The Lagrangian for this function and the given constraints is

which has partial derivatives (set equal to 0) satisfying

This is a fairly standard linear system. Solving yields Lagrange multipliers of

and

, and at the same time we find only one critical point at

.
Check the Hessian for

, given by


is positive definite, since

for any vector

, which means

attains a minimum value of

at

. There is no maximum over the given constraints.
Answer:
Line: y = Mx + b, passes (0, 1) => M*0 + b = 1 => b = 1
Line: y = Mx + 1, pass (2, 4) => 2M + 1 = 4 => M =3/2
=> Line: y = (3/2)x + 1
Hope this helps!

Answer: 948
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that 4-pound pumpkin will yield about 1.5 cups of mashed pumpkin (pumpkin puree).
Therefore, the number of cups of pumpkin puree that Steve Geddes' 2,528-pound pumpkin will yield will be:
= (2528/4) × 1.5
= 632 × 1.5
= 948 cups of pumpkin puree
