Question
Use Lagrange Multipliers to find the volume of the largest open-top box that has 120 m^2 of surface area, and 70 m of edge length (sum of all edges). Recall that for two constraint functions g1, g2, the method of Lagrange multipliers states that ∇f = λ1∇g1 + λ2∇g2. Please provide a clear and step-by-step explanation. Don't use chat gpt
