Provide solution for RD Sharma maths class12 Chapter Maxima and Minima exercise 17.5 question 43.
S =9
Hint: For maximum or minimum value of S, we must have
Given:
The equation of line passing through (1,4) with slope m is given by
........(1)
Solution:
Sub (y=0) value in eqn (1)
Sub (x=0) value in eqn (1)
So the intercepts coordinates axes are
Sum is minimum at m = 2
So the sum is maximum at m = -2
Thus,
