See a worked out example of how to use Lagrange Multipliers to solve constrained optimization problems! In this problem, we are designing a cylindrical soda can with radius r and height h. If we require the soda can to hold a fixed volume? How can we set the dimensions so that the surface area is minimized in order to save on production costs?
Intended Audience: Early Calculus Students/ Multivariable Calculus Students
