Find the maximum value of (7x)4(2+x)5 when x lies between 7 and 2.

Solution

Points where derivative of the function is equal to zero are either maxima or minima since it is a continuous function.
putting derivative = 0 , we get
(4×1×{7x}3×{2+x}5)+(5×{7x}4{2+x}4)=0.
or , 5{7x}=4{2+x} since x(2,7) so {x+2}0 & {7x}0.

Therefore 9x=27 or , x=3.
Hence the maximum value will be (73)4(2+3)5 or 8×105.
