The total cost to hand–produce x large dolls and y small dolls is given by
C(x,y) = 2x2+ 5y2+ 4xy + 20. If a total of 20 dolls must be made, how should production be
allocated so that the total cost is minimized?
Make 10 large dolls and 10 small ones
Make 20 large dolls and 0 small ones
Make 0 large dolls and 20 small ones
Make 19 large dolls and 1 small one
Find the partial derivative.
Let z = f(x, y) =4(x +4y –3)2. Find z
y.
f(x,y) =2x + 3x2y2– 4y2. Find fx(x, y).
If (a,b) is a critical point in the interior of the domain of f(x,y) and if
H = fxx(a,b) fyy(a,b) –fxy(a,b) 2, then f has a local minimum at (a,b) if
(i) H > 0 and fxx(a,b) > 0.
(ii) H > 0 and fxx(a,b) < 0.
(iii) H < 0.
(i), (ii), and (iii) are all incorrect.
