Extreme Values and Lagrange Multiplier Method
(1) Find and classify the critical points of the following functions.
(a) f (x, y) = (y − x)(1 − 2x − 3y).
(b) f (x, y) = xye−8(x +y ) .

(16) Find the highest and lowest points (measured from xy− plane) of the circle whose equa-
tion is formed by the intersection of the spheres
x2 + y2 + z2 = 16
(x + 1)2 + (y + 1)2 + (z + 1)2 = 27.
