Q

Is a parabola or a function with relative min or max a one to one?

A

No because the curve makes it not one to one (ie fails horizonal line test). Saddle points would mean its a one to one

Q

How do you find out if two functions are inverse functions using the composition property?

A

Plug one function into the other function for x, and then vice versa. If you get the same answer both times, they are inverse functions.

Q

What do you do when you have to solve for consumer surplus

A

Find the integral of the top functions over the interval and multiply it by the x and y values of the market equilibrium point (the poiint where the two functions equal each other)

For the producer surplus, we use the bottom function for the integral and We subtract it from the xy value (known as xe and pe) because its believed that the consumer surplus is derived by paying a lower than equilibrium price. Thus, the producer surplus is derived by taking xepe - the integral (the vice versa) because economists define producer surplus as the value derived by the producer chsrging a lower price

Q

How to find critical points

A

Find the derivative. Then find what the denominator equals at zero AND what the numerator equals at zero. or if its factoraboe, what the factors (of the derivative!) are are at zero. To get the y, plug the x back into the original

Q

Does this function have any critical points? 1/x?

A

No. So doesnt 1/(x+1) or things that look like that because apparently it can easily become a zero as a denominator.

Q

How do you find the largest possible product? Of x and y?

A

Fiind the constraint so you can represent y or x in terms of the other term. Then find the vertex -b/2a , which gives you your value and then plug that back into the thing they need you to find (eg sum or product)

Q

What do they do when they ask you to maximize revenue?

A

Revenue is usually x*p, and p is the price or the demand function while x is the #of items.

So multiply p by x, find the derivative, then find what x is at the max (meaning set it to zero)

Formula for producer surplus

A

Xepe * integral of supply

(Xepe found by setting both equations equal to each other, solving for x, then plugging x into one of the equations for p)

A

Intrgral of demand - xepe

Xepe found by equaling both euations to each other, solving for x and then plugging x into either for p

Q

Let y = 5 x^2. Find the change in y, \Delta y when x= 1 and \Delta x = 0.3 Find the differential dy when x= 1?
Let y = 5x^2.

Find the change in y, ∆y when x= 1 and ∆x = 0.3

Find the differential dy when x= 1 and dx = 0.3
Follow 1 answer Report Abuse

A

Best Answer: ∆y = 5(x + ∆x)^2 - 5x^2
= 5(x^2 + 2x∆x + ∆x^2) - 5x^2
= 5(2x∆x + ∆x^2)
= 10x∆x + 5∆x^2

So when x = 1 and ∆x = 0.3,
∆y = 1010.3 + 5*(0.3^2)
= 3 + 0.45
= 3.45

dy = 10x dx

So when x = 1 and dx = 0.3,
dy = 1010.3
= 3

Note: I have given you the answer you evidently wanted, but strictly speaking, dx and dy are differentials (infinitely small quantities) and as such cannot have real number values.

Q

What do you do with that delta y stuff?

A

Every time you see an x, replace wth x+delta x, and at the end of that, subtract the original equation

42
Q

What is the chain rule for derivatives

A

Dy/du * du/dx

Basically if you have e^2x,you first find u which is 2x then find du which is 2. Then you take your y which is now e^u and find rhe derivstive of tht which is just e^u. Then you multiply your du with your dx. So yu get 2*e^u and then you plug in 2x for u.

43
Q

What is the derivstive of 4e^u?

A

4e^u

Nothing happens to the constant

44

How to calculate actual change?

A

F(b) -f(a) on the interval a,b

How calculare average rateof change

A

(F(b) - f(a)) /(b-a)

47
Q

What does closed interval mean?

A

Does include endpoints

48
Q

What does open interval mean?

Does not include endpoints

49
Q

When you see those interval problems what do you do?

A

Q

Wat do you do when you see solve for dy/dx = somethig?

A

Multiply both sides by dx

Find the integral

53
Q

How do you tell if a function is increasing or decreasing?

A

Use the first derivative test. If the derivative is positive on that interval, it is increasing and if the derivative is negative on that interval, it is decreasing.
