OPTIMISATION PROBLEMS page 538
There are many problems for which we need to find the maximum or minimum value of a function. We can solve such problems using differential calculus techniques. The solution is often referred to as the optimum solution and the process is called optimisation.

CONTINUE ... Sometimes the variable to be optimised is in the form of a single square root function. In these situations it is convenient to square the function and use the fact that if A > 0, the optimum value of A(x) occurs at the same value of x as the optimum value of [A(x)]2 .
