OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS
Applying Our Concepts
• We know about
max and min …
• Now how can
we use those
principles?
Use the Strategy• What is the quantity to be optimized?
– The volume
• What are the measurements (in terms of
x)?
• What is the variable which will
manipulated to determine the optimum
volume?
• Now use calculus

Guidelines for Solving Applied
Minimum and Maximum Problems
Optimization
Optimization
Maximizing or minimizing a quantity based on a given situation
Requires two equations:
Primary Equation
what is being maximized or minimized
Secondary Equation
gives a relationship between variables
To find the maximum (or minimum) value of a function:
1 Write it in terms of one variable.
2 Find the first derivative and set it equal to zero.
3 Check the end points if necessary.
Ex. 1 A manufacturer wants to design an open box
having a square base and a surface area of 108 in2.
What dimensions will produce a box with maximum
volume?
x
x
h
Since the box has a square
base, its volume is
V = x2h
Note: We call this the primary
equation because it gives a
formula for the quantity we
wish to optimize.
The surface area = the area of the base + the area of the 4 sides.
S.A. = x2 + 4xh = 108 We want to maximize the volume,
so express it as a function of just
one variable. To do this, solve
x2 + 4xh = 108 for h.

We can conclude that V is a maximum when x = 6 and
the dimensions of the box are 6 in. x 6 in. x 3 in.

here, since the

Example 5: What dimensions for a one liter cylindrical can will
use the least amount of material?
We can minimize the material by minimizing the area.

If the end points could be the maximum or minimum,
you have to check.
Notes:
If the function that you want to optimize has more than
one variable, use substitution to rewrite the function.
If you are not sure that the extreme you’ve found is a
maximum or a minimum, you have to check.

container that will hold 100cm3. The cost
for the top and bottom of the can is 3 times
