Document Summary

Method: to find the maximum or minimum of f(x, y) on d. Find the critical points of f that are inside d (not on the boundary) and evaluate f at each point. Locate and evaluate extreme values of f on the boundary of d. The maximum/minimum of d is on this list. Example: ! (#, %) = #( 2#% + % d = [0, 3] (cid:1) [0, 2] Critical point (a, b): ,! (/, 0) = 1. Only critical point: (1, 1) f(1, 1) = 1. Step 2: split the boundary of d into 4 lines. L1: y = 0 for x [0, 3] (#, 0) = #( for # [0,3] L2: x = 0 for y [0,2] (0, %) = 2% L3: y = 2 for x [0,3] (#, 2) = #( 4# + 4. Maximum is either: (0,2) = 4 or (3,2) = 1.
