Math 254

This math document provides 4 optimization problems where the goal is to find the minimum and maximum values of a function subject to a given constraint. The 4 problems involve functions of 2 or 3 variables, where the constraint defines a relationship like the sum of squares or a surface area that the variables must satisfy. Solving these types of constrained optimization problems involves using techniques like Lagrange multipliers.

Section 14.8

In Exercises 1-4, find the minimum and maximum values of the function subject to the given
constraint.

1. f (x, y) = 4 x + 6 y , x2 + y 2 = 13

2. f (x, y) = x4 + y 4 , x2 + y 2 = 1

3. f (x, y) = x2 y , x2 + 2 y 2 = 6

4. f (x, y, z) = 8 x 4 z , x2 + 10 y 2 + z 2 = 5
