a.
To decipher whether the function has a maximum or minimum value.
a.

Answer to Problem 15CYU
The given function has a maximum value.
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
The function provided is
For the function
Since the coefficient of ‘a’ is negative, the curve of this function is downward facing and hence the function has a maximum value.
b.
To determine the maximum or minimum value of the given function.
b.

Answer to Problem 15CYU
The function is maximum at 6 .
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
The function provided is
Formula used :
Formula to compute the x-coordinate of the vertex is
Calculation :
Since the coefficient of ‘a’ is negative, the curve of this function is downward facing and hence the function has a maximum value.
X-coordinate of the vertex is
Formula for axis of symmetry.
Putting the values of ‘a’ and ‘b’ .
Simplifying
Vertex can be found out by putting the value of x computed in the axis of symmetry in the original function. This will give a value of y , that will be the maximum.
Putting the value of
Simplifying the expression.
Thus, the maximum is at 6 .
c.
To calculate the domain and range for the given function.
c.

Answer to Problem 15CYU
The domain is all real numbers, that is,

Simplifying the expression.
Thus, the maximum is at 6 .
Since x can take up any real values, the range is
Since the domain is the values of y, it can only take up values lesser than or equal to the maximum. That is,

Your task is to project the plane Π onto the subspace W.First, answer the question of what the projection matrix is that projects onto the subspace W and how toapply it to find the desired projection. Second, approach the task in a different way by using the Gram-Schmidtmethod to find an orthonormal basis for subspace W, before then using the resulting basis vectors for theprojection.
