\begin{enumerate}
\item Find and classify the stationary points of each of the following
functions:

\begin{enumerate}
\item $f\left( x,y\right) =x^{3}+y^{3}-\frac{3}{2}x^2-3y+3$,
\item $f\left(x,y\right) =xye^{-\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)}$.
\end{enumerate}
In each case calculate the value of $f(x,y)$ at the stationary points.

\item Use the \emph{Lagrange multiplier method} to find the stationary points
of each of the following functions subject to the corresponding constraints:

\begin{enumerate}
\item  $f\left(x,y,z\right) =x+z+3$\quad \textrm{subject to} \quad
$x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=4$,

\item $f\left(x,y\right) =x^{2}+y^{2}+20$\quad \textrm{subject to} \quad
$x^{2}+8xy+7y^{2}=225$.
\end{enumerate}
In each case calculate the value of $f$ at the stationary points.

\item Use the Lagrange multiplier method to determine the minimum distance from the origin to any point on the surface defined by
$$
2x+4y+6z = 8.
$$

\item   Use the Lagrange multiplier method to determine the minimum distance from the point $(3,-2,1)$ to any point on the surface defined by
$$
x+2y-z = 2.
$$
