Q. 44. Descomponer el número 8181 en dos sumandos de forma que el producto del primer sumando por el cuadrado del segundo sea máximo.
  1. Define addends xx and yy: Let's define the two addends as xx and yy, where x+y=81x + y = 81. We need to maximize the function f(x,y)=xy2f(x, y) = x \cdot y^2.
  2. Express yy in terms of xx: Since x+y=81x + y = 81, we can express yy as y=81xy = 81 - x. Substitute yy in the function to get f(x)=x(81x)2f(x) = x \cdot (81 - x)^2.
  3. Differentiate function f(x)f(x): Now, differentiate f(x)f(x) with respect to xx to find the critical points. f(x)=(81x)22x(81x)f'(x) = (81 - x)^2 - 2x(81 - x).
  4. Set derivative equal to zero: Simplify the derivative: f(x)=6561324x+3x2162x+2x2=5x2486x+6561f'(x) = 6561 - 324x + 3x^2 - 162x + 2x^2 = 5x^2 - 486x + 6561.
  5. Solve quadratic equation: Set the derivative equal to zero to find the critical points: 5x2486x+6561=05x^2 - 486x + 6561 = 0.
  6. Solve quadratic equation: Set the derivative equal to zero to find the critical points: 5x2486x+6561=05x^2 - 486x + 6561 = 0. Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}, where a=5a = 5, b=486b = -486, and c=6561c = 6561.
  7. Solve quadratic equation: Set the derivative equal to zero to find the critical points: 5x2486x+6561=05x^2 - 486x + 6561 = 0. Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}, where a=5a = 5, b=486b = -486, and c=6561c = 6561. Calculate the discriminant: (486)2456561=236196131220=104976(-486)^2 - 4\cdot 5\cdot 6561 = 236196 - 131220 = 104976.
  8. Solve quadratic equation: Set the derivative equal to zero to find the critical points: 5x2486x+6561=05x^2 - 486x + 6561 = 0. Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}, where a=5a = 5, b=486b = -486, and c=6561c = 6561. Calculate the discriminant: (486)2456561=236196131220=104976(-486)^2 - 4\cdot5\cdot6561 = 236196 - 131220 = 104976. Calculate the roots: x=486±10497610=486±32410x = \frac{486 \pm \sqrt{104976}}{10} = \frac{486 \pm 324}{10}. So, x=81x = 81 or x=16.2x = 16.2.
