The maximum possible value of x²+y²-4 x-6 y, x, y real, subject to the condition |x+y|+|x-y|=4
Options
- Ais 12
- Bis 28
- Cis 72
- Ddoes not exist
Correct answer
B. is 28
Step-by-step solution
|x+y|+|x-y|=4 represent a square x²+y²-4 x-6 y=(x-2)²+(y-3)²-13= (distance point on square from (2,3))²-13 Maximum =(-2-2)²+(-2-3)²-13=28
