Calculus 1: Bil. Nama No. Matriks 1 2 3 Muhammad Luqman Hasif Bin Sufian 2019423306

This document provides a summary of Calculus 1 and discusses two applied maximum and minimum problems: 1) A man wants to fence off his property using 1200m of fencing. The dimensions that give the largest enclosed area are calculated using equations for perimeter and area, and taking the derivative of area. 2) An oil company's daily profit P is given as a function of barrels of oil refined x. The number of barrels that gives maximum profit is found by taking the derivative of P and setting it equal to zero.

1.0 Introduction

Differentiation is concerned with how one quantity changes in relation to another


quantity. The meaning of differentiation is the derivative is the instantaneous rate of change
of a function with respect to one of its variables, or, differentiation is a process of finding
the derivative, or rate of change, of a function. To study more about differentiation, known in
its early history as infinitesimal calculus, is a mathematical discipline focused on limits,
functions, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series. Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm
Leibniz independently discovered calculus in the mid-17th century. Many methods that we
can see in calculus but one of this method is differentiation. This method is to find the
derivative for function at any given point. It is also in Calculus; derivative is the measure of
how a function changes its value as the input changes.

To understand more about this differentiation is to see the application of


differentiation. Application of differentiation was used in many ways and it have five
application that we can see here. Firstly, we can see here is how differentiation was used to
find tangent and normal line in the graph. need to find tangents and normal to curves when
we are analysing forces acting on a moving body. A tangent to a curve is a line that touches
the curve at one point and has the same slope as the curve at that point. A normal to a curve is
a line perpendicular to a tangent to the curve.
Next, the application used to find the true solution and then applying a formula to get
a better guess and so on until we arrive at an acceptable approximation for the solution. If we
wish to find x so that f(x)=0 (a common type of problem), then we guess some initial
value x0 which is close to the desired solution and then we get a better approximation.
Thirdly, application of differentiation also can be used to find the velocity from the
displacement function using:

ds
v=
dt

and the acceleration from the velocity function (or displacement function), using:

ds d 2 s
a= =
dt d t 2

Moreover, when using the differentiation, it can also help to sketch the graph by using
this method. It helps to find the maximum and minimum point and how to know the graph is
concave up or down. Using this method, it become easier to sketch the graph and faster to
know how to interpret the graph.

Thus, this application we can use to find 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 an object. These are very
important in the world of industry.

Finally, we can draw a circle that closely fits nearby points on a local section of a
curve, as follows
We say the curve and the circle osculate, since the 2 curves have the same tangent and
curvature at the point where they meet.

The radius of curvature of the curve at a point is defined as the radius of the


approximating circle. This radius changes as we move along the curve.
2.0 Problem Statement

The problem statement that is:

The old man named Pak Abu. He owns a house in a lovely forest. But one day, a
burglar breaks into his house. Hence, he wants to put fences all around his house. He called a
contractor. The contractor has 1200m of fencing and need to fence off around the house.
What are the dimensions of the house that has largest area?

The second problem statement that is:

There are Encik Bakar. He is a manager of oil industry. Every day he wants to know
the profit of his oil making. So, he is having a problem here and it slow down his work, but
the man named Ite come to help him by teaching him how the easiest way to calculate his
profit. The daily profit P, of an oil refinery is given P = 8x-0.02x 2. Where x is the number of
barrels of oil refined. How many barrels will give maximum profit and what is the maximum
profit?
3.0 Problem Statement

Solution for first problem:

Firstly, we drew a diagram to get a better view of the fencing area.

Next, we wrote every equation that are related to the question. In this case, the
equations are perimeter and area. We simplified the perimeter’s equation to make y as the
subject. Afterwards, we substitute the y into area’s equation. This is because, we need to find
the largest area.
After that, we differentiate the area to get the value of x. Hence, we can find the value
of y after we obtained the value of x.

Lastly, we find the maximum area for the fencing area around the house by using the
area’s equation.
