In Example 4 we found that the function has stationary points at and
(a) Use the second-derivative test to show that \(f\) has a saddle point at
(b) Use the second-derivative test to show that \(f\) has a relative minimum at
(c) Use the value of \(f(-10,0)\) to argue that \(f\) has a relative minimum at and not an absolute minimum, without using the second-derivative test.
In Exercises , use the partial derivatives of and the point specified to
find the equation of the line tangent to the surface defined by the function in the direction,
find the equation of the line tangent to the surface defined by the function in the direction, and
find the equation of the plane containing the lines you found in parts and .
In Exercises, find the maximum and minimum of the function f subject to the given constraint. In each case explain why the maximum and minimum must both exist.
In Exercises, by considering the function subject to the constraint you will explore a situation in which the method of Lagrange multipliers does not provide an extremum of a function.
Show that the only point given by the method of Lagrange multipliers for the function subject to the constraint
