Multivariable Calc Absolute Extrema Problem

AI Thread Summary
To find the absolute extrema of the function F(x,y) = sin(x)sin(y)sin(x+y) over the square defined by 0 ≤ x ≤ π and 0 ≤ y ≤ π, critical points must be identified by calculating the partial derivatives with respect to x and y and setting them to zero. The partial derivative with respect to x is sin(y)[cos(x)sin(x+y) + sin(x)cos(x+y)], leading to critical points at y = 0 and y = π. Similarly, the partial derivative with respect to y is sin(x)[cos(y)sin(x+y) + sin(y)cos(x+y)], yielding critical points at x = 0 and x = π. The discussion highlights the challenge of solving for additional critical points beyond these boundaries. Further exploration is needed to determine the complete set of critical points and evaluate the function at these locations for absolute extrema.

Homework Statement


F(x,y)= sin(x)sin(y)sin(x+y) over the square 0\underline{}<x\underline{}<pi and 0\underline{}<y\underline{}<pi


(The values for x and y should be from 0 to pi INCLUSIVE)

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I know I need to do the partial derivatives in terms of x and y and set them equal to 0 to find the critical points, but I am having some trouble with that.

Do you know \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\sin(x), \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\sin(y) and \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\sin(x+y)? You can use the product rule to put them together- it works the same with partial derivatives. Then do the same but with \frac{\partial}{\partial y}.

I already found that:

partial derivative in terms of x = siny[cosxsin(x+y)+sinxcos(x+y)]
you get y=0, pi because siny =0, but I don't know how to solve for the other solutions


partial derivative in terms of y = sinx[cosysin(x+y)+ sinycos(x+y)]
and you get x=0, pi because sinx=0

and then I have the same problem again and am stuck
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
