Extremes of the function in a certain set
$begingroup$
I need to find the extreme values of a function $$f(x,y,z)=x^2+y^2+z^2$$ on the set $S={(x,y,z) in mathbb R^3: z=xy+2}$.
Set $S$ is not compact, so we cannot be sure the local extrema exist. Guess I'd need to use differentiation, but not sure how.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is a typical usage of Lagrange's multipliers. You should look for some reference on it but to make it short, every extremum $X = (x,y,z)$ on $S$ will satisfy $Df_X = lambda Dg_X$ and $g(X) = 0$ where $g$ is the function defining your set $g(x) = xy + 2 - z$ (it is a necessary condition, not a sufficient one). So solve this equation and check each solution you find one by one. PS : D is the differential, you can replace it by the gradiant and this will work the same

I do not think Lagrange multiplier is at all needed , just substitute z in the expression to get an explicit formula for f in terms of x,y and then make the gradient zero (one thing to check is whether the function is differentiable but in this case this is not an issue as it can be seen easily the function is differentiable)

By AM-GM $$x^2+y^2+z^2=x^2+y^2+(2+xy)^2geq2|xy|+x^2y^2+4xy+4geq$$
$$geq2|xy|+x^2y^2-4|xy|+4=left(|xy|-1right)^2+3geq3.$$
The equality occurs for $|xy|=1$ and $|xy|=-xy$, id est, for $(x,y)=(1,-1)$ for example,
which says that $3$ is a minimal value of $f$.
The maximum does not exist, of course.
