Given a function of three variables, and a constraint equation how many equations would we obtain if we tried to optimize f by the method of Lagrange multipliers?
In Exercises 24鈥32, find the maximum and minimum of the functionf subject to the given constraint. In each case explain why the maximum and minimum must both exist.
Construct examples of the thing(s) described in
the following.
Try to find examples that are different than
any in the reading.
(a) A function z = f(x, y) for which 鈭噁(0, 0) = 0 but f is
not differentiable at (0, 0).
(b) A function z = f(x, y) for which 鈭噁(0, 0) = 0 for every
point in R2.
(c) A function z = f(x, y) and a unit vector u such that
Du f(0, 0) = 鈭噁(0, 0) 路 u.
Find the gradient of the given function, and find the direction in which the function increases most rapidly at the specified point P.
Use Theorem 12.32 to find the indicated derivatives in Exercises 21鈥26. Express your answers as functions of a single variable.
