Homework

As stated in the Syllabus:
You are encouraged to start working on any assignment as soon as we have covered some non-trivial part of it in class (i.e., even before it is formally assigned on MyMathLab).
Here is how to know when to stop working on an assignment whose material has not yet been fully covered: 
When you see problems that stop matching any of the examples that we have covered - stop.

                           How much money will the owner of the product *lose* if they keep
                           operating the product for one additional year past the Useful Life (UL)?
                           (In both cases, you need to use an integer number of years for UL.)

Note for all problems:    Present your answer as a decimal with three decimal places.
Note for # 85:               The last sentence has a typo: "income" should be "assets".

Note for # 88:          1) Recall that the total change of any quantity equals the integral of the
                                  rate of change of that quantity over a given time period.
                              2) You must have already done a more general case of this integral in this HW;
                                  all that remains to be done is to substitute the bounds.
Answer for # 16:     -(x-1)*e^(-x) - e^(-x) + C
Answer for # 78:     4/e - 1 = 0.47

Answer for # 12:   no
Answer for # 14:   no  (plot the PDF if you are unsure of this answer)
Note for # 25:       "The first two conditions of the PDF" referred to in the problem statement
                            are those listed on p. 630. In the Notes, they are Properties 1 and 3 on p. 7-7.
Hint for ## 41, 43:   (k*f) must satisfy one of the Properties of the PDF.
Note for # 47:        Make sure that you record your answers in your notebook where you do HW.
                            These answers will be important when we cover sec. 11.4.


HW # 13  (Lec. 7: Probability density function - 2)
(All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via MML.)
Sec. 11.2:   ##  15, 17, 27, 55, 57, 61;  45, 49, 19, 21, 23, 29, 31, 33, 37, 59, 63.

Hint for ## 59, 63:       Part (C) in these problems requires you to first find the CDiF.
                                       Review Ex. 4 in the posted Lecture 7.


HW # 14  (Lec. 8: Mean, Variance, Median - 1)
(All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via MML.)
Sec. 11.3:   ## 5, 17, 19, 13, 14, 49, 51, 35.

Hint for # 13:          For the "prediction" part, think of your intuitive definition of "average".
                              You may also consult the Geometric interpretation of mean on p. 8-9.
Hint for # 14:          Variance and Standard deviation characterize the same property of a
                              random variable (Standard deviation is just the square root of variance).
                              So, what property is that? Find the answer on pp. 8-3,4,
Hint for # 49:          We computed a similar integral near the end of Lec. 7.
Note for # 35:        
This problem will become important when we study Sec. 11.4.

Note for # 47:        You have already done a similar problem in this assignment.
Note for # 53:        See the Note for # 49 in the previous HW.
Note for ## 37-39:  The concept of quartiles is somewhat similar to the concept of median,
                             and quartiles are used in many applications. To clarify:
                             the probability that X is between  min(x)  and  x1  is 0.25;
                             the probability that X is between  x1  and  x2  is 0.25;
                             the probability that X is between  x2  and  x3  is 0.25;
                             the probability that X is between  x3  and  max(x)  is 0.25.
                             So, what is the probability that X is below x1? below x2? below x3?
                   
  
HW # 16  (Lec. 9: Exponential and Normal PDFs - 1 (Exponential and one other))
(All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via MML.)
Sec. 11.4:   ## 3, 39, 71, 73, 79, 65, 66.

Notes for ## 65, 66:  1) Make sure to read a Preamble found just before these problems.
                               2) Review a specific topic about this kind of intergrals in Lecture 6.
Answer for # 66:      Sqrt(p/(p-2))/(p-1); so must have p>2.


HW # 17  (Lec. 9: Exponential and Normal PDFs - 2 (Normal, Numeric problems))
(All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via MML.)
Sec. 11.4:   ## 9, 17, 19, 27, 29, 31, 47, 49, 51, 53, 55--58.

Note for ## 19, 31, 51, 53:   Review Ex. 4 in the Notes.
Note for ## 55--57:              Find the answers conspicously displayed in the Notes.
Answer for # 58:                  No; again, find the explanation in the same place in the Notes.


HW # 18  (Lec. 9: Exponential and Normal PDFs - 3 (Normal, Word problems))
(All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via MML.)
Sec. 11.4:   ## 75, 77, 78, 81, 82, and the reworded # 85 below.
Reworded # 85:
    The instructor grades a test on a curve while assuming that the grades are normally distributed.
The instructor further determines that the average grade for the test is 70 and the standard deviation
is 8. The instructor wants to set grade brackets in such a way that (approximately) 10% of the grades
and A's, 20% are B's, 40% are C's, 20% are D's, and 10% are F's. What should these grade brackets
be? Round the answers to the nearest integer.
(I think I have made it somewhat clearer than in the book, but feel free to read
the book's version as well. Numbers in both versions are the same.)


Note for most of problems:    Review Ex. 4 in the Notes.
Answer for # 78:                   About 1.2%
Answer for # 82:                   About 9.2%
Hint for # 85:                        In all previous problems, you have first found  z  and then, G(z)
                                            from the Table in Appendix C. Here, you will work backwards.
                                            That is:
                                            1) Determine the probability that you want. For example, for the
                                                threshold between C and either B or D, you will take 0.2. (Why?)
                                                And for the threshold between B and A you will take 0.4. (Why?)
                                            2) Find the closest decimal for that probability in the Table; e.g.,
                                                for P = 0.2, it appears to be 0.1985. Then determine which  z
                                                it corresponds to.
                                            3) Using the equation  (s - mu)/sigma = z,  find the score  s.

HW # 20  (Lec. 10: Differential equations - 2 (Setting up a DE; Graphing a solution))
(All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via MML.)
Sec. 9.1:   ##
51, 52, 53,  47, 49.

Answer for # 52:    dP/dt = -k*P, where k is some positive constant (why is it positive?)
Note for # 53:        Think whether your proportionality constant should be positive or negative.
                             For that, recall that the pizza is hotter than the room and decide whether
                             the solution to your DE should increase or decrease. Review the bullet point
                             right before topic 3 on p. 10-5.
Note for ## 47,49:  You must review the graphs of e^{ax} for a>0 and a<0 and know them cold!
                             See Sec. 1.5 or the first page of Lecture 6, for example. Or just find them online.


HW # 21  (Lec. 10: Differential equations - 2 (Setting up a DE; Graphing a solution))
(All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via MML.)
Sec. 9.1:   ## 47, 49, 65, 63, 64.

Note for all problems:   You must do each of them twice:
                                  The first time by the method illustrated in
                                  in Ex. 6(a) and 7(a) in the Notes, and
                                  the other time, by the method illustrated in Ex. 6(b) and 7(b).
                                  And yes, you did ## 47, 49 (by the former method) in HW 20,
                                  but practice makes perfect.
Partial answer for # 64(B):     The respective C values are -1000 and 1000.


HW # 22  (Lec. 11: Separable Differential equations - 1 (Method of solution))
(All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via MML.)
Sec. 9.2:   ## 9, 10, 13, 16;  17, 18, 19, 20;  25, 26, 27, 29;  31, 38, 37.

Note for ## 17 -- 20:          Review topic 0 of Lecture 11.
Note for # 37:                    First write this as an explicitly separable DE.
Answer for # 10:                dS/dt = k*S,  k>0
Answer for # 16:                The amount of drug is decreasing proportionally to
                                         the amount of it left, and initially there is 5 ml of drug.

(All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via MML.)
Sec. 9.2:   ## 11, 15;  59, 75, 63, 65;  71, 72, 73, 74, 68, 82.

Notes for # 65:                      1) Set t=0 in 2010.
                                            2) The rate that the last question of the problem asks for is,
                                                of course, given by the r.h.s. of your differential equation.
Note for ## 71 -- 82 and 68:   All these problems are on the Limited growth/decay model.
                                            So review the corresponding topics in the Lecture.
Hint for # 71:                        What temperature should you include in the r.h.s. of your DE:
                                            500F or 800F, so that it would be the counterpart of the 72F
                                            in the DE of Example 6?
Notes for # 72:                      1) Similarly, here, what temperature should be the counterpart
                                                of the 72F from Example 6?
                                            2) Once you decide on the above question, set up the model
                                                taking into account the fact that the bar is now cooling down
                                                (as opposed to heating).
Notes for # 68:                       1) Set t=0 at the "two years ago" mark.                                 
                                             2) Disregard the question about the rate and its interpretation,
                                                 found towards the end of the problem.

HW # 24  (Lec. 12: Linear differential equations, with application to Mixing)
(All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via MML.)
Sec. 9.3:   ## 23, 25, 26, 27, 29, 35;   69, 71, 72.
Word Problems:
1.   Mortgage repayment problems
(A) Repeat steps of the solution of Ex. 7 in Lecture 11 for the case where the  APR = r = 4.5%
      (i.e., 25% below that in Ex 7). Find the total amount you will pay to the bank.
      Denote M[r] the total amount you pay to the bank with the APR = r.
      Compare  (M[4.5%] - P0)  with  (M[6%] - P0),  where P0 is the principal (same as in Ex. 7).
      Is the former 25% smaller than the latter? Or more than that? Or less than that?
(B) Repeat the assignment of part (A) for r = 7.5% (i.e., 25% higher than that in Ex. 7).
      Answer the same questions as in part (A).
2.   Pollution remediation
(A) Repeat # 69 assuming that the incoming water is fresh (has no pollutants). How many pounds of
      pollutants are in the tank after 2 hours?
(B) Repeat # 71
assuming that the incoming water is fresh (has no pollutants). How many pounds of
      pollutants are in the tank after 2 hours?

 
Notes for all problems in Sec. 9.3:    Review relevant Rules from Theorem 1 in Appendix A.5.

Answer for # 26:                              e^{3x} + C e^{2x}, C=1
Notes for ## 69, 71, 72 and WP2:    1) The capacity of the tank (1000 gal) is not used in these problems.
                                                      2) Recall that the phrase "rate (in pounds per gallon)" at the end
                                                          of problem 69 is a misnomer: The problem is asking about
                                                          concentration, not rate, of pullutants.
                                                      3) It may look like asking you to do two word problems, WP2,
                                                          has significantly increased the amount of work that you need to do.
                                                          Well, it has not. You should realize it soon after you begin doing
                                                          WP2(A).
Hint for WPs 1:                               Find a formula in Ex. 7 that gives  m  as a function of  r.
Answer for # 72:                              m = 300(t+2) - 200/Sqrt[1+(t/2)];  concentr = m/(200+100t)
Answer for WP2(A):                        m = 400/(1 + (t/8))^2;

HW # 25  (Lec. 13: Functions of several variables, and Visualization of functions of 2 variables)
(All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via MML.)
Sec. 7.1:   ## 41;  74, 72(A,B), 66, 67, 68;  57, 58;  33, 34, 62(A,B).


Answer for # 74:     8k,  2500k
Answer for # 66:     5*9*8,  5*4*27
Notes for # 68:        1) The relation between Revenue, Cost and Profit was considered
                                  in one of the class examples.
                              2) Unlike # 67 and a similar Example considered in class, here all quantities
                                  are expressed not in terms of prices, but in terms of the demands of bicycles
                                  (e.g., x=12 means that 12 ten-speed bicycles have been "demanded," i.e., sold).
Answer for # 68:      p=155, q=80, R=2750, P=1300
Answer for # 58:      B=(2,0,0), H=(0,4,3)
Answer for # 34:      25-x-10+12x = 15+11x
Answer for # 62:      (A)  f(x) = const + 10x - x^2, these are downward-facing parabolas
                              (B)  f(y) = const + 25y - 5y^2
, these are also downward-facing parabolas

Sec. 7.2:   ## 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 27, 29;  85, 87 (plus additional assignment), 88, 96, 98
                    39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 71, 73.
Additional assignment for # 87:
Find the Revenue and compute R_p(10,10) and R_q(10,10) and interpret the results.

Note for # 88:         JFYI, unlike in # 87 and class Examples, here the variables are not the prices of,
                              but demands for, the two products.
Note for ## 96, 98:  Review the Rule of thumb on p. 14-7. In view of it, you will not need to substitute
                              the given numeric values of your variables into your answer.

Answer for # 20:     2x - 14y
Answer for # 22:     4x^2 - 10xy
Answer for additional assignment for # 87:
                              R_p(10,10) = 160 =>
                              increasing the price of brand A by from $10/lb to $11/lb while keeping the price
                              of brand B fixed at $10/lb will increase the revenue by $160;
                              R_q(10,10) = 280 =>
                             
increasing the price of brand B by from $10/lb to $11/lb while keeping the price
                              of brand A fixed at $10/lb will increase the revenue by $280
.
Answer for # 88:     R_x(10,5) = 60 =>
                             
an increase in the demand of 10-speed bikes from 10 to 11 per day while
                              the demand of 3-speed bikes stays at 5 per day will increase the revenue by $60;
                              P_x(10,5) = -20 =>
                              the above action will decrease the profit by $20.
Answer for # 96:      Find it in a class Example.
Answer for # 98:      L_w = k*v^2 =>
                              increasing the weight of the car by 1% will increase the skid length by 1%;
                             
L_v = 2k*w*v =>
                             
increasing the speed of the car by 1% will increase the skid length by 2%.
Answer for # 40:      0
Answer for # 42:      18
Answer for # 40:      6*e^{3x+2y}


HW # 27  (Lec. 15: Optimization problems (a.k.a. maxima and minima of functions of 2 variables))
(All problems except those marked in bold red must be done via MML.)
Sec. 7.3:   ## 41, 44(B), Matched Problem (p. 459) for Example 4 (p. 458), # 47.
Word problems:
1.   In # 87 of Sec. 7.2 (see HW 26), find the prices of brands A and B that maximize the revenue.
2.   In a laboratory test, antibiotics A and B are used together to eliminate certain disease-causing bacteria.
      The rate of elimination of the targeted bacteria  f(x,y) = xy - 2x^2 - y^2 + 110x + 60y, where
      x  and  are amounts of antibiotics A and B in milligrams. Find the amounts of the two medicines
      that will maximize the antibiotic effect (i.e., maximize the rate  f(x,y)  of bacteria elimination).
3.   Subjects in a psychology experiment who practice for their Calculus exam for  x  hours and then
      rest for  y  hours are found to achive an exam score of 
f(x,y) = 2xy - 4x^2 - y^2 + 22x - 4y + 65
      (on average). Find the numbers of hours of practice and rest that would maximize the expected
      exam score.

General note for all problems:
You must perform the 2nd-derivative test to verify that the solution you found is indeed a maximum
or a minimum, as required in each problem.
