Hello, can somebody please help: I want to visualize that for x+y=1, maximum x*y occurs when y=0.5 and x=0.5. Graphically, this can be visualized as the maximum of the projection curve of the x+y=1 line in the x-y plane, at the x*y surface. Equivalently, we can look for the maximum in the intersection curve between the surface x*y and the surface peripendicular to the x-y plane with the base x+y=1. Can I plot this in a simple manner? Thanks in advance! Dusko
