Q6) The min value of  3x + 4y , subjected to the condition x2y3=6,where x,y are  positive is?

a) 10   b) 14    c) 13  d) 15

Q7) Consider the following funcns:

f(x) = x2 + 3x

g(x) = 3x + 4

a) 0   b) -11/2   c) -11/6  d) none of these

Q8) What is the max value of f(x) = max (4x+3 , 3x+6), for x € [-6,10]?

a) +infinity   b) 4  c) 6  d) none of these

a) -1  b) 2 c) 4  d) none of these

 

ANSWERS GIVEN:

1) b

2) b

3) c

4) d

5) c

6) a

7) a

8) c

9) d

answer Q2

Q2) The min value of  3x + 3y + z , subjected to the condition xyz = 24,where x,y,z are all positive real no's, is?

a) 14 x 31/3   b) 18    c) 216   d) 12

ANS:
To minimize 3x + 3y + z , we need to minimize all the three terms 3x, 3y and z.

as the coefficient of x and y are same 3, the value 3x + 3y 'll be minimum when x = y

So we get x2 z= 24

=> z = 24/x2

Now we have to minimize the function f(x) = 6x + 24/x2

=> 6 - 24*2*x-3 = 0

=>6 = 48x-3

=>x=2=y

and z=6

So the minimum value = 18

Q4) What is the least value of (x-2)(x-4)2(x-6) + 6, for real values of x?

a) 6   b) 4/3    c) 4   d) none of these

ANS:

I am getting the minimum value at x = 5/2

and the value as 33/16

Q7. plz chk the answer

Consider the following funcns:

f(x) = x2 + 3x

g(x) = 3x + 4

For what value of 'x' will f[g(x)] have its min value ?

a) 0   b) -11/2   c) -11/6  d) none of these

Ans:

Here also I m getting the answer as c -11/6

and the minimum value of f[g(x)] at x= -11/6 is -20.25 and at x =0 is 28

Plz confirm the answer

Q5   Given a,b,c are

Q5

  Given a,b,c are positive. Assume them as 1,2,3 ( since real not specified)

  substituting them we get the answer as 1.7 which is way less than 9 which is the given ans.

  If we take positive real values the ans would be even less than 1.7 approaching the limit of '1'.

Any body got the correct ans?

Q6 x2y3=6 y = 61/3/x2/3

Q6

x2y3=6

y = 61/3/x2/3 substitute in 3x + 4y and differentiate w.r.t  'x' and equate to zero

we get the 'x' value as 4/3.

So y = 3/2

Substitute in equ and we get minimum value of '10'

so ans (a)

Q7  Yes the equ will be min

Q7

 Yes the equ will be min when x = -11/6

At this value the function becomes  '-9/4'  ( -2.25)  not   -20.25.

Q9    Given  x €

Q9

    Given  x € ( 0,4) i.e  x = 1,2,3

  

             x =  1  min ( -1,-4)  =  -4

              x = 2   min ( -6,-1)  =  -6

              x  = 3  min ( -11,0)  =  -11

             

 now max of min of the function is  '-4'

so ans (d)

Q8  max (4x+3 , 3x+6),

Q8

  max (4x+3 , 3x+6),

max of above will be when x = 10 which is '43'.

but the ans given is '6'

anyone got the ans?
