The Lagrangian for this problem is

L(x,y,\lambda)=x^2+3y^2+\lambda(x+y-1)

and has partial derivatives

\begin{cases}L_x=2x+\lambda\\L_y=6y+\lambda\\L_\lambda=x+y-1\end{cases}

Set each partial derivative equal to 0 and solve for x and y:

\begin{cases}2x+\lambda=0\\6y+\lambda=0\\x+y=1\end{cases}

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we get

2x-6y=0\implies x-3y=0

and subtracting this from the third equation yields

4y=1\implies y=\dfrac14

which means

x+\dfrac14=1\implies x=\dfrac34

So a critical point occurs at \left(\dfrac34,\dfrac14\right) (or (0.750, 0.250)). The minimum value would then be f\left(\dfrac34,\dfrac14\right)=\dfrac34=0.750.

hichkok12 [17]
We have the following remark
-81/-54= -54/-36 = -36/ -24=...= 1.5
the sequence is geometric sequence
the common ratio of the sequence is 1.5
the sum of the five terms of the sequence is 
S5= a[1- (1.5)^5  / 1-1.5],  a first term, 
S5= -42*6.5= - 276
