3. Write down formulas for the quantity to be maximized (or minimized) and for the quantity to be
constrained in terms of your assigned variables.
4. Use your constraint formula, by solving for one variable in terms of the other, to determine the
function f (x) to be maximized (or minimized) on the interval I.
5. Using previously learned methods, find the absolute maximum (or minimum) value of f (x) on
the interval I and the value(s) of x where this occurs.
1. Find two non-negative numbers whose sum is 44 and whose product is a minimum.
