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 …

Students have asked these similar questions
1. Show that the vector field F(x, y, z) = (2x sin ye³)ix² cos yj + (3xe³ +5)k satisfies the necessary conditions for a conservative vector field, and find a potential function for F.
1. Newton's Law of Gravitation (an example of an inverse square law) states that the magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects with masses m and M is |F| mMG |r|2 where r is the distance between the objects, and G is the gravitational constant. Assume that the object with mass M is located at the origin in R³. Then, the gravitational force field acting on the object at the point r = (x, y, z) is given by F(x, y, z) = mMG r3 r. mMG mMG Show that the scalar vector field f(x, y, z) = = is a potential function for r √√x² + y² . Fi.e. show that F = Vf. Remark: f is the negative of the physical potential energy, because F = -V(-ƒ).
2. Suppose f(x) = 3x² - 5x. Show all your work for the problems below.
