Question: Find the absolute maxima and minima of the function
f ( x, y ) 48 xy 32 x3 24 y 2
on the rectangular plate 0 x 1, 0 y 1.
Solution:
Since function is continuous in the given region, it can assume
absolute maximum and minimum values at a point inside the
region or on the boundary where f x 0 f y. y
The region is shown in the figure. y=1
First order partial derivatives of f(x, y) are: x=1
f x ( x, y ) 48 y 96 x 2 f y ( x, y ) 48 x 48 y O

The point 0,0 lies on the boundary.
Here it is intersection of x = 0 and y = 0.
For x = 0, the function
f ( x, y ) 48 xy 32 x3 24 y 2
takes the form f (0, y ) 24 y 2
Where y lies between 0 and 1.
In this range maximum value of function is 0 at y = 0 and
minimum value is -24 at y = 1.
For y = 0, the function takes the form f ( x, 0) 32 x3
Where x lies between 0 and 1.
In this range maximum value of function is 0 at x = 0 and
minimum value is -32 at x = 1.
Other two sides of plate are x =1 and y = 1.
For x = 1 the function f(x,y) takes the form
f (1, y ) 48 y 32 24 y 2
