APPLICATIONS OF DIFFERENTIATION
rfrith.uaa.alaska.edu › Calculus › Chapter4Some of the most important applications of differential calculus are optimization problems. In these, we are required to find the optimal (best) way of doing something. EXAMPLES Here are some examples of such problems that we will solve in this chapter. What is the shape of a can that minimizes manufacturing costs?

Assign a symbol to the quantity that is to be maximized or minimized (say Q). Also select symbols (a, b, c, …, x, y) for other unknown quantities and label the diagram with these ...
CHAPTER 3 APPLICATION OF DIFFERENTIATION
syedpkb.files.wordpress.com › 2013 › 06Derivatives are met in many engineering and science problems, especially when modelling the behaviour of moving objects. Our discussion begins with some general applications which we can then apply to specific problems. NOTES: a. There are now many tools for sketching functions (Mathcad, LiveMath, Scientific Notebook, graphics calculators, etc).
