Consider the problem of minimizing
subject to the constraint
- (A) Solve the constraint equation for y, and then substitute into f(x, y) to obtain a function h(x) of the single variable x. Solve the original minimization problem by minimizing h (round answers to three decimal places).
- (B) Confirm your answer by the method of Lagrange multipliers.
