Homework Statement
Use Lagrange Multipliers to find the points closest to the origin on the curve defined implicitly by
x2-xy+y2-z2 = 1
x2+y2=1
2. The attempt at a solution
I know how to do this for regular curves, but I don't know where to start with implicitly defined ones. Any hints to get me started? Thanks in advance.
