Problem 24
The Haycock formula for approximating the surface area \(S,\) in square meters \(\left(\mathrm{m}^{2}\right),\) of a human is given by $$ S(h, w)=0.024265 h^{0.3964} w^{0.5378} $$ where \(h\) is the person's height in centimeters and \(w\) is the person's weight in kilograms. (Source: www.halls.md.) Use the Haycock approximation to estimate the surface area of a person whose height is \(165 \mathrm{~cm}\) and whose weight is \(80 \mathrm{~kg}\).
Problem 32
Find the four second-order partial derivatives. $$f(x, y)=x^{4} y^{3}-x^{2} y^{3}$$
Problem 37
Find the indicated maximum or minimum values of \(f(x, y)\) subject to the given constraint. Minimum: \(f(x, y)=2 x^{2}+y^{2}+2 x y+3 x+2 y ;\) \(y^{2}=x+1\)
Problem 41
Find the indicated maximum or minimum values of \(f(x, y)\) subject to the given constraint. Maximum: \(f(x, y, z, t)=x+y+z+t ;\) \(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}+t^{2}=1\)
Problem 51
The Mosteller formula for approximating the surface area, \(S,\) in \(\mathrm{m}^{2},\) of a human is \(s=\frac{\sqrt{h w}}{60}\) where \(h\) is the person's height in centimeters and \(w\) is the person's weight in kilograms. (Source: www.halls.md.) a) Compute \(\frac{\partial S}{\partial h}\). b) Compute \(\frac{\partial S}{\partial w}\). c) The change in \(S\) due to a change in \(w\) when \(h\) is constant is approximately \(\Delta S \approx \frac{\partial S}{\partial w} \Delta w\) Use this formula to approximate the change in someone's surface area given that the person is \(170 \mathrm{~cm}\) tall, weighs \(80 \mathrm{~kg}\), and loses \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\).
