ACTIVITY “OPTIMIZATION – Applications of Maxima and

6. STATEMENT OF THE LESSON

OBJECTIVES
By the end of the session, the students
should have:
a. solved maximization and
minimization using derivatives;
b. sketched the different figures or
illustrations involved in the
maximization and minimization
problems; and
c. manifested appreciation of the use of
derivatives by citing real life
applications of maxima and minima
concepts.

1. INTRODUCION OF OPTIMIZATION

(Note: Error bar charts consist of lines with

markers that are used to display statistical
information about the data displayed in a
graph. An Error Bar chart type is a series
that has 3 Y values. While it is true that
these values can be assigned to each point in
an Error Bar chart, in most cases, the values
will be calculated from the data present in
another series. The order of the Y values is
important because each position in the
array of values represents a value on the
Error Bar.)

The teacher will show a picture of

designs that uses maximization and
minimization.

the maxima and minima of a function?”

calculus.”
2. PROBLEM SOLVING
“Let’s look at this problem.

An object is launched at 19.6 meters per

second from a 58.8-meter-tall platform.
The equation for the object’s height s at
time t seconds after launch is
s ( t )=−4.9 t + 19.6 t+58.8 , where s is in
2

meters. When does the object reach its

maximum height and what is the
maximum height?

1. Draw an illustration of the problem.

2. What is the equation?

“How do we solve the critical

points?” 2
s ( t )=−4.9 t + 19.6 t+58.8
3. Solve for the critical value.
“Solve for the derivative of the equation.”
2
s ( t )=−4.9 t + 19.6 t+58.8
