Get started for freeIn 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.
Show that the only point given by the method of Lagrange multipliers for the function subject to the constraint
In Exercises , use the partial derivatives of role="math" localid="1650186853142" and the point role="math" localid="1650186870407" specified to
find the equation of the line tangent to the surface defined by the function in the direction,
find the equation of the line tangent to the surface defined by the function in the direction, and
find the equation of the plane containing the lines you found in parts and.
Consider the function f(x, y) = 2x + 3y.
(a) Why is the graph of f a plane?
(b) In what direction is f increasing most rapidly at the
point (−1, 4)?
(c) In what direction is f increasing most rapidly at the
point (x 0, y 0)?
(d) Why are your answers to parts (b) and (c) the same?
