Document Summary

Basic steps of an optimization problem: draw and label the picture of the problem, find a formula for the objective function, identify constraints to eliminate extra variables, find the interval of interest, find the absolute max/min using calculus. Thin if cont f has exactly one local hit on it is automatically a global hit interval: find the point on the graph of ! = $ which is closest to the point (4,0). Ft: a rectangular pool with an area of 50 m2 is surrounded by a wooden walkway 1 m wide on one pair of opposite sides, and 2 m wide on the other two sides. What dimensions of the pool minimize the area of the walkway? t. iedxiiio. Oatylocalext sglobalmin: a metal gutter is made by folding a 9 in piece of metal. The gutters have a 3 in base and two 3 in sides folded up at an angle. A 3 3 660 3sino tz 6 6ado 3 0.
