The maximum value of xy when x + 2y = 8 is - Vidyadip

MCQ

The maximum value of $xy $ when $x + 2y = 8$ is

A
$20$
B
$16$
C
$24$
✓
$8$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

$8$

d
(d) $x + 2y = 8$, $y = \frac{{8 - x}}{2}$

Now $f(x) = xy = x.\frac{{(8 - x)}}{2} = 4x - \frac{{{x^2}}}{2}$

$\therefore $ $f'(x) = 4 - x$

For extremum,$f'(x) = 0$

$\therefore $ $x = 4$ and $ y = 2.$

Also $f''(x) = - 1 < 0$

So, maximum value of $xy = 4 \times 2 = 8$.
