Explanation Result used: Let the partial derivatives f x x , f y y and f x y of the function z = f ( x , y ) exists in the circular region contained in the xy -plane with center ( a , b ) and f x ( a , b ) = 0 , f y ( a , b ) = 0 and the discriminant D = f x x ( a , b ) ⋅ f y y ( a , b ) − [ f x y ( a , b ) ] 2 . (a) The function has relative maximum at ( a , b ) if D > 0 and f x x ( a , b ) < 0 . (b) The function has relative minimum at ( a , b ) if D > 0 and f x x ( a , b ) > 0 . (c) If D < 0 , then f ( a , b ) is a saddle point (neither a maximum nor a minimum) (d) If D = 0 , then the test fail. Calculation: The given labor cost function is, L ( x , y ) = 3 2 x 2 + y 2 − 2 x − 2 y − 2 x y + 68 . Calculate the partial derivative of the above function with respect to x . L x ( x , y ) = ∂ ∂ x ( 3 2 x 2 + y 2 − 2 x − 2 y − 2 x y + 68 ) = ∂ ∂ x ( 3 2 x 2 ) + ∂ ∂ x ( y 2 ) − ∂ ∂ x ( 2 x ) − ∂ ∂ x ( 2 y ) − ∂ ∂ x ( 2 x y ) + ∂ ∂ x ( 68 ) = 3 2 ( 2 x ) + 0 − 2 − 0 − 2 y + 0 = 3 x − 2 − 2 y Again, take the partial derivative of the function L x ( x , y ) with respect to x . L x x ( x , y ) = ∂ ∂ x ( L x ( x , y ) ) = ∂ ∂ x ( 3 x − 2 − 2 y ) = ∂ ∂ x ( 3 x ) − ∂ ∂ x ( 2 ) − ∂ ∂ x ( 2 y ) = 3 That is, L x x ( x , y ) = 3 (1) Calculate the partial derivative of the function P ( x , y ) with respect to y . L y ( x , y ) = ∂ ∂ y ( 3 2 x 2 + y 2 − 2 x − 2 y − 2 x y + 68 ) = ∂ ∂ y ( 3 2 x 2 ) + ∂ ∂ y ( y 2 ) − ∂ ∂ y ( 2 x ) − ∂ ∂ y ( 2 y ) − ∂ ∂ y ( 2 x y ) + ∂ ∂ y ( 68 ) = 0 + 2 y − 0 − 2 − 2 x = 2 y − 2 − 2 x Again, take the partial derivative of the function L y ( x , y ) with respect to y

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 …
