Thanks for the simple explanation. May I ask, though, how do we know we didn't find the maximum? Thank you!

[Minji-hxlo]

wheres the process to find the minimization?

[IGReelsEnjoyer]

how about minimizing the surface area of a cuboid? S= (l*w)(2l*2w*4h*)?

hi just for clarifications while moving the 2x to the left side it should be negative right?
