Calculus III. Please show all work and mark the answer(s)!
1) Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of the function f(x, y) = x^2 + y^2 subject to the constraint xy = 1.
2) Use Lagrange Multipliers to find the point on the curve 2x + 3y = 6 that is closest to the origin. Hint: let f(x, y) be the distance squared from the origin to the point (x, y), then find the minimum of f subject to the constraint that the point (x, y) must be on the given curve.
Thank you in advance.
