Maximum and minimum values

In summary: WduYXRpb24sIGZvciB5b3UgbmVlZCB0aGUgcGFyYW1ldGVyaWF0aW9uLCBhbmQgZm9yIHlvdSBub3QgcHJvYmxlbSB0byBxdWVzdGlvbnMgLi4uIn summary, the maximum value of f(x,y) = x+2y on the disk x^2+y^2 ≤1 is 2 and the minimum value is -2. This can be found by parameterizing the disk as x=cos(t) and y=sin(t) and finding the values of t that give tan(t)

Find the maximum and minimum values of f(x,y) = x+2y on the disk
x2+y^2 ≤1

I have this for now:

f_1(x,y) = 1
f_2(x,y) = 2

x=cos(t) and y=sin(t)

I have that g(t) = x(t) + 2*y(t) --> g(t) = cost(t) + 2*sin(t)

g'(t) = 0 = 2*cost-sin(t)

Then I can see that:

2cos(t)/cos(t) -sin(t)/cos(t) = 0/cos(t) --> tan = 2

That is the parameterization, right?

From this point I have no idea what to do.

Find the value or values of t that give tan(t) = 2. Or, since you only need sin(t) and cos(t), why not express them in terms of tan(t)?

1. What is the difference between maximum and minimum values?

The maximum value refers to the highest possible value in a set of data, while the minimum value refers to the lowest possible value. These values are important in determining the range and variability of the data.

2. How are maximum and minimum values calculated?

To calculate the maximum value, all data points are compared and the highest value is selected. Similarly, to calculate the minimum value, all data points are compared and the lowest value is selected.

3. Why are maximum and minimum values important in research?

Maximum and minimum values are important because they provide information about the extremes of a set of data. This can help researchers understand the distribution of the data and identify any outliers or unusual values.

4. Can maximum and minimum values be the same?

Yes, in some cases, the maximum and minimum values can be the same if there is only one data point in the set or if multiple data points have the same value. This indicates that there is no variability in the data.

5. What factors can affect the maximum and minimum values?

The maximum and minimum values can be influenced by outliers, errors in data collection, or the size of the data set. It is important to carefully examine the data and consider these factors when interpreting the maximum and minimum values.
