Question 3 [25 marks]. (a) Find the minimum and maximum values of the function g: \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}, \quad g(x, y) = x^2 + y^2, subject to the constraint x^4 + y^4 = 1. Also, at which points are these minimum and maximum values achieved? (b) Does the function q: \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}, \quad q(x, y) = y have a maximum value subject to the constraint x + y = 0? Explain why or why not.
