This extreme value problem has a solution with both a maximum value and a minimum value. Use Lagrange multipliers to find the ex

treme values of the function subject to the given constraint. f(x1, x2, ..., xn) = x1 + x2 + ... + xn; x12 + x22 + ... + xn2 = 4

f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=x_1+\cdots+x_n=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^nx_i

{x_1}^2+\cdots+{x_n}^2=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n{x_i}^2=4

The Lagrangian is

L(x_1,\ldots,x_n,\lambda)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^nx_i+\lambda\left(\sum_{i=1}^n{x_i}^2-4\right)

with partial derivatives (all set equal to 0)

L_{x_i}=1+2\lambda x_i=0\implies x_i=-\dfrac1{2\lambda}

for 1\le i\le n, and

L_\lambda=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n{x_i}^2-4=0

Substituting each x_i into the second sum gives

\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\left(-\frac1{2\lambda}\right)^2=4\implies\dfrac n{4\lambda^2}=4\implies\lambda=\pm\frac{\sqrt n}4

Then we get two critical points,

x_i=-\dfrac1{2\frac{\sqrt n}4}=-\dfrac2{\sqrt n}

or

x_i=-\dfrac1{2\left(-\frac{\sqrt n}4\right)}=\dfrac2{\sqrt n}

At these points we get a value of f(x_1,\cdots,x_n)=\pm2\sqrt n, i.e. a maximum value of 2\sqrt n and a minimum value of -2\sqrt n.

Evaluate the surface integral. s y ds, s is the helicoid with vector equation r(u, v) = u cos(v), u sin(v), v , 0 ≤ u ≤ 6, 0 ≤ v
Juliette [100K]

Compute the surface element:

\mathrm dS=\|\vec r_u\times\vec r_v\|\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

\vec r(u,v)=(u\cos v,u\sin v,v)\implies\begin{cases}\vec r_u=(\cos v,\sin v,0)\\\vec r_v=(-u\sin v,u\cos v,1)\end{cases}

\|\vec r_u\times\vec r_v\|=\sqrt{\sin^2v+(-\cos v)^2+u^2}=\sqrt{1+u^2}

So the integral is

\displaystyle\iint_Sy\,\mathrm dS=\int_0^\pi\int_0^6u\sin v\sqrt{1+u^2}\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv

=\displaystyle\left(\int_0^\pi\sin v\,\mathrm dv\right)\left(\int_0^6u\sqrt{1+u^2}\,\mathrm du\right)

=\dfrac23(37^{3/2}-1)
