These valves rust be Mghly heat and provoure resistant and the company has developed a three-slage production process thal will provide the valves with the necessary properties involving work in three different charnbers, Civamber 1 provides the necessary pressure resistance and can process valves fort 200 mainte week, Chamber 2 provides heal resistance and can process valves of 950 week, Chamber 3 tests the valves and can work {300 minules per vieek The the types and the time in minutes required in each chamber are E - Valve Type amt A 5 7 4 8 3 2 10 cs 2cte 4 5 The government will buy all the valves that can be produced and the cornpany vill receive the following profit margins on each valve: A, $15: B, 315.5. and C. 310 ‘Scanned th canseamneti. How many valves of each type should the company produce each week in order to maximize profits? ii, What is the maximum profit? 3 Consider the function, /(x) = 01+ 0.14 <#5, Use the Fibonacci search method to iF find the value of x that minimizes the function over the range [-0 4, 0 2). Locale this value to within a tolerance of 0,03 7%. The function {(x) = e*+2-Cos(x) has a minimum value vathin [-4, 2] Use the golden section elimination method to find the minimum to yathin 0.008. /© Find and classify the critical points of the functions: ; ay) ) fae ty Sey a ) fan xt 4 Oryx? + 3? we ve 6 a) Using Lagrange’s method of undetermined multipliers, find the dimensions of an sone rectangular box, that will give a maximum capacity given thal the surface area 1s 432 em’ b) A company manufactures cylindrical metal drums with open tops with a volume of 4 m® What should be the dimensions of the drum in order to use the feast amount of metal in their production? 7.
