The sum of two positive numbers is 45. What is the maximum product of one of them and the square of the other? ​

Sagot :

Hope it helps u!

Step-by-step explanation:

why did you square the more complicated factor, why not square the x

p = x^2(60-x)

= 60x^2 - x^3

dp/dx = 120x - 3x^2

= 0 for a max of p

3x(40 - x) = 0

x = 0 or x = 40

obviously x=0 will produce the minimum product

if x = 40

then 60-40 = 20

so the two numbers are 40 and 20 (with 40 as the number that was squared in the product)

Your way should have worked too, but I notice that you jumped from

.... (60-x)^2 to

.....(60-x^2) , that is an error.

my product is (40^2)(20) = 32 000

btw, your two numbers don't even add up to 60
