Maximum integral Consider the plane x + 3y + z = 6 over the rectangle R with vertices at (0, 0), (a, 0), (0, b), and (a, b), where the vertex (a, b) lies on the line where the plane intersects the xy-plane (so a + 3b = 6). Find the point (a, b) for which the volume of the solid between the plane and R is a maximum.
