Question

Let T = g(x, y) be the temperature at the point (x, y) on the ellipse x=22cost,y=2sint,0t2π,x = 2 \sqrt { 2 } \cos t , \quad y = \sqrt { 2 } \sin t , \quad 0 \leq t \leq 2 \pi, and suppose that

Tx=y,Ty=x.\frac { \partial T } { \partial x } = y , \quad \frac { \partial T } { \partial y } = x.

Suppose that T = xy - 2. Find the maximum and minimum values of T on the ellipse.

We have:

T=g(x,y)=xy2g(22,22)=22222=122=32g(22,22)=(22)222=122=52\begin{aligned} T&=g(x,y)=xy-2 \\ g\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)&=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-2=\dfrac{1}{2}-2=-\dfrac{3}{2} \\ g\left(-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)&=\left(-\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-2=-\dfrac{1}{2}-2=-\dfrac{5}{2} \end{aligned}

We get that:

  • Maximum: T=32T=-\frac{3}{2}
  • Minimum: T=52T=-\frac{5}{2}
