Solve a maximum or minimum problem by differentiation

Question 1 of 8

No calculator

The sum of two non-negative lengths is \(22\,\mathrm{cm}\). Use their product as the quantity to be maximised

Let \(w\) be the first length and \(l\) the second length

w+l=22

A(w,l)=wl

The practical domain is \(w\in\left[0,22\right]\)

Use differentiation to find the requested optimum

(a)1 mark

Select the correct one-variable objective after using the displayed data

A(w,l)=wl

A(w)=-w^{2} + 22\,w

A(w)=22-w

(b)4 marks

Complete the numerical table for the constraint and the one-variable objective

Given constant in the constraint coefficient of w to the power 2 coefficient of w constant term

Select the practical domain for \(w\)

w\in\left[0,22\right]

w\in\mathbb{R}

w\in\left[0,44\right]

(d)6 marks
