Problem 5 (20 points): Consider the function: $$f(x) = \sin(x_1) + \cos(x_2) - \frac{1}{2}(x_1^2 + x_2^2)$$ a) Use an analytical approach to show that the function has a local maximum point. Hint: You may need to employ the Newton's-Raphson method to determine the critical point(s). b) Start with the zero initial guess $$x = [0 \ 0]^T$$ and use the Newton's method to find the maximum value of the function. Complete the first 2 iterations. c) Find the relative true error at termination. Hint: For problems with multidimensional variables, the Euclidean norm is used to compute the relative error as follows: $$\epsilon_t = \frac{||x_{true} - x_{approx}||_2}{||x_{true}||_2} \times 100\%$$

1. A 2D incompressible flow for a laminar boundary layer is approximated as $$u = U \left( 2\frac{y}{\delta} - 2\frac{y^3}{\delta^3} + \frac{y^4}{\delta^4} \right), y < \delta, x > 0, y > 0, \text{ and } \delta = C\sqrt{x}.$$ Assuming that the $u = v = 0$ at the wall ($y = 0$), (a) find an expression for $v(x, y)$ when $x = 1, U = 3, \text{ and } \delta = 0.01$. (b) plot $u(x, y)$ and $v(x, y)$.

Nitrogen dioxide is one of the many oxides of nitrogen (often collectively called \"NOx\" ) that are of interest to atmospheric chemistry. It can react with itself to form another form of NOx, dinitrogen tetroxide. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 50 L tank with 8.6 mol of nitrogen dioxide gas. When the mixture has come to equilibrium she determines that it contains 6.1 mol of nitrogen dioxide gas. The engineer then adds another 2.9 mol of nitrogen dioxide, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the moles of dinitrogen tetroxide after equilibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
