i)a+b=20,ab=max⇒a=b=10  or:  f(a)=a(20−a)=20a−a^2   df/da=20−2a=0⇒a=10=b  ii)f(a)=a^2 +(20−a)^2 =2a^2 −40a+400  df/da=4a−40=0⇒a=10=b.  iii)f(a)=a^2 +(20−a)^3 or a^3 +(20−a)^2   ⇒df/da=[2a−3(20−a)^2 ]or [3a^2 −2(20−a)]  1)2a−3(400−40a+a^2 )=0  3a^2 −122a+1200=0  a=((122±(√(122^2 −4×3×1200)))/6)=((122±22)/6)=22,16.6  a=16.6,b=3.4  2)3a^2 −2(20−a)=0⇒3a^2 +2a−40=0  a=((−2±(√(4+3×4×40)))/6)=((−2±22)/6)=−4,3.3  a=3.3,b=16.7
