Minimization
In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…
Maxima and Minima
The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.
Derivatives
A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …
Concavity
In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

Chapter 13.1, Problem 73E

Exercises 71–76 use the results of Exercises 69 and 70.

A piece of chalk is tossed vertically upward by Prof. Schwarzenegger and hits the ceiling 100 feet above with a BANG.

a. What is the minimum speed at which the piece of chalk must have been thrown to enable it to hit the ceiling?

b. Assuming that Prof. Schwarzenegger in fact tossed the piece of chalk up at 100 ft/sec, how fast was it moving when it struck the ceiling?

c. Assuming that Prof. Schwarzenegger tossed the chalk up at 100 ft/sec, and that it recoils from the ceiling with the same speed it had at the instant it hit, how long will it take the chalk to make the return journey and hit the ground?

2. A light shines from the top of a pole 20 m high. A ball is falling 10 meters from the pole, casting a shadow on a building 30 meters away, as shown in the figure. When the ball is 27 meters from the ground it is falling at 7 meters per second. How fast is its shadow moving?
.... At wind speeds above 1000 centimeters per second (cm/sec), significant sand-moving events begin to occur. Wind speeds below 1000 cm/sec deposit sand and wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move sand to new locations. The cyclic nature of wind and moving sand determines the shape and location of large dunes. At a test site, the prevailing direction of the wind did not change noticeably. However, the velocity did change. Sixty-two wind speed readings gave an average velocity of x = 1075 cm/sec. Based on long-term experience, o can be assurhed to be 250 cm/sec. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean wind speed at this site. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.) lower limit cm/sec upper limit cm/sec (b) Does the confidence interval indicate that the population mean wind speed is such that the sand is always moving at this site? Explain. O No. This interval Indicates that the population mean wind speed is such that the sand may not always be moving at this…
