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.

f(x,y,z)=x+y+zwhenx2+y2+z2=9

Short Answer

Expert verified

The maximum value of the function is 33and the minimum value is -33and both exist as the constraint is a bounded and closed sphere of radius 3.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.  

Given function isf(x,y,z)=x+y+z.

Given constraint isx2+y2+z2=9.

02

Step 2. critical points of the function. 

Gradients of function.

∇f(x,y,z)=i+j+k∇g(x,y,z)=2xi+2yj+2zk

Use the method of Lagrange multipliers.

∇f(x,y,z)=λ∇g(x,y,z)i+j+k=λ2xi+2yj+2zki+j+k=2λxi+2λyj+2λzk

Compare terms.

1=2λx⇒λ=12x1=2λy⇒λ=12y1=2λz⇒λ=12zsox=y=z

substitute y=x&z=xin constraint.

x2+y2+z2=9x2+x2+x2=93x2=9x=±3y=±3z=±3

so critical points are-3,-3,-3&3,3,3.

03

Step 3. maximum and minimum of a function. 

Find function value at -3,-3,-3.

f(x,y,z)=x+y+zf(-3,-3,-3)=-3+-3+-3f(-3,-3,-3)=-33

Find the function value at 3,3,3.

role="math" localid="1649895024258" f(x,y,z)=x+y+zf(3,3,3)=3+3+3f(3,3,3)=33

So the maximum value of the function is 33and the minimum value is 33.

As constraint is bounded and closed sphere of radius 3so maximum and minimum both exist.
