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 …

Chapter 2.3, Problem 20E

BREAK-EVEN POINTS AND MAXIMIZATION

Assume that sales revenues for Continental Divide

Mining can be modeled by

R ( t ) =   − 0.031 t 2 +   0.776 t   +   0.179

where t is the number of years past 2003.

(a) Use the function to determine the year in which maximum revenue occurs and the maximum revenue it predicts.

(b) Check the result from (a) against the data in the table.

(c) Graph R(t) and the data points from the table.

(d) Write a sentence to describe how well the function fits the data.

2. Use Broyden's method to solve the nonlinear system x² + y²+sin(x + y) x+y+cos(xy) = a = = 5 where a is the number formed by the first two digits of your SUID. Try at least two different starting points (or more, if needed to find a solution). Report the outcome of running the method for each starting point. Was the root you found always the same?
The correct answer is Ccould you show me how to do it by finding a0 and and akas well as setting up the piecewise function and integrating
This is an example only. What can be a simialr equation with differnet numbers using logs and can have a mistake in one of the steps and what will be the correct way to solve it. Thanks
