Use Lagrange multipliers to find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinate planes and one vertex in the given plane. x + 9y + 4z = 27

The volume of the largest rectangular box (V) = 81/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

Given volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant

V = l b h

let (x ,y, z) be the one vertex in the given plane

V = f(x, y, z) = x y z

given plane.   Ф (x, y, z) = x + 9y + 4z = 27 ........(1)

Step( ii):

By using  Lagrange multipliers

Suppose it is required to find the extreme for the function f(x, y, z) subject to the condition Ф (x, y, z) =0

Form Lagrange function F(x, y, z) = f(x, y, z) + λ  Ф (x, y, z) where λ is called the Lagrange multipliers

F(x, y, z) = x y z+ λ ( x + 9y + 4z - 27) ......(2)

Obtain the equations are δ F / δ x = 0

                                  δ f / δ x +λ  δ Ф  / δ x =0

                           ⇒ y z + λ ( 1) = 0

                          ⇒ y z = - λ ......(a)

Obtain the equations are δ F / δ y = 0

                            δ f / δ x +λ  δ Ф  / δ x =0

                        ⇒ x z + λ ( 9) = 0

                        ⇒ = - λ .......(b)

Obtain the equations are δ F / δ z = 0

                                  δ f / δ x +λ  δ Ф  / δ z =0

                                   x y + λ ( 4) = 0

                                    ⇒ = - λ .......(c)

Step (iii):-

Equating (a) and (b) equations

we get        

cancel 'z' value we get  x = 9y  .......(d)

Equating (b) and (c) equations

we get    

cancel 'x' value on both sides , we get

              4z =9y  ......(e)

substitute (d) (e) values in equation (1)  we get

x + 9y + 4z -27 = 0

9y + 9y + 9y -27 =0

27y -27 =0

y = 1

substitute y =1 in x = 9y

x = 9

substitute y =1 in 4z =9y

z = 9 /4

therefore the dimensions are x =9 , y=1 and z = 9 /4

Conclusion:-

The largest volume of the rectangular box V = x y z

substitute x =9 , y=1 and z = 9 /4

V = 9(1)(9/4) =81/4

The largest volume of the rectangular box (V) = 81/4

Verification :-

Given plane x + 9y + 4z = 27

substitute x =9 , y=1 and z = 9 /4

              9 + 9 + 4(9/4) = 27

           27 =27

so satisfied equation
