What is constrained optimization problem in economics?

Constrained optimization
The idea of constrained optimisation is that the choice of one variable often. affects the amount of another variable that can be used.
Eg if a firm employs more labour, this may affect the amount of capital it.

How do you calculate constrained optimization?

The general technique for optimizing a function f=f(x,y) subject to a constraint g(x,y)=c is to solve the system ?f=??g and g(x,y)=c for x, y, and ?.
We then evaluate the function f at each point (x,y) that results from a solution to the system in order to find the optimum values of f subject to the constraint.

The process of economic optimization entails striving to acquire the best from the economy in terms of profits, production, and utility.
In other words, it entails maximizing the objective functions which contribute towards the best economic outcome.
