∻Solution by Steps∻ ‖ step 1 ⋮ The Lagrangian for the given optimization problem is defined as: $L(x, y, \lambda_1, \lambda_2) = -(x + \frac{1}{2})^2 - \frac{1}{2}y^2 + \lambda_1(e^{-x} - y) + \lambda_2(y - \frac{2}{3})$ ‖ ‖ step 2 ⋮ The necessary KKT conditions are: 1. Stationarity: $ abla L = 0$ 2. Primal feasibility: $e^{-x} - y \leq 0$ and $y \leq \frac{2}{3}$ 3. Dual feasibility: $\lambda_1 \geq 0$, $\lambda_2 \geq 0$ 4. Complementary slackness: $\lambda_1(e^{-x} - y) = 0$ and $\lambda_2(y - \frac{2}{3}) = 0$ ‖ ‖ step 3 ⋮ Solving the KKT conditions leads to the approximate maximum value of the function being $-1.04209$ at the point $(x, y) \approx (0.405465, 0.666667)$ ‖ ∻Answer∻ ⚹ The maximum value of the function is approximately -1.04209 at the point (0.405465, 0.666667). ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Lagrangian and KKT conditions are essential tools in constrained optimization problems. ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The Lagrangian incorporates the objective function and constraints, while the KKT conditions provide necessary criteria for optimality in the presence of constraints. ⚹◊What are the conditions for a function to be optimal at a point in a constrained optimization problem?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
