Use the method of Lagrange Multipliers to find any maximum or minimum values of the function f(x, y)=x2+y2 subject to the constraint xy=1.

possible maximum and minimum values : f (1,1),  f (-1,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function :

f(x,y) = x^2 + y^2

constraint = xy = 1

attached below is the detailed solution of the method of using Lagrange method of Multipliers  to find the maximum and minimum values of the function

question: how many people can she serve?

answer: she can serve 16.66666667 people. so she can only give 16 people a complete serving.

question: does she have enough ice cream for her guests?

answer: no. explanation: she only has enough for 16 people to have a full serving. however, she can give a 17th person a partial serving.
