Solution. We used Maple and got the following graph

where the green curves represent the contour lines of f(x,y) and from left to right, its value increases. The red one is the circle defined by

Since we need to find the minimization of f(x,y) under a constraint . So, by the above graph, we can estimate the ...

  • "Your solution, looks excellent. I recognize things from previous chapters. I have seen the standard deviation formula you used to get 5.154. I do understand the Central Limit Theorem needs the sample size (n) to be greater than 30, we have 100. I do understand the sample mean(s) of the population will follow a normal distribution, and that CLT states the sample mean of population is the population (mean), we have 143.74. But when and WHY do we use the standard deviation formula where you got 5.154. WHEN & Why use standard deviation of the sample mean. I don't understand, why don't we simply use the "100" I understand that standard deviation is the square root of variance. I do understand that the variance is the square of the differences of each sample data value minus the mean. But somehow, why not use 100, why use standard deviation of sample mean? Please help explain."

  • Residues, essential singularities and integrals

    Now, there is only one singularity outside the contour in the z-plane, that is the point at infinity. This moved to w = 0 under the conformal map, and we only had to evaluate the residue there.

  • Integral from x = 0 to infinity

    We now consider the integral of z^a/(z^2 + 1)^2 dz along the above defined contour. This function has a branch point singularity at z = 0, but this is not located inside the contour.

  • Integrate 1/(1 + x^a) from zero to infinity

  • Contour integral involving branch point singularity

    The contour cannot cross branch cuts and the contour cannot contain branch point singularities.

    Next, we go from R + pi/a i to -R + pi/a i, and finally we go back to the starting point by moving from -R + pi/a i to the point -R.

  • Computing the integral of sin(x)/x, minus infinity to infinity

    At the point of the splitting a singularity will arise at z = 0, so this must be avoided, but that can be done at the start. So, let's try now from the start and see if we can get to a computation of the integral.
