Maxima, Minima and Inequalities- The Basics by Total Gadha - Monday, 20 O ctobe r 2008, 10:40 AM
This is a month of distress; students going into depression over their marks, everyone asking for attention, frantic phone calls and emails, long hours of workshops, motivating speeches, exclusive sessions. In short, bullets flying all around and everyday becoming a war zone. Part of the game though. This is the month every instructor in the field tightens his belt and gets ready for the barrage of queries and emotions flying his way. (And I just burnt my tea I left on the burner 10 minutes ago while writing this. Oh well!) I am still amazed how crushing those meaningless percentiles can be to the spirits of the students. I keep on telling students don't take your percentiles seriously. Don't take your percentiles seriously but my exhortations always fall on deaf ears. Students are so much caught in this web that they cannot detect that half their miseries are emanating from something that is not real and cannot supplant the real thing- The C AT. Oh well, I better go and answer those distress calls. For all those students telling me that I have disappeared from TG, here is the new chapter to shush them for a while. Till the mutiny rises again

Re: Maxima, Minima and Inequalities- The Basics by Ank it Talwar - Monday, 26 O ctobe r 2009, 03:06 PM
Hi all, The appr oach to solve the above mentioned pr oblems is to maximize one of the number s while minimizing the other two. Ans 1: Take x=50, y=0,z=0; the maximum value of ( x^2 + y^2 + z^2) = 2500. Ans 2: We have to see the weights attached with differ ent number s. In the second pr oblem. z has the highest weight attached to it { 8(Wz) > 5(Wy) >2(Wx)}. So we will take the following case x=0, y=0, z=25; the maximum value of (2x^2+ 5y^2 + 8z^2) = 5000 (which is not pr esent as any of the options.) Chinmay I would r equest you to check the answer for the second and pr ovide clar ifications if r equir ed. Regar ds Ank it

Hi Rajesh Understand the concept clearly. On number line '5' denotes a point which is 5 unit away from origin on the right side. Right? Similarly 'x' denotes a point which lies at a distance of 'x' units from origin. So |x - 5| denotes the distance between two points 'x' and '5' on the number line. What does |5 - x| represent on number line? Isn't it same the distance between two points '5' and 'x' on the number line? It is. Hope it is clear. Kamal Lohia

Re: Maxima, Minima and Inequalities- The Basics by TG Te am - Thursday, 8 Se pte m be r 2011, 12:03 PM
Hi Abhinay xyz + xy + yz + zx = (x + 1)(y + 1)(z + 1) - (x + y + z) - 1 And this will be maximum when (x + 1)(y + 1)(z + 1) is maximum. We know that sum of these three terms (i.e. x + 1 + y + 1 + z + 1 = 14) is constant, so there product will be maximum when these three terms are as close as possible.(preferably equal) But in this question, it is given that x, y, z are distinct positive integers so (x + 1), (y + 1), (z + 1) should also be distinct but should be close also. So the optimum case is 6, 5, 3 and the required maximum product will be 6 5 3 11 - 1 = 78. Kamal Lohia

Priyanka In this case, it's ok to just equate the expressions and get the value of x at which f(x) attains its maximum. But if f(x) = min(5 + 3x, x + 3), then what will you do? Just try and think. Kamal Lohia

As all x ,y,z are natural nos. he nce for m ax value of x + y + z, we ne e d m in value of y+2z (which should be e ve n also to give inte gral value of x +y+z.Trying with y+2z =4 , we ge t y=2 and z=1 (with 2 we will not ge t natural nos.) he nce x +y+z = 48. Now substitute in x ^2 + y^2 + z^2 to ge t the ans B) se parate all te rm s, we ge t x ^2+ x ^2+ y^2+ y^2+ y^2+ y^2+ y^2+ z^2+ z^2+ z^2 +z^2+ z^2+ z^2+ z^2+ z^2 >= ((x +x +y+y+y+y+y+z+z+z+z+z+z+z+z)^2)/15 = ((2x +5y+8z)^2)/15..= ((200-(2x +y))^2)/15 , now we have to m inim ize 2x +y subje ct to the condition that z = ( 25-(2x +3y)/4) will be an inte ge r. This give s 2x +3y=8 ( = 4 doe s not give natural no. sol.) he nce x = 1, y= 2 and z= 23. Substitution in 2x ^2+5y^2+8z^2 give s the ans.

Re: Maxima, Minima and Inequalities- The Basics by R ahul Sharm a - W e dne sday, 14 Se pte m be r 2011, 11:33 AM Hi sir, m in value of |x -1|+|x -10| as pe r m y unde rstanding, the value of the e x pre ssion will be a constant whe n x lie s be twe e n m ax and the m in value s(i.e 1, 10). whe n the re are othe r te rm s include d in be twe e n the n the value of the e x pre ssion will large ly de pe nd on the m .if we have odd te rm s in all, the n the value of the e x pre ssion will b m ax at the value of x obtaine d from the m iddle te rm . If the no of te rm s are e ve n the the two m iddle te rm s will de cide the range of x for the e x pre ssion to have m ax value . ple ase le t m e k now if i m right. And alsoe ple ase he lp m e in finding the value s of the following e x pre ssions: |1-x |+|x -3|+|x -10| |x ^2-1|+|x 2-3|+|x ^2-10|

Re: Maxima, Minima and Inequalities- The Basics by ashwini rathore - Friday, 22 Fe bruary 2013, 11:41 PM hi this is yash... i m going to te ll m y m e thod F(X)=|X-a|+|X-b|+|X-c| m in value always occur At b if a<b<c and odd te rm s re ason is tat if u ope n any inte rval of x . F(x ) has to be straight line coz it is line ar function ..so just choose critical point draw graph... by this conce pt u can solve ine qualitie s in m in. tim e lik e the value of x which satisfy give n ine qualitie s |x +5|+|x -1|+|x -7.5|>36.5 slope is constant for particular inte rval lik e x >7.5
