(choose chapter or problem)

In the introductory example, we discussed how egg size depends on maternal age. Assume now that the total amount of resources available is 10 (in appropriate units), the number of eggs per clutch is 3, the number of clutches is 2, and the egg size in clutch number i is denoted by xi . (a) Find the constraint function. (b) Suppose the fitness function is given by f (x1, x2) = 3 2 (x1) + 3 4 (x2) where (x) = 2x 5+x . Find the optimal egg sizes for clutch 1 and clutch 2 under the constraint in (a).
