We are tasked with finding the maximum and minimum values of the function:

\[
f(x, y, z) = x^2 + 2y^2 + 3z^2
\]

subject to the two constraints:

\[
g_1(x, y, z) = x + y + z - 1 = 0
\]
and
\[
g_2(x, y, z) = x - y + 2z - 2 = 0.
\]

We'll use the method of Lagrange multipliers. To solve this, we introduce Lagrange multipliers \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\), and define the Lagrange function:

\[
\mathcal{L}(x, y, z, \lambda, \mu) = f(x, y, z) + \lambda (g_1(x, y, z)) + \mu (g_2(x, y, z)).
\]

This becomes:

\[
\mathcal{L}(x, y, z, \lambda, \mu) = x^2 + 2y^2 + 3z^2 + \lambda (x + y + z - 1) + \mu (x - y + 2z - 2).
\]

### Step 1: Compute the partial derivatives of \(\mathcal{L}\) with respect to \(x\), \(y\), \(z\), \(\lambda\), and \(\mu\).

1. \(\frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial x} = 2x + \lambda + \mu = 0\)
2. \(\frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial y} = 4y + \lambda - \mu = 0\)
3. \(\frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial z} = 6z + \lambda + 2\mu = 0\)
4. \(\frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial \lambda} = x + y + z - 1 = 0\)
5. \(\frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial \mu} = x - y + 2z - 2 = 0\)

Now we have the system of equations:

\[
2x + \lambda + \mu = 0 \quad (1)
\]
\[
4y + \lambda - \mu = 0 \quad (2)
\]
\[
6z + \lambda + 2\mu = 0 \quad (3)
\]
\[
x + y + z = 1 \quad (4)
\]
\[
x - y + 2z = 2 \quad (5)
\]

### Step 2: Solve the system of equations

We can begin solving this system by eliminating the Lagrange multipliers (\(\lambda\) and \(\mu\)) from equations (1), (2), and (3), then using (4) and (5) to solve for \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\).

### Tip:
When solving with Lagrange multipliers, always ensure that the constraints are properly defined and consistent.

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values and points (x,y,z) at which they occur, of f(x,y,z) = x^2 + 2y^2 + 3z^2 subject to the constraints x + y + z = 1 and x - y + 2z = 2.
