The function of 2 variables: 

f (x,y) = (5/2)x2 + 2xy - 12x + (3/2)y2 - 7y + (31/2) 

Has a stationary point at (2,1). At this stationary point, the Hessian matrix for f is: 

H = [5 2]

       [2 3] 

Which one of these options best describes the stationary point?

A. The stationary point is a saddle point
B. The stationary point is a local minimum
C. The stationary point is a local maximum
D. The nature of the stationary point cannot be determined by the Hessian matrix
