Problem 3

In Exercises $1-6$, identify any extrema of the function by recognizing its given form or its form after completing the square. Verify your results by using the partial derivatives to locate any critical points and test for relative extrema. $$g(x, y)=(x-1)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}$$

Problem 4

Decide whether the problem can be solved using precalculus or whether calculus is required. If the problem can be solved using precalculus, solve it. If the problem seems to require calculus, explain your reasoning and use a graphical or numerical approach to estimate the solution. Find the distance traveled in 15 seconds by an object traveling at a constant velocity of 20 feet per second.
