Copy of unconstrained and constrained maximization

The document discusses two types of maximization: unconstrained and constrained. Unconstrained maximization focuses on optimizing a function without restrictions, involving finding stationary points and analyzing derivatives. Constrained maximization involves maximizing a function under specific conditions, often using techniques like Lagrange multipliers and applicable in real-world scenarios with limited resources.

Steps
MAXIMIZATION
1)Find the derivative of the function with
respect to x and y, then put it equals to zero
to find the values of x and y points which is
called as stationary points.
Unconstrained maximization is df/dx = 0 - (1)
an optimization technique used df/dy = 0 - (2)
when you want to maximize (or
minimize) a function without any By solving (1) and (2), we have points

Constrained Maximisation

Maximizing a function subject to


constraints (conditions that must be met).
• Example:

• Solution: Use techniques like the


Lagrange multiplier.
Applications:
• Common in real-world situations with
limited resources or requirements (budget,
time, materials).
We can also solve this with the help of

•Determinants
•Hessian Matrix
