Prove that if a Function f(x) is defined in the interval of a < x < b and has relative minimum at x=x*, where a < x* < b, and if the derivative df(x)/dx =f(x) exists as as finite number as x= x*, then f(x)=0 Write down the necessary & sufficient conditions for Multivariable unconstraint optimization. A helical spring is to carry a load of 500 kN. Formulate a problem for finding a Wire diameter (d) and coil diameter (D), and number of turens (N), for minimum weight by limiting the deflection 0.1 mm and the shear stress to 250 N/mm 2. In addition, the natural frequency of vibration is to be greater than 100 Hz. The stiffness of spring(k), the shear stress() and the natural frequency if vibration is (fn) are given by:
