Answer: 24
Step-by-step explanation: thanks
The answer is 2x + y - 53/2
It will be a negative.
for an example: -20 for x would mqke 2x + 1 into -39 and 8x + 5 into -155. that's 116 apart, so maybe -2(8) + 5 = -11
-2(2) + 1 = -3
but that's only 8 apart, so it'd be higher.
-4(2) + 1 = -7
-4(8) + 5 = -27
BOOM
Tadaaaa,
You probably thought positive, but sometimes it's negative, you know what I mean?
Find the critical points of
:


All three points lie within
, and
takes on values of

Now check for extrema on the boundary of
. Convert to polar coordinates:

Find the critical points of
:



where
is any integer. There are some redundant critical points, so we'll just consider
, which gives

which gives values of

So altogether,
has an absolute maximum of 65/16 at the points (0, -1/2) and (0, 1/2), and an absolute minimum of 3 at (-1, 0).
