If z= 4xy ln (3x+ 9y)find z
y
Determine the critical points of f(x, y) = 4x2+ 2x–y2+ 2y and also determine by the
second–derivative test whether each point corresponds to a relative maximum, to a relative
minimum, to neither, or whether the test gives no information.
An empirical formula relating the surface area A (in square inches) of an average human
body to the weight w (in pounds) and the height h (in inches) of the person is A(w, h) =
15.64w0.425h0.725.
Find 2A
hw(105, 64) and 2A
w2(105, 64) .
A company manufactures two products, X and Y, and the joint–cost function for these
products is given by c=x x + 4y, where c is the total cost of producing x units of X and y
units of Y. Determine the marginal cost with respect to x when x= 36 and y= 16.
Determine the critical points of f(x, y) = 3x2+ 4y2– 2x+ 8y and also determine by the
second–derivative test whether each point corresponds to a relative maximum, to a relative
minimum, to neither, or whether the test gives no information.
A company manufactures two products, X and Y, and the joint–cost function for these
products is given by c= 0.002(x+y)2+x+ 0.25y+ 8000, where c is the total cost of
producing x units of X and y units of Y. Determine the marginal cost with respect to x
when x= 450 and y= 550.
