Enter non-integer numerical values as decimals to at least 3 decimal places. Note: you must use a . and not, for a decimal point. The maximum is located at x = Y 4 = andarrow_forwardA gadget manufacturer has developed a profit model that depends on x number of gadgets per month sold and y hours per month of advertising, according to the function P(x, y) = 9x2 + 36xy − 4y2 − 18x − 18y, where P is measured in thousand dollars. If the budgetary constraint is 3x + 4y = 32, use the method of Lagrange Multipliers to find the maximum profit.arrow_forward
