Using Lagrange multipliers, solve the system of equations:
- $2x=\lambda(8x)+2\mu$
- $2y=\lambda(8y)$
- $2z=\lambda(-2z)+4\mu$
with constraints:
$4x^2+4y^2-z^2=0$ and $2x+4z=7$
So solving for $\lambda$ in (2), I get $\lambda=\frac{1}4$, and continuing I get $\mu=0, z=0, x=\frac{7}2$ but for $y$ I get an imaginary number. Am I doing something wrong here? I am sure that the equations and constraints are correct.
