Homework Statement
Find max/min using L.M of the function :
F(x,y) = x^2 + y^2 ; xy = 1
let G(x,y) = xy - 1
F_x = 2x
F_y = 2y
G_x = y
G_y = x
F_x = L*G_x
F_y = L*G_y
G(x,y) = 1
1) 2x = L * y
2) 2y = L * x
3 ) xy = 1
Now I need to solve those equations.
so x = LY/2 ; y = LX/2
Then if I plug it in I get X = L^2/4 and similar for Y
Not sure how to approach that step
