31. Let Q be the point on an ellipse closest to a given point P outside...
39. Let L be the minimum length of a ladder that can reach over a fence of height h to a wall located a distance b behind the wall. a. Use Lagrange multipliers to show that L = (h2/3 + 62/3;3/2 (Eigure 20). Hint: Show that the problem amounts to minimizing f (x, y) = (x + b)² + (y+h)? subject to y/b = h/x or ry = bh. b. Show that the value of L is also equal to...
16. xyty Let f(x, y) = x3 + xy + y}, g(x, y) = x3 a. Show that there is a unique point P= (a,b) on 9(x,y) = 1 where fp = 1V9p for some scalar 1. b. Refer to Figure 13 to determine whether $ (P) is a local minimum or a local maximum of f subject to the constraint. c. Does Figure 13 suggest that f(P) is a global extremum subject to the constraint? 2 0 -3 -2...
QUESTION 26 AND 31 PLEASE SHOW STEPS THANK YOU SO MUCH J-2 J-V4-z² Ji 26. Let be the region below the paraboloid x2 + y? = z – 2 %3D that lies above the part of the plane * + Y + z = I in the first octant. Express f (x, y, z) dV as an iterated integral (for an arbitrary function J). 27. Assume J (ª, Y, 2) can be expressed as a product, f (x, y, z)...
