The Attempt at a Solution
I have no idea how to solve this problem specifically, but I do recall a technique called lagrange multipliers that may come in handy. If anyone could direct me to a computer program that would do the calculations for me or help me solve this problem non-numerically I would be very grateful. Thank you!
