Partial Derivatives

f x, y  L1, then for 2 > 0, there corresponds 1 > 0 such that f x, y  L1 < 2 whenever

0 < x  a2   y  b2 < 1.


Since

gx, y  L2, then for 2 > 0, there corresponds  2 > 0 such that gx, y  L 2 < 2 whenever

0 < x  a2   y  b2 < 2.


Let  be the smaller of  1 and 2. By the triangle inequality, whenever x  a2   y  b2 < , we have

 f x, y  L 1  gx, y  L 2

the level surface of F at x0, y0, z0 is of the form Fx, y, z  C for some constant C. Let

Then Gx0, y0, z0  Fx0, y0, z0 where Gx0, y0, z0 is normal to Fx0, y0, z0  C  0.
Therefore, Fx0, y0z0 is normal to Fx0, y0, z0  C.

17. Let h be the height of the trough and r the length of the slanted sides. We observe that the area of a trapezoidal cross section is
given by

w  2r  2w  2r  2x  w  2r  xh

Ah

where x  r cos  and h  r sin . Substituting these expressions for x and h, we have
Ar,   w  2r  r cos r sin   wr sin   2r 2 sin   r 2 sin  cos 
Now
Arr,   w sin   4r sin   2r sin  cos   sin w  4r  2r cos   0 w  r 4  2 cos 
Ar,   wr cos   2r 2 cos   r 2 cos 2  0.
Substituting the expression for w from Arr,   0 into the equation Ar,   0, we have
r 24  2 cos cos   2r 2 cos   r 22 cos2   1  0
1
r 22 cos   1  0 or cos   .
2
Therefore, the first partial derivatives are zero when    3 and r  w 3. (Ignore the solution r    0.) Thus, the
trapezoid of maximum area occurs when each edge of width w 3 is turned up 60 from the horizontal.

Note: The minimum occurs at x, y  0.0555, 0.3992
(f) Sx, y points in the direction that S decreases most rapidly. You would use Sx, y for maximization problems.
25. Write the equation to be maximized or minimized as a function of two variables. Set the partial derivatives
equal to zero (or undefined) to obtain the critical points. Use the Second Partials Test to test for relative extrema
using the critical points. Check the boundary points, too.

Solving this system yields x1 94 and x2 157.
Px1x1  0.9
Px1x2  0.8
Px2x2  0.86
Px1x1 < 0
Px1x1 Px2x2  Px1x22 > 0
Therefore, profit is maximum when x1 94 and x2 157.
