    How to Use LaGrange Multipliers to Find Highest and Lowest Points on an Ellipse?

    It has been a while and trying to brush up on LaGrange points. I want to find the highest and lowest points on the ellipse of the intersection of the cone: x^2+y^2-z^2 ;subject to the single constraint: x+2y+3z=3 (plane). I want to find the points and I am not concerned with the minimum and...

    Solving for Angle of Inclined Plane: 2.3kg Block Sliding Down Frictionless Plane

    Here is the problem: The velocity of a 2.3 kg block sliding down a frictionless inclined plane is found to be 1.12 m/s. 1.20 sec. later it has a velocity of 5.08 m/s. What is the angle of the plane with respect to the horizontal? There is quite a bit of information here. I have gathered some...
