Consider the function f(x, y) = 2x + 3y.
(a) Why is the graph of f a plane?
(b) In what direction is f increasing most rapidly at the
point (−1, 4)?
(c) In what direction is f increasing most rapidly at the
point (x 0, y 0)?
(d) Why are your answers to parts (b) and (c) the same?
Given a function of n 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 21–26, find the discriminant of the given function.
