    Minimizing Volume with given equations and certain points. Calculus 32A

    You are correct in that it is supposed to be \frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} + \frac{z}{c} = 1, Sorry, I am not used to this forum. Additionally, the V=(1/6)(a*b*c) So now are you able to help me more?

    Minimizing Volume with given equations and certain points. Calculus 32A

    Homework Statement A plane with equation xa+yb+zc=1 (a,b,c>0) together with the positive coordinate planes forms a tetrahedron of volume V=16abc (as shown in the Figure below) Find the plane that minimizes V if the plane is constrained to pass through a point P=(8,2,3) . Here is a...
