Homework Statement
Consider [itex] f(x,y) = \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{y} [/itex]
You need to maximize [itex] f(x,y) [/itex] given the constraint:
[itex] x + y = 11 [/itex]
Homework Equations
I have never solved a problem like this before. In fact I made up a problem a few minutes ago.
The Attempt at a Solution
I can only imagine graphing f(x,y) on the x,y plane and seeing the maximum point of intersection with the plane of constraint. Actually I am not even sure if that is right.
