To maximize and minimize ( f(x,y) = x^2 + 9y^2 - xy ) constrained to ( 3 < xy < 5 ), you first need to find the critical points of the function within the constraint.
- Find the critical points of ( f(x,y) ) by taking partial derivatives with respect to ( x ) and ( y ) and setting them equal to zero.
- Solve for ( x ) and ( y ) from the equations obtained in step 1.
- Check the critical points to ensure they lie within the constraint ( 3 < xy < 5 ).
- Evaluate the function ( f(x,y) ) at each critical point to determine the maximum and minimum values.
However, since the constraint region is non-rectangular, finding the critical points and analyzing the function's behavior becomes more complex and might require numerical methods or graphical analysis.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
