Minimization
In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…
Maxima and Minima
The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.
Derivatives
A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …
Concavity
In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

A rug company weaves rugs that are made by repeating the design in Figure 12.49. Lengths of portions of the design are indicated in the figure. The yarn for the shaded portion of the design costs $5 per square unit, and the yarn for the unshaded portion of the design costs $3 per square unit. How much will the yarn for a 60-unit-by-84-unit rug cost? Explain your reasoning.
Consider an economy with three sectors, Chemicals & Metals, Fuels & Power, and Machinery. Chemicals sells 30% of its output to Fuels and 60% to Machinery and retains the rest. Fuels sells 70% of its output to Chemicals and 20% to Machinery and retains the rest. Machinery sells 40% of its output to Chemicals and 30% to Fuels and retains the rest. Complete parts (a) through (c) below a. Construct the exchange table for this economy. Distribution of Output from: Chemicals Fuels Machinery (Type integers or decimals.)
