Method for maximizing 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) subject to 𝑔 (𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 ) = 𝑘 . Find maximal f(v)=c within the surface g(v)=k; ○ This occurs at v where f(v)=c is tangent to g(v)=k § Tangent: gradient vectors are || ○ where ∇𝑓 (𝑣- ) = 𝜆∇𝑔(𝑣-) where3lambda3is3a3scalar
The Method 1.
2.
Find 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧, 𝜆 such3that a. ∇𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 ) = 𝜆∇𝑔 (𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 ) i. 𝑓! (𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) = λg" (x, y, z) etc. b. 𝑔(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) = 𝑘 Evaluate f at all returned points to find max/min.
Example Maximize the volume of a lidless box made from 12m^2 of cardboard.
**Create the function and its constraint. 𝑉(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) = 𝑥𝑦𝑧 𝑆(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) = 2𝑥𝑧 + 2𝑦𝑧 + 𝑥𝑦 = 12
**Find x, y, z, lambda for the lagrange multiplier equation. ∇𝑉(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) = 𝜆∇𝑆 (𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 ) 𝑉! = 𝜆𝑆! 𝑦𝑧 = 𝜆(2𝑧 + 𝑦) 𝑉# = 𝜆𝑆# 𝑥𝑧 = 𝜆(2𝑧 + 𝑥) 𝑉$ = 𝜆𝑆$ 𝑥𝑦 = 𝜆 (2𝑥 + 2𝑦 ) 𝑆 = 12 2𝑥𝑧 + 2𝑦𝑧 + 𝑥𝑦 = 12
**We can then solve the system using our intuition
