Standard results
(1) f(x) = a sin x  b cos x
max value = , min value = –
(2) f(x) = a2sec2x + b2cosec2x
minimum value = (a + b)2
(3) f(x) = a sec x + b cosec x (a > 0, b > 0)
minimum value = (a2/3 + b2/3)3/2
Q. For the curve =+, the maximum value of r is -
(A) (B) (C) (D) c2(a + b)

Maxima and Minima of Functional of Two Variables
 

If a function is defined in terms of two variables and if these variables are

associated with a given relation then by eliminating one variable, we convert
function in terms of one variable and then find the maxima and minima by
known methods.
Q. If sum of two positive numbers is 6 , then find the maximum
value of their product.
Q. If x > 0 , y > 0 and x4 + y4 = 6 , then find maximum value of xy.
Q. If xy = a and S = bx + cy where a, b and c are positive numbers then
the minimum value of S is -
(A) abc (B) bc
(C) 2abc (D) none
