Consider the following optimization problem: minimize f(x1, x2) = 3x² − 12x₁ + 4x² − 24x2 subject to x₁ + x₂ = 12. 1. Solve this problem ignoring the equality constraint. 2. Solve the problem considering the equality constraint. Compute the Lagrange multi- plier of the constraint. What is its physical interpretation?
