🧠:<think>Okay, so I have this problem about a rural area development officer evaluating a mining project. There are two sub-problems here. Let me try to tackle them one by one.Starting with Sub-problem 1. The mining project is expected to generate an annual revenue R(t) = 50 * ln(t + 1), where t is the number of years since the project started. The community gets a fixed percentage p% of this revenue. They need at least 10 million every year starting from the second year. I need to find the minimum p such that this condition is satisfied every year from t=1 onwards.Hmm, okay. So, the revenue function is R(t) = 50 * ln(t + 1). The community fund is p% of R(t), so that would be (p/100) * R(t). They need this to be at least 10 million each year starting from the second year, which is t=1.Wait, so starting from t=1, the community fund should be >=10 million. So, for t >=1, (p/100)*50*ln(t + 1) >=10.Let me write that down:(p/100) * 50 * ln(t + 1) >=10Simplify this inequality:Multiply both sides by 100: p * 50 * ln(t + 1) >=1000Divide both sides by 50: p * ln(t + 1) >=20So, p >=20 / ln(t + 1)But this needs to be true for all t >=1. So, p needs to be greater than or equal to 20 / ln(t + 1) for all t >=1.To find the minimum p, I need to find the maximum value of 20 / ln(t + 1) for t >=1. Because p has to satisfy the inequality for all t >=1, so p must be at least as large as the maximum of 20 / ln(t + 1).So, let's analyze the function f(t) = 20 / ln(t + 1) for t >=1.What's the behavior of f(t) as t increases? As t increases, ln(t + 1) increases, so f(t) decreases. That means the maximum value of f(t) occurs at the smallest t, which is t=1.So, let's compute f(1):f(1) = 20 / ln(2) ≈20 / 0.6931 ≈28.85So, the maximum value of 20 / ln(t + 1) is approximately 28.85 when t=1.Therefore, p must be at least approximately 28.85%. Since p must be a whole number percentage, we might need to round up to 29%.Wait, but let me check for t=2:f(2) =20 / ln(3) ≈20 /1.0986≈18.19Which is less than 28.85, so as t increases, f(t) decreases. So, the maximum is indeed at t=1.Therefore, the minimum p is approximately 28.85%, which we can write as 29% if we need an integer percentage.But the question says "the minimum value of p", so maybe we can leave it as a decimal? Let me check.Wait, 20 / ln(2) is exactly 20 divided by ln(2), which is approximately 28.8539%.So, if we can express p as a decimal, it's about 28.85%, but if we need a whole number, then 29%.But the problem doesn't specify whether p needs to be an integer or not. It just says a fixed percentage p%. So, maybe we can present it as 20 / ln(2) %, but that's an exact expression.Alternatively, we can compute it numerically. Let me compute 20 / ln(2):ln(2) ≈0.6931471805620 / 0.69314718056 ≈28.853900816So, approximately 28.8539%.So, the minimum p is approximately 28.85%, so if we need to present it as a percentage, we can write 28.85%.But let me think again. The community needs at least 10 million every year starting from the second year, which is t=1. So, the first year is t=0, which is the starting point, but the community starts receiving from t=1 onwards.So, for t=1, the revenue is R(1)=50*ln(2)≈50*0.6931≈34.655 million.So, the community gets p% of that, which is p% of 34.655 million. They need at least 10 million, so p must satisfy:(p/100)*34.655 >=10So, p >= (10 /34.655)*100≈28.85%Same result. So, that's consistent.Therefore, the minimum p is approximately 28.85%.So, I think that's the answer for Sub-problem 1.Moving on to Sub-problem 2.The environmental impact is quantified by a pollution index I(t) =100*(1 - e^{-0.05t}), where t is the number of years since the project started. The officer needs to ensure that the pollution index does not exceed 75 at any point in time. So, we need to find the maximum number of years T such that I(T) <=75.So, set up the inequality:100*(1 - e^{-0.05T}) <=75Divide both sides by 100:1 - e^{-0.05T} <=0.75Subtract 1:-e^{-0.05T} <= -0.25Multiply both sides by -1 (which reverses the inequality):e^{-0.05T} >=0.25Take natural logarithm on both sides:ln(e^{-0.05T}) >= ln(0.25)Simplify left side:-0.05T >= ln(0.25)Compute ln(0.25). Since ln(1/4)= -ln(4)≈-1.386294361So,-0.05T >= -1.386294361Multiply both sides by -1 (which reverses the inequality again):0.05T <=1.386294361Divide both sides by 0.05:T <=1.386294361 /0.05≈27.72588722So, T must be less than or equal to approximately 27.7259 years.But since T is the number of years, and we can't have a fraction of a year in this context, we need to take the floor of this value, which is 27 years.Wait, but let me check. If T=27, then I(27)=100*(1 - e^{-0.05*27})=100*(1 - e^{-1.35})Compute e^{-1.35}≈0.2592So, I(27)=100*(1 -0.2592)=74.08, which is less than 75.If T=28, then I(28)=100*(1 - e^{-0.05*28})=100*(1 - e^{-1.4})Compute e^{-1.4}≈0.2466So, I(28)=100*(1 -0.2466)=75.34, which is greater than 75.Therefore, T must be 27 years.So, the maximum number of years the project can operate without surpassing the pollution index threshold is 27 years.Wait, but let me double-check the calculation.Compute 0.05*27=1.35e^{-1.35}= approximately e^{-1}=0.3679, e^{-1.35}= e^{-1} * e^{-0.35}≈0.3679*0.7047≈0.2592So, 1 -0.2592=0.7408, times 100 is 74.08, which is less than 75.Similarly, 0.05*28=1.4e^{-1.4}= approximately e^{-1}=0.3679, e^{-0.4}=0.6703, so e^{-1.4}=0.3679*0.6703≈0.24661 -0.2466=0.7534, times 100 is 75.34, which is above 75.Therefore, T=27 is the maximum number of years.So, the answer is 27 years.Wait, but let me think again. The problem says "the maximum number of years T that the mining project can operate without surpassing the pollution index threshold."So, if T=27, the pollution index is 74.08, which is below 75. So, it's acceptable.If T=27.7259, the pollution index would be exactly 75. But since we can't have a fraction of a year, we have to take the integer part, which is 27.Alternatively, if the project can operate for 27 full years, and in the 28th year, the pollution index would exceed 75, so the project must stop at 27 years.Therefore, the maximum T is 27 years.So, summarizing:Sub-problem 1: Minimum p is approximately 28.85%, which can be rounded to 29% if needed.Sub-problem 2: Maximum T is 27 years.I think that's it. Let me just recap to make sure I didn't miss anything.For Sub-problem 1, the key was to realize that the required p must satisfy the condition for all t >=1, and since the function 20 / ln(t +1) is decreasing, the maximum occurs at t=1, giving p≈28.85%.For Sub-problem 2, solving the inequality led us to T≈27.7259, which we rounded down to 27 years since partial years aren't counted.Yes, that seems correct.Final AnswerSub-problem 1: The minimum value of ( p ) is boxed{28.85%}.Sub-problem 2: The maximum number of years ( T ) is boxed{27}.</think>

🧠:<think>Alright, so I need to tackle these two problems related to prime numbers and elliptic curves for developing a cryptographic algorithm. Let me start with the first one.Problem 1: Function f(x) = x² + x + 41First, I need to demonstrate that this function outputs prime numbers for x from 0 to 39. Hmm, I remember hearing about this function before—it's famous for generating a lot of primes in a row. But I should verify it for a few values to be sure.Let me compute f(x) for x = 0, 1, 2, 3, and maybe 40 just to see what happens.- For x = 0: f(0) = 0 + 0 + 41 = 41. That's prime.- For x = 1: 1 + 1 + 41 = 43. Prime.- For x = 2: 4 + 2 + 41 = 47. Prime.- For x = 3: 9 + 3 + 41 = 53. Prime.- For x = 4: 16 + 4 + 41 = 61. Prime.Okay, seems to hold for the first few. But how do I know it continues up to x = 39? Maybe I can look for a pattern or a mathematical reason why this function generates primes.I recall that this is related to Euler's famous prime-generating polynomial. It's known that f(x) = x² + x + 41 produces primes for x from 0 to 39. The reason is that 41 is a prime number, and the quadratic form is constructed in such a way that it avoids factors for these values of x. But I'm not entirely sure about the exact reasoning. Maybe it's because 41 is a Heegner number, which relates to the class number of imaginary quadratic fields. But I don't remember the specifics.Anyway, since it's a well-known result, I can probably cite that f(x) generates primes for x from 0 to 39. So, that part is done.Now, the next part is estimating the probability that f(40) is also prime. Let's compute f(40):f(40) = 40² + 40 + 41 = 1600 + 40 + 41 = 1681.Wait, 1681. Is that a prime number? Hmm, I think 1681 is 41 squared because 40² is 1600, so 41² is 1681. Let me check: 41 * 41 = 1681. Yes, that's correct. So f(40) is 41², which is definitely not prime. So, the probability that f(40) is prime is zero.But wait, the question says to estimate the probability using knowledge of prime distributions and advanced number theory. Maybe I should consider the general probability that a number around that size is prime, even though in this specific case, it's composite.The prime number theorem tells us that the probability that a random number n is prime is approximately 1 / ln(n). So, for n = 1681, ln(1681) is approximately ln(1600) since 1681 is close to 1600.Calculating ln(1600): ln(1600) = ln(16 * 100) = ln(16) + ln(100) = 2.7726 + 4.6052 = 7.3778. So, the probability is roughly 1 / 7.3778 ≈ 0.1356, or about 13.56%.But wait, since 1681 is a perfect square, it's definitely not prime. So, the actual probability is zero. But maybe the question is asking for the probability without knowing it's a square. Hmm, the question says "using the knowledge of prime number distributions and advanced number theory," so perhaps they expect the 1 / ln(n) estimate.But in reality, since f(40) is 41², it's definitely composite, so the probability is zero. Maybe I should mention both—the general probability and the specific case.But the question says "estimate the probability," so perhaps they just want the general estimate. So, approximately 13.56%, or 1 / ln(1681).Wait, let me compute ln(1681) more accurately. 1681 is 41², so ln(41²) = 2 ln(41). ln(41) is approximately 3.71357, so 2 * 3.71357 ≈ 7.4271. So, 1 / 7.4271 ≈ 0.1347, or about 13.47%.So, the probability is roughly 13.5%.But since f(40) is composite, the actual probability is zero. Maybe I should note that, but the question is about estimating, so perhaps just the 13.5% is sufficient.Problem 2: Elliptic Curve over Finite FieldNow, moving on to the second problem. I need to determine the number of points on the elliptic curve y² = x³ + a x + b over the finite field F_p, where p is the prime found from the first problem. Wait, but in the first problem, p was 41, but f(40) was 1681, which is 41². But the question says p is the prime found from solving the first sub-problem. Wait, in the first sub-problem, we were to find a prime p, but in the first part, we were demonstrating that f(x) gives primes for x=0 to 39, and f(40) is 1681, which is composite.Wait, maybe I misread. Let me check: "Let p be a prime number that you need to find." Then, in part 1, we are to demonstrate that f(x) outputs primes for x=0 to 39, and estimate the probability that f(40) is prime. So, perhaps p is f(x) for some x, but the question is a bit unclear.Wait, maybe p is the prime number generated by the function f(x), but since f(40) is composite, perhaps p is f(39). Let me compute f(39):f(39) = 39² + 39 + 41 = 1521 + 39 + 41 = 1601.Is 1601 a prime number? Let me check. 1601 divided by small primes: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, etc.1601 ÷ 2 = 800.5, not integer.1601 ÷ 3: 3*533=1599, remainder 2.1601 ÷ 5: ends with 1, so no.1601 ÷ 7: 7*228=1596, remainder 5.1601 ÷ 11: 11*145=1595, remainder 6.1601 ÷ 13: 13*123=1599, remainder 2.1601 ÷ 17: 17*94=1598, remainder 3.1601 ÷ 19: 19*84=1596, remainder 5.1601 ÷ 23: 23*69=1587, remainder 14.1601 ÷ 29: 29*55=1595, remainder 6.1601 ÷ 31: 31*51=1581, remainder 20.1601 ÷ 37: 37*43=1591, remainder 10.So, seems like 1601 is a prime number. Let me check with a primality test. Alternatively, I can recall that 1601 is indeed a prime number.So, p = 1601.Now, the elliptic curve is y² = x³ + a x + b over F_p. I need to determine the number of points on this curve using Hasse's theorem.Hasse's theorem states that the number of points N on the elliptic curve over F_p satisfies |N - (p + 1)| ≤ 2√p.So, N is approximately p + 1, with an error bound of 2√p.But to find the exact number of points, we need more information. However, the problem doesn't specify a and b, so perhaps we are to express the number of points in terms of Hasse's bound, or maybe it's a general question.Wait, the problem says: "Determine the number of points on this elliptic curve over F_p using Hasse's theorem." But without knowing a and b, we can't compute the exact number of points. Hasse's theorem gives a bound, not the exact number.Wait, maybe the question is just asking for the range in which N lies, based on Hasse's theorem. So, N is between (p + 1 - 2√p) and (p + 1 + 2√p).Given that p = 1601, let's compute 2√p.√1601 ≈ 40.01, so 2√p ≈ 80.02.Thus, N is in the range [1601 + 1 - 80.02, 1601 + 1 + 80.02] = [1522, 1682].But the exact number of points can vary within this range. Without knowing a and b, we can't determine the exact N. So, perhaps the answer is that the number of points N satisfies 1522 ≤ N ≤ 1682.Alternatively, if the curve is supersingular or has some specific properties, but without more information, we can't say.Wait, but maybe the question expects us to use the fact that for a random elliptic curve over F_p, the number of points is approximately p + 1, and the error is bounded by 2√p. So, the number of points is roughly p + 1, but could vary by up to 2√p.But the question says "determine the number of points," which suggests an exact number, but without a and b, we can't compute it. So, perhaps the answer is that the number of points N satisfies |N - (p + 1)| ≤ 2√p, which is the statement of Hasse's theorem.Alternatively, maybe the curve is given in a specific form where a and b are chosen such that the number of points is known, but the problem doesn't specify.Wait, the problem says "consider the elliptic curve equation y² = x³ + a x + b over F_p," but doesn't give specific a and b. So, perhaps the answer is that the number of points N satisfies |N - (p + 1)| ≤ 2√p, and thus N is in the interval [p + 1 - 2√p, p + 1 + 2√p].Given that p = 1601, we can compute the exact bounds:p + 1 = 16022√p ≈ 80.019998So, N is in [1602 - 80.02, 1602 + 80.02] = [1521.98, 1682.02]. Since N must be an integer, N ∈ [1522, 1682].But without knowing a and b, we can't determine the exact N. So, the answer is that the number of points N satisfies 1522 ≤ N ≤ 1682.Alternatively, if the curve is given in a specific form, like y² = x³ + ax + b, and a and b are chosen such that the curve is supersingular or has a specific number of points, but the problem doesn't specify, so I think the answer is the range given by Hasse's theorem.Alternatively, maybe the curve is given in a way that the number of points is exactly p + 1, but that's only for certain curves, like when the trace of Frobenius is zero, but again, without knowing a and b, we can't say.So, to sum up, the number of points N on the elliptic curve over F_p satisfies |N - (p + 1)| ≤ 2√p, so N is between approximately 1522 and 1682.But let me double-check the calculations:p = 1601√p ≈ 40.012√p ≈ 80.02p + 1 = 1602So, N ∈ [1602 - 80.02, 1602 + 80.02] = [1521.98, 1682.02]Since N must be an integer, the lower bound is 1522 and the upper bound is 1682.Therefore, the number of points N on the elliptic curve over F_p is between 1522 and 1682.</think>

🧠:<think>Okay, so I have this problem where an entrepreneur wants to invest 1,000,000 across three asset classes: stocks, bonds, and real estate. The goal is to achieve a desired expected return of 6.5% while minimizing risk. I need to figure out how much to allocate to each asset and then calculate the overall risk of the portfolio.First, let me understand the problem step by step. The entrepreneur is following the advice of not putting all eggs in one basket, which means diversification. They have three asset classes with different expected returns and risks. The expected returns are 8% for stocks, 4% for bonds, and 6% for real estate. The risks, measured as standard deviations, are 15%, 5%, and 10% respectively.The entrepreneur wants to allocate funds ( x_1 ), ( x_2 ), and ( x_3 ) to stocks, bonds, and real estate such that the total investment is 1,000,000. So, the first constraint is:( x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 1,000,000 )They also want the expected return of the portfolio to be 6.5%. The expected return formula is given as:( R = 0.08x_1 + 0.04x_2 + 0.06x_3 )So, setting this equal to 6.5% of the total investment, which is 0.065 * 1,000,000 = 65,000. Therefore, the second equation is:( 0.08x_1 + 0.04x_2 + 0.06x_3 = 65,000 )Now, I have two equations with three variables. That means there are infinitely many solutions. But since we want to minimize risk, we need to set up an optimization problem where we minimize the portfolio's standard deviation subject to the constraints above.Wait, but the problem only asks to formulate and solve the optimization problem to meet the desired expected return. It doesn't explicitly mention minimizing risk in part 1. Hmm. Let me check the original question again."1. Formulate and solve the optimization problem to determine the optimal allocation of funds ( x_1 ), ( x_2 ), and ( x_3 ) that meets the desired expected return of 6.5%."So, it's just to find the allocation that gives the expected return of 6.5%. It doesn't specify whether to minimize risk or not. Maybe it's just to find any allocation that meets the expected return, but since it's an optimization problem, perhaps they still want to minimize risk? Or maybe it's just to find the allocation without worrying about risk.Wait, the problem says "utilize the expected return formula" and the constraint. So, perhaps it's just a system of equations. Since we have two equations and three variables, we can express two variables in terms of the third. But since we need to find an optimal allocation, perhaps we need to set up an optimization problem where we minimize risk given the expected return constraint.Yes, that makes sense. So, part 1 is to set up the optimization problem with the objective of minimizing the portfolio's risk (standard deviation) subject to achieving the expected return of 6.5% and the total investment of 1,000,000.So, let's formalize this.Objective Function:Minimize ( sigma_p ), which is the portfolio's standard deviation.But in optimization, it's often easier to minimize the variance instead of the standard deviation because the square root can complicate things. So, we can instead minimize ( sigma_p^2 ).Constraints:1. ( x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 1,000,000 )2. ( 0.08x_1 + 0.04x_2 + 0.06x_3 = 65,000 )3. ( x_1, x_2, x_3 geq 0 ) (assuming no short selling)So, the problem is a quadratic optimization problem because the variance (which is the square of the standard deviation) is a quadratic function of the allocations.But since I need to solve this, maybe I can express two variables in terms of the third and substitute into the variance formula.Alternatively, since it's a three-variable problem, perhaps using Lagrange multipliers would be a good approach.Let me recall that in portfolio optimization, the minimum variance portfolio given a target return can be found using the method of Lagrange multipliers.So, let's denote:Let me denote the weights as ( w_1 = x_1 / 1,000,000 ), ( w_2 = x_2 / 1,000,000 ), ( w_3 = x_3 / 1,000,000 ). Then, ( w_1 + w_2 + w_3 = 1 ).The expected return is ( R_p = 0.08w_1 + 0.04w_2 + 0.06w_3 = 0.065 ).The variance is:( sigma_p^2 = w_1^2 sigma_1^2 + w_2^2 sigma_2^2 + w_3^2 sigma_3^2 + 2w_1w_2 rho_{12}sigma_1sigma_2 + 2w_1w_3 rho_{13}sigma_1sigma_3 + 2w_2w_3 rho_{23}sigma_2sigma_3 )Plugging in the numbers:( sigma_1 = 0.15 ), ( sigma_2 = 0.05 ), ( sigma_3 = 0.10 )( rho_{12} = 0.3 ), ( rho_{13} = 0.5 ), ( rho_{23} = 0.2 )So,( sigma_p^2 = w_1^2 (0.15)^2 + w_2^2 (0.05)^2 + w_3^2 (0.10)^2 + 2w_1w_2 (0.3)(0.15)(0.05) + 2w_1w_3 (0.5)(0.15)(0.10) + 2w_2w_3 (0.2)(0.05)(0.10) )Simplify each term:First, compute each coefficient:- ( (0.15)^2 = 0.0225 )- ( (0.05)^2 = 0.0025 )- ( (0.10)^2 = 0.01 )- ( 2 * 0.3 * 0.15 * 0.05 = 2 * 0.3 * 0.0075 = 0.0045 )- ( 2 * 0.5 * 0.15 * 0.10 = 2 * 0.5 * 0.015 = 0.015 )- ( 2 * 0.2 * 0.05 * 0.10 = 2 * 0.2 * 0.005 = 0.002 )So, the variance becomes:( sigma_p^2 = 0.0225w_1^2 + 0.0025w_2^2 + 0.01w_3^2 + 0.0045w_1w_2 + 0.015w_1w_3 + 0.002w_2w_3 )Now, since ( w_1 + w_2 + w_3 = 1 ), we can express one variable in terms of the other two. Let's express ( w_3 = 1 - w_1 - w_2 ).Substituting ( w_3 ) into the expected return equation:( 0.08w_1 + 0.04w_2 + 0.06w_3 = 0.065 )Substitute ( w_3 = 1 - w_1 - w_2 ):( 0.08w_1 + 0.04w_2 + 0.06(1 - w_1 - w_2) = 0.065 )Let me compute this:First, expand the 0.06:( 0.08w_1 + 0.04w_2 + 0.06 - 0.06w_1 - 0.06w_2 = 0.065 )Combine like terms:( (0.08w_1 - 0.06w_1) + (0.04w_2 - 0.06w_2) + 0.06 = 0.065 )Simplify:( 0.02w_1 - 0.02w_2 + 0.06 = 0.065 )Subtract 0.06 from both sides:( 0.02w_1 - 0.02w_2 = 0.005 )Divide both sides by 0.02:( w_1 - w_2 = 0.25 )So, ( w_1 = w_2 + 0.25 )Now, since ( w_1 + w_2 + w_3 = 1 ), and ( w_3 = 1 - w_1 - w_2 ), we can substitute ( w_1 = w_2 + 0.25 ) into this:( (w_2 + 0.25) + w_2 + w_3 = 1 )Simplify:( 2w_2 + 0.25 + w_3 = 1 )So, ( w_3 = 1 - 2w_2 - 0.25 = 0.75 - 2w_2 )Therefore, we have:( w_1 = w_2 + 0.25 )( w_3 = 0.75 - 2w_2 )Now, we can express the variance in terms of ( w_2 ) only.First, let's write all weights in terms of ( w_2 ):- ( w_1 = w_2 + 0.25 )- ( w_2 = w_2 )- ( w_3 = 0.75 - 2w_2 )Now, substitute these into the variance formula:( sigma_p^2 = 0.0225(w_2 + 0.25)^2 + 0.0025w_2^2 + 0.01(0.75 - 2w_2)^2 + 0.0045(w_2 + 0.25)w_2 + 0.015(w_2 + 0.25)(0.75 - 2w_2) + 0.002w_2(0.75 - 2w_2) )This looks complicated, but let's expand each term step by step.First, expand ( (w_2 + 0.25)^2 ):( (w_2 + 0.25)^2 = w_2^2 + 0.5w_2 + 0.0625 )Multiply by 0.0225:( 0.0225w_2^2 + 0.01125w_2 + 0.00140625 )Next, ( 0.0025w_2^2 ) remains as is.Next, expand ( (0.75 - 2w_2)^2 ):( (0.75 - 2w_2)^2 = 0.5625 - 3w_2 + 4w_2^2 )Multiply by 0.01:( 0.005625 - 0.03w_2 + 0.04w_2^2 )Next, expand ( 0.0045(w_2 + 0.25)w_2 ):First, ( (w_2 + 0.25)w_2 = w_2^2 + 0.25w_2 )Multiply by 0.0045:( 0.0045w_2^2 + 0.001125w_2 )Next, expand ( 0.015(w_2 + 0.25)(0.75 - 2w_2) ):First, multiply out the terms inside:( (w_2 + 0.25)(0.75 - 2w_2) = w_2*0.75 - 2w_2^2 + 0.25*0.75 - 0.5w_2 )Simplify:( 0.75w_2 - 2w_2^2 + 0.1875 - 0.5w_2 )Combine like terms:( (0.75w_2 - 0.5w_2) - 2w_2^2 + 0.1875 )Which is:( 0.25w_2 - 2w_2^2 + 0.1875 )Multiply by 0.015:( 0.00375w_2 - 0.03w_2^2 + 0.0028125 )Next, expand ( 0.002w_2(0.75 - 2w_2) ):First, ( w_2(0.75 - 2w_2) = 0.75w_2 - 2w_2^2 )Multiply by 0.002:( 0.0015w_2 - 0.004w_2^2 )Now, let's collect all these expanded terms:1.

From ( 0.002w_2(0.75 - 2w_2) ): - ( 0.0015w_2 - 0.004w_2^2 )Now, let's combine all the ( w_2^2 ) terms:1. 0.02252. + 0.00253. + 0.044. + 0.00455. - 0.036. - 0.004Adding these together:0.0225 + 0.0025 = 0.0250.025 + 0.04 = 0.0650.065 + 0.0045 = 0.06950.0695 - 0.03 = 0.03950.0395 - 0.004 = 0.0355So, total ( w_2^2 ) coefficient: 0.0355Next, combine all the ( w_2 ) terms:1. 0.011252. - 0.033. + 0.0011254. + 0.003755. + 0.0015Adding these together:0.01125 - 0.03 = -0.01875-0.01875 + 0.001125 = -0.017625-0.017625 + 0.00375 = -0.013875-0.013875 + 0.0015 = -0.012375So, total ( w_2 ) coefficient: -0.012375Next, combine all the constant terms:1. 0.001406252. + 0.0056253. + 0.0028125Adding these together:0.00140625 + 0.005625 = 0.007031250.00703125 + 0.0028125 = 0.00984375So, total constant term: 0.00984375Therefore, the variance ( sigma_p^2 ) in terms of ( w_2 ) is:( sigma_p^2 = 0.0355w_2^2 - 0.012375w_2 + 0.00984375 )Now, to find the minimum variance, we can take the derivative of this quadratic function with respect to ( w_2 ) and set it to zero.The derivative ( d(sigma_p^2)/dw_2 = 2*0.0355w_2 - 0.012375 )Set this equal to zero:( 2*0.0355w_2 - 0.012375 = 0 )Solve for ( w_2 ):( 0.071w_2 = 0.012375 )( w_2 = 0.012375 / 0.071 )Calculate this:0.012375 ÷ 0.071 ≈ 0.1743So, ( w_2 ≈ 0.1743 )Now, let's find ( w_1 ) and ( w_3 ):From earlier, ( w_1 = w_2 + 0.25 ≈ 0.1743 + 0.25 = 0.4243 )And ( w_3 = 0.75 - 2w_2 ≈ 0.75 - 2*0.1743 ≈ 0.75 - 0.3486 ≈ 0.4014 )Let me check if these add up to 1:0.4243 + 0.1743 + 0.4014 ≈ 1.0000Yes, that works.So, the weights are approximately:- ( w_1 ≈ 0.4243 ) (stocks)- ( w_2 ≈ 0.1743 ) (bonds)- ( w_3 ≈ 0.4014 ) (real estate)Now, converting these weights back to dollar amounts:- ( x_1 = 0.4243 * 1,000,000 ≈ 424,300 )- ( x_2 = 0.1743 * 1,000,000 ≈ 174,300 )- ( x_3 = 0.4014 * 1,000,000 ≈ 401,400 )Let me verify the expected return:0.08*424,300 + 0.04*174,300 + 0.06*401,400Calculate each term:0.08*424,300 = 33,9440.04*174,300 = 6,9720.06*401,400 = 24,084Total expected return: 33,944 + 6,972 + 24,084 = 65,000Which is 6.5% of 1,000,000, so that checks out.Now, for part 2, we need to calculate the portfolio's overall risk, which is the standard deviation ( sigma_p ).We already have the variance in terms of ( w_2 ), which we found to be approximately 0.0355w_2^2 - 0.012375w_2 + 0.00984375. But since we found the minimum variance at ( w_2 ≈ 0.1743 ), we can plug this back into the variance formula to find ( sigma_p^2 ).Alternatively, since we have the weights, we can plug them into the original variance formula.Let me do that.Given:( w_1 ≈ 0.4243 )( w_2 ≈ 0.1743 )( w_3 ≈ 0.4014 )Compute each term:1.

🧠:<think>Okay, so I have this problem where a software engineer is working with an academic team to optimize microprocessor designs. The goal is to minimize energy consumption while keeping performance above a certain threshold. The functions given are:Energy consumption: ( E(x, y) = ax^2 + by^2 + cxy + dx + ey + f )Performance: ( P(x, y) = frac{g}{(x+y)^h} + j )We need to find the values of ( x ) and ( y ) that minimize ( E(x, y) ) subject to ( P(x, y) geq k ). Then, for the optimized values, compute the partial derivatives of ( E ) with respect to ( a ) and ( g ).Alright, let's start with the first part. This is an optimization problem with a constraint. It sounds like a job for Lagrange multipliers. I remember that when you have a function to optimize subject to a constraint, you can use Lagrange multipliers to find the extrema.So, the objective function is ( E(x, y) ), and the constraint is ( P(x, y) geq k ). Since we want to minimize ( E ) while keeping ( P ) above ( k ), the constraint will be ( P(x, y) = k ) at the optimal point because if ( P ) is higher than ( k ), maybe we can adjust ( x ) and ( y ) to reduce ( E ) further.So, let's set up the Lagrangian. The Lagrangian ( mathcal{L} ) is given by:( mathcal{L}(x, y, lambda) = E(x, y) - lambda (P(x, y) - k) )Wait, actually, since we have ( P(x, y) geq k ), the constraint is ( P(x, y) - k geq 0 ). So, the Lagrangian should be:( mathcal{L}(x, y, lambda) = E(x, y) + lambda (k - P(x, y)) )But I might be mixing up the signs. Let me recall: if the constraint is ( g(x, y) geq 0 ), then the Lagrangian is ( f(x, y) + lambda g(x, y) ). So, in this case, ( g(x, y) = P(x, y) - k geq 0 ). Therefore, the Lagrangian should be:( mathcal{L}(x, y, lambda) = E(x, y) + lambda (P(x, y) - k) )Wait, no, actually, if we're minimizing ( E ) subject to ( P geq k ), then the Lagrangian is ( E(x, y) + lambda (k - P(x, y)) ). Hmm, I think I need to double-check.Wait, the standard form is:Minimize ( f(x) ) subject to ( g(x) geq 0 ).Then, the Lagrangian is ( f(x) + lambda g(x) ), where ( lambda geq 0 ).So, in our case, ( f(x, y) = E(x, y) ), and ( g(x, y) = P(x, y) - k geq 0 ). Therefore, the Lagrangian is:( mathcal{L}(x, y, lambda) = E(x, y) + lambda (P(x, y) - k) )Yes, that makes sense. So, ( lambda ) is the Lagrange multiplier, and it should be non-negative because it's associated with an inequality constraint.So, we need to take partial derivatives of ( mathcal{L} ) with respect to ( x ), ( y ), and ( lambda ), and set them equal to zero.First, let's compute the partial derivatives.Partial derivative with respect to ( x ):( frac{partial mathcal{L}}{partial x} = frac{partial E}{partial x} + lambda frac{partial P}{partial x} = 0 )Similarly, partial derivative with respect to ( y ):( frac{partial mathcal{L}}{partial y} = frac{partial E}{partial y} + lambda frac{partial P}{partial y} = 0 )Partial derivative with respect to ( lambda ):( frac{partial mathcal{L}}{partial lambda} = P(x, y) - k = 0 )So, we have three equations:1. ( frac{partial E}{partial x} + lambda frac{partial P}{partial x} = 0 )2. ( frac{partial E}{partial y} + lambda frac{partial P}{partial y} = 0 )3. ( P(x, y) = k )Now, let's compute the partial derivatives of ( E ) and ( P ).First, ( E(x, y) = ax^2 + by^2 + cxy + dx + ey + f )So,( frac{partial E}{partial x} = 2ax + cy + d )( frac{partial E}{partial y} = 2by + cx + e )Now, ( P(x, y) = frac{g}{(x + y)^h} + j )So,( frac{partial P}{partial x} = -h cdot frac{g}{(x + y)^{h + 1}} )Similarly,( frac{partial P}{partial y} = -h cdot frac{g}{(x + y)^{h + 1}} )So, both partial derivatives of ( P ) with respect to ( x ) and ( y ) are equal.Therefore, plugging these into the first two equations:1. ( 2ax + cy + d + lambda left( -h cdot frac{g}{(x + y)^{h + 1}} right) = 0 )2. ( 2by + cx + e + lambda left( -h cdot frac{g}{(x + y)^{h + 1}} right) = 0 )3. ( frac{g}{(x + y)^h} + j = k )So, equations 1 and 2 both have the term ( -lambda h g / (x + y)^{h + 1} ). Let's denote ( s = x + y ) for simplicity. Then, ( s = x + y ), and ( frac{partial P}{partial x} = frac{partial P}{partial y} = -h g / s^{h + 1} ).So, equations 1 and 2 become:1. ( 2ax + cy + d - lambda h g / s^{h + 1} = 0 )2. ( 2by + cx + e - lambda h g / s^{h + 1} = 0 )3. ( g / s^h + j = k )From equation 3, we can solve for ( s ):( g / s^h = k - j )So,( s^h = g / (k - j) )Therefore,( s = left( frac{g}{k - j} right)^{1/h} )So, ( s ) is known in terms of constants. Let's denote ( s_0 = left( frac{g}{k - j} right)^{1/h} ). So, ( x + y = s_0 ).Now, going back to equations 1 and 2:Equation 1: ( 2ax + cy + d = lambda h g / s_0^{h + 1} )Equation 2: ( 2by + cx + e = lambda h g / s_0^{h + 1} )Notice that both right-hand sides are equal, so the left-hand sides must be equal as well.Therefore,( 2ax + cy + d = 2by + cx + e )Let's rearrange terms:( 2ax - cx + cy - 2by + d - e = 0 )Factor terms:( x(2a - c) + y(c - 2b) + (d - e) = 0 )So, this is a linear equation relating ( x ) and ( y ). Let's write it as:( (2a - c)x + (c - 2b)y + (d - e) = 0 )We also have ( x + y = s_0 ). So, we can solve these two equations to find ( x ) and ( y ).Let me write the two equations:1. ( (2a - c)x + (c - 2b)y = e - d )2. ( x + y = s_0 )We can solve this system using substitution or elimination. Let's use substitution.From equation 2: ( y = s_0 - x )Plug into equation 1:( (2a - c)x + (c - 2b)(s_0 - x) = e - d )Expand:( (2a - c)x + (c - 2b)s_0 - (c - 2b)x = e - d )Combine like terms:( [ (2a - c) - (c - 2b) ]x + (c - 2b)s_0 = e - d )Simplify the coefficient of ( x ):( (2a - c - c + 2b)x + (c - 2b)s_0 = e - d )Which is:( (2a - 2c + 2b)x + (c - 2b)s_0 = e - d )Factor out 2:( 2(a - c + b)x + (c - 2b)s_0 = e - d )Let me write this as:( 2(a + b - c)x = e - d - (c - 2b)s_0 )Therefore,( x = frac{e - d - (c - 2b)s_0}{2(a + b - c)} )Similarly, since ( y = s_0 - x ), we can write:( y = s_0 - frac{e - d - (c - 2b)s_0}{2(a + b - c)} )Simplify this:( y = frac{2(a + b - c)s_0 - e + d + (c - 2b)s_0}{2(a + b - c)} )Combine like terms in the numerator:( [2(a + b - c) + (c - 2b)]s_0 - e + d )Simplify inside the brackets:( 2a + 2b - 2c + c - 2b = 2a - c )So, numerator becomes:( (2a - c)s_0 - e + d )Therefore,( y = frac{(2a - c)s_0 - e + d}{2(a + b - c)} )So, now we have expressions for ( x ) and ( y ) in terms of ( s_0 ), which is known.So, summarizing:( x = frac{e - d - (c - 2b)s_0}{2(a + b - c)} )( y = frac{(2a - c)s_0 - e + d}{2(a + b - c)} )But wait, let's make sure the denominator ( 2(a + b - c) ) is not zero. If ( a + b - c = 0 ), then we have a different case, but assuming ( a + b - c neq 0 ), which is probably the case since otherwise, the equations would be different.Also, we need to ensure that ( s_0 ) is positive because ( s = x + y ) must be positive as design parameters. So, ( s_0 = left( frac{g}{k - j} right)^{1/h} ). So, we need ( g/(k - j) > 0 ), which implies ( k > j ) if ( g > 0 ), which is likely since ( g ) is a constant derived from empirical data, probably positive.So, assuming all constants are such that ( s_0 ) is positive, we can proceed.So, now, we have expressions for ( x ) and ( y ) in terms of the constants. Therefore, these are the optimal values.Wait, but let me check if I did the algebra correctly when solving for ( x ) and ( y ). Let me go back.We had:From equation 1: ( (2a - c)x + (c - 2b)y = e - d )From equation 2: ( x + y = s_0 )Expressed ( y = s_0 - x ), substituted into equation 1:( (2a - c)x + (c - 2b)(s_0 - x) = e - d )Expanding:( (2a - c)x + (c - 2b)s_0 - (c - 2b)x = e - d )Combine like terms:( [ (2a - c) - (c - 2b) ]x + (c - 2b)s_0 = e - d )Simplify the coefficient:( 2a - c - c + 2b = 2a - 2c + 2b )So, ( (2a - 2c + 2b)x + (c - 2b)s_0 = e - d )Factor 2:( 2(a - c + b)x + (c - 2b)s_0 = e - d )So, solving for ( x ):( 2(a + b - c)x = e - d - (c - 2b)s_0 )Therefore,( x = frac{e - d - (c - 2b)s_0}{2(a + b - c)} )Similarly, ( y = s_0 - x ), so:( y = s_0 - frac{e - d - (c - 2b)s_0}{2(a + b - c)} )Let me compute this:( y = frac{2(a + b - c)s_0 - e + d + (c - 2b)s_0}{2(a + b - c)} )Combine like terms:( [2(a + b - c) + (c - 2b)]s_0 - e + d )Simplify inside the brackets:( 2a + 2b - 2c + c - 2b = 2a - c )So, numerator becomes:( (2a - c)s_0 - e + d )Therefore,( y = frac{(2a - c)s_0 - e + d}{2(a + b - c)} )Yes, that seems correct.So, in conclusion, the optimal ( x ) and ( y ) are:( x = frac{e - d - (c - 2b)s_0}{2(a + b - c)} )( y = frac{(2a - c)s_0 - e + d}{2(a + b - c)} )Where ( s_0 = left( frac{g}{k - j} right)^{1/h} )So, that answers the first part.Now, moving on to the second part: For the optimized values of ( x ) and ( y ), compute the partial derivatives ( frac{partial E}{partial a} ) and ( frac{partial E}{partial g} ).First, let's recall that ( E(x, y) = ax^2 + by^2 + cxy + dx + ey + f )So, if we treat ( x ) and ( y ) as functions of the constants ( a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, j, k ), then the partial derivatives ( frac{partial E}{partial a} ) and ( frac{partial E}{partial g} ) would involve both the direct dependence of ( E ) on ( a ) and ( g ), as well as the indirect dependence through ( x ) and ( y ), which themselves depend on ( a ) and ( g ).Wait, but in the problem statement, it says "compute the partial derivatives ( frac{partial E}{partial a} ) and ( frac{partial E}{partial g} ) at the optimal ( x ) and ( y )." So, does this mean we need to compute the derivatives treating ( x ) and ( y ) as constants (i.e., only considering the direct dependence), or do we need to consider the total derivatives, accounting for the fact that ( x ) and ( y ) depend on ( a ) and ( g )?Hmm, the wording is a bit ambiguous. It says "sensitivity of the energy consumption with respect to changes in the constants ( a ) and ( g )." So, sensitivity analysis usually considers the total derivative, meaning how ( E ) changes when ( a ) or ( g ) changes, considering that ( x ) and ( y ) might also change in response.But in this case, since we are at the optimal ( x ) and ( y ), which themselves depend on ( a ) and ( g ), the total derivative would involve both the direct effect and the indirect effect through ( x ) and ( y ).However, the problem says "compute the partial derivatives ( frac{partial E}{partial a} ) and ( frac{partial E}{partial g} ) at the optimal ( x ) and ( y )." So, maybe they just want the partial derivatives of ( E ) with respect to ( a ) and ( g ), treating ( x ) and ( y ) as fixed.But that seems a bit odd because ( x ) and ( y ) are functions of ( a ) and ( g ). So, perhaps they want the total derivatives.Wait, let's read the problem again:"compute the partial derivatives ( frac{partial E}{partial a} ) and ( frac{partial E}{partial g} ) at the optimal ( x ) and ( y )."So, it's a bit ambiguous. If they mean partial derivatives, treating ( x ) and ( y ) as independent variables, then it's straightforward:( frac{partial E}{partial a} = x^2 )( frac{partial E}{partial g} = 0 ) because ( E ) doesn't directly depend on ( g ).But that seems too simple, and probably not what is intended, since ( x ) and ( y ) are optimized based on ( g ).Alternatively, if they want the total derivatives, considering that ( x ) and ( y ) change as ( a ) and ( g ) change, then we need to compute:( frac{dE}{da} = frac{partial E}{partial a} + frac{partial E}{partial x} frac{dx}{da} + frac{partial E}{partial y} frac{dy}{da} )Similarly,( frac{dE}{dg} = frac{partial E}{partial g} + frac{partial E}{partial x} frac{dx}{dg} + frac{partial E}{partial y} frac{dy}{dg} )But since ( E ) doesn't directly depend on ( g ), ( frac{partial E}{partial g} = 0 ). So,( frac{dE}{dg} = frac{partial E}{partial x} frac{dx}{dg} + frac{partial E}{partial y} frac{dy}{dg} )Similarly, ( frac{partial E}{partial a} = x^2 ), so:( frac{dE}{da} = x^2 + frac{partial E}{partial x} frac{dx}{da} + frac{partial E}{partial y} frac{dy}{da} )But this requires computing ( frac{dx}{da} ), ( frac{dy}{da} ), ( frac{dx}{dg} ), and ( frac{dy}{dg} ), which might be complicated.Given that the problem is about sensitivity, it's likely they want the total derivatives, considering the change in ( x ) and ( y ) with respect to ( a ) and ( g ). However, computing these derivatives would require differentiating the expressions for ( x ) and ( y ) with respect to ( a ) and ( g ), which might be quite involved.Alternatively, perhaps the problem is simpler and just wants the partial derivatives of ( E ) with respect to ( a ) and ( g ), treating ( x ) and ( y ) as fixed. In that case, as I thought earlier:( frac{partial E}{partial a} = x^2 )( frac{partial E}{partial g} = 0 )But that seems too straightforward, especially since ( x ) and ( y ) are functions of ( a ) and ( g ). So, maybe the problem expects the total derivatives.Alternatively, perhaps the problem is considering ( x ) and ( y ) as variables that are optimized for given ( a ) and ( g ), so the sensitivity is about how ( E ) changes as ( a ) and ( g ) change, which would involve the derivatives of ( E ) with respect to ( a ) and ( g ) through the optimal ( x ) and ( y ).Wait, another approach is to use the envelope theorem, which states that the derivative of the optimal value function with respect to a parameter is equal to the derivative of the objective function with respect to that parameter, evaluated at the optimal point, minus the derivative of the constraint with respect to the parameter times the Lagrange multiplier.But in this case, since we have an inequality constraint, the envelope theorem might still apply, but I need to recall the exact statement.The envelope theorem for inequality constraints: If the constraint is binding (i.e., ( P(x, y) = k )), then the derivative of the optimal value is equal to the derivative of the objective function minus the derivative of the constraint times the Lagrange multiplier.So, in our case, the optimal energy ( E^* ) is a function of ( a ) and ( g ). Then,( frac{dE^*}{da} = frac{partial E}{partial a} + frac{partial E}{partial x} frac{dx^*}{da} + frac{partial E}{partial y} frac{dy^*}{da} )But from the first-order conditions, we have:( frac{partial E}{partial x} + lambda frac{partial P}{partial x} = 0 )( frac{partial E}{partial y} + lambda frac{partial P}{partial y} = 0 )So, ( frac{partial E}{partial x} = -lambda frac{partial P}{partial x} )Similarly, ( frac{partial E}{partial y} = -lambda frac{partial P}{partial y} )Therefore, substituting into the derivative of ( E^* ):( frac{dE^*}{da} = frac{partial E}{partial a} + (-lambda frac{partial P}{partial x}) frac{dx^*}{da} + (-lambda frac{partial P}{partial y}) frac{dy^*}{da} )But we also have the derivative of the constraint ( P(x, y) = k ):( frac{partial P}{partial x} frac{dx^*}{da} + frac{partial P}{partial y} frac{dy^*}{da} = 0 )Because ( P(x, y) = k ) is fixed, so its derivative with respect to ( a ) is zero.Therefore,( frac{partial P}{partial x} frac{dx^*}{da} + frac{partial P}{partial y} frac{dy^*}{da} = 0 )So, in the expression for ( frac{dE^*}{da} ), the terms involving ( lambda ) and the derivatives of ( P ) can be combined:( frac{dE^*}{da} = frac{partial E}{partial a} - lambda left( frac{partial P}{partial x} frac{dx^*}{da} + frac{partial P}{partial y} frac{dy^*}{da} right ) )But the term in the parenthesis is zero, so:( frac{dE^*}{da} = frac{partial E}{partial a} )Similarly, for ( frac{dE^*}{dg} ):( frac{dE^*}{dg} = frac{partial E}{partial g} + frac{partial E}{partial x} frac{dx^*}{dg} + frac{partial E}{partial y} frac{dy^*}{dg} )Again, using the first-order conditions:( frac{partial E}{partial x} = -lambda frac{partial P}{partial x} )( frac{partial E}{partial y} = -lambda frac{partial P}{partial y} )So,( frac{dE^*}{dg} = 0 + (-lambda frac{partial P}{partial x}) frac{dx^*}{dg} + (-lambda frac{partial P}{partial y}) frac{dy^*}{dg} )Again, using the derivative of the constraint:( frac{partial P}{partial x} frac{dx^*}{dg} + frac{partial P}{partial y} frac{dy^*}{dg} = frac{dk}{dg} = 0 ) (since ( k ) is a constant)Therefore,( frac{dE^*}{dg} = -lambda left( frac{partial P}{partial x} frac{dx^*}{dg} + frac{partial P}{partial y} frac{dy^*}{dg} right ) = -lambda cdot 0 = 0 )Wait, that can't be right because ( E ) does depend on ( g ) through ( x ) and ( y ). Wait, no, actually, according to the envelope theorem, since ( P(x, y) = k ) is binding, the derivative of ( E^* ) with respect to ( g ) is equal to the derivative of ( E ) with respect to ( g ) minus the derivative of ( P ) with respect to ( g ) times the Lagrange multiplier. But since ( E ) doesn't directly depend on ( g ), the derivative is just ( -lambda frac{partial P}{partial g} ).Wait, let me think again.The envelope theorem states that for a maximization problem with a constraint, the derivative of the optimal value with respect to a parameter is equal to the derivative of the objective function minus the derivative of the constraint times the Lagrange multiplier.In our case, since we are minimizing ( E ) subject to ( P geq k ), and the constraint is binding, the derivative of ( E^* ) with respect to a parameter ( theta ) is:( frac{dE^*}{dtheta} = frac{partial E}{partial theta} - lambda frac{partial P}{partial theta} )But in our case, ( E ) doesn't directly depend on ( g ), so ( frac{partial E}{partial g} = 0 ). Therefore,( frac{dE^*}{dg} = -lambda frac{partial P}{partial g} )Similarly, for ( a ):( frac{dE^*}{da} = frac{partial E}{partial a} - lambda frac{partial P}{partial a} )But ( P ) doesn't directly depend on ( a ), so ( frac{partial P}{partial a} = 0 ). Therefore,( frac{dE^*}{da} = frac{partial E}{partial a} = x^2 )Wait, that makes sense. So, according to the envelope theorem, the sensitivity of ( E^* ) with respect to ( a ) is just the partial derivative of ( E ) with respect to ( a ), which is ( x^2 ), because the constraint doesn't directly depend on ( a ).Similarly, the sensitivity with respect to ( g ) is ( -lambda frac{partial P}{partial g} ). Let's compute that.First, ( frac{partial P}{partial g} = frac{1}{(x + y)^h} )So,( frac{dE^*}{dg} = -lambda cdot frac{1}{(x + y)^h} )But from the constraint ( P(x, y) = k ), we have:( frac{g}{(x + y)^h} + j = k )So,( frac{g}{(x + y)^h} = k - j )Therefore,( frac{1}{(x + y)^h} = frac{k - j}{g} )Thus,( frac{dE^*}{dg} = -lambda cdot frac{k - j}{g} )But we also need to find ( lambda ). From the first-order conditions, we had:From equation 1:( 2ax + cy + d = lambda h g / s_0^{h + 1} )But ( s_0 = x + y ), and ( s_0^h = g / (k - j) ), so ( s_0^{h + 1} = s_0 cdot s_0^h = s_0 cdot g / (k - j) )Therefore,( lambda h g / s_0^{h + 1} = lambda h g / (s_0 cdot g / (k - j)) ) = lambda h (k - j) / s_0 )So,( 2ax + cy + d = lambda h (k - j) / s_0 )Similarly, from equation 2:( 2by + cx + e = lambda h (k - j) / s_0 )So, both equal to the same value, which is consistent.Therefore, ( lambda = frac{(2ax + cy + d) s_0}{h (k - j)} )But since ( 2ax + cy + d = 2by + cx + e ), we can use either expression for ( lambda ).Let me use ( lambda = frac{(2ax + cy + d) s_0}{h (k - j)} )Therefore,( frac{dE^*}{dg} = -lambda cdot frac{k - j}{g} = - left( frac{(2ax + cy + d) s_0}{h (k - j)} right ) cdot frac{k - j}{g} = - frac{(2ax + cy + d) s_0}{h g} )But ( s_0 = x + y ), so:( frac{dE^*}{dg} = - frac{(2ax + cy + d)(x + y)}{h g} )Alternatively, since ( 2ax + cy + d = lambda h g / s_0^{h + 1} ), but I think the expression above is simpler.So, summarizing:( frac{dE^*}{da} = x^2 )( frac{dE^*}{dg} = - frac{(2ax + cy + d)(x + y)}{h g} )But wait, let me check the units. ( E ) is in joules, ( a ) is a constant with units of joules per square parameter, so ( x^2 ) has units of parameter squared, so ( frac{dE^*}{da} ) is in joules per (joules per parameter squared) )? Wait, no, actually, ( frac{dE^*}{da} ) is in joules per (unit of ( a )), which is joules per (joules per parameter squared), which simplifies to parameter squared. Hmm, that doesn't seem right.Wait, perhaps I made a mistake in interpreting the envelope theorem. Let me recall:The envelope theorem states that:( frac{dE^*}{dtheta} = frac{partial E}{partial theta} - lambda frac{partial P}{partial theta} )Where ( theta ) is a parameter.In our case, for ( theta = a ):( frac{dE^*}{da} = frac{partial E}{partial a} - lambda frac{partial P}{partial a} )But ( P ) doesn't depend on ( a ), so ( frac{partial P}{partial a} = 0 ). Therefore,( frac{dE^*}{da} = frac{partial E}{partial a} = x^2 )Similarly, for ( theta = g ):( frac{dE^*}{dg} = frac{partial E}{partial g} - lambda frac{partial P}{partial g} )But ( frac{partial E}{partial g} = 0 ), and ( frac{partial P}{partial g} = frac{1}{(x + y)^h} )Therefore,( frac{dE^*}{dg} = - lambda cdot frac{1}{(x + y)^h} )But from the constraint:( frac{g}{(x + y)^h} = k - j )So,( frac{1}{(x + y)^h} = frac{k - j}{g} )Thus,( frac{dE^*}{dg} = - lambda cdot frac{k - j}{g} )Now, we need to express ( lambda ) in terms of known quantities.From the first-order condition:( frac{partial E}{partial x} + lambda frac{partial P}{partial x} = 0 )We have:( 2ax + cy + d + lambda left( -h cdot frac{g}{(x + y)^{h + 1}} right ) = 0 )But ( (x + y)^{h + 1} = (x + y) cdot (x + y)^h = (x + y) cdot frac{g}{k - j} )Therefore,( lambda cdot h cdot frac{g}{(x + y) cdot frac{g}{k - j}} = 2ax + cy + d )Simplify:( lambda cdot h cdot frac{k - j}{x + y} = 2ax + cy + d )Therefore,( lambda = frac{(2ax + cy + d)(x + y)}{h(k - j)} )So, substituting back into ( frac{dE^*}{dg} ):( frac{dE^*}{dg} = - frac{(2ax + cy + d)(x + y)}{h(k - j)} cdot frac{k - j}{g} = - frac{(2ax + cy + d)(x + y)}{h g} )So, that's consistent with what I had earlier.Therefore, the partial derivatives (or total derivatives, considering the envelope theorem) are:( frac{dE^*}{da} = x^2 )( frac{dE^*}{dg} = - frac{(2ax + cy + d)(x + y)}{h g} )But wait, in the problem statement, it says "compute the partial derivatives ( frac{partial E}{partial a} ) and ( frac{partial E}{partial g} ) at the optimal ( x ) and ( y )." So, if we interpret this as the total derivatives, considering the change in ( x ) and ( y ) with respect to ( a ) and ( g ), then the answers are as above.However, if we interpret it as just the partial derivatives of ( E ) with respect to ( a ) and ( g ), treating ( x ) and ( y ) as constants, then:( frac{partial E}{partial a} = x^2 )( frac{partial E}{partial g} = 0 )But given that the problem mentions sensitivity analysis, which typically involves total derivatives, I think the first interpretation is correct. Therefore, the answers are:( frac{dE^*}{da} = x^2 )( frac{dE^*}{dg} = - frac{(2ax + cy + d)(x + y)}{h g} )But let me check the units again. ( E ) is in joules, ( a ) is in joules per parameter squared, so ( x^2 ) is parameter squared, so ( frac{dE^*}{da} ) is joules per (joules per parameter squared) ) which is parameter squared. That doesn't make much sense dimensionally. Wait, perhaps I made a mistake in the envelope theorem application.Wait, no, actually, the envelope theorem gives the derivative of the optimal value function with respect to the parameter. So, ( frac{dE^*}{da} ) has units of joules per (unit of ( a )). Since ( a ) is in joules per parameter squared, ( frac{dE^*}{da} ) is in parameter squared, which is consistent with ( x^2 ) having units of parameter squared.Similarly, ( frac{dE^*}{dg} ) has units of joules per (unit of ( g )). Since ( g ) is in operations per second times (parameter)^h, the units would be more complex, but the expression we have is dimensionally consistent.Alternatively, perhaps the problem expects the partial derivatives of ( E ) with respect to ( a ) and ( g ) without considering the dependence of ( x ) and ( y ) on ( a ) and ( g ). In that case, it's simply:( frac{partial E}{partial a} = x^2 )( frac{partial E}{partial g} = 0 )But given that ( x ) and ( y ) are optimized based on ( a ) and ( g ), the sensitivity should account for the change in ( x ) and ( y ). Therefore, the total derivatives are more appropriate.So, to conclude, the optimal ( x ) and ( y ) are given by the expressions derived earlier, and the partial derivatives (total derivatives) of ( E ) with respect to ( a ) and ( g ) at the optimal point are ( x^2 ) and ( - frac{(2ax + cy + d)(x + y)}{h g} ) respectively.But let me make sure I didn't make any algebraic mistakes. Let me recap:1. Set up the Lagrangian with the constraint ( P(x, y) geq k ), leading to the equations involving partial derivatives.2. Solved for ( x ) and ( y ) in terms of ( s_0 ), which is ( left( frac{g}{k - j} right)^{1/h} ).3. Applied the envelope theorem to find the sensitivity of ( E ) with respect to ( a ) and ( g ), leading to the expressions ( x^2 ) and ( - frac{(2ax + cy + d)(x + y)}{h g} ).Yes, that seems correct.Therefore, the final answers are:1. The optimal ( x ) and ( y ) are:( x = frac{e - d - (c - 2b)s_0}{2(a + b - c)} )( y = frac{(2a - c)s_0 - e + d}{2(a + b - c)} )where ( s_0 = left( frac{g}{k - j} right)^{1/h} ).2. The partial derivatives (total derivatives) are:( frac{dE^*}{da} = x^2 )( frac{dE^*}{dg} = - frac{(2ax + cy + d)(x + y)}{h g} )But to write them in terms of ( s_0 ), since ( x + y = s_0 ), we can substitute:( frac{dE^*}{dg} = - frac{(2ax + cy + d)s_0}{h g} )But ( 2ax + cy + d = lambda h g / s_0^{h + 1} ), which we can also express in terms of ( s_0 ), but it might complicate things.Alternatively, since ( 2ax + cy + d = 2by + cx + e ), and we have expressions for ( x ) and ( y ), we could substitute those in, but it might not lead to a simpler expression.Therefore, the final answers are as above.</think>
