    The document describes using Lagrange multipliers to find the critical points and maximum and minimum distance between two points on two intersecting spheres. It provides the equations for the distance function f, the constraints g and h for each sphere, and calculates the critical points by taking the partial derivatives of the Lagrange function. The maximum distance is 16 and minimum is 0 when evaluated at the critical points.

    A mechanism consists of two horizontal circles, each of radius √ 8and centered at (0,0,0) and at (1, 1, 1),

    respectively. A rod AB of variable length is connecting them, that is A is a variable point on the first circle
    and B is a variable point on the second circle.

    Use Lagrange multipliers technics to calculate the critical points and maximum and minimum of the
    distance AB.

    Since we have two constraints, say g, h, one for each circle, the Lagrange system

    ∇ f =λ ∇ g+ μ ∇ h

    Becomes

    g=c 1

    h=c 2

    g is withcenter ( 0 , 0 , 0 )∧radius =√ 8

    (b) 6 points for finding the critical points


    To find critical point compute

    ∇ f =λ ∇ g+ μ ∇ h

    lagrange=L=∇ f −λ ∇ g−μ ∇ h-
    Compute the partial derivative of L w.r.t x ,y,z, λ , μ

    ∇ f =¿

    ∇ g=( 2 x 1 , 2 y 1 , 2 z1 , 0 , 0 ,0 )

    ∇ h=(0 , 0 , 0 ,2 x 2−2 , 2 y 2−2, 2 z 2−2)

    ∇ f =λ ∇ g+ μ ∇ h

    −2 x 2+2 x 1=2 λ x 1

    −2 y 2+ 2 y 1=2 λ y1

    −2 z 2+2 z 1=2 λ z 1

    2 x 2−2 x 1=2 μx 2−2 μ

    2 y 2−2 y 1=2 μy 2−2 μ

    2 z 2−2 z 1=2 μz 2−2 μ

    -(x 1) −( y 1 ) −( z 1 ) + 8=0

    2 2 2
    −( x 2−1 ) −( y 2−1 ) −( z2 −1 ) + 8=0

    −2 λ x 1+ 2 x 1=2 x 2

    x 2=(1−λ) x1

    y 2=(1−λ) y 1

    z 2=( 1−λ) z1

    (1−μ) x 2=x 1−μ

    (1−μ) y 2= y 1−μ

    (1−μ) z 2=z 1−μ


    2 2
    -(x 1) −( y 1 ) + 8=0

    2 2
    −( x 2−1 ) −( y 2−1 ) +8=0

    since λ∧¿ μ are zero for

    x 2=x 1
    y 2= y 1
    2 2
    -(x 1) −( y 1 ) + 8=0

    2 2
    −( x 1−1 ) − ( y 1−1 ) +8=0

    hence z1=0

    z 2=1 are critical points

    Surface plot
    Graphs are two different spheres with radius 8 and with two different centers. Figure shows the
    intersection of two spheres.

    Maximum is 16 and minimum is 0 by evaluating at critical points.
