Problems Maxima And Minima of Function of Two Variables:
1. Find the extreme value of the functions 2xy - 5x2 - 2y2 4x 4y - 6.
Soutions: Let

Solving we get,

The critical point of f is (2/3, 4/3)

Maximum Value;

2. Find the extreme value of the functions x3y2 ( 1 - x- y)
Solutions: Let



Hence the critical point are (0,0) and (1/2,1/3)

Hence the Maximum value is given as;
