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 7.1, Problem 75PE

A contractor building eight ocean-front condominiums wants to maximize the view of the ocean for each unit. The side of the building facing the ocean is not built in a straight line parallel to the ocean, but instead is built in a zigzag pattern as shown in the figure. Each condo has a window of length x facing the ocean at an angle of 70° from a line perpendicular to the ocean.

Chapter 7.1, Problem 75PE, A contractor building eight ocean-front condominiums wants to maximize the view of the ocean for
a. Find the length x of each window. Round to the nearest foot.
b. The windows facing the ocean are 8 ft high and x feet wide. By using the zigzag pattern how much more ocean-front viewing area does each window provide than if the windows were parallel to the ocean? Round to the nearest square foot.
