This problem concerns the determination of the extrema of f (x, y) = x + 8 y subject to

Chapter 4, Problem 40

(choose chapter or problem)

This problem concerns the determination of the extrema of f (x, y) = x + 8 y subject to the constraint x 2 + y2 = 17, where x 0 and y 0. (a) Explain why f must attain both a global minimum and a global maximum on the given constraint curve. (b) Use a Lagrange multiplier to solve the system of equations f (x, y) = g(x, y) g(x, y) = 0 , where g(x, y) = x 2 + y2. You should identify a single critical point of f . (c) Identify the global minimum and the global maximum of f subject to the constraint.
