I have an problem with the function to optimize with lagrange multipliers

31 Views Asked by At

I need help with the restriction of the problem, because i cannot find the function to optimize.

The problem: Find the maximum and minimum distances from the origin to the curve $g\left(x,y\right)=5x^{2}+6xy+5y^{2}=8$

I do not want to solve the problem, just help me find the function to optimize.
