Verifying the Method


Question 7

Use your parametrization from Activity 2 and the command spacecurve to plot the parametric curve which is the restriction of the graph of f(x,y) to the ellipse. Print a copy of this plot, and graphically locate the maximum and minimum values on the curve. You may need to include a couple of different views to support your claim.

Compare your answers to those from the previous question.
