In a nonlinear optimization problem
 a. the objective function is a nonlinear function of the constraints.
  b. all the constraints are nonlinear only when the objective is to maximize the function of the decision variables.
  c. at least one term in the objective function or a constraint is nonlinear.
  d. both the objective function and the constraints must have all nonlinear terms.

Question 2

The difference between the observed value of the dependent variable and the value predicted using the estimated regression equation is known as the
 a. constant term. b. error term.
  c. residual. d. model parameter.

Answer to Question 1

c
RATIONALE: A nonlinear optimization problem is any optimization problem in which at least one term in the objective function or a constraint is nonlinear.

Answer to Question 2

c
RATIONALE: The difference between the observed value of the dependent variable and the value predicted using the estimated regression equation is known as the residual.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
