The area of a trapezium is defined by function f and given by f(x) = (10 + x)√(100 − x2), then the area when it is maximised is :(a) 75 cm2(b) 7√3 cm2(c) 75√3 cm2(d) 5 cm2

Answer»

Option : (c)

\(f'(x)=\frac{-2x^2-10x+100}{\sqrt{100-x^2}}\)

\(f'(x)=0\Rightarrow x=-10\,or\,5,\)

If \(x=-10\) then area = \(f(x)=0\) which is not maximum

Therefore, \( x=5\)

Now, \(f''(x)=\frac{2x^3-300x-1000}{(100-x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\) 

 \(\Rightarrow f''(5)=\frac{-30}{\sqrt{75}}<0\)

\(\Rightarrow\) Maximum area of trapezium is \(75\sqrt3cm^2\) when x = 5
