Solve the exact differential equations in Exercises 63–66.
Explain how you could use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the extrema of a function of two variables, subject to the constraint that is a point on the boundary of a triangle in the xy-plane.
Let T be a triangle with side lengths a, b, and c. The semi-perimeter of T is defined to be Heron’s formula for the area A of a triangle is
Use Heron’s formula and the method of Lagrange multipliers to prove that, for a triangle with perimeter P, the equilateral triangle maximizes the area.
Fill in the blanks to complete the limit rules. You may assume that and exists and that k is a scalar.
