Question
Find the maximum and the minimum values, if any, without using derivatives of the following functions: $f(x) = 4x^{2 }- 4x + 4$ on $R.$
✓
Answer
$\text{f}(\text{x})=4\text{x}^{2}-4\text{x}+4$ on $R$
$=4\text{x}^{2}-4\text{x}+1+3$
$=(2\text{x})^{2}+3$
$ \therefore(2\text{x}-1)^{2}\geq0$
$\Rightarrow(2\text{x}-1)^{2}+3\geq3$
$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\text{x})\geq\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)$
Thus, the minimum value of $f(x)$ is $3$ at $\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$
since, $f(x)$ can be made as large as. Therefore maximum value does not exist.

A diet for a sick person must contain at least $4000$ units of vitamins, $50$ units of minerals and $1400$ of calories. Two foods $A$ and $B,$ are available at a cost of $Rs. 4$ and $Rs. 3$ per unit respectively. If one unit of $A$contains $200$ units of vitamin, $1$ unit of mineral and $40$ calories and one unit of food $B$ contains $100$ units of vitamin, $2$ units of minerals and $40$ calories, find what combination of foods should be used to have the least cost?
