CLik fOR fULL mArks OPTIMISATION....100% GUARANTueD Flashcards
How to tell the equation is optimisation…. flip if you want to find out. (fool proof)
You will be faced with an equation, and will be asked to form another, using an unknown value within the equation.
what do i do with the unknown value? ….flip… this is important!
Using other quantities in the question, rearrange to form an equation for the unknown value.
i have the formula for the unknown…..now what?….
If you dont flip you will get 10 years of bad luck.
Lay out all the quantities required to form the new equation, then substitute your rearranged value for the unknown quantity wherever neccesary.
I GOT IT ….BUT WAIT…THERES STILL MORE MARKS TO GET….. WHAT DO I DO???????? when asked to find the minimum value of the equation formed.
Differentiate, equate to 0, find value of x (or whatever letter it may be).
Then, substitute the value of x (or wateva) into the equation you formed earlier.
There’s more…don’t lose faith…..
THIS IS A MOTIVATION CARD:

Now they want to know if its a maximum value or a minimum value :-( wot do i do? FLIP
find the second derivative, substitue the value X (or wateva) into the second derivative, if this value is positive than it means is a minimum …. if this value is negative it is a maximum.
