Lagrange Multipliers and Extrema

The video tutorial explains how to use Lagrange multipliers to find the absolute extrema of a function subject to a constraint. It involves setting up and solving a system of equations using partial derivatives. The tutorial demonstrates solving for x and y, finding extrema points, and evaluating function values to determine the absolute maximum and minimum. Finally, it verifies the results graphically.

What is the constraint equation used in the problem?

• x^2 + y^2 = 0

• x^2 - y^2 = 0

• x^2 - y^2 = 81

• x^2 + y^2 = 81

What is the form of the constraint equation g(x, y) used in Lagrange multipliers?

• g(x, y) = x^2 - y^2 - 81

• g(x, y) = x^2 - y^2 + 81

• g(x, y) = x^2 + y^2 - 81

• g(x, y) = x^2 + y^2 + 81

What is the partial derivative of f with respect to x?

• -2x + 5

• 2x + 5

• -2y + 5

• 2y + 5

How do you solve for x in the first equation?

• Add 2x to both sides and divide by lambda

• Subtract 2x from both sides and multiply by lambda

• Add 2x to both sides and factor out 2x

• Subtract 2x from both sides and factor out 2x

What is the relationship between x and y found in the solution?

• x = y/2

• x = y

• x = -y

• x = 2y

What are the possible values for x and y after solving the equations?

• x = ±√2, y = ±√2

• x = ±9, y = ±9

• x = ±2, y = ±2

• x = ±9/√2, y = ±9/√2

What is the approximate function value when both x and y are positive?

• -21.3604

• 148.6396
