Math Problem Statement
Solution
The document you uploaded is a math problem involving a function that describes the cost development of a rental property over time. The function given is:
Where represents the number of years since the current year, and represents the costs in CHF.
The task consists of three questions:
- (3 points) Calculate the average annual increase in costs from year 1 to year 10.
- (3 points) Find the first derivative of the function .
- (3 points) Calculate and , which represent the rate of change of the costs in the 2nd and 5th year.
Let's break it down:
Question 1: Average Annual Increase in Costs
To calculate the average annual increase over the period from year 1 to year 10, we need to compute the difference in the costs at and , then divide by 9 (the total number of years between them).
Question 2: First Derivative of the Function
To find , we will apply the chain rule to the given function.
Question 3: Rate of Change in Years 2 and 5
We will use the second and first derivatives and to calculate the rate of change at and .
Would you like me to start by solving the first part or would you prefer to focus on something specific in the problem?
