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 8.1, Problem 33E

PRICE-TO-EARNINGS Ratio The current PE ratio (price-toearnings ratio) of a stock is defined as

R = P E

where P is the current market price of a single share of the stock and E is the earnings per share for the most recent 12-month period.

  1. a. What is the domain of the function R?
  2. b. The earnings per share of IBM Corporation for 2011 were $13.09, and its price per share on March 19, 2012 was $205.56. What was the P/E ratio of IBM at that time?
