Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given the function f(x, y) = xy and the constraint x + y = 10, use the Lagrange multiplier method to find the maximum value.
💡 Hint: Make sure to substitute back the constraint into your equations.
Using KKT conditions, analyze the function f(x) = x^2 with the constraint x ≥ 1. Determine if there are any optimal points at the boundary.
💡 Hint: Remember, complementary slackness helps you identify active constraints.
