    Trends and Forecasting : Writing and Using Difference Equations

    1. Consider a savings account started with an initial deposit of y(0) dollars. The interest rate is r percent per annum and the interest is compounded every month. The depositor is allowed to make additional deposits every month, say, u(1), u(2), u(3), and so on. Write a difference equation that will model the balance at the end

    Complex : Maximum and Minimum Moduli

    Find the maximum and the minimum moduli of the function on the set . (Upper half of the closed unit disc around the origin). Find all points where these maximum and minimum are attained. Please see the attached file for the fully formatted problems.

    Maximum and Minimum theorem

    Prove: A continuous mapping T of a compact subset M of a metric space X into assumes a maximum and a minimum at some points of M.

    Optimization

    If a company has m hours of machine time and w hours of labor, it can produce 3m^(1/3)w^(2/3) units of a product. Currently, the company has 216 hours of machine time and 1,000 hours of labor. An extra hour of machine time costs $100, and an extra hour of labor costs $50. If the company has $100 to invest in purchasing addition

    Fire department staffing schedule optimization

    A fire dept. says that they must have full time firemen work on different days of the week. they must have 10 on mon, 11 on tues, 12 on wed, 13 on thurs, 14 on fri, 15 on sat and 16 on sun . each fireman must work 5 (any 5) consecutive days and then have two days off. but sometimes they can work one day a week OT. each fireman i

    Transportation, Transshipment, and Assignment Problem

    I need help trying to find the answer. I have tried about 20 different constraints and all of them are wrong. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Some of the constraints that I have tried are x4 + x6 = 175 and x6 + 0 = 175 just to give you an idea of the way that I am thinking. Evidently it is wrong. Please guide me in the

    Determining Maximum Profit

    Sue and Joan are making cloth pins for a craft show. They have enough fabric to make at most 40 giraffe pins and 80 frogs. They know they will be able to sell at least 20 giraffes and 60 frogs. However, they have time to make only a total of 110 pins. If their is $4.90 for each giraffe and $1.25 for each frog, what is their maxi

    Forcasting Models and Multiple Regression

    Study Question dealing with forcasting models using mutiple regression, holts method, simple exponential smoothing, and the winters method to make predictions. (See attached file for full problem description) --- a. Use this data and multiple regression to make predictions for the motel chain's sales during the next 4 qua

    Optimization

    Specify whether the following statements are true or false and justify your answer. a) Suppose we have an optimal basic feasible solution for an LP in standard form. If we increase the cost of a non-basic variable xn, the current solution will always remain optimal. b) Suppose we have an optimal basic feasible solution for

    Optimization for fencing a storage yard

    The management of a large store has 800 feet of fencing to fence in a rectangular storage yard using the building as one side of the yard. If fencing is used for the remaining sides, find the area of the largest possible yard. A long sheet of metal, one foot wide(12 inc) is to be turned up at both sides to make a horizontal g

    Optimization Problems/ Newtons Method

    --- 4) Find a positive number such that the sum of the number and its reciprocal is as small as possible 6) Find the dimensions of a rectangle with area 1000m^2 whose perimeter is as small as possible 10) A box with square base and open top must have a volume of 32,000cm^3. Find the dimensions of the box that minimize

    Max/min/crit point values

    (See attached file for full problem description) --- 1) Let F(x) = 2√X - X A. Find the local maximum and minimum values of F (x) in the interval [0,9] B. Determine whether F(x) satisfies al the conditions of MVT in the interval [0,9]. If f(x) satisfies the condition of MVT determine the 'c' value that satisfies the co

    Optimization Problem using Excel add-in Solver

    This problem requires the use of Excel and the add-in, called Solver. The course is Excel-based and Solver is the optimization application used for all problems. This particular problem comes from Cliff Ragsdales's " Spreadsheet Modeling and Decisoin Analysis" and is case problem 6.3. The problem appears in this text box an

    Proof of Dual using Farkas Lemma (PhD)

    Hello, Could you please help me to prove this using Farkas Lemma? Well, I initially thought that I can use Farkas Lemma, but if it is impossible to use the lemma (though I do belive it will help), you might try other way. Thank you! --- (See attached file for full problem description)
