2.Give two problems (in any area) with its solution and specify the area of application of
derivatives and integrals
Problem 1:
Optimization Problem in Economics
Suppose a company wants to maximize its profit by determining the optimal production
quantity. The company's revenue function is given by R(x) = 5x - 0.01x^2, where x is the
production quantity, and the cost function is given by C(x) = 2x + 100, where x is the
production quantity.
Solution:
To find the optimal production quantity, we need to maximize the profit function, which is
the difference between the revenue and the cost.
To find the maximum profit, we need to find the critical point(s) of the profit function by
taking the derivative and setting it equal to zero.
Since the second derivative is negative, the critical point at x = 150 is a maximum. Therefore,
the optimal production quantity is 150 units.
Problem 2:
Projectile Motion in Physics
A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of 50 m/s at an angle of 60 degrees above the
horizontal. Assuming no air resistance, find the maximum height reached by the projectile
and the time it takes to reach the maximum height.
Solution:
To solve this problem, we can use the equations of motion for projectile motion.
Given information:
- Initial velocity (v₀) = 50 m/s
- Angle of launch (θ) = 60 degrees
