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.
Optimize subject to the constraint for nonzero constants a and b. Are there any nonzero values of a and b for which the method of Lagrange multipliers succeeds?
In Exercises , use the partial derivatives of and the point specified to
find the equation of the line tangent to the surface defined by the function in the direction,
find the equation of the line tangent to the surface defined by the function in the direction, and
find the equation of the plane containing the lines you found in parts and .
Find the directional derivative of the given function at the specified point P in the direction of the given vector. Note: The given vectors may not be unit vectors.
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.
