Minimization
In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…
Maxima and Minima
The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.
Derivatives
A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …
Concavity
In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

Chapter 7, Problem 6P

Write a user-defined MATLAB function that converts torque given in units of N-m to torque in units of lb-ft. For the function name and arguments, use 1bft = NmTOlbft (Nm). The input argument Nm is the torque in N-m, and the output argument lbft is the torque in lb-ft (rounded to the nearest integer). Use the function to convert 2000 N-m to units of lb-ft.
