<u>Optimizing With Derivatives </u>

The procedure to optimize a function (find its maximum or minimum) consists in :

Produce a function which depends on only one variable
Compute the first derivative and set it equal to 0
Find the values for the variable, called critical points
Compute the second derivative
Evaluate the second derivative in the critical points. If it results positive, the critical point is a minimum, if it's negative, the critical point is a maximum

We know a cylinder has a volume of 4 $ft^3$ . The volume of a cylinder is given by

$\displaystyle V=\pi r^2h$

Equating it to 4

$\displaystyle \pi r^2h=4$

Let's solve for h

$\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{\pi r^2}$

A cylinder with an open-top has only one circle as the shape of the lid and has a lateral area computed as a rectangle of height h and base equal to the length of a circle. Thus, the total area of the material to make the cylinder is

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+2\pi rh$

Replacing the formula of h

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+2\pi r \left (\frac{4}{\pi r^2}\right )$

Simplifying

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+\frac{8}{r}$

We have the function of the area in terms of one variable. Now we compute the first derivative and equal it to zero

$\displaystyle A'=2\pi r-\frac{8}{r^2}=0$

Rearranging

$\displaystyle 2\pi r=\frac{8}{r^2}$

Solving for r

$\displaystyle r^3=\frac{4}{\pi }$

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4}{\pi }}\approx 1.084\ feet$

Computing h

$\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{\pi \ r^2}\approx 1.084\ feet$

We can see the height and the radius are of the same size. We check if the critical point is a maximum or a minimum by computing the second derivative

$\displaystyle A''=2\pi+\frac{16}{r^3}$

We can see it will be always positive regardless of the value of r (assumed positive too), so the critical point is a minimum.

The minimum area is

$\displaystyle A=\pi(1.084)^2+\frac{8}{1.084}$

$\boxed{ A=11.07\ ft^2}$

The wildflowers at a national park have been decreasing in numbers. There were 1200 wildflowers in the first year that the park

bonufazy [111]

Year New flowers

1 1200

2 300

3 75

There were 1200 wildflowers in the first year that the park started tracking them. Since then, there have been one fourth as many new flowers each year

Initially there are 1200 flowers and start decreasing by $\frac{1}{4}$

So first term is 1200 and common ratio is $\frac{1}{4}$ .

Its a geometric sequence so summation becomes

i =1∑ ∞ 1200( $\frac{1}{4})^{i-1}$

Now we find the sum

We use sum formula

$Sum = \frac{a}{1-r}$

Where a is the first term , a= 1200

r is the common ratio , r= 1/4

$Sum = \frac{1200}{1-(\frac{1}{4})}$

$Sum = \frac{1200}{\frac{3}{4}}$

Sum = 1600 wildflowers
