Answers to Optimization Problems Practice

1) p = the profit per day x = the number of items manufactured per day
Function to maximize: p = x(110 − 0.05 x) − (50 x + 6000) where 0 ≤ x < ∞
Optimal number of smartphones to manufacture per day: 600
2) A = the total area of the two corrals x = the length of the non-adjacent sides of each corral
200 − 4 x
Function to maximize: A = 2 x ⋅ where 0 < x < 50

100
Dimensions of each corall: 25 ft (non-adjecent sides) by ft (adjacent sides)

3) P = the product of the two numbers x = the positive number
Function to minimize: P = x( x − 8) where − ∞ < x < ∞
Smallest product of the two numbers: −16
4) A = the total area of the two corrals x = the length of the non-adjacent sides of each corral
400 − 4 x
Function to maximize: A = 2 x ⋅ where 0 < x < 100

200
Dimensions of each corall: 50 ft (non-adjecent sides) by ft (adjacent sides)

5) A = the area of the glass x = the length of the sides of the square bottom
2 500
Function to minimize: A = x + 4 x ⋅ 2 where 0 < x < ∞

Dimensions of the aquarium: 10 ft by 10 ft by 5 ft tall
6) d = the distance from point (5, 0) to a point on the curve x = the x-coordinate of a point on the curve
Function to minimize: d = x ) where − ∞ < x < ∞ ( x − 5) 2 + ( 2

Function to maximize: A = 2 x 8 − x where 0 < x < 8
Area of largest rectangle: 64
8) L = the total length of rope x = the horizontal distance from the short pole to the stake
Function to minimize: L = x + 4 + (15 − x) + 16 where 0 ≤ x ≤ 15

Stake should be placed: 3 ft from the short pole (or 12 ft from the long pole)
