Real Mathematical Analysis, Pugh, 5.29 : Prove Corollary18 that r^th-order differentiability implies symmetry of D^rf, r ≥ 3. Use induction to show that (D^rf)_p (v₁,.....,v_r) is symmetric with respect to permutations of v₁,...,v_r−1 and of v₂,...,v_r. Then take advantage of the fact that r is strictly greater than 2. (Please provide a formal proof. Thanks)

Corollary 18: The r^th derivative, if it exists, is symmetric: Permutation of the vectors v₁,...,v_r does not affect the value of (D^rf)_p(v₁,...,v_r). Corresponding mixed higher-order partials are equal.

Problem 1.      Smoke Sensors, Inc. (SSI), is experiencing a tremendous growth in demand for its household smoke detectors. SSI produces both an AC model and a battery-operated model. It has an opportunity to be the exclusive supplier for a major department store chain, The Seers Company. Seers wishes to receive at least 20,000 AC models and 10,000 battery-operated models each week.

SSI's unanticipated prosperity has left it short of sufficient capacity to satisfy the Seer's contract over the short run. However, there is a subcontractor who can assist SSI by supplying the same types of smoke detectors. SSI must decide how many units it will make of each detector and how many units it will buy from the subcontractor. Data below summarize the production, price, and cost parameters.

Model

(hours per unit)

The subcontractor can supply any combination of battery or AC models up to 20,000 units total each week. The cost per unit to SSI is $21.50 and $20.00, respectively, for the AC and battery models. The contract with Seers calls for SSI to receive $25.00 for each AC model and $29.50 for each battery model.

Hint: Table below shows the possibilities.

1. Formulate the LP model which would allow SSI to determine the number of units of each type to produce and to buy to maximize total profit.
2. Use solver to solve the problem. Give the values of the decision variables, slacks, and the value of the objective function.

Two chemicals A and B are combined to form a chemical C. The rate of the reaction is proportional to the product of the instantaneous amounts of A and B not converted to chemical C. Initially there are 15 grams of A and 32 grams of B, and for each gram of B, 1.7 grams of A is used. It has been observed that 11.75 grams of C is formed in 15 minutes. How much is formed in 40 minutes? What is the limiting amount of C after a long time ?
