Click HERE to return to the original list of various types of calculus problems. The following problems are maximum/minimum optimization problems. They illustrate one of the most important applications of the first derivative. Many students find these problems intimidating because they are "word" problems,

Jul 3, 2007 Many application problems in calculus involve functions for which you want to find maximum or minimum values. The restrictions stated or implied for such...

is a square. (Note: The value we found is a maximum, because the second derivative is negative.) All maximum-minimum problems follow this same procedure:

And what are the coordinates on the graph of that maximum or minimum? .... Problem 1. Find the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola,. y = x² − 8x + 1.

This refers, both in real life and in Calculus, to the maximum or minimum value of something. In general, the optimization problems you will encounter here are something like you are given a certain amount of material, and you want to create the dimensions that will give it the biggest volume.

[Here's another way to find the maximum or minimum value of a parabola.] The process of finding maximum or minimum values is called optimisation. We are trying to do things like maximise the profit in a company, or minimise the costs, or find the least amount of material to make a Calculus Lessons on DVD...
