Working Rule to Solve a Problem on Maxima, Minima
We shall follow the following procedure to solve a problem on maxima, minima.
Step 1: Find fy fy foxs fry ANG hye
Step Il: Solve the equations f= 0, fy= 0.
Step Ill: Find the values of r= fx. S= fy t= fy at the roots obtained in step Il.
lfrt-s?>0 and r<0 then f(x, y) is maximum.
Ifrt-s?>0and r>0 then f(x, y) is minimum.
Ifr=0 (or t= 0) f(x, y) is neither maximum nor minimum.
