Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You have the following expression given in the problem above:
2. You can estimate the result by rounding the numerator and the denominator.
3. As you can see, you can round up 97.5 to 100.
4. Then, you can round up 1.96 to 2.
5. Therefore, you have:
6. Therefore, the result is 5.
Looks like .
The latter two critical points occur outside of since
so we ignore those points.
The Hessian matrix for this function is
The value of its determinant at (0, 0) is , which means a minimum occurs at the point, and we have
.
Now consider each boundary:
which has 3 extreme values over the interval of 31/4 = 7.75 at the point (1, 1/2); 8 at (1, 1); and 10 at (1, -1).
and we get the same extrema as in the previous case: 8 at (-1, 1), and 10 at (-1, -1).
which doesn't tell us about anything we don't already know (namely that 8 is an extreme value).
which has 3 extreme values, but the previous cases already include them.
Hence has absolute maxima of 10 at the points (1, -1) and (-1, -1) and an absolute minimum of 0 at (0, 0).
