This is a problem I created for myself, and I've been thinking about for a while and would like some other opinions on the matter. I'm using simple numbers just for example. The problem: Suppose you are hungry, and you need to eat at least 10 calories worth of food to get full, and you'd...

The differentiation looks good to me. Now you just need to simplify. If you're having trouble, I'd multiply out 0.5 ( 2x + 2y ) ^ -0.5 (2+2y') and 0.5(3xy) ^ -0.5 ( 3 ( y + y' x ) ) and then pull a y' out of two terms, move the remaining terms to the other side and divide by what's...

Homework Statement A simple eigenvector problem using a 2x2 matrix. Homework Equations Ax = \lambda x The Attempt at a Solution I don't have one. I know and understand the theory behind eigenvectors, but I cannot think of a practical application. I need to create a problem that uses...
