Thread: I need to find the absolute extrema

This is the problem...


on the closed triangular region, , with vertices

I know I need to find the critical points so I found...

and , right?

So to make the values of and so there is a critical point at , right?

This is where I go blank on how to finish this.

Yes, however, the absolute extrema might occur on the boundaries rather than at a critical point.

I understand that but that was the first step in finding the absolute extrema
