Approximating Change Using Tangents The change in the tangent line from x to x+h is (slope of tangent line at x) hThe change in the tangent line from x to x+h is (slope of tangent line at x) h The change in a function from x to x+h can be approximated by the change in the tangent line from x to x+h when h is a small numberThe change in a function from x to x+h can be approximated by the change in the tangent line from x to x+h when h is a small number That is, f(x+h) - f(x) f '(x) hThat is, f(x+h) - f(x) f '(x) h The result of the change in input from x to x+h is f(x+h) f(x) + f '(x) hThe result of the change in input from x to x+h is f(x+h) f(x) + f '(x) h

Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, All rights reserved. Approximating Change: Example The temperature during and after a thunderstorm can be modeled by T(h) = 2.37h 4 - 5.163h 3 + 8.69h 2 -9.87h + 78 degrees Fahrenheit where h is the number of hours after the storm began. Use the rate of change of T(h) at h = 0.25 to estimate how much the temperature changed between 15 and 20 minutes after the storm began. T'(.25) = -6.34 degrees per hour The temperature change is approximately (-6.34 °F/hour)(0.083 hours) = -0.53 °F. That is, the temperature dropped by about half a degree.

Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, All rights reserved. Approximating Change: Exercise 5.1 #13 The population of Mexico between 1921 and 1990 can be modeled by P(t) = 12.921e 0.026578t million people where t is the number of years since 1921. Estimate how much the population changed between 1985 and 1986. t = 64 in 1985 and t = 65 in 1986 P'(64) = 1.881698 million people per year P(65) - P(64) P'(64) (65 - 64) = 1.881698 (1) = 1.881698 (1) = 1.881698 million people = 1.881698 million people

Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, All rights reserved. Approximating Change: Exercise 5.1 #5 Interpret the following statements: a. At a production level of 500 units, marginal cost is $17 per unit b. When weekly sales are 150 units, marginal profit is $4.75 per unit a. Increasing production from 500 to 501 units will cost about $17. b. Increasing sales from 150 to 151 units will increase profit by about $4.75.

Extrema Relative maximum: the largest output value relative to nearby outputsRelative maximum: the largest output value relative to nearby outputs Relative minimum: the smallest output value relative to nearby outputsRelative minimum: the smallest output value relative to nearby outputs Absolute maximum: the largest output value over the set of all inputs to the functionAbsolute maximum: the largest output value over the set of all inputs to the function Absolute minimum: the smallest output value over the set of all inputs to the functionAbsolute minimum: the smallest output value over the set of all inputs to the function

Extrema If a function has a relative maximum or relative minimum at an input value c, then f '(c) = 0 or f '(c) does not exist but f(c) does exist.If a function has a relative maximum or relative minimum at an input value c, then f '(c) = 0 or f '(c) does not exist but f(c) does exist. If f '(c) =0 and the derivative crosses the input axis at c, then a relative extremum exists at c.If f '(c) =0 and the derivative crosses the input axis at c, then a relative extremum exists at c. An absolute extremum occurs at either a relative extremum or an endpoint of the specified interval.An absolute extremum occurs at either a relative extremum or an endpoint of the specified interval.

Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, All rights reserved. Optimization Without Equations 1 Identify the quantity to be maximized (output) or minimized and the quantity on which the output depends (the input). 2 Sketch and label a picture, if applicable. 3 Build a model for the quantity to be optimized. 4 Rewrite the model equation in terms of only one input variable, if necessary. 5 Identify the input interval. 6 Apply optimization techniques to the equation. 7 Answer the question posed in the problem.

Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, All rights reserved. Optimization: Example A rancher removed 200 feet of wire fencing from a field on his ranch. He wishes to reuse the fencing to create a rectangular corral into which he will build a 6-foot wide wooden gate. What dimensions will result in a corral with the greatest possible area? Step 1: output variable: area of rectangular corral input variables: length and width of corral
16
Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, All rights reserved. Optimization: Example Step 2: Step 3: A = lw where l is length, w is width, and A is area. This is the quantity we want to maximize.
17
Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, All rights reserved. Optimization: Example Step 4: The equation is Step 3 has two variables so we need to find a second equation that relates the length and width. 2w + 2l - 6 = 200 l = 103 - w So A = lw = (103 - w)w = 103w - w 2 square feet Step 5: If the corral length is 0 feet, the width is 100 feet. If the corral length is 100 feet, the width is 0 feet. So 0 < w < 100.
18
Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, All rights reserved. Optimization: Example Step 6: A'(w) = 103 - 2w Set A'(w) = 0 103 - 2w = 0 2w = 103 w = 51.5 feet will maximize corral area Step 7: l = 103 - w l = 103 - 51.5 = 51.5 feet So the corral should be 51.5 feet by 51.5 feet in order to maximize area.

Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, All rights reserved. Optimization: Exercise 5.3 #3 A rectangular-shaped garden has one side along the side of a house. The other three sides are to be enclosed with 60 feet of fencing. What is the largest possible area of the garden? Step 1: output variable: area of garden input variables: length and width of garden

21
Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, All rights reserved. Optimization: Exercise 5.3 #3 Step 4: The equation is Step 3 has two variables so we need to find a second equation that relates the length and width. 2w + l = 60 l = 60 - 2w So A = lw = (60- 2w)w = 60w - 2w 2 square feet Step 5: If the garden length is 0 feet, the width is 30 feet. If the garden length is 60 feet, the width is 0 feet. So 0 < w < 30.

Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, All rights reserved. Optimization: Exercise 5.3 #3 Step 6: A'(w) = 60 - 4w Set A'(w) = 0 60 - 4w = 0 4w = 60 w = 15 feet will maximize garden area Step 7: l = 60 - 2w l = 60 - 2(15) = 30 feet The garden should be 15 feet by 30 feet in order to maximize area. The long side is against the house.
