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.
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.
When you use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum of subject to the constraint you obtain two points. Is there a relative maximum at one of the points and a relative minimum at the other? Which is which?
Evaluate the following limits, or explain why the limit does not exist.
