Detailed Solution

a2x4+b2y4=c6
or      y=c6a2x4b21/4
or     f(x)=xy=xc6a2x4b21/4
             =c6x4a2x8b21/4
Differentiate f (x) w.r.t x, we get
f(x)=14c6x4a2x8b23/44x3c6b28x7a2b2
f(x)=04x3c6b28x7a2b2=0
or    x4=c62a2 or x=±c3/221/4a
At   x=c3/221/4a,f(x)will be maximum. So,
      fc3/221/4a=c122a2b2c124a2b21/4=c124a2b21/4
                                                                 =c32ab
Alternative method:
Since AMGM.,
      a2x4+b2y42a2x4b2y4
or    abx2y2c62
or    xyc32ab
Hence, maximum value of xy is c32ab.
