Answer

The local extrema is 4.

Work Step by Step

Consider f(x,y) = x^{2}*y g(x,y) = x+y-3=0 Hence, f(x,y) = (x^{2})*y + \lambda * (x + y - 3) \frac{df}{dx} = 2*x*y - \lambda \frac{df}{dy} = x^{2} - \lambda \frac{df}{d\lambda} = -x-y+3 Now, \frac{df}{dx} = 0 \frac{df}{dy} = 0 \frac{df}{d\lambda} = 0 Hence, by solving the equation we find, x=2 y=1 Thus, the extremum point is (2, 1). So, f (2,1) = (2^{2}) * 1=4 Hence, the local extrema is 4.
