What is the maximum value of the function f(x,y,z)=x+2y+3z,on the curve on intersection on the plane x-y+z=1 and cylinder x^2+y^2-1=0?

The function is subject to 2 constraints: g(x,y,z)
= x-y+z=1 and h(x,y,z) = x^2+y^2-1=0.


We'll use the
Lagrange's five equations to determine the maximum value of the
function.


df/dx = s*(dg/dx) +
t*(dh/dx)


1= s + 2x*t
(1)


df/dy = s*(dg/dy) +
t*(dh/dy)


2 = -s + 2y*t
(2)


df/dz = s*(dg/dz) +
t*(dh/dz)


3 = s (3)


x - y + z
= 1 (4)


x^2+y^2 = 1 (5)


We'll
substitute s = 3 in (1):


s + 2x*t =
1


3  + 2x*t = 1


2x*t =
-2


x*t = -1


x = -1/t
(6)


We'll substitute s = 3 in
(2):


2 = -3 + 2y*t


2yt =
5


y = 5/2t (7)


We'll
substitute (6) and (7) in (5):


(1/t^2) + (25/4t^2) =
1


29/4t^2 = 1


t^2 =
29/4


t1 = -sqrt29/2 ; t2 =
sqrt29/2


x1 = 2/sqrt29 ; x2 =
-2/sqrt29


y1 = -5/sqrt29 ; y2 =
5/sqrt29


z1 = 1 - 7/sqrt29 ; z2 = 1 +
7/sqrt29


The maximum value of f
is:


f max = -2/sqrt29 + 2*5/sqrt29 +
3(1+7/sqrt29)


fmax = -2/sqrt29 + 10/sqrt29 + 3 +
21/sqrt29


fmax = 29/sqrt29 +
3


fmax = 29*sqrt29/29 + 3


fmax
= sqrt29 + 3


The maximum value of f is: fmax
= sqrt29 + 3.

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
