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 …

Two parallel tangents 10 m apart are connected by a reversed curve. The chord length from the P.C. to the P.T. equals 120 m. Rounding off shall be done at the final calculation. Express your answer into two decimal places and do not type the units. Determine the following: 1. length of tangent with common direction in meters 2. equal radius of the reversed curve in meters. 3. stationing of PC if the stationing of PI(1) at the beginning of the tangent with common direction is at 3+420. 4. stationing of PRC 5. stationing of PT.
If (x,y) is a point on the unit circle in quadrant 2 and if x= -1/2, what is y? Y=?
