Given the function f(a,b,c)=bc3ab2+a+a+112 with the constraint b+c=1, we are asked to find its minimum value for positive real numbers a,b,c
step 2
Substitute c=1−b into the function due to the constraint b+c=1
step 3
The function simplifies to f(a,b)=b(1−b)3ab2+a+a+112
step 4
The asksia-ll calculator did not find a global minimum for the function
Answer
The function does not have a global minimum.
Key Concept
Optimization with Constraints
Explanation
When optimizing a function with constraints, substitution is often used to reduce the number of variables. However, not all functions have a global minimum, especially in an unbounded domain for positive real numbers.
