Good morning. Please help me to solve this exercise in as much detail as possible. Explaining step by step. This is a mathematical economics exercise that seeks to maximize a function. Thank you very much.

Given the function f(x,y) = x²+y²+2xy-8x-8y defined on the set
D = {(x, y) = R²: (x − 2)² ≤ y ≤ x}
-
a. Can it be concluded directly (by examining f and D) whether f reaches a maximum and
minimum in D?
b. Derive the conditions of the Kuhn-Tucker theorem for the problema and find its solution:
max
f(x, y) = x² + y² + 2xy - 8x − 8y
s.a.
(x-2)² ≤ y
y≤ x
