PART 1
a) i) Mathematical optimization
An act, process or methodology of making something
( as a design, system or decision) as a fully perfect,
functional or effective as possible using mathematical
theory or concept, specifically the mathematically
procedures (finding the maximum of a function).
ii) Global maximum
A global maximum is also known as absolute
maximum, the largest overall value of a set, function
and more over its entire range.
Global minimum
A global minimum is also known as absolute
minimum, the smallest overall value of a set, function
and more over its entire range.
iii) Local maximum
It can be also expressed as Relative Maximum. It is
the greatest value in a sets of points but not the
highest when compared to all values in a set. The sets
of points can be global maximum.
Example:
b) Example 1:
y=x 2 + x+ 1
y=x 22 x + 4
