13. Find the vertex of f(x)=x2 -6x +8 .

Answer:

a (3,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The number that "completes the square" is the square of half the x-coefficient, (-6/2)^2 = 9. Rearranging the given function to include the square trinomial, we have ...

f(x) = x^2 -6x +9 -1 . . . . . . . here, we have 8 = 9 - 1

f(x) = (x -3)^2 -1 . . . . . . . . . . vertex form

Comparing this to the generic vertex form ...

f(x) = (x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . vertex at (h, k)

we see that h=3 and k=-1.

The vertex is (h, k) = (3, -1).

Use lagrange multiplier techniques to find the local extreme values of f(x, y) = x2 − y2 − 2 subject to the constraint x2 + y2 =

dexar [7]

Given $f(x,\ y)=x^2-y^2-2$ subject to the constraint $x^2+y^2=16$

Let $g(x,\ y)=x^2+y^2$ .

The gradient vectors of $f$ and $g$ are:

$\nabla f(x,\ y)=\langle2x,-2y\rangle$ and $\nabla g(x,\ y)=\langle2x,2y\rangle$

By Lagrange's theorem, there is a number $\lambda$ , such that

$\langle2x,-2y\rangle=\lambda\langle2x,2y\rangle=\langle2\lambda x,2\lambda y\rangle$

$\lambda=\pm1$

It can be seen that $f(x,\ y)=x^2-y^2-2$ has local extreme values at the given region.
