The Attempt at a Solution


see problem 7 attempt attachment
I found the fgrad and ggrad and hgrad. I set fgrad equal to lambda*ggrad+mu*hgrad. using the two constraint equations I was able to solve for x,y,z,lambda,mu. However again I am not sure what to do with these values. Also in this problem is states find the extreme values. does that mean I need to find MIN and MAX. and if so how do i do that. Also can someone please check to see if my algebra is correct in solving for x,y,z,lamdba,mu. Thank you

Thread 'Finding the nth roots of a complex number'

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
