Question Number 104046 by mathocean1 last updated on 19/Jul/20
To do normally his commercial  activities in some place situated at 150km  from him, a driver use a car. the consumption  of gazoil in liters for 10 km is defined by:  C(v)=((20)/v)+(v/(45)) where v is the speed of car.  How should be the speed of car to reduce  minimally the consumption of gazoil?

C(v)=((20)/v)+(v/(45))≥2(√(((20)/v)×(v/(45))))=(4/3)  minimum is at ((20)/v)=(v/(45)), i.e. v=(√(20×45))  =30  he should drive with speed 30.  don′t ask me 30 mph or 30 km/h,  because you didn′t give the unit of  v in C(v).
$${C}\left({v}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{20}}{{v}}+\frac{{v}}{\mathrm{45}}\geqslant\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{20}}{{v}}×\frac{{v}}{\mathrm{45}}}=\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$${minimum}\:{is}\:{at}\:\frac{\mathrm{20}}{{v}}=\frac{{v}}{\mathrm{45}},\:{i}.{e}.\:{v}=\sqrt{\mathrm{20}×\mathrm{45}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{30} \\ $$$${he}\:{should}\:{drive}\:{with}\:{speed}\:\mathrm{30}. \\ $$$${don}'{t}\:{ask}\:{me}\:\mathrm{30}\:{mph}\:{or}\:\mathrm{30}\:{km}/{h}, \\ $$$${because}\:{you}\:{didn}'{t}\:{give}\:{the}\:{unit}\:{of} \\ $$$${v}\:{in}\:{C}\left({v}\right). \\ $$

Please sir can detail or explain this first line: C(v)=((20)/v)+(v/(45))≥2(√(((20)/v)×(v/(45))))=(4/3)

my sorry is about this :  C(v)=((20)/v)+(v/(45))≥2(√(((20)/v)×(v/(45))))=(4/3)  i′m not understanding...

for any positive numbers a and b,  we have always  ((a+b)/2)≥(√(ab))  the equal sign is when a=b.

you can also do like this:  C(v)=((20)/v)+(v/(45))  such that C(v) is minimum,  (dC/dv)=−((20)/v^2 )+(1/(45))=0  ⇒v=(√(20×45))=30
$${you}\:{can}\:{also}\:{do}\:{like}\:{this}: \\ $$$${C}\left({v}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{20}}{{v}}+\frac{{v}}{\mathrm{45}} \\ $$$${such}\:{that}\:{C}\left({v}\right)\:{is}\:{minimum}, \\ $$$$\frac{{dC}}{{dv}}=−\frac{\mathrm{20}}{{v}^{\mathrm{2}} }+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{45}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{v}=\sqrt{\mathrm{20}×\mathrm{45}}=\mathrm{30} \\ $$

thank you very much sir!
