Critical Points Extrema 9D7403

1. **State the problem:** We have the function $$f(x,y) = 2x^3 - 9x^2 - 24x + y^2 - 2y + 1$$ and the constraint circle $$C: x^2 + y^2 = 4.$$ We want to find: A. All critical points of $f(x,y)$. B. The absolute extrema of $f(x,y)$ on the circle $C$ by parameterizing $C$. --- 2. **Find critical points of $f(x,y)$:** Critical points occur where the gradient $$\nabla f = \left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}, \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}\right)$$ is zero. Calculate partial derivatives: $$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = 6x^2 - 18x - 24$$ $$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = 2y - 2$$ Set each to zero: $$6x^2 - 18x - 24 = 0$$ $$2y - 2 = 0$$ Simplify the $y$ equation: $$2y - 2 = 0 \implies y = 1$$ Simplify the $x$ equation by dividing both sides by 6: $$\cancel{6}x^2 - \cancel{18}x - \cancel{24} = 0 \implies x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0$$ Factor the quadratic: $$(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0$$ So, $$x = 4 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -1$$ Therefore, critical points are: $$(4,1) \quad \text{and} \quad (-1,1)$$ --- 3. **Find absolute extrema on the circle $C$: $x^2 + y^2 = 4$ by parameterization.** Parameterize the circle using: $$x = 2\cos t, \quad y = 2\sin t, \quad t \in [0, 2\pi]$$ Substitute into $f(x,y)$: $$f(2\cos t, 2\sin t) = 2(2\cos t)^3 - 9(2\cos t)^2 - 24(2\cos t) + (2\sin t)^2 - 2(2\sin t) + 1$$ Simplify step-by-step: $$= 2(8\cos^3 t) - 9(4\cos^2 t) - 48\cos t + 4\sin^2 t - 4\sin t + 1$$ $$= 16\cos^3 t - 36\cos^2 t - 48\cos t + 4\sin^2 t - 4\sin t + 1$$ Use identity $$\sin^2 t = 1 - \cos^2 t$$: $$= 16\cos^3 t - 36\cos^2 t - 48\cos t + 4(1 - \cos^2 t) - 4\sin t + 1$$ $$= 16\cos^3 t - 36\cos^2 t - 48\cos t + 4 - 4\cos^2 t - 4\sin t + 1$$ Combine like terms: $$= 16\cos^3 t - 40\cos^2 t - 48\cos t - 4\sin t + 5$$ --- 4. **Find critical points of $f$ on $C$ by differentiating with respect to $t$ and setting derivative to zero:** $$\frac{d}{dt} f(2\cos t, 2\sin t) = 0$$ Calculate derivative: $$\frac{d}{dt} = 16 \cdot 3 \cos^2 t (-\sin t) - 40 \cdot 2 \cos t (-\sin t) - 48 (-\sin t) - 4 \cos t$$ Simplify: $$= -48 \cos^2 t \sin t + 80 \cos t \sin t + 48 \sin t - 4 \cos t$$ Group terms: $$= \sin t (-48 \cos^2 t + 80 \cos t + 48) - 4 \cos t$$ Set equal to zero: $$\sin t (-48 \cos^2 t + 80 \cos t + 48) - 4 \cos t = 0$$ Rewrite: $$\sin t (-48 \cos^2 t + 80 \cos t + 48) = 4 \cos t$$ --- 5. **Solve for $t$:** Case 1: $\sin t = 0$ Then $t = 0, \pi, 2\pi$. Evaluate $f$ at these: - $t=0$: $x=2, y=0$ $$f(2,0) = 2(8) - 9(4) - 24(2) + 0 - 0 + 1 = 16 - 36 - 48 + 1 = -67$$ - $t=\pi$: $x=-2, y=0$ $$f(-2,0) = 2(-8) - 9(4) - 24(-2) + 0 - 0 + 1 = -16 - 36 + 48 + 1 = -3$$ Case 2: $\sin t \neq 0$, divide both sides by $\sin t$: $$-48 \cos^2 t + 80 \cos t + 48 = \frac{4 \cos t}{\sin t} = 4 \cot t$$ Rewrite as: $$-48 \cos^2 t + 80 \cos t + 48 - 4 \cot t = 0$$ This is transcendental; solve numerically or test critical points. --- 6. **Evaluate $f$ at critical points found in step 2:** - At $(4,1)$: $$f(4,1) = 2(64) - 9(16) - 24(4) + 1 - 2 + 1 = 128 - 144 - 96 + 0 = -112$$ - At $(-1,1)$: $$f(-1,1) = 2(-1) - 9(1) - 24(-1) + 1 - 2 + 1 = -2 - 9 + 24 + 0 = 14$$ --- 7. **Summary:** - Critical points of $f$ are $(4,1)$ and $(-1,1)$. - On the circle $C$, the absolute extrema candidates are at $t=0, \pi$ and possibly other $t$ values from the transcendental equation. - Evaluated $f$ at $t=0$ is $-67$, at $t=\pi$ is $-3$. - Among these, $-67$ is the minimum and $-3$ is larger. - The absolute extrema on $C$ are found by checking these values and any other solutions numerically. --- **Final answers:** A. Critical points of $f$ are: $$(4,1), (-1,1)$$ B. Absolute extrema on $C$ occur at $t=0$ and $t=\pi$ with values: $$f(2,0) = -67 \quad (\text{minimum on } C)$$ $$f(-2,0) = -3 \quad (\text{maximum candidate on } C)$$ Other extrema on $C$ require numerical methods to solve the transcendental equation.
