Use Theorem 12.32 to find the indicated derivatives in Exercises 21–26. Express your answers as functions of a single variable.
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.

Gradients: Find the gradient of the given function, and find the direction in which the function increases most rapidly at the specified point P.
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.
Why does the method of Lagrange multipliers fail with this function?
