How to find absolute mininum/maximum of a function on a set?












1












$begingroup$


I have this function :



$f(x,y)=x²+y²-2y-x$



I want to find the absolute min/max of the function on the set given in the figure below (where L3 is a piece of a circle with center (0, 0).



enter image description here



I've already describes lines 1 and 2 and found their critical points. Now working with L3 i see on the answer sheet that it is described as



$L3=((x,y): x²+y²=3², −3 ≤ x ≤ 0)$



May I ask you where they are getting the 3² ? I know it may be a dumb question but i just recently started studying the concept of absolute min and max, moreover with coordinates that make it quite harder. Thanks!

          The formula of the circle at origin with radius $r$ is $x^2+y^2=r^2$, here the radius is $3$.



          As for the origin problem, you might like to visualize $f$ as



          $$x^2+y^2-2y-x=(x-frac12)^2-frac14+(y-1)^2-1$$

            $L_3$ is a piece of circle centered at origin, and it passes through $(0,3)$. The distance between $(0,3)$ and $(0,0)$ is $3$.

            Sure, you can consider that point too, you will find that the distance to origin (the center of the circle) is constant, $3$.
