A poster of area 6000 cm2 has blank margins of 10 cm wide on the top and bottom and 6 cm wide on the sides. Find the dimensions that maximize the printed area.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]80\ \text{cm}\times 48\ \text{cm}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A = Area of the poster = [tex]6000\ \text{cm}^2[/tex]

x = Length of poster

y = Width of poster

[tex]xy=6000\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{6000}{x}[/tex]

Printed area would be

[tex](x-20)(y-12)\\ =(x-20)(\dfrac{6000}{x}-12)\\ =6000-12x-\dfrac{120000}{x}+240[/tex]

So we get the printable area as function

[tex]f(x)=6000-12x-\dfrac{120000}{x}+240[/tex]

Differentiating with respect to x we get

[tex]f'(x)=-12+\dfrac{120000}{x^2}[/tex]

Equating with zero

[tex]0=-12+\dfrac{120000}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow 12=\dfrac{120000}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow x^2=\dfrac{120000}{12}\\\Rightarrow x^2=10000\\\Rightarrow x=100[/tex]

Printed area length would be [tex]100-20=80\ \text{cm}[/tex] and breadth would be [tex]\dfrac{6000}{100}-12=60-12=48\ \text{cm}[/tex]

The dimensions that maximize the printed area has a length of 120 cm and width of 72 cm

Let x represent the length of the poster and y represent the width of the poster, hence:

xy = 6000

y = 6000/x

Since margins of 10 cm wide on the top and bottom and 6 cm wide on the sides hence:

length = x + 10 + 10 = x + 20, width = y + 6 + 6 = y + 12

The Area (A) = (x + 20)(y + 12)

A = xy + 12x + 20y + 240

A =6000 + 12x + 20(6000/x) + 240

A = 6240 + 12x + 120000/x

The maximum area is at dA/dx = 0:

dA/dx = 12 - 120000/x²

120000/x² = 12

12x² = 120000

x² = 10000

x = 100 cm

y = 6000/x = 6000/100 = 60 cm

length = 100 + 20 = 120 cm, width = y + 12 = 60 + 12 = 72 cm

The dimensions that maximize the printed area has a length of 120 cm and width of 72 cm
