Home -> Solved problems -> a+b=20, find the maximum value of a²b
Solution
\[
\begin{aligned}
a+b&=20 \\\\
b&=20-a \\\\
a^2 b&=a^2(20-a) \\\\
&=20 a^2-a^3\\\\
f(a) & =-a^3+20 a^2 \\\\
f^{\prime}(a) & =-3 a^2+40 a \\\\
& =a(-3 a+40)\\\\
f^{\prime}(a)&=0 \\\\
a&=0\\\\
\text {or}\\\\
a&=\frac{40}{3} \simeq 13,33\\\\
& a=13 \text { and } b=7 \Rightarrow a^2 b=13^2 \cdot 7=1183 \\\\
& a=14 \text { and } b=6 \Rightarrow a^2 b=14^2 \cdot 6=1176\\\\
& \text { Thus, The maximum value of}\text { } a^2 b \text { is } 1183
\end{aligned}
