5. 5 3D Local Extrema  We will assume that the 3D surface is smooth and has no sharp points or edges.  We will only be concerned about local extrema, not absolute extrema. Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen Business Calculus 12e

6. 6 3D Local Extrema Theorem 1: Let f (a, b) be a local extremum (local minimum or maximum) for the function f. Then f x (a, b) = 0 and f y (a, b) = 0

21. 21 Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen Business Calculus 12e Learning Objectives for Section 8.3 Maxima and Minima The student will be able to solve applications by finding critical points and maxima and minima of functions.

22. 22 Review Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen Business Calculus 12e Case 1. f (a, b) is a local maximum if AC – B 2 > 0 and A < 0 Case 2. f (a, b) is a local minimum if AC – B 2 > 0 and A > 0 Case 3. f (a, b) is a saddle point if AC – B 2 < 0 Case 4. inconclusive if AC – B 2 = 0

23. 23 Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen Business Calculus 12e Example 1 The annual labor and automated equipment cost (in millions of dollars) for producing TV sets is given by C (x, y) = 2x 2 + 2xy + 3y 2 – 16x – 18y + 54, where x is the amount spent per year on labor, and y is the amount spent per year on automated equipment (both in millions of dollars). Minimize the cost (find the minimum of C(x,y))

24. 24 Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen Business Calculus 12e Example 1 (continued) C (x, y) = 2x 2 + 2xy + 3y 2 – 16x – 18y + 54 Step 1. Find the critical point: C x ( x, y) = C y ( x, y) = 4x + 2y – 16 = 0 2x + 6y – 18 = 0 4x + 2y – 16 2x + 6y – 18

25. 25 Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen Business Calculus 12e Example 1 (continued) Step 2. Compute A = C xx (3, 2), B = C xy (3, 2), C = C yy (3, 2). C x (x, y) = 4x + 2y – 16 C y (x, y) = 2x + 6y – 18 C (x, y) = 2x 2 + 2xy + 3y 2 – 16x – 18y + 54

26. 26 Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen Business Calculus 12e Example 1 (continued) Step 3. Evaluate AC – B 2 and classify the critical point. AC – B 2 = 20 Since AC – B 2 > 0 and A > 0, then f(3, 2) = 12 is a local minimum The minimum cost is 12 million dollars. It occurs when they spend 3 million dollars on labor and 2 million dollars on automated equipment per year.

27. 27 Example 2  A satellite TV station is to be located at P(x,y) so that the sum of the squares of the distances from P to the three towns A, B, and C is minimized. Find the coordinates of P that will minimize the cost of providing satellite TV for all three towns. Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen Business Calculus 12e
