Section 14.8: Lagrange Multipliers

Exercise 2

  1. Use a graphing calculator or computer to graph the curve with equation \(x^3 + y^3 = 3xy\). At what point on the curve does it seem that the tangent line is horizontal?
  2. Use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the exact coordinates of the point in part (a).
