To find: who is correct and why.
Answer to Problem 2CFU
Tomas is correct because there can be more than 1 vertex that gives a maximum.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The statement given by Marcel and Tomas are as follows:
Marcel: There is only one vertex that will yield a maximum for any given function.
Tomas: If the numbers are correct, there could be two vertices that yield the same maximum.
Calculation:
Plot the graph for the inequalities given below.
Look at the given inequalities and the resulting vertices; there are in fact 2 solutions that provide the same maximum. The maximum for
Thus, Tomas is correct.
