Example
Determine the maximum and minimum values
of the function
f ( x ) 12 x 5 45 x 4 40 x 3 5
Solution :
f ( x ) 60 x 4 180 x 3 120 x 2
60 x 2 x 2 3 x 2
60 x 2 x 2 x 1
f ( x ) 0 at x 0, x 1 and x 2
The second derivative
f ( x ) 240 x 3 540 x 2 240 x
60 4 x 3 9 x 2 4 x
At x 1 f ( x ) 60 and hence x 1 is
a relative maximum.
Therefore f max f ( x 1) 12.
Example (continued)
At x 2, f ( x ) 240 and hence x 2 is a relative minimum.
Therefore, f min f ( x 2) 11
At x 0, f ( x ) 0 and hence we must investigat e the next
derivative .
f ( x ) 60(12 x 2 18 x 4) 240 at x 0, f ( x ) 0 and
hence x 0 is neither a maximum nor a minimum and
it is an inflection point.
Example
In a two stage compressor, the working gas leaving the first stage
of compression is cooled ( by passing it through an intercooler)
before it enters the second stage of compression to increase the
efficiency. The total work input to a compressor (W) for an ideal gas
for isentropic compression is given by

Optimality Criteria
Suppose at any point x* first derivative
is zero and first non-zero higher order
derivative is denoted by n, then
If n is odd x* is an inflection point
If n is even x* is a local optimum
If fn(x*) is positive x* is a local minimum
If fn(x*) is negative x* is a local maximum
Example
f ( x) x 2 x 2 x 1
x4 x3 x2
f ( x ) 4 x 3 3 x 2 2 x
f ( x ) 12 x 2 6 x 2
at x 0; f ( 0) 0 and f (0) 2
it is giving minimum
f ( x) x 3 x 2 x 1
Example
x5 x4 x3
f ( x ) 5 x 4 4 x 3 3 x 2 and f ( 0) 0
f ( x ) 20 x 3 12 x 2 3 x here also f ( 0) 0
Therefore x 0 is neither a maximum nor minimum
f ( x ) 60 x 2 24 x 6
f (0) 6 0
As per our optimality criteria n 3 i.e. odd
and hence x 0 is an infection point.
Example
f ( x ) 60 x 6 48 x 5 15 x 4 200 x 3 120 x 2 480 x 100
f ( x ) 60 x 5 240 x 4 60 x 3 600 x 2 240 x 480
f ( x ) 60 5 x 4 16 x 3 3 x 2 20 x 4
At x -1 and x 2 ; f ( x ) 0
f ( x ) 120 10 x 3 24 x 2 3 x 10
at x -1 , f ( x ) 0;
At x 2 f ( x ) 0
This satisfy the necessary condition.
f ( x ) 120 30 x 2 48 x 3
at x 2, f ( x ) 3240
This satisfy the sufficient condition.
x 2 is a minima.
f ( x )min 396
