3. Use calculus to determine whether each of the following functions is concave, convex, both or neither on the subset of each domain where both variables are positive. a) f(x,y) = x/(3+y) b) F(P,r) = Pe^r c) G(x,y) = 0.4 x + 0.6 y

For each of the following functions, determine whether they are convex, concave, or neither using the method provided in each option: a) f1(x) = x^2 - 10x (prove) b) f3(x) = 3x1 + 2x1^2 + 4x2 + x2^2 - 2x1x2 (use xHf(x)x) c) f4(x) = x1^2 + 3x1x2 + 2x2^2 (use determinants of Hessian matrix)

Check for convexity of the following functions. If the function is not convex everywhere, then determine the domain (feasible set S) over which the function is convex. Apply the graphical technique to verify your answer. a. f = 3x_1^2 + 2x_1x_2 + 2x_2^2 + 7 b. f = x_1^2 + 4x_1x_2 + x_2^2 + 3

Problem 3 (5 Points): For each of the following functions, determine whether it is convex, concave, neither, or both: a) f(r) = e^r - 1 on R b) f(x, y) = x^2 + y^2 on R^2 c) f(x, y) = 1/(2x^2 + 3y^2) on R^2 d) f(x, y) = 11/(12z) on R^2 e) f(x, y) = 12/12 on R x R++
