Q. 4. Descomponer el número 81 en dos sumandos de forma que el producto del primer sumando por el cuadrado del segundo sea máximo.
Define addends x and y: Let's define the two addends as x and y, where x+y=81. We need to maximize the function f(x,y)=x⋅y2.
Express y in terms of x: Since x+y=81, we can express y as y=81−x. Substitute y in the function to get f(x)=x⋅(81−x)2.
Differentiate function f(x): Now, differentiate f(x) with respect to x to find the critical points. f′(x)=(81−x)2−2x(81−x).
Set derivative equal to zero: Simplify the derivative: f′(x)=6561−324x+3x2−162x+2x2=5x2−486x+6561.
Solve quadratic equation: Set the derivative equal to zero to find the critical points: 5x2−486x+6561=0.
Solve quadratic equation: Set the derivative equal to zero to find the critical points: 5x2−486x+6561=0. Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, x=2a−b±b2−4ac, where a=5, b=−486, and c=6561.
Solve quadratic equation: Set the derivative equal to zero to find the critical points: 5x2−486x+6561=0. Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, x=2a−b±b2−4ac, where a=5, b=−486, and c=6561. Calculate the discriminant: (−486)2−4⋅5⋅6561=236196−131220=104976.
