The function f(x,y,z) = sin(x^2 + y^2)cos(z) is analyzed under the constraint x^2 + y^2 = 4t with z fixed at π/4. The derivative f' is calculated as 2√2cos(4t), and setting this equal to zero leads to critical points for t. The solution yields t = π/8, which is classified as a minimum. Further analysis may be needed to confirm the behavior of the function around this point.

$\text{Find the value(s) of $t$ corresponding to the extrema of}$
$$f(x,y,z)=\sin(x^2+y^2)\cos(z)$$
$\text{subject to the constraints} $
$$\text{$x^2+y^2=4t, 0\le t\le\pi$, and $z=\frac{\pi}{4}$}$$
$\text{Classify each extremum as a minimum or maximum.}$
\begin{align*} \displaystyle
f_7(x,y,z)&=\sin(4t)\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\\
&=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\sin(4t)\\
f_7^\prime&=2\sqrt{2}\cos(4t)\\
&\textbf{got lost here}\\
\therefore t&=\color{red}{\frac{\pi}{8} , \textit{min}}
\end{align*}

Set the derivative equal to 0 and solve for t...
