Let \(R\) be a closed bounded set in \(\mathbb{R}^{2}\) and let \(f(x, y)=a x+b y+c,\) where \(a, b,\) and \(c\) are real numbers, with \(a\) and \(b\) not both zero. Give a geometrical argument explaining why the absolute maximum and minimum values of \(f\) over \(R\) occur on the boundaries of \(R\)
Rectangular boxes with a volume of \(10 \mathrm{m}^{3}\) are made of two materials. The material for the top and bottom of the box costs \(\$ 10 / \mathrm{m}^{2}\) and the material for the sides of the box costs \(\$ 1 / \mathrm{m}^{2}\). What are the dimensions of the box that minimize the cost of the box?
Find the domains of the following functions. Specify the domain mathematically and then describe it in words or with a sketch. $$h(x, y, z)=\sqrt[4]{z^{2}-x z+y z-x y}.$$
Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. The plane passing through the point (1,1,1) with a normal vector \(\mathbf{n}=\langle 1,2,-3\rangle\) is the same as the plane passing through the point (3,0,1) with a normal vector \(\mathbf{n}=\langle-2,-4,6\rangle\) b. The equations \(x+y-z=1\) and \(-x-y+z=1\) describe the same plane. c. Given a plane \(Q\), there is exactly one plane orthogonal to \(Q\). d. Given a line \(\ell\) and a point \(P_{0}\) not on \(\ell\), there is exactly one plane that contains \(\ell\) and passes through \(P_{0}\) e. Given a plane \(R\) and a point \(P_{0},\) there is exactly one plane that is orthogonal to \(R\) and passes through \(P_{0}\) f. Any two distinct lines in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\) determine a unique plane. g. If plane \(Q\) is orthogonal to plane \(R\) and plane \(R\) is orthogonal to plane \(S\), then plane \(Q\) is orthogonal to plane \(S\).
Maximizing a sum Geometric and arithmetic means Prove that the geometric mean of a set of positive numbers \(\left(x_{1} x_{2} \cdots x_{n}\right)^{1 / n}\) is no greater than the arithmetic mean \(\left(x_{1}+\cdots+x_{n}\right) / n\) in the following cases. a. Find the maximum value of \(x y z,\) subject to \(x+y+z=k\) where \(k\) is a real number and \(x>0, y>0,\) and \(z>0 .\) Use the result to prove that $$(x y z)^{1 / 3} \leq \frac{x+y+z}{3}$$ b. Generalize part (a) and show that $$\left(x_{1} x_{2} \cdots x_{n}\right)^{1 / n} \leq \frac{x_{1}+\cdots+x_{n}}{n}$$
