 cm

Let the dimension of the poster be w and h, where:

  • w represents the width.
  • h represents the height.

So, the area of the poster is:

[tex]Area = hw[/tex]

The area is given as 11760.

So, we have:

[tex]hw = 11760[/tex]

Make w the subject

[tex]w = \frac{11760}h[/tex]

When 10cm is removed from the height, and 6cm from the width.

The printed area (P) becomes

[tex]{P = (w-12) \times (h-20)}[/tex]

Recall that: [tex]w = \frac{11760}h}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P = (\frac{11760}{h}-12) \times (h-20)}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]P = 11760 - \frac{235200}{h} - 12h + 240}[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]P' = 0+ \frac{235200}{h^2} - 12 + 0}[/tex]

[tex]P' = \frac{235200}{h^2} - 12}[/tex]

Set to 0

[tex]\frac{235200}{h^2} - 12 = 0}[/tex]

Add 12 to both sides

[tex]\frac{235200}{h^2} = 12}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by h^2

[tex]235200 = 12h^2}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 12

[tex]19600 = h^2}[/tex]

Take square roots of both sides

[tex]{140 = h}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]{h =140 }[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]w = \frac{11760}h}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]w = \frac{11760}{140}}[/tex]

[tex]w = 84}[/tex]

Hence, the dimensions that maximize the printed area is 84 by 140 cm
