i think you can solve by   linear programming

what if the question is  what is the largest and smallest value  of x^2 +xy−2x−3y ?

let k=x^2 +xy−2x−3y  ⇒x^2 +xy−2x−3y−k=0  this is the equation of a hyperbola.  making this curve touch the area  given, we can find the minimum  and maximum value of k.  k_(min) =−((169)/(40))  k_(max) =33

$${let}\:{k}={x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{xy}−\mathrm{2}{x}−\mathrm{3}{y} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{xy}−\mathrm{2}{x}−\mathrm{3}{y}−{k}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${this}\:{is}\:{the}\:{equation}\:{of}\:{a}\:{hyperbola}. \\ $$$${making}\:{this}\:{curve}\:{touch}\:{the}\:{area} \\ $$$${given},\:{we}\:{can}\:{find}\:{the}\:{minimum} \\ $$$${and}\:{maximum}\:{value}\:{of}\:{k}. \\ $$$${k}_{{min}} =−\frac{\mathrm{169}}{\mathrm{40}} \\ $$$${k}_{{max}} =\mathrm{33} \\ $$

sir k_(min ) at point ?

$${sir}\:{k}_{{min}\:} {at}\:{point}\:?\: \\ $$

k_(min)  is when the curve just touches the  topmost line 4.

1≤x+y≤9  (x/2)≤y≤((3x)/2)  the area of x, y is defined by 4 lines:  line 1: x+y=1  line 2: x+y=9  line 3: y=(x/2)  line 4: y=((3x)/2)    let ((9−y)/(9−x))=((y−9)/(x−9))=k  ⇒y=9+k(x−9)  k is the inclination of a line passing  the point S(9,9) and the area described  above.  we see k is maximum when this line (A)  passes the point P and k is minimum  when this line (B) passes the point Q.    point P=intersection of line 3 and 2:  y=(x/2)  x+y=9  ⇒x=6, y=3 ⇒P(6,3)  k_(max) =((9−3)/(9−6))=2  point Q=intersection of line 4 and 2:  y=((3x)/2)  x+y=9  ⇒x=((18)/5), y=((27)/5) ⇒Q(((18)/5),((27)/5))  k_(min) =((9−((27)/5))/(9−((18)/5)))=(2/3)    ⇒(2/3)≤((9−y)/(9−x))≤2
