Constrained Maxima and Minima by Lagrangian Multiplier method
15 Minutes: Introduction with Simple Explanation and Idea
30 Minutes: Steps of the Method With Simple Example
05 Minutes: Summary
1. State the steps of Lagrange’s Multiplier Method for constrained extrema.
2. Using Lagrange’s method, find the maximum and minimum of f(x,y) = xy subject to x^2 + y^2 = 1.
3. Can a saddle point occur in constrained optimization? Explain.
4. Solve f(x, y) = x^2 + y^2 subject to x + y = 4 using Lagrange multipliers.
5. Give an example where the Lagrange multiplier method yields multiple extrema for the same constraint.
