Understanding Extrema of Functions on Bounded Regions

The video tutorial explains how to find the critical points and absolute extrema of a function of two variables over a bounded region. It begins by defining the function and the region, then proceeds to find critical points by setting partial derivatives to zero. The tutorial continues with a boundary analysis using calculus techniques to determine extrema on the boundary. Finally, it identifies the absolute maximum and minimum values of the function within the region.

What is the main objective of the problem discussed in the video?

• To find the intersection points of two functions.
