21. Minimize Q = x 2 + y 2, where x - y = 10. 32. Business: minimizing average cost. The total cost in
dollars of producing x units of a product is given by

R(x) and C(x) are the revenue and cost, in dollars, when How many units should be produced to minimize the av-
x units are produced: erage cost?
R1x2 = x 2 + 110x + 60,
C1x2 = 1.1x 2 + 10x + 80. TECHNOLOGY CONNECTION
23. Business: minimizing cost. From a thin piece of 33. Use a calculator to estimate any extrema of this function:
f 1x2 = 5x 3 - 30x 2 + 45x + 52x.
cardboard 60 in. by 60 in., square corners are cut out
so that the sides can be folded up to make an open box.
What dimensions will yield a box of maximum volume? 34. Use a calculator to estimate any extrema of this function:
What is the maximum volume?
g1x2 = x 5 - x 3.
24. Business: minimizing inventory costs. Ironside Sports
sells 1225 tennis rackets per year. It costs $2 to store one
tennis racket for a year. To reorder, there is a fixed cost of
$1, plus $0.50 for each tennis racket. How many times
per year should Ironside order tennis rackets, and in
what lot size, in order to minimize inventory costs?
25. For y = f 1x2 = x 2 - 3, x = 5, and ¢x = 0.1, find ¢y
and f ¿1x2 ¢x.
26. Approximate 250 using ¢y L f ¿1x2 ¢x.
27. For y = 2x 2 + 3:
a) Find dy.
b) Find dy when x = 2 and dx = 0.01.
28. Differentiate the following implicitly to find dy>dx. Then
find the slope of the curve at 11, 22:
x 3 + y 3 = 9.
29. A spherical balloon has a radius of 15 cm. Use a differen-
tial to find the approximate change in the volume of the
balloon if the radius is increased or decreased by 0.5 cm.
(The volume of a sphere is V = 43 pr 3. Use 3.14 for p.)
30. A pole 13 ft long leans against a vertical wall. If the lower
end is moving away from the wall at the rate of 0.4 ft>sec,
how fast is the upper end coming down when the lower
end is 12 ft from the wall?
