  • Optimization Problem: Minimizing the Perimeter of a Rectangular Pen
    📐 Master Optimization in Calculus with a Rectangular Pen Problem! 📐
    In this video, we tackle an interesting optimization problem: how to design a rectangular pen with an area of 1000 square meters while minimizing its perimeter. This classic problem illustrates how to use calculus to find optimal solutions under constraints.
    What You’ll Learn:
    Understanding the Problem: Discover how we set up the problem with an objective function (the perimeter) and a constraint (the area).
    Setting Up the Functions: Learn how to express the perimeter in terms of one variable using the area constraint.
    Finding the Derivative: We’ll walk through the process of taking the derivative to find critical points and identify the minimum perimeter.
    Interpreting the Results: Understand how to apply the results back to the original problem to find dimensions that minimize the perimeter while meeting the area requirement.
    Why Watch This Video?
    Ideal for Students: Perfect for high school and college students studying calculus and optimization techniques.
    Clear Explanations: Follow along with step-by-step solutions that simplify complex concepts.
    Real-World Applications: Learn how optimization is used in various fields, from architecture to farming.

    Hi all! Please post comments, questions and anything else on your mind in the comment section! While I try to answer as many questions as I can, there are more questions than I can answer by myself so if you are someone who might be able to help, please do so! The community is so much better when everyone is involved and helping each other out. Our strength is our willingness to help each other!
    Also please feel free to like or dislike the video. Your feedback is always appreciated so that hopefully I can make my future videos the best possible! Thanks and happy studies!

      Yes, this video is very good. However, I believe you shouldn't use an "x"(6:18 on the video) to represent multiplication. In video-wise, since there is narration, a person can clearly see which one you mean but on paper, without anyone talking, anyone looking at it is likely to assume that's a variable.

    a critical number is a value in the domain of f that makes f ' either equal to zero or undefined.
    to find what makes a fraction undefined, you set the bottom equal to zero. if that x coordinate is in the domain of the original function, then it is considered a critical number

    i should say, either can work... so long as the second derivative evaluated at a critical number does not equal zero; in that case, you would need to resort back to the first derivative test, which is another reason why i like that one!

    Infact you can replace 1000 with any number Alpha and the answer would still be sq. root of alpha and that leads us to a generalization that minimization of a recatngles perimeter for any given area leads to a square. The interesting question is minimization of area for any given perimeter.... would lead to a circle? It's an interesting one to solve.

    Hi Patrick.
    I'd just like to sincerely thank you for the wonderful range of maths videos. I'm studying engineering at uni over in Australia... Was finding a few concepts hard to grasp in lectures, but they way you explain things makes everything seem a lot more clear. I managed to get 100% in a final exam of a subject with a 35% failure rate, largely due to your explanations ironing out the kinks I had in my understanding.
    So basically, thank you for explaining things better than my lecturer.

    You forgot to mention that another critical point is also -sqrt(1000), because when you take the square root of both sides a negative number is also possible. It didn't matter at the end though, because a negative width is impossible, it was just something that I noticed you forgot about. Great video anyways.

    Amazing how this guy can explain optimization in like 5 steps while my teacher literally fills up both sides of the board on one question. Did what he said and not what my teacher said on a test today and got a C+ (MAJOR improvement for me lol). I'm coming back more often :)

    @dexter127tep what kind of beans are in the can?

  • @fencer5017
    @fencer5017 13 років тому

    @baydood510 the answer is no you could not have because you have to make it so that you are not changing the number itself you see if you have 2x^2/x^2 then it winds up equaling 2 where if you have (2-2000)/x^2 when you separate it out you get 2/x^2 which is a number that does not belong in the equation and you would get a wrong answer. Hope that helps :)

    So he ruled out +/- squareroot 1000 because it can’t be negative when looking for length/height?

    @Master1906 I know that a length can;t be negative but mathematically the square root of 1,000 is (+-). If this was an AP test and someone wrote that x=(+-)the sq.root of 1,000 they would have gotten points off, thereby i feel that he should have mentioned that answer and said that it can only be positive.
