Extra credits

Problem:



Solution:

$f'(x) = 3ax^2 + 2bx + c$
$f''(x) = 6ax + 2b$

The point of inflection has x coordinate -1, therefore

$6a(-1) + 2b = 0$

The extremas has x coordinate 1 and -3, therefore, 1 and -3 are the roots of  $3ax^2 + 2bx + c = 0$

$3a + 2b + c = 0$
$3a(-3)^2 + 2b(-3) + c = 0$.

The three equations tell us $b = 3a, c = -9a$.

So the equation is $f(x) = ax^3 + 3ax^2 - 9ax + d$

When x = 1, $f(x) = a + 3a - 9a + d = -5a + d = -9$
When x = -1, $f(x) = -a + 3a + 9a + d = 11a + d = 23$

Therefore $a = 2, d = 1$

The final answer is $2x^3 + 6x^2 - 18x + 1$

Point of inflection

Problem:



Solution:

The point of inflection is where the second derivative is 0, so we compute the second derivative as follow:

$f'(x) = -3x^2 + 18x - 4$
$f''(x) = -6x + 18$

Therefore the point of inflection has x coordinate 3, the y coordinate is $-(3)^3 + 9 \times 3^2 - 4 \times 3 - 1 = 119$

The curve is concave up in $(-\infty, 3)$ and is concave down in $(3, \infty)$.

Solid

Problem:



Solution:

Minimize $4\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h$ subject to $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 + \pi r^2 h = 6$.

The Lagrangian is $4\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h - \lambda(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 + \pi r^2 h - 6)$.

The partial derivatives must be 0, so we have

$8\pi r + 2\pi h - \lambda (4 \pi r^2 + 2\pi r h) = 0$
$2 \pi r - \lambda(\pi r^2) = 0$

The second equation implies $\lambda = \frac{2}{r}$.

Substitute this back to the first equation, solving get $h = 0$.

This seems reasonable because we know sphere maximize volume and minimize surface area, it only make sense if the cylindrical part vanish.

So it is simple now, $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = 6$, $r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{9}{2\pi}} = 1.127251652$.

Farmer knew Lagrangian optimization!

Problem:



Solution:

Minimize x + 2y subject to xy = 405000

The Lagrangian is

$L(x, y, \lambda) = x + 2y + \lambda(xy - 405000)$

The partial derivatives must be 0, so we get

$1 + \lambda y = 0$
$2 + \lambda x = 0$

Multiply the first equation by $x$ and multiply the second equation by $y$ gives $x - 2y = 0$.

In other words, $x = 2y$, so $xy = 2y^2 = 405000$, $y = 450, x = 900$.

Limit

Problem:



Solution:

$\frac{x^n - a^n}{x-a} = \frac{(x - a)(x^{n - 1} + ax^{n-2} + .. + a^{n-1})}{x - a} =  (x^{n - 1} + ax^{n-2} + .. + a^{n-1})$

Therefore $\lim\limits_{x \to a}\frac{x^n - a^n}{x-a} = \lim\limits_{x \to a} (x^{n - 1} + ax^{n-2} + .. + a^{n-1}) = na^{n-1}$.
