Homework Statement
Find the point on an given ellipsoid that is the farthest to a given surface.(Distance between point on ellipsoid and surface should be max).
Homework Equations
ellipsoid: [itex]\left(x-3\right)^{2}\over{3}[/itex]+[itex]y^{2}\over{4}[/itex]+[itex]z^{2}\over{5}[/itex] [itex]= 1[/itex]
surface: [itex]3x[/itex]+[itex]4y^{2}[/itex]+[itex]6z[/itex] + [itex] 6=0[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I was thinking about Lagrange multipliers...but I can't figure how to do it. Please help!
