3.1problems On Two Variables

This document provides examples of unsolved problems involving finding extreme values (maxima and minima) of functions with two variables. The problems include: 1) Finding the extreme values of five functions of x and y. 2) Using Lagrange's Method to find extreme values of functions on ellipses, lines, and curves defined by equations, and to find dimensions of shapes that maximize certain quantities like area while satisfying constraints.
