Module 13 :  Maxima, Minima and Saddle Points, Constrained maxima and minima
Lecture 39 :  Constrained maxima / minima [Section 39.2]
 

i.e.,

It is easy to check that the points that satisfy these equations are

Since the unit circle is closed and bounded and is continuous on it, attains its absolute maximum/minimum on it, and are the largest/smallest of the values

and

Thus, has absolute maximum , absolute minimum .

(ii)
Let us find the minimum of the function
 

The equations

we have
