Use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the dimensions of the rectangle of greatest area that can be inscribed in the ellipse \(x^{2} / 16+y^{2} / 9=1\) with sides parallel to the coordinate axes.
Problem 19
(a) find the function's domain, (b) find the function's range, (c) describe the function's level curves, (d) find the boundary of the function's domain, (e) determine if the domain is an open region, a closed region, or neither, and ( \(\mathbf{f}\) ) decide if the domain is bounded or unbounded. $$f(x, y)=4 x^{2}+9 y^{2}$$
Problem 26

Problem 28
Find the volume of the largest closed rectangular box in the first octant having three faces in the coordinate planes and a vertex on the plane \(x / a+y / b+z / c=1\) where \(a>0, b>0,\) and \(c>0.\)
Problem 31
Find the absolute maxima and minima of the functions on the given domains. \(f(x, y)=2 x^{2}-4 x+y^{2}-4 y+1\) on the closed triangular plate bounded by the lines \(x=0, y=2, y=2 x\) in the first quadrant.
Problem 33
In economics, the usefulness or utility of amounts \(x\) and \(y\) of two capital goods \(G_{1}\) and \(G_{2}\) is sometimes measured by a function \(U(x, y) .\) For example, \(G_{1}\) and \(G_{2}\) might be two chemicals a pharmaceutical company needs to have on hand and \(U(x, y)\) the gain from manufacturing a product whose synthesis requires different amounts of the chemicals depending on the process used. If \(G_{1}\) costs \(a\) dollars per kilogram, \(G_{2}\) costs \(b\) dollars per kilogram, and the total amount allocated for the purchase of \(G_{1}\) and \(G_{2}\) together is \(c\) dollars, then the company's managers want to maximize \(U(x, y)\) given that \(a x+b y=c .\) Thus, they need to solve a typical Lagrange multiplier problem. Suppose that $$U(x, y)=x y+2 x$$ and that the equation \(a x+b y=c\) simplifies to $$2 x+y=30$$ Find the maximum value of \(U\) and the corresponding values of \(x\) and \(y\) subject to this latter constraint.
Problem 37
Minimize the function \(f(x, y, z)=x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}\) subject to the constraints \(x+2 y+3 z=6\) and \(x+3 y+9 z=9.\)
