4. Which statements are true of optimization? Select one or more: a. It is a general mathematical tool and can be used not only in portfolio optimization but many business problems b. When applied in real world setting we often use computers to estimate the optimum numerically rather than doing calculus by hand c. One of the earliest applications of optimization to business problems is Augustin Cournot's 1838 duopoly pricing model d. Optimization can only ever be as effective as the description of the objective function e. The selection of the FOC at zero is an arbitrary choice but allows for the identification of inflection (turning points) in the objective function f. When optimizing by hand you differentiate the objective function with respect to the control variables of the economic entity at hand
Sumo et al. (2022) wrote about “The Role of Extension Services in Supporting Rural Farmers in Developing Countries". This review of the literature discusses the function of development programs in assisting smallholder farmers in rural areas of emerging nations. The analysis discovers that by giving farmers the information and abilities required to boost productivity, get access to markets, and adopt sustainable agricultural methods, extension services can play a critical role in assisting them in coping with rising food prices. The review emphasizes the significance of adjusting value addition to smallholder farmers' needs, by employing interactive approaches, offering services in local languages, and involving women and other minority communities. 1.

Is my solution correct and did I fully answer the questions? (see attachment for my solution) Question: There are three factories on Momiss River. Each emits two types of pollutants, labeled P1 and P2, into the river. If the waste from each factory is processed, the pollution in the river can be reduced. It costs $1,500 to process a ton of factory 1 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.10 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.45 ton. It costs $2,500 to process a ton of factory 2 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.20 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.25 ton. It costs $3,000 to process a ton of factory 3 waste, and each ton processed reduces the amount of P1 by 0.40 ton and the amount of P2 by 0.50 ton. The state wants to reduce the amount of P1 in the river by at least 125 tons and the amount of P2 by at least 175 tons. a. Use Solver to determine how to minimize the cost of reducing pollution by the desired amounts. Are the LP assumptions…
