Homework Statement
Find the greatest value of [itex]x^3y^4[/itex] if 2x+3y=7 and x>=0,y>=0
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Let the 7 numbers be (x/3) 3 times and (y/4) 4 times
Using AM GM inequality
[itex]
\dfrac{ 3.\frac{x}{3} + 4.\frac{y}{4}}{7} \geq \left[ \left( \frac{x}{3}\right)^3 . \left( \frac{y}{4}\right)^4\right]^{1/7} \\
\left( \dfrac{x+y}{7} \right)^7 \times 3^3.4^4 \geq x^3y^4
[/itex]
But I'm stuck here :(
