Definite, Semi-Definite and Indefinite Function

DEFINITE FUNCTION l A real valued function f with domain is said to be

DEFINITE FUNCTION l A real valued function f with domain is said to be positive definite if f(x)>0 and negative definition if f(x)<0

EXAMPLE o The function defination by is positive definite. Here o The function defined

NOTE • A positive definite or a negative definite function is said to be

NOTE • A positive definite or a negative definite function is said to be a definite function.

Semi-Definite § A real valued function f with domain is said to be semi-definite

Semi-Definite § A real valued function f with domain is said to be semi-definite if it vanishes at some points of and when it is not zero, it is of the same sign throughout

EXAMPLE o The function defined by is semi definite as and when where then

INDEFINITE FUNCTION § A real valued function f with domain is said to be

INDEFINITE FUNCTION § A real valued function f with domain is said to be indefinite if it can take values which have different signs i. e. , it is nether definite nor semi definite function.

EXAMPLE o The function indefinite function. Here defined by is an can be positive,

EXAMPLE o The function indefinite function. Here defined by is an can be positive, zero or negative.

MAXIMUM VALUE A function f(x, y) is said to have a maximum value at

MAXIMUM VALUE A function f(x, y) is said to have a maximum value at x=a, y=b if f(a, b)>f(a+h, b+k) for small values of h and k, positive or negative.

MINIMUM VALUE A function f(x, y) is said to have a maximum value at

MINIMUM VALUE A function f(x, y) is said to have a maximum value at x=a, y=b if f(a, b)<f(a+h, b+k) for small values of h and k, positive or negative.

EXTREME VALUE A maximum or a minimum value of a function is called an

EXTREME VALUE A maximum or a minimum value of a function is called an extreme value.

STEP-4 If for a point , we have and then f(x, y) is a maxima for this pair and maximum value is l If for point , we have l and then f(x, y) is a minimum for this pair and minimum value is l If for point then there is neither max. nor minimum of f(x, y). In this case f(x, y) is said to have a saddle at

n If for some point (a, b) the case is doubtful In this case, if for small values of h and k, positive or negative, then f is max. at (a, b). if for small values of h and k, positive or negative, then f is min. at (a, b). If dose not keep the same sign for small values of h and k, then there is neither max. nor minimum value.

LAGRANGE’S METHOD OF UNDETERMINRD MULTIPLERS

Let f(x, y, z) be a function of x, y, z which is to

Let f(x, y, z) be a function of x, y, z which is to be examied for maximum or minimum value and let the variable be connected by the relation ……. (1) Since f(x, y, z) is to have a maximum or minimum value

Multiplying(2) by (3) by and adding, we get, For this equation to be satisfied

Multiplying(2) by (3) by and adding, we get, For this equation to be satisfied identically, coeffs. of dx, dy, dz should be separately zero. Equation (1), (4), (5) and(6) give us the value of x, y, z, for which f(x, y. z)is maximum and minimum.
