hi there.. trying to solved this problem.. i solved it until i got max=45 and min = 5
however.. my tutor said my answer was wrong and ask me to check it by myself..
i cant figure out where did i do wrong..
The temperature at a point (x, y) on a metal plate is T(x, y) = 4x^2 ? 4xy + y^2 .
An ant, walking on the plate, traverses a circle of radius 5 centered at the origin.
Using the method of Lagrange multipliers, find the highest and lowest
temperatures encountered by the ant.
i've done until
when y = 2x,
i substitute into x^2+y^2=25
i got x=+-(5)^1/2
when x=-2y,
i substitute into x^2+y^2=25
i got y= +-(5)^1/2
so.. i got my critical points..
---> [(5^1/2) , (5^1/2)]
---> [(5^1/2) , -(5^1/2)]
---> [-(5^1/2) , (5^1/2)]
---> [-(5^1/2) , -(5^1/2)]
my critical points are correct? :?:
