Document Summary

Calculus 1000a lecture 33 section 4. 7 optimization problems. Midterm marks have been sent out- check owl or school email; quiz 3 available for pickup. Optimization problems are applications of finding maximum and minimum values and the various methods learned in this chapter thus far. The following examples demonstrate the kind of single-variable problems we will be given in this course. Example 1: a farmer has to build a fence with 2400 feet of fencing. The fence will border a straight river, so there will be three sides of fencing. In this example, we will demonstrate the use of each: closed interval method. In this method, we have to find our interval: next, we will find the critical points using the derivative of the function is theoretically possible) Example 2: a window has a shape of a semicircle on top of a rectangle.
