Let f (x, y) = x² + y² and let λ (t) = (x (t), y (t)) be a differentiable curve whose image is contained in the level curve f (x, y) = 1, that is, for all t in the domain of λ, f (x (t), y (t)) = 1 (give an example of such a curve). Let λ (t₀) = (x₀, y₀). Prove that λ '(t₀), ∇f (x₀, y₀) = 0. Interpret geometrically.
Suggestion: for all t in the domain of λ, (x (t))²+ (y (t))² = 1; derive from t and make t = t₀)
Someone? I really need some help with this

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

x2+y2=1
A parametric solution to this is:
x=costy=sint

Because for any value of the parameter t, the function f=1

5) Derive x (t) ^ 2 + y (t) ^ 2 = 1; so we have x (t) x '(t) + y (t) y' (t) = 0, this is λ (t) .λ '(t) = 0 (Scalar product in reais ^ 2). λ (t) describes the position of a moving object in a circle; λ '(t) = (x' (t), y '(t)) is its velocity. The velocity is tangent to the circle and the velocity and position are perpendicular.
