Find the stationary points of the function f(x,y) = xy subject to the constraint 1/x + 1/y = 1, and find the value for f at these points. So far I have, \[f(x,y) = xy\]\[g(x,y) = {1 \over x} + {1 \over y} -1\] \[H = f(x,y) - \lambda[g(x,y)]\]\[H = xy - {\lambda \over x} - {\lambda \over y} + \lambda \] \[{\delta H \over \delta x} = {y +{ \lambda \over x^2}} = 0\]\[{\delta H \over \delta y} = {x +{ \lambda \over y^2}} = 0\]\[{\delta H \over \delta \lambda} = 1 - {1 \over x} - {1 \over y} = 0\] I've managed to get values for the variables but I can only obtain them in terms dependant
