Find two numbers whose sum is 24 such that the sum of the square of one plus six times the other is a minimum.
Let the first number.Then the second number will be
Consider the function
Find the first derivative with respect to
Find the critical number(s)
If decreases.
If increases.
The function has a local minimum at
Since the function has the only extremum, then the function has the absolute minimum for at
The first number is The second number is
