Question 34 The area of a trapezium is defined by function 𝑓 and given by 𝑓(𝑥) = (10 + 𝑥) √("100 − 𝑥2" ) , then the area when it is maximised is: (a) 75 cm2 (b) 7 √3 cm2 (c) 75 √3 cm2 (d) 5 cm2
𝑓(𝑥) = (𝒙+𝟏𝟎) (√(𝟏𝟎𝟎−𝒙𝟐))
Since A has a square root
It will be difficult to differentiate
Let Z = [𝑓(𝑥)]2
= (𝑥+10)^2 (100−𝑥2)
Where f'(x) = 0, there Z’(x) = 0
Differentiating Z
Z =(𝑥+10)^2 " " (100−𝑥2)
Differentiating w.r.t. x
Z’ = 𝑑((𝑥 + 10)^2 " " (100 − 𝑥2))/𝑑𝑘
Z’ = [(𝑥 + 10)^2 ]^′ (100 − 𝑥^2 )+(𝑥 + 10)^2 " " (100 − 𝑥^2 )^′
Z’ = 2(𝑥 + 10)(100 − 𝑥^2 )−2𝑥(𝑥 + 10)^2
Z’ = 2(𝑥 + 10)[100 − 𝑥^2−𝑥(𝑥+10)]
Z’ = 2(𝑥 + 10)[100 − 𝑥^2−𝑥^2−10𝑥]
Z’ = 2(𝑥 + 10)[−2𝑥^2−10𝑥+100]
Z’ = −𝟒(𝒙 + 𝟏𝟎)[𝒙^𝟐+𝟓𝒙+𝟓𝟎]
Putting 𝒅𝒁/𝒅𝒙=𝟎
−4(𝑥 + 10)[𝑥^2+5𝑥+50] =0
(𝑥 + 10)[𝑥^2+5𝑥+50] =0
(𝑥 + 10) [𝑥2+10𝑥−5𝑥−50]=0
(𝑥 + 10) [𝑥(𝑥+10)−5(𝑥+10)]=0
(𝒙 + 𝟏𝟎)(𝒙−𝟓)(𝒙+𝟏𝟎)=𝟎
So, 𝑥=𝟓 & 𝒙=−𝟏𝟎
Since x is length, it cannot be negative
∴ x = 5
Finding maximum area of trapezium
A = (𝑥+10) √(100−𝑥2)
= (5+10) √(100−(5)2)
= (15) √(100−25)
= 15 √75
= 15 √(25 × 3)
= 15 × √𝟐𝟓 × √𝟑
= 15 × 5 × √3
= 75√𝟑 cm2
So, the correct answer is (C)
