Slide 2- 2 Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. A Strategy for Solving Maximum-Minimum Problems: 1. Read the problem carefully. If relevant, make a drawing. 2. Make a list of appropriate variables and constants, noting what varies, what stays fixed, and what units are used. Label the measurements on your drawing, if one exists. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide 2- 3 Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. A Strategy for Solving Maximum-Minimum Problems (concluded): 3. Translate the problem to an equation involving a quantity Q to be maximized or minimized. Try to represent Q in terms of the variables of step (2). 4.Try to express Q as a function of one variable. Use the procedures developed in sections 2.1 – 2.3 to determine the maximum or minimum values and the points at which they occur. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide 2- 4 Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 1: From a thin piece of cardboard 8 in. by 8 in., square corners are cut out so that the sides can be folded up to make a box. What dimensions will yield a box of maximum volume? What is the maximum volume? 1 st make a drawing in which x is the length of each square to be cut. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide 2- 5 Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 1 (continued): 2 nd write an equation for the volume of the box. Note that x must be between 0 and 4. So, we need to maximize the volume equation on the interval (0, 4). 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide 2- 6 Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 1 (continued): is the only critical value in (0, 4). So, we can use the second derivative. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide 2- 7 Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 1 (concluded): Thus, the volume is maximized when the square corners are inches. The maximum volume is 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide 2- 8 Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications Quick Check 1 Repeat Example 1 with a sheet of cardboard measuring 8.5 in. by 11 in. (the size of a typical sheet of paper). Will this box hold 1 liter (L) of liquid? (Hint: and ). Going from Example 1, we can visualize that the dimensions of the box will be

Slide 2- 9 Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications Quick Check 1 Continued Next lets find the equation for volume: Since, both and, and. So, must be between 0 and So we must maximize the volume equation on the interval.

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications Quick Check 1 Continued Using the quadratic equation: Since does not fall into the range,. or

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications Quick Check 1 Concluded Therefore there is a maximum at Thus the dimensions are approximately in. by 5.33 in. by 7.83 in., giving us a volume of or, which is greater than 1 Liter. Thus the box can hold 1 Liter of water.

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 2: A stereo manufacturer determines that in order to sell x units of a new stereo, the price per unit, in dollars, must be The manufacturer also determines that the total cost of producing x units is given by a) Find the total revenue R(x). b) Find the total profit P(x). c) How many units must the company produce and sell in order to maximize profit? d) What is the maximum profit? e) What price per unit must be charged in order to make this maximum profit? 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 2 (continued): a) b) 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 2 (continued): c) Since there is only one critical value, we can use the second derivative to determine whether or not it yields a maximum or minimum. Since P  (x) is negative, x = 490 yields a maximum. Thus, profit is maximized when 490 units are bought and sold. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 2 (concluded): d) The maximum profit is given by Thus, the stereo manufacturer makes a maximum profit of $237,100 when 490 units are bought and sold. e) The price per unit to achieve this maximum profit is 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications Quick Check 2 Repeat Example 2 with the price function and the cost function. Round your answers when necessary. a.) Find the total revenue

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications Quick Check 2 Continued b.) Find the total Profit: c.) Find the number of units to produce by using the First Derivative Test to find a critical value: We can use the second derivative to see if this is a maximum or minimum. Since, we know profits are maximized when 434 units are sold.

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications Quick Check 2 concluded d.) Find the Maximum Profit: The maximum profit is given by: Thus the maximum profit is $374,028. e.) Find the price per unit. The price per unit to achieve this maximum profit is:

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. THEOREM 10 Maximum profit occurs at those x-values for which R (x) = C (x) and R  (x) < C  (x). 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 3: Promoters of international fund-raising concerts must walk a fine line between profit and loss, especially when determining the price to charge for admission to closed-circuit TV showings in local theaters. By keeping records, a theater determines that, at an admission price of $26, it averages 1000 people in attendance. For every drop in price of $1, it gains 50 customers. Each customer spends an average of $4 on concessions. What admission price should the theater charge in order to maximize total revenue? 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 3 (continued): Let x = the number of dollars by which the price of $26 should be decreased (if x is negative, the price should be increased). 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 3 (continued): To maximize R(x), we find R (x) and solve for critical values. Since there is only one critical value, we can use the second derivative to determine if it yields a maximum or minimum. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Example 3 (concluded): Thus, x = 5 yields a maximum revenue. So, the theater should charge $26 – $5 = $21 per ticket. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications Quick Check 3 A baseball team charges $30 per ticket and averages 20,000 people in attendance per game. Each person spends an average of $8 on concessions. For every drop of $1 in the ticket price, the attendance rises by 800 people. What ticket price should the team charge to maximize total revenue? From Example 3, we can use the Revenue formula to find the ticket price to maximize income:

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications Quick Check 3 Concluded Next we find : Then find where : To check to make sure this is a maximum, we need to use the second derivative. Since we know that this is in fact a maximum of the revenue equation. Substitute x back into the formula for ticket price we get:

Slide Copyright © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 2.5 Maximum-Minimum Problems; Business and Economics Applications Section Summary In many real-life applications, we wish to determine the minimum or maximum value of some function modeling a situation. Identify a realistic interval for the domain of the input variable. If it is closed interval, its endpoints should be considered as possible critical values.
