You appear to be on a device with a "narrow" screen width (i.e. you are probably on a mobile phone). Due to the nature of the mathematics on this site it is best viewed in landscape mode. If your device is not in landscape mode many of the equations will run off the side of your device (you should be able to scroll/swipe to see them) and some of the menu items will be cut off due to the narrow screen width.

  1. Find the maximum and minimum values of f(x,y)=81x2+y2 subject to the constraint 4x2+y2=9. Solution
  2. Find the maximum and minimum values of f(x,y)=8x22y subject to the constraint x2+y2=1. Solution
  3. Find the maximum and minimum values of f(x,y,z)=y210z subject to the constraint x2+y2+z2=36. Solution
  4. Find the maximum and minimum values of f(x,y,z)=xyz subject to the constraint x+9y2+z2=4. Assume that x0 for this problem. Why is this assumption needed? Solution
  5. Find the maximum and minimum values of f(x,y,z)=3x2+y subject to the constraints 4x3y=9 and x2+z2=9. Solution
