Solution :1)
This method basically says that if we wish to maximize f(x,y) with a constraint of g(x,y) = c, we introduce the variable  called the Lagrange multiplier.
 
 Then we introduce a new function dependent on x, y, and . We use the symbol  for this new function:
 (x,y,) = f(x,y) + *(g(x,y) - c)
 
 For yours we have:
 (x,y,) = xy + *(2x + 3y - 6)
 
 The partials of  will yield the stationary point if set equal to zero:
 /x = y + 2 = 0
 /y = x + 3 = 0
 / = 2x + 3y - 6 = 0
 
 Solve the system of equations. We have x = -3 and y = -2. Plug these into the last equation to get:
 2(-3) + 3(-2) - 6 = 0
 -12 = 6
  = -1/2
 
 Then:
 x = -3(-1/2) = 3/2
 y = -2(-1/2) = 1
 
 Find the z-value associated with this:
 f(3/2, 1) = (3/2) * (1) = 3/2
 
 Thus the maximum on the constraint is 3/2 which is attained at (x,y) = (3/2, 1)
Solution : 3)
f(x, y, z) = xyz
 g(x,y,z) = 2x + 2y + z - 84
 F(x,y,z,) = xyz - (2x + 2y + z - 84)
 Fx = yz - 2 = 0 => yz = 2 =>  = yz / 2
 Fy = xz - 2 = 0 => xz = 2 = 2(yz / 2) = yz => x = y
 Fz = xy -  = 0 => xy =  = yz / 2 => x = z/2 => z = 2x
 F = - (2x + 2y + z - 84) = 0
 2x + 2y + z = 84
 2x + 2x + 2x = 84
 6x = 84
 x = 14
 y = 14
 z = 28
f(x, y, z) = xyz = 14*14*28 = 5488
Thus the maximum on the constraint is 5488 which is attained at (x,y,z) = (14,14,28) .
