    Optimization using Lagrange multipliers

    the points all equal 2(max). i still need to find the min which according to the answer key is sqrt2, I don't know how to get that.

    How Do You Calculate the Gradient at a Point in a Function?

    ok i set the system of equation and I'm getting nowhere. grad f1 = .5i + .5j grad f2 = .2981i + .1491j how do i set up the system of equation.

    Ground speed of a plane - vectors

    yea i thought as much but isn't the y-component of the windspeed part of the airspeed? Can you show me how to solve this problem?
