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 …

The graph of f(x) is given below. Select each true statement about the continuity of f(x) at x = 1. Select all that apply: ☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because it is not defined at x = 1. ☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because lim f(x) does not exist. x+1 ☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because lim f(x) ‡ f(1). x+→1 ☐ f(x) is continuous at x = 1.

A homeware company has been approached to manufacture a cake tin in the shape of a "ghost" from the Pac-Man video game to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of the games launch. The base of the cake tin has a characteristic dimension / and is illustrated in Figure 1 below, you should assume the top and bottom of the shape can be represented by semi-circles. The vertical sides of the cake tin have a height of h. As the company's resident mathematician, you need to find the values of r and h that minimise the internal surface area of the cake tin given that the volume of the tin is Vfixed- 2r Figure 1 - Plan view of the "ghost" cake tin base. (a) Show that the Volume (V) of the cake tin as a function of r and his 2(+1)²h V = 2
