Question 6. Given a function z = f (x, y) = x3 + 3x2 + 4xy + y 2 . Which of the following state-
ments is true?
A f attains minimum at (0, 0). B f attains maximum at (0, 0).

Question 7. Determine for what values of m, the following system has infinite solutions
x + y + z = 1
x−y+z =2 .
x + 2y + mz = 3
is the technical coefficients matrix, where m ∈ R is a parameter. Assume that the production
level of the second sector is 150, and it requires 30 units from the first sector. Calculate the total
value of input materials of the second sector.
A 85. B 95. C 105. D 115.
Problem 2 (1.5 marks): The product function of a firm is defined q = f (k, ℓ) = 4ℓ0.4 k 0.6 , where q
is output, ℓ is the number of units of labor and k is the number of units of capital. Subject to the
budget constraint 5ℓ + 4k = 200, find the largest possible output level by using the Lagrange
multiplier method.
Problem 3 (1.5 marks): Find the general solution of the differential equation y ′′ − 2y ′ = e2x .
