A Max/Min problem with an unknown constant 2016-01-17
Guido pose la question :
Question:

The deflection D of a particular beam of length L is

D = 2x^4 - 5Lx^3 + 3L^2x^2

where x is the distance from one end of the beam. Find the value of x that yields the maximum deflection.

A maximization problem 2012-04-09
Nancy pose la question :
After an injection, the concentration of drug in a muscle varies according to a function of time, f(t). Suppose that t is measured in hours and f(t)=e^-0.02t - e^-0.42t. Determine the time when the maximum concentration of drug occurs.

An optimization problem 2010-05-23
Marina pose la question :
Hello, I have an optimization homework assignment and this question has me stumped..I don't even know

A hiker finds herself in a forest 2 km from a long straight road. She wants to walk to her cabin 10 km away and also 2 km from the road. She can walk 8km/hr on the road but only 3km/hr in the forest. She decides to walk thru the forest to the road, along the road, and again thru the forest to her cabin. What angle theta would minimize the total time required for her to reach her cabin?
I'll do my best to copy the diagram here:

                             10km
Hiker_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Cabin

Maximize revenue 2008-10-08
Donna pose la question :
A university is trying to determine what price to charge for football tickets. At a price of 6.oo/ticket it averages 70000 people per game. For every 1.oo increase in price, it loses 10000 people from the average attendance. Each person on average spends 1.5o on concessions. What ticket price should be charged in order to maximize revenue. price = 6+x, x is the number of increases.
ticket sales = 70000- 10000x
concession revenue 1.5(70000 - 10000x)
I just do not know what to do with the concession part of this equation (6+x) x (70000 - 10000x) I can understand but not the concession part please help. thx.

How much labor should the firm employ? 2006-10-28
Christy pose la question :
A dressmaking firm has a production function of Q=L-L(squared)/800. Q is the number of dresses per week and L is the number of labor hours per week. Additional cost of hiring an extra hour of labor is $20. The fixed selling price is P=$40. How much labor should the firm employ? What is the resulting output and profit? I am having a difficult time with this, HELP!

The box of maximum volume 2006-02-01
Elizabeth pose la question :
A box factory has a large stack of unused rectangular cardboard sheets with the dimensions of 26 cm length and 20 cm width.
The question was to figure what size squares to remove from each corner to create the box with the largest volume.
I began by using a piece of graph paper and taking squares out. I knew that the formula L X W X H would give me volume. After trial and error of trying different sizes I found that a 4cm X 4cm square was the largest amount you can take out to get the largest volume. My question for you is two parts

First: Why does L X H X W work? And second, is their a formula that one could use, knowing the length and width of a piece of any material to find out what the largest possible volume it can hold is without just trying a bunch of different numbers until you get it. If there is, can you explain how and why it works.
