5.7 Optimization Problems<br />

Many important applied problems involve finding the best way to accomplish some task. Often this involves<br />

finding the maximum or minimum value of some function: the minimum time to make a certain<br />

journey, the minimum cost for doing a task, the maximum power that can be generated by a device, and so<br />

on. Many of these problems can be solved by finding the appropriate function and then using techniques<br />

of calculus to find the maximum or the minimum value required.<br />

Generally such a problem will have the following mathematical form: Find the largest (or smallest)<br />

value of f (x) when a ≤ x ≤ b. Sometimesa or b are infinite, but frequently the real world imposes some<br />

constraint on the values that x may have.<br />

Such a problem differs in two ways from the local maximum and minimum problems we encountered<br />

when graphing functions: We are interested only in the function between a and b, and we want to know<br />

the largest or smallest value that f (x) takes on, not merely values that are the largest or smallest in a<br />

small interval. That is, we seek not a local maximum or minimum but a global (or absolute) maximum or<br />

minimum.
