The positive variables x and y are such that xy = 32, A third variable z is defined by z = 3° + y. @ Show that z= + 35, (ii) Calculate the value of x for which z has a stationary value and show that this value of x makes z a minimum. Geometry. Point P moves along the curve y = 2x3 - 12x +x + 9, Find the coordinates of P such that the normal to the curve at P will have a gradient that is either a maximum or a minimum. A solid circular cylinder has radius cm and height cm. It has a fixed volume of 400 em, (i) Show that the total surface area, Ac, of the cylinder is given by Find the value of r that gives the cylinder its minimum surface area, ‘An open rectangular box of height hom has a horizontal rectangular base of sides x cm and 2x cm, The volume: of the box is 36 cm’, (i) Express A in terms of x, and show that the total external surface area, Accm®, of the box is given by Asay SB, (ii) Calculate the value of x and of h, which would make the total surface area a minimum. ‘The diagram shows a metal plate consisting of a rectangle PORT and an isosceles triangle RST, where PQ = 2x cm, OR = y cm and 3 Ss SM = “Fem, TrGiven that the perimeter of PORST is 30 om, show that the area, A om?, of PORST is given by A = 30x — 15% Calculate (@ the maximum value of A, Gi) the length of SIV when Ais a maximum. 11 In the diagram, the cross-section of the prism is an isosceles triangle ABC in which AB = AC = Sx cm and BC = 6x cm. ‘A_Sxem__B hem € The length of each of the parallel edges AD, BE and CF is h cm. Given that the volume of the prism is 4500 cm’, (write an expression for hin terms of x, (ii) show that the total surface area, Acm®, is given by A= 24x + SO, (ii) express in terms of x, (iv) find the stationary value of A. 12 (a) If the perimeter of a rectangle is to be 80 m, find its maximum area. (b) Ifa rectangle has an area of 16 cm*, find its minimum perimeter. 13. Electricity. The work done by a cell of constant electromotive force £, in volts, and constant internal resistance r, in ohms, on passing a steady current through an external resistance R, in ‘hms, is proportional to SR Show that the work done is greatest when R = r.
