Answer basic training

a) y = 100x – 5x2
dy/dx = 100 – 10x = 0 {turning point}
10x = 100
x = 10
test for maximum point:
dy2/dx2 = -10
since dy2/dx2 is less than zero / negative, then x = 10 is the
maximum value.

b) y = x2 – 10x + 45
dy/dx = 2x - 10 = 0 {turning point}
2x = 10
x =5
Test for minimum :
dy2/dx2 = 2
since dy2/dx2 is more than zero / positive, then x = 5 is the
minimum value.

c) y = 6x2 – 0.4x3
dy/dx = 12x – 1.2x2 = 0
12 – 2.4x = 0
2.4x = 12
x=5
Test for maximum :
dy2/dx2 = -2.4
since dy2/dx2 is less than zero / negative, then x = 5 is the
maximum value.

d) y = 60x – 0.6x2
dy/dx = 60 – 1.2x=0
1.2x= 60
x = 50
Test for maximum:
dy2/dx2 = -0.12
since dy2/dx2 is less than zero / negative, then x = 50,is the
maximum value.
