Question 24 |
---|
Find the absolute maximum of the function on the rectangular domain and . |
Make sure you understand the problem fully: What is the question asking you to do? Are there specific conditions or constraints that you should take note of? How will you know if your answer is correct from your work only? Can you rephrase the question in your own words in a way that makes sense to you? |
If you are stuck, check the hint below. Consider it for a while. Does it give you a new idea on how to approach the problem? If so, try it! |
Hint |
---|
Recall that on a closed domain, the absolute maximum (or absolute minimum) is found on the boundary of the domain. |
Checking a solution serves two purposes: helping you if, after having used the hint, you still are stuck on the problem; or if you have solved the problem and would like to check your work.

Please rate my easiness! It's quick and helps everyone guide their studies. We know the absolute maximum is found on the boundary of the domain. We can also see from the function and its domain that has a positive coefficient, has a negative coefficient, and the intervals where and can exist are both positive. From this we can deduct that will be maximised when is at the upper bound of its domain, and is at the lower bound of its domain. This is |
