Suppose that a temperature of a metal plate is given by T(x,y)=x2+2x+y2, for points (x,y) on the 
elliptic plate defined by 6x2+5y2≤60. Find the maximum and minimum temperatures on the plate. 
Use Lagrange Multipliers to determine the absolute extrema of f on the indicated constraint.

**Theorem 6**

Let \( f \) be a differentiable function defined on an open set \( O \subset \mathbb{R}^n \), \( n = 2, 3 \), and let \(\vec{r}(t)\), \( t \in I \), be a smooth parameterized curve \( C \) that lies entirely in \( O \). If \( P_0 = \vec{r}(t_0) \) is a point on \( C \) where \( f \) has a local maximum or minimum value relative to the values of \( f \) on \( C \), then:

\[
\nabla f(P_0) \cdot \frac{d\vec{r}}{dt}(t_0) = 0
\]

**Theorem 8: Lagrange Multipliers in \(\mathbb{R}^2\)**

Let \( f \) and \( g \) be differentiable functions defined on a common domain \( D \subset \mathbb{R}^2 \) which is an open set. For a given constant \( k \), let \( C \) denote the level curve defined by \( g(x, y) = k \) and assume \( \nabla g \neq 0 \) on \( C \). If there is a point \( P \) on \( C \) where \( f \) restricted to the level curve \( C \) has a local maximum or minimum value, then \( P \) satisfies the following three equations:

\[
f_x(P) = \lambda g_x(P), \quad f_y(P) = \lambda g_y(P), \quad g(P) = k
\]
