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
