In Example 4 we found that the function has stationary points at and
(a) Use the second-derivative test to show that \(f\) has a saddle point at
(b) Use the second-derivative test to show that \(f\) has a relative minimum at
(c) Use the value of \(f(-10,0)\) to argue that \(f\) has a relative minimum at and not an absolute minimum, without using the second-derivative test.
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.
Solve the exact differential equations in Exercises 63–66.
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.
Why does the method of Lagrange multipliers fail with this function?
