Maximum Value (Posted on 2002-06-19)

We have :

      x^2+xy+y^2=3 and
      y^2+yz+z^2=16
      A=xy+yz+zx

Find the maximum value of A. Find x, y and z when A=max value.

D'oh! Just realized that the gradients didn't come out. I guess the angle brackets got parsed as HTML tags. Anyway, what I MEANT was:

grad[g1(p)] = {2x + y, x + 2y, 0}
grad[g2(p)] = {0, 2y + z, y + 2z}
grad[f(p)] = {y + z, x + z, x + y}
