In a nonlinear problem, the rate of change of the objective function with respect to the right-hand side of a constraint is given by the
 a. slope of the contour line.
  b. local optimum.
  c. Reducing gradient.
  d. Lagrangian multiplier.

Question 2

What would be the value of the sum of squares due to regression (SSR) if the total sum of squares (SST) is 25.32 and the sum of squares due to error (SSE) is 6.89?
 a. 31.89 b. 19.32
  c. 18.43 d. 15.32

Answer to Question 1

d
RATIONALE: In a nonlinear problem, the rate of change of the objective function with respect to the right-hand side of a constraint is given by the Lagrangian multiplier.

Answer to Question 2

c
RATIONALE: The three quantities are related as SST = SSR + SSE. Substituting the values, we get SSR=18.43.
