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.
f(x, y ,z) = ln(x + y + z), P = (e, 0, −1) .
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?

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 ∇f(0, 0) = 0 but f is
not differentiable at (0, 0).
(b) A function z = f(x, y) for which ∇f(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) = ∇f(0, 0) · u.
