Question:

Consider the problem of maximizing f(x, y) = e-(x2 + y2) subject to the constraint g(x, y) = x2 + y - 1 = 0.

(A) Solve the constraint equation for y, and then substitute into f(x, y) to obtain a function h(x) of the single variable x. Solve the original maximization problem by maximizing h (round answers to three decimal places).

(B) Confirm your answer by the method of Lagrange multipliers.
