Question

Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of f on the given interval.

Answer 1

Answer:

absolute max= (4.243,18)

absolute min =(-1,-5.916)

absolute max=(pi/6, 2.598)

absolute min = (pi/2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $f(t) = t\sqrt{36-t^2}$

To find max and minima in the given interval let us take log and differentiate

$log f(t) = log t + 0.5 log (36-t^2)\\Y(t) = log t + 0.5 log (36-t^2)$

It is sufficient to find max or min of Y

$y'(t) = \frac{1}{t} -\frac{t}{36-t^2} \\\\y'=0 gives\\36-t^2 -t^2 =0\\t^2 =18\\t = 4.243,-4.243$

In the given interval only 4.243 lies

And we find this is maximum hence maximum at  (4.243,18)

Minimum value is only when x = -1 i.e. -5.916

b) $f(t) = 2cost +sin 2t\\f'(t) = -2sint +2cos2t\\f"(t) = -2cost-4sin2t$

Equate I derivative to 0

-2sint +1-2sin^2 t=0

sint = 1/2 only satisfies I quadrant.

So when t = pi/6 we have maximum

Minimum is absolute mini in the interval i.e. (pi/2,0)
