Use Theorem 12.32 to find the indicated derivatives in Exercises 21–26. Express your answers as functions of a single variable.
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.
In Exercises , find the directional derivative of the given function at the specified point and in the direction of the given unit vector .

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?
