@TedShifrin well the theory and problems up to this point in the book (at least in this chapter - equations with two variables) are mostly about finding the infimums and supremums of the equations and stuff like that, so I figure it has to do something with that, but I can't figure out a proper approach
I need some help with an assignment because I cannot understand how to aproach this: "Express a positive number A as a product of three positive numbers so that their sum is minimum." This is the most vague thing I have encountered in my life, any ideas?
