Find the max&min of the following function :
$\displaystyle f(x,y,z)=8xy-3y^2+32z+5$
subject to the constraint : $\displaystyle 4x^2+y^2+4z^2=24$
By the Lagrang Multipliers' method :
$\displaystyle 8y=\lambda 8x$........(1)
$\displaystyle 8x-6y=\lambda 2y$.......(2)
$\displaystyle 32=\lambda 8z$.......(3)
$\displaystyle 4x^2+y^2+4z^2=24$
(1) will be : $\displaystyle y=\lambda x$
(2) will be : $\displaystyle 4x-3y=\lambda y$
(3) will be : $\displaystyle 4=\lambda z$
then ?!!

factor out and x
$\displaystyle x(-\lambda^2+4-3\lambda) = 0$
x= 0
Now plug that x = 0 into
$\displaystyle y = \lambda x$
and get that y = 0
Last plug x = y = 0
into
$\displaystyle 4x^2 +y^2 +4z^2 =24$
thanks !!
But why did you ignore solving for $\displaystyle \lambda$ in :
$\displaystyle x(-\lambda^2+4-3\lambda) = 0$
??
By using the method of Lagrange, we will get:
$\displaystyle y=\lambda x$ ... (1)
$\displaystyle 4x-3y=\lambda y$ ... (2)
$\displaystyle 4=\lambda z$ ... (3)
$\displaystyle 4x^2+y^2+4z^2=24$ ... (4)
By substituting (1) in (2), we will get the equation : $\displaystyle x(-\lambda^2 - 3\lambda + 4)=0$
$\displaystyle \implies x=0,\lambda=-4,\lambda=1$ ..
when x=0 ---> y=0 , substitute this in 4 ---> $\displaystyle z^2=6 \implies z=\pm \sqrt{6}$
so the first two points are $\displaystyle (0,0,\sqrt{6})$ and $\displaystyle (0,0,-\sqrt{6})$
when $\displaystyle \lambda = 1$ ---> z=4 from (3) ---> y=x from (1) and (2)
So when $\displaystyle \lambda=1$ we have y=x and z=4 , By substituting this in (4) :
$\displaystyle 5x^2+64=24 \implies x^2=-8$ which don't have any solutions
so when $\displaystyle \lambda = 1$, we do not have any points.
when $\displaystyle \lambda=-4$ ---> y=-4x from (1) and z=-1 from (3)
by substituting this in (4) ---> $\displaystyle x^2=1 \implies x=\pm 1$
when x=1 --> y=-4 ---> third point is (1,-4,-1)
when x=-1 ---> y=4 ---> fourth point is (-1,4,-1)
The points are : $\displaystyle (0,0,\sqrt{6}),(0,0,-\sqrt{6}),(1,-4,-1)$ and $\displaystyle (-1,4,-1)$
Find the value of the function at these point, biggest --> max, smallest --> min.
Sorry forgot to copy that part from my worksheet when transfering it on here lol.Quote:
