One Exercise about Lagrange Multiplier

Three different solutions to one problem.

The temperature at a point $(x,y)$ on a metallic floor is $T(x,y)=4x^2-4xy+y^2$. Wearing thermocouples shoes that measures temperature, you walk along a circle of radius $5$ centered at the origin on the metallic floor. What are the highest and lowest temperatures measured by your shoes?
