1 Prove that the golden ratio is 1.618 in golden section search method. (03)
2 Test the constraints (active or inactive) for a given function using (04)
Kuhn-Tucker conditions.
(𝑥1 − 8)2 + (𝑥2 − 6)2
Constraints:
a. 𝑥1 + 𝑥2 ≥ 9
b. 𝑥1 + 𝑥2 ≥ 18

3 Formulate the unconstrained problem from the given constrained (03)

optimization problem using penalty function method. Given the
function f(x) and constraints h(x) and g(x).

4 What is the difference between deterministic and stochastic (02)

optimization techniques?
5 With an illustration, explain how to build a surrogate model. (03)
