C) computers.
D) A and B
E) A and C

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solving nonlinear optimization problems using Lagrange multipliers involves finding critical points of a function subject to a constraint. This requires both calculus (finding partial derivatives) and algebra (solving a system of equations). While computers can aid in the calculations, they are not required for the solution. Therefore, choice D, A and B, is the best answer.
