The boundary of a circular growing cell is given by x^2 + y^2 = (k^2)(t^2) for some constant k with t measured in hours. The strength of a protein signal in the cell is given by f(x, y) = x^3+ (√ 3)y^3 . The cell can begin to divide when the maximum cell strength on its boundary is 4. Using the method of Lagrange multipliers, determine the radius of the cell when this occurs if the protein takes 2 hours to initiate cell division. Determine where on the boundary the maximum occurs at this time.
