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?
Fill in the blanks to complete the limit rules. You may assume that andexists and that k is a scalar.
Use Theorem 12.32 to find the indicated derivatives in Exercises 21–26. Express your answers as functions of a single variable.
