[1] State TRUE or FALSE by giving reasons (5 points each) You must state a valid reason to get full credit. This may include examples, counter examples, or short proofs, depending on the statement of the problem and your answer. (a) Let $f: \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a continuously differentiable function and $X \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a constraint set. Let $x^*$ be a stationary point for the problem of minimizing $f$ over $X$. If $x^*$ is an interior point of $X$, then it is a local minima for the unconstrained optimization problem. (b) Consider the constrained optimization problem of minimizing $f(x) = ||x||^2 - b^T x$, where $f: \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and $b \in \mathbb{R}^n$, over a bounded compact set $X$. Then the gradient projection method with a constant step size can solve this problem (i.e., always converges) and the convergence rate is super linear. (c) If there are two geometric multipliers for a minimization problem with inequality constraints, then the average of them is also a geometric multiplier. (d) Consider a constrained optimization problem with inequality constraints which is infeasible, i.e., the feasible set is empty. Then the dual problem is also infeasible.

On January 1, 1970, Smith borrows $5,000 at the nominal annual interest rate of 4%\compounded semiannually. On January 1, 1972, Smith borrows an additional $3,000 at the\nominal annual interest rate of 5% compounded semiannually. No interest or principal\payments are made on either loan prior to 1974. On January 1, 1974, the two loans are\consolidated and subsequent interest is charged at a nominal annual rate of 6%\compounded semiannually. Smith repays the loans with level semiannual payments\beginning July 1, 1974 and ending January 1, 1980. In which of the following ranges is\the amount of each of these payments?\A Less than $900\B At least $900, but less than $925\C At least $925, but less than $950\D At least $950, but less th 075\E At least $975
