Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2y + 3z = 12

z=\frac{12-x-2y}{3}

Volume = V=f(x,y) = xy(\frac{12-x-2y}{3} )

find partial derivatives using product rule

f_x =\frac{y}{3} (12-2x-2y)\\f_y = \frac{x}{3} (12-x-4y)

i.e.

Using maximum for partial derivatives, we equate first partial derivative to 0.

y=0 or x+y =6

x=0 or x+4y =12

Simplify to get y =2, x = 4

thus critical points are (4,2) (6,0) (0,3)

Of these D the II derivative test gives

D<0 only for (4,2)

Hence maximum volume is when x=4, y=2, z= 4/3

Max volume is = 4(2)(4/3) = 32/3
