Week 15 Assignment

Problem 1

Find the equation of the regression line for the given points. Round any final values to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

( 5.6, 8.8 ), ( 6.3, 12.4 ), ( 7, 14.8 ), ( 7.7, 18.2 ), ( 8.4, 20.8 )

We can use R to find the regression line by putting the points into a matrix and fitting a regression model on the data.

x <- c(5.6,6.3,7,7.7,8.4)
y <- c(8.8, 12.4, 14.8, 18.2, 20.8)

lm_model <- lm(y~x)

intercept <- round(coef(lm_model)[1], 2)
slope <- round(coef(lm_model)[2], 2)

# Print the equation of the regression line
cat("y =", slope, "*x +", intercept)
## y = 4.26 *x + -14.8

Problem 2

Find all local maxima, local minima, and saddle points for the function given below. Write your answer(s) in the form ( x, y, z ). Separate multiple points with a comma.

\(f(x,y) = 24x-6xy^2-8y^3\)

First find the partial derivatives:

\(f_x = 24-6y^2\)

\(f_y=-12xy - 24y^2\)

Now set the partial derivatives equal to 0 to get the critial points:

\(24-6y^2=0\)

\(24=6y^2\)

\(y= \pm 2\)

Now plug into the other equation to get the x values:

For y = 2

\(-12x(2) - 24(2)^2=0\)

\(-24x-96=0\)

\(x = -4\)

For y = -2

\(-12x(-2) - 24(-2)^2=0\)

\(24x - 96 = 0\)

\(x = 4\)

So the two critical points are (4,-2) and (-4, 2)

Now to find out what kind of critial points they are find the second partial derivatives:

\(f_{xx}=0\)

\(f_{xy}=-12y\)

\(f_{yy} = -12x - 48y\)

\(f_{yx} = -12y\)

Now construct the Hessian matrix and compute its determinant:

\[ \begin{bmatrix} f_{xx} & f_{xy} \\ f_{yx} & f_{yy} \\ \end{bmatrix} \]

So we get:

\[ \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -12y \\ -12y & -12x-48y \\ \end{bmatrix} \]

The determinant is equal to: \((0)(-12x-48y)-(-12y)(-12y)= -144y^2\)

Now the point (-4,2):

\(-144(2)^2=-576\)

Since its negative this is a saddle point.

Now the point (-4,2):

\(-144(2)^2=-576\)

Since this one is also negative it is also a saddle point.

Problem 3

A grocery store sells two brands of a product, the “house” brand and a “name” brand. The manager estimates that if she sells the “house” brand for x dollars and the “name” brand for y dollars, she will be able to sell 81 - 21x + 17y units of the “house” brand and 40 + 11x - 23y units of the “name” brand.

Step 1. Find the revenue function R ( x, y ).

Step 2. What is the revenue if she sells the “house” brand for 2.30 and the “name” brand for 4.10?

Step 1

Revenue is equal to the number of units sold times the price of each unit

Let x = price of house brand product

Let y = price of name brand product

So, the revenue function is equal to:

\(R(x,y) = x(81-21x+17y) + y(40 + 11x -23y)\)

Step 2

To find the revenue if the house brand is 2.30 and the name brand is 4.10 we plug into our revenue function

\(R(2.30, 4.10) = 2.30(81-21(2.30)+17(4.10)) + 4.10(40+11(2.30)-23(4.10)) = 116.62\)

Problem 4

A company has a plant in Los Angeles and a plant in Denver. The firm is committed to produce a total of 96 units of a product each week. The total weekly cost is given by \(C(x,y) = \frac{1}{6}x^2 + \frac{1}{6}y^2 + 7x + 25y +700\), where x is the number of units produced in Los Angeles and y is the number of units produced in Denver. How many units should be produced in each plant to minimize the total weekly cost?

x = The number of units sold in LA

y = The number of units sold in Denver

We know that x + y = 96

So then, y = 96 - x

Now we can substitute in for y:

\(C(x) = \frac{1}{6}x^2 + \frac{1}{6}(96-x)^2+7x+25(96-x) + 700\)

\(C(x)= \frac{1}{6}x^2 + \frac{1}{6}(9216 - 162x + x^2) -18x + 3100\)

\(C(x) = \frac{1}{3}x^2 - 50x+4636\)

Now to find the minimum find the derivative with respect to x

\(C'(x) = \frac{2}{3}x-50=0\)

\(\frac{2}{3}x=50\)

\(x=75\)

Since x = 75 then y = 96-75 y = 21

To minimize the total weekly cost they should produce 75 units in LA and 21 in Denver

Problem 5

Evaluate the double integral on the given region.

\(\int_2^4 \int_2^4 (e^{8x+3y}) \, dy \, dx\)

First evaluate the inner integral:

\(\int_2^4 e^{8x+3y} dy = 8x \int_2^4 e^{3y} dy\)

\(= \frac{1}{3} e^{3y} |_2^4 = \frac{1}{3} e^{12y} - \frac{1}{3}e^6\)

Now the outer integral:

\(\int_2^4 e^{8x}(\frac{1}{3}e^{12} - \frac{1}{3}e^6) dx\)

\((\frac{1}{3}e^{12} - \frac{1}{3}) \int_2^4 e^{8x} dx = (\frac{1}{3}e^{12} - \frac{1}{3}) (\frac{1}{8}e^{8x})|_2^4 (\frac{1}{3}e^{12} - \frac{1}{3}) (\frac{1}{8}e^{32}-\frac{1}{8}e^{16})\)

\((\frac{1}{3}e^{12} - \frac{1}{3}) (\frac{1}{8}e^{32}-\frac{1}{8}e^{16})= \frac{1}{24}(e^{44}- e^{28}-e^{38}+e^{22})\)
