 Page 6 / 10

Use the problem-solving strategy for finding absolute extrema of a function to find the absolute extrema of the function

$f\left(x,y\right)=4{x}^{2}-2xy+6{y}^{2}-8x+2y+3$

on the domain defined by $0\le x\le 2$ and $-1\le y\le 3.$

The absolute minimum occurs at $\left(1,0\right)\text{:}$ $f\left(1,0\right)=-1.$

The absolute maximum occurs at $\left(0,3\right)\text{:}$ $f\left(0,3\right)=63.$

## Chapter opener: profitable golf balls

Pro- $\text{T}$ company has developed a profit model that depends on the number x of golf balls sold per month (measured in thousands), and the number of hours per month of advertising y , according to the function

$z=f\left(x,y\right)=48x+96y-{x}^{2}-2xy-9{y}^{2},$

where $z$ is measured in thousands of dollars. The maximum number of golf balls that can be produced and sold is $50,000,$ and the maximum number of hours of advertising that can be purchased is $25.$ Find the values of $x$ and $y$ that maximize profit, and find the maximum profit.

Using the problem-solving strategy, step $1$ involves finding the critical points of $f$ on its domain. Therefore, we first calculate ${f}_{x}\left(x,y\right)$ and ${f}_{y}\left(x,y\right),$ then set them each equal to zero:

$\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill {f}_{x}\left(x,y\right)& =\hfill & 48-2x-2y\hfill \\ \hfill {f}_{y}\left(x,y\right)& =\hfill & 96-2x-18y.\hfill \end{array}$

Setting them equal to zero yields the system of equations

$\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill 48-2x-2y& =\hfill & 0\hfill \\ \hfill 96-2x-18y& =\hfill & 0.\hfill \end{array}$

The solution to this system is $x=21$ and $y=3.$ Therefore $\left(21,3\right)$ is a critical point of $f.$ Calculating $f\left(21,3\right)$ gives $f\left(21,3\right)=48\left(21\right)+96\left(3\right)-{21}^{2}-2\left(21\right)\left(3\right)-9{\left(3\right)}^{2}=648.$

The domain of this function is $0\le x\le 50$ and $0\le y\le 25$ as shown in the following graph.

${L}_{1}$ is the line segment connecting $\left(0,0\right)$ and $\left(50,0\right),$ and it can be parameterized by the equations $x\left(t\right)=t,y\left(t\right)=0$ for $0\le t\le 50.$ We then define $g\left(t\right)=f\left(x\left(t\right),y\left(t\right)\right)\text{:}$

$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill g\left(t\right)& =f\left(x\left(t\right),y\left(t\right)\right)\hfill \\ & =f\left(t,0\right)\hfill \\ & =48t+96\left(0\right)-{y}^{2}-2\left(t\right)\left(0\right)-9{\left(0\right)}^{2}\hfill \\ & =48t-{t}^{2}.\hfill \end{array}$

Setting ${g}^{\prime }\left(t\right)=0$ yields the critical point $t=24,$ which corresponds to the point $\left(24,0\right)$ in the domain of $f.$ Calculating $f\left(24,0\right)$ gives $576.$

${L}_{2}$ is the line segment connecting  and $\left(50,25\right),$ and it can be parameterized by the equations $x\left(t\right)=50,y\left(t\right)=t$ for $0\le t\le 25.$ Once again, we define $g\left(t\right)=f\left(x\left(t\right),y\left(t\right)\right)\text{:}$

$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill g\left(t\right)& =f\left(x\left(t\right),y\left(t\right)\right)\hfill \\ & =f\left(50,t\right)\hfill \\ & =48\left(50\right)+96t-{50}^{2}-2\left(50\right)t-9{t}^{2}\hfill \\ & =-9{t}^{2}-4t-100.\hfill \end{array}$

This function has a critical point at $t=-\frac{2}{9},$ which corresponds to the point $\left(50,-\frac{2}{9}\right).$ This point is not in the domain of $f.$

${L}_{3}$ is the line segment connecting $\left(0,25\right)\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\text{and}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\left(50,25\right),$ and it can be parameterized by the equations $x\left(t\right)=t,y\left(t\right)=25$ for $0\le t\le 50.$ We define $g\left(t\right)=f\left(x\left(t\right),y\left(t\right)\right)\text{:}$

$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill g\left(t\right)& =f\left(x\left(t\right),y\left(t\right)\right)\hfill \\ & =f\left(t,25\right)\hfill \\ & =48t+96\left(25\right)-{t}^{2}-2t\left(25\right)-9\left({25}^{2}\right)\hfill \\ & =\text{−}{t}^{2}-2t-3225.\hfill \end{array}$

This function has a critical point at $t=-1,$ which corresponds to the point $\left(-1,25\right),$ which is not in the domain.

${L}_{4}$ is the line segment connecting $\left(0,0\right)\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\text{to}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\left(0,25\right),$ and it can be parameterized by the equations $x\left(t\right)=0,y\left(t\right)=t$ for $0\le t\le 25.$ We define $g\left(t\right)=f\left(x\left(t\right),y\left(t\right)\right)\text{:}$

$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill g\left(t\right)& =f\left(x\left(t\right),y\left(t\right)\right)\hfill \\ & =f\left(0,t\right)\hfill \\ & =48\left(0\right)+96t-{\left(0\right)}^{2}-2\left(0\right)t-9{t}^{2}\hfill \\ & =96t-{t}^{2}.\hfill \end{array}$

This function has a critical point at $t=\frac{16}{3},$ which corresponds to the point $\left(0,\frac{16}{3}\right),$ which is on the boundary of the domain. Calculating $f\left(0,\frac{16}{3}\right)$ gives $256.$

We also need to find the values of $f\left(x,y\right)$ at the corners of its domain. These corners are located at $\left(0,0\right),\left(50,0\right),\left(50,25\right)\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\text{and}\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\left(0,25\right)\text{:}$

$\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill f\left(0,0\right)& =\hfill & 48\left(0\right)+96\left(0\right)-{\left(0\right)}^{2}-2\left(0\right)\left(0\right)-9{\left(0\right)}^{2}=0\hfill \\ \hfill f\left(50,0\right)& =\hfill & 48\left(50\right)+96\left(0\right)-{\left(50\right)}^{2}-2\left(50\right)\left(0\right)-9{\left(0\right)}^{2}=-100\hfill \\ \hfill f\left(50,25\right)& =\hfill & 48\left(50\right)+96\left(25\right)-{\left(50\right)}^{2}-2\left(50\right)\left(25\right)-9{\left(25\right)}^{2}=-5825\hfill \\ \hfill f\left(0,25\right)& =\hfill & 48\left(0\right)+96\left(25\right)-{\left(0\right)}^{2}-2\left(0\right)\left(25\right)-9{\left(25\right)}^{2}=-3225.\hfill \end{array}$

The maximum critical value is $648,$ which occurs at $\left(21,3\right).$ Therefore, a maximum profit of $\text{}648,000$ is realized when $21,000$ golf balls are sold and $3$ hours of advertising are purchased per month as shown in the following figure.

Do somebody tell me a best nano engineering book for beginners?
what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.

after 100 year this will be not nanotechnology maybe this technology name will be change . maybe aftet 100 year . we work on electron lable practically about its properties and behaviour by the different instruments

name doesn't matter , whatever it will be change... I'm taking about effect on circumstances of the microscopic world

Hello
Uday
I'm interested in Nanotube
Uday
this technology will not going on for the long time , so I'm thinking about femtotechnology 10^-15
Prasenjit
can nanotechnology change the direction of the face of the world
At high concentrations (>0.01 M), the relation between absorptivity coefficient and absorbance is no longer linear. This is due to the electrostatic interactions between the quantum dots in close proximity. If the concentration of the solution is high, another effect that is seen is the scattering of light from the large number of quantum dots. This assumption only works at low concentrations of the analyte. Presence of stray light.
