Question
Please review the following for accuracy and please provide corrections where necessary: Consider the function f(x, y) = 2x² − y² + 4x + 6y subject to x + 2y = 20 a) Find the extreme point b) Determine the nature of the extreme point I found the first order conditions to be: Equation 1: 4x + 4 - λ = 0 Equation 2: -2y +6 -2λ =0 Equation 3: x+2y-20 =0

(4-2)(-2) = 0 and (4)(1 + 2) = 0
The corresponding eigenvalues are:
