Solution
The first step in solving 8.5 problem number 1 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure 8.47 shows contours of f(x, y). List the x- and y-coordinates and the value of the function at any local maximum and local minimum points, and identify which is which. Are any of these local extrema also global extrema on the region shown? If so, which ones? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 x y 8 9 7 2 1 3 4 5 6 6 5 7 8 9 Figure 8.47
From the textbook chapter CRITICAL POINTS AND OPTIMIZATION you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
