(c) Suppose that D = 4ac – b². Without using the second derivative test: i. Suppose that D > 0 and a > 0. Show that f has a local minimum at (0,0). [Hint: Show that f(0,0) = 0. Use the fact that a and D are both positive to conclude that when x, y # 0, f(x, y) > 0.] ii. Suppose that D>0 and a < 0. Show that f has a local maximum at (0,0). iii. Finally, suppose that D < 0. Show that f has a saddle point. [Hint: Explain why the tangent plane at (0,0) has equation z = 0. We wish to show that f crosses this tangent plane, by showing there exist different paths for which f has opposite signs along those paths.]
