Lef . Find the points in where the absolute maximum and the absolute minimum of f over D occur.

Solution:

4. (18 Marks)
Find the absolute extreme values of the function on the ellipsoid .

Solution:

I didn't get the correct answer for this question on the quiz. I redid the question to what I now think is the correct answer, but I have not seen a correct solution for the problem, so I can only hope that the solution that I am providing here is correct.

It might be instructive to note the following level surface of f = 1 (note that it is not one of the extreme values of f). The graph of g is also in the plot. It is the ellipsoid that can be seen at the origin. The extreme value where x = y = z = 0 is of course the graph of nothing (or perhaps just a single point at the origin) and is therefore a minimum on f.
