Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the function f(x, y) = xy and the constraint x + y = 10, use the Lagrange multiplier method to find the maximum value.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Make sure to substitute back the constraint into your equations.

Question 2

Using KKT conditions, analyze the function f(x) = x^2 with the constraint x β‰₯ 1. Determine if there are any optimal points at the boundary.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember, complementary slackness helps you identify active constraints.
