Find maximum value under constraints by Lagrange multipliers or another method












0












$begingroup$


Let $f(x,y)=(x + 2y)^2 + (3x + 4y)^2.$



Then for $(x,y)$ on the circle $x^2+y^2=1 $ what is the maximum value of $f$?



I tried to use Lagrange multiplier method with the constraint $g(x,y)= x^2 + y^2 =1.$



However, now I realize that this way is so complicated on this problem
($lambda = 15 pm sqrt{221}$)



How can I solve this problem?

If Lagrange's is not mandatory, WLOG choose $x=cos t, y=sin t$ to find



$$f(x,y)=Acos^2t+Bsin tcos t+Csin^2t=g(t)text{(say)}$$



Use $cos2t=1-2sin^2t=2cos^2t-1,sin2t=2sin tcos t$ to find $g(t)$ to be of the form $$pcos2t+qsin2t+r$$



Now use $-sqrt{p^2+q^2}le pcos2t+qsin2tlesqrt{p^2+q^2}$

This is simple enough that you can use your constraint as a substitution, i.e., $y = sqrt{1 - x^2}$.



Then your function is:



$$f(x) = left(2 sqrt{1-x^2}+xright)^2+left(4 sqrt{1-x^2}+3 xright)^2$$



enter image description here



Its derivative is:



$${d f(x) over dx} = -frac{4 left(14 x^2+5 sqrt{1-x^2} x-7right)}{sqrt{1-x^2}}$$



Set it to zero and find:



$$x = left{-sqrt{frac{1}{2}+frac{5}{2 sqrt{221}}},sqrt{frac{1}{442} left(221-5 sqrt{221}right)}right} approx { -0.817416, 0.576048 }$$



where clearly one is a minimum, the other a maximum.



For "culture," here is the figure in three dimensions:

Exact solution with Lagrange multiplier method is:
$$f_{min}=15-sqrt{221}approx0.134$$
if
$$x=frac{sqrt{5 sqrt{221}+221}}{sqrt{442}}approx0.817,;
y=-frac{sqrt{221-5 sqrt{221}}}{sqrt{442}}approx-0.576$$
or
$$x=-frac{sqrt{5 sqrt{221}+221}}{sqrt{442}}approx-0.817,;
y=frac{sqrt{221-5 sqrt{221}}}{sqrt{442}}approx0.576$$

    It is possible to find the solution by using the polar coordinates:



    $$f(theta) = 10cos^2theta + 20sin^2theta + 28sinthetacostheta = 10 + 10sin^2theta + 14sin2theta$$



    The extrema are found by deriving:



    $$f'(theta) = 20sintheta costheta + 28cos2theta = 10sin2theta + 28cos2theta = 0$$



    And we get
    $$theta = -frac{1}{2} arctanfrac{14}{5} + kfrac{pi}{2} $$
    where $k$ is any integer between $0$ and $3$



    We can check numerically that the maximum corresponds to
    $$theta = -frac{1}{2} arctanfrac{14}{5} + kpi approx -0.6138 + kpi$$



    where $k$ is equal to $0$ or $1$



    This corresponds to $x approx 0.81754, ,y approx -0.576$ and $x approx -0.81754, ,y approx 0.576$

      The maximum value of a quadratic form on the unit circle is equal to its largest eigenvalue. $f$ simplifies to $10x^2+28xy+20y^2$ and so the eigenvalues of $f$ are the roots of $lambda^2-30lambda+4$.

                It is possible to find the solution by using the polar coordinates:



                $$f(theta) = 10cos^2theta + 20sin^2theta + 28sinthetacostheta = 10 + 10sin^2theta + 14sin2theta$$



                The extrema are found by deriving:



                $$f'(theta) = 20sintheta costheta + 28cos2theta = 10sin2theta + 28cos2theta = 0$$



                And we get
                $$theta = -frac{1}{2} arctanfrac{14}{5} + kfrac{pi}{2} $$
                where $k$ is any integer between $0$ and $3$



                We can check numerically that the maximum corresponds to
                $$theta = -frac{1}{2} arctanfrac{14}{5} + kpi approx -0.6138 + kpi$$



                where $k$ is equal to $0$ or $1$



                This corresponds to $x approx 0.81754, ,y approx -0.576$ and $x approx -0.81754, ,y approx 0.576$

                        The maximum value of a quadratic form on the unit circle is equal to its largest eigenvalue. $f$ simplifies to $10x^2+28xy+20y^2$ and so the eigenvalues of $f$ are the roots of $lambda^2-30lambda+4$.
