Document Summary
Monday, november 4 lecture 21 : optimization problems (refers to section 4. 7 in your text) Students who have mastered the content of this lecture know about: optimization problem and how they relate to absolute max and min of a function. Students who have practiced the techniques presented in this lecture will be able to: solve various optimization problems. Introduction finding extreme values of functions is a procedure which will help solve certain types of problems encountered in everyday situations. We will study these types of problems here, practice interpreting them using mathematical language, and use our mathematical skills to answer questions related to the described situations. The problems we will discuss are known as optimization problems . They are sometimes referred to as max-min problems . 21. 1 example a farmer has 2400 meters of fencing and wants to fence off a rectangular field that borders a straight river.
