The top and bottom margins of a poster are each 9 cm and the side margins are each 6 cm. If the area of the printed material on the poster is fixed at 864 cm2, find the dimensions of the poster with the smallest area.

Respuesta :

Answer:

the dimensions of the poster with the smallest area is 36cm by 54cm

Step-by-step explanation:

✓Let us represent the WIDTH of the printed material on the poster as "x"

✓Let us represent the HEIGHT of the printed material on the poster as "y"

✓ The given AREA is given as 864 cm2

Then we have

864 cm2= xy ...................eqn(1)

We can make "y" subject of the formula.

y= 864/x .......................eqn(2)

✓The total height the big poster which includes the 9cm margin that is at the bottom as well as the top is

(y+18)

✓The total width of the poster which includes the 6cm margin that is at the bottom as well as the top is

(x+12)

✓Then AREA OF THE TOTAL poster

A= (y+18)(x+12) ...................eqn(3)

Substitute eqn (2) into eqn(3)

A= ( 18+ 864/x)(x+12)

We can now simplify by opening the bracket, as

A=18x +1080 +10368/x

A= 18x +10368/x +1080

Let us find the first derivative of A which is A'

A'= 18-(10368/x²)

If we set A' =0

Then

0= 18- (10368/x²)

18= (10368/x²)

x²= 10368/18

x²= 576

x=√576

x=24

The second derivatives will be A"= 2(10368)/x³ and this will be positive for x> 0, and here A is concave up and x=24 is can be regarded as a minimum

The value of "y" when x=24 can now be be calculated using eqn(2)

y= 864/x

y= 864/24

y=36cm

✓The total width of the poster= (x+12)

= 24+12=36cm

✓The total height big the poster= (y+18)=36+18=54cm

the dimensions of the poster with the smallest area is 36cm by 54cm

Answer:

The total width of the paper [tex]=36 cm.[/tex]

The total height of the paper [tex]=54cm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Top margin of the paper = 9 [tex]cm\\[/tex]

Bottom margin of the paper = 6 [tex]cm\\[/tex]

Area of the printed material = [tex]864[/tex] [tex]cm^2[/tex]

Let, the width of the printed material = [tex]x[/tex]

And the height of the printed material = [tex]y[/tex]

So, Area [tex]x \times y=864[/tex] [tex]cm^2[/tex]

After including margins;

Width of the paper [tex]= (x+12)[/tex]

Height of the paper [tex]= (y+18)[/tex]

Area [tex](A) = (y+18) (x+12)[/tex]

[tex]A=18x+(10368/x)+1080\\[/tex]

Take first derivative:

[tex]A'= 18- (10368/x^2)[/tex]

When [tex]A'=0[/tex]

Then,

[tex]18-(10368/x^2)=0\\x^2=576\\x=24[/tex]

Now ,when we take second derivative and check if it is positive or not ,

We find that it is grater than zero so the obtained value can be consider as minimum and can be proceed for further solution.

Hence ,

[tex]x \times y=864\\y=864/24\\y=36\\[/tex]

Now ,

The total width of the paper

[tex]= 24+12\\=36 cm.[/tex]

And , total height of the paper

[tex]=36+18\\=54 cm.[/tex]
