If a farmer has 100 meters of fence what is the maximum area if he has a barn?
The maximum area is 625 m². The maximum area can be found using a system of equations with two unknowns. By expressing the Area equation with only a single variable, the area is maximized wherever the first derivative of the equation is equal to zero. We find that the area is maximized when the two opposite sides of the barn are set to 25 m. Therefore, every side mesures 25 m and the maximum area is 625 m².
What is the importance of application of integration in daily life?
That's not really a valid question since integration is simply a mathematical tool used to solve certain kinds of problems that may come up. Very few people need to actually use this tool on an everyday basis and in fact, most people can successfully go through their entire lives without ever even knowing it exists. This is kind of like asking an American farmer what importance does the application of cricket bats have in daily life.
What is the difference between a futures and option contract?
There are actually three similar derivatives: futures, forwards and options. Futures contracts say, in essence, "On September 15, 2009, Rockford Grain Growers will deliver to General Mills 100,000 bushels of wheat for $5 per bushel." The risk to the buyer is that wheat will sell on the spot market for $4.75 per bushel and he'll lose a lot of money, but that's counterbalanced by the risk it's going to sell on the spot market for $6 if he doesn't have a futures contract. Basically, this stabilizes finished product prices: if you know wheat's going to cost X and wheat is 90 percent of your product, you can call Walmart and tell them, "next fall our food is going to cost this amount." Forwards contracts say almost the same thing: "On or before September 1, 2009, John Smith Wheat Growing will deliver to Rockford Grain Growers his entire wheat crop for $4.25 per bushel." Futures don't really work for farmers because they're not always entirely sure how much they are going to harvest. Forwards, which don't state quantity, are better. There are two risks to the buyer here: that the farmer won't be able to deliver enough wheat for the elevator to meet its futures contracts; and that the farmer will deliver so much he won't have anywhere to put it. Options say, "on October 15, 2009, General Foods may purchase 20,000 bushels of wheat from Rockford Grain Growers for $5.50 per bushel." Commodities users buy both contracts because they have to--they KNOW they need 100,000 bushels of wheat, but if their new cereal gets popular they will need more wheat so they buy a set of options just in case. Futures are only good if you buy the stuff to use it. Some guys buy these to speculate--if they think wheat is going through the roof, they can buy a future a year out and sell it for cheaper than an option would be later on, but that's kinda risky: if you can't get rid of your futures contract when it matures, some guy in a big truck will show up in front of your building asking where you want the wheat you bought
