Find the extremum of f(x,y) subject to the given constraint, and state whether it is a maximum or a minimum. f(x,y)=xy; 6x y=10

Sagot :

There is a maximum value of 7/6 located at (x, y) = (5/6, 7).

The function given to us is f(x, y) = xy.

The constraint given to us is 6x + y = 10.

Rearranging the constraint, we get:

6x + y = 10,

or, y = 10 - 6x.

Substituting this in the function, we get:

f(x, y) = xy,

or, f(x) = x(10 - 6x) = 10x - 6x².

To find the extremum, we differentiate this, with respect to x, and equate that to 0.

f'(x) = 10 - 12x ... (i)

Equating to 0, we get:

10 - 12x = 0,

or, 12x = 10,

or, x = 5/6.

Differentiating (i), with respect to x again, we get:

f''(x) = -12, which is less than 0, showing f(x) is maximum at x = 5/6.

The value of y, when x = 5/6 is,

y = 12 - 6x,

or, y = 12 - 6*(5/6) = 7.

The value of f(x, y) when (x, y) = (5/6, 7) is,

f(x, y) = xy,

or, f(x, y) = (5/6)*7 = 7/6.

Thus, there is a maximum value of 7/6 located at (x, y) = (5/6, 7).
