rate of 12km/hr so that z 0

The x-axis points east, the y-axis points north, and the plane is heading north-
west so that −x 0 = y 0 (drawing a picture may help you see this). Substituting
in for x 0 and solving for y 0 we get y 0 ≈ 141 .167. Therefore the velocity vector

∇f = λ∇g and using the constraint, we obtain the equations:
2 x = 4λ 2 y = − 2 λ 4 x − 2 y = 15
Multiplying the second by -2 gives − 4 y = 4λ so combining this with the first
equation we obtain 2x = − 4 y which gives x = − 2 y. Substituting into the third
equation we find x = 3 and y = −

a minimum so we compute f at another point that satisfies the constraint and
