### Critical Points Classification: Analyzing f(x,y)

#### Problem Statement
Find and classify (local maximum, local minimum, saddle point) all critical points of the function:

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

Show all supporting work to completely justify your responses.

#### Task Outline
1. **Find the Partial Derivatives**: Compute the first-order partial derivatives of \( f(x,y) \) with respect to \( x \) and \( y \).
2. **Solve for Critical Points**: Set these partial derivatives equal to zero and solve for \( x \) and \( y \).
3. **Classify the Critical Points**: Use second-order partial derivatives and the second derivative test to classify each critical point found.

Use detailed step-by-step calculations and ensure all solutions are justified logically and mathematically.

#### Detailed Solution Steps
1. **Compute \( f_x(x,y) = \frac{\partial f}{\partial x} \)**
   \[
   f_x(x,y) = \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x^2 - x^2y + 2y^2)
   \]

2. **Compute \( f_y(x,y) = \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} \)**
   \[
   f_y(x,y) = \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x^2 - x^2y + 2y^2)
   \]

3. **Find Critical Points**
   \[
   f_x(x,y) = 0
   \]
   \[
   f_y(x,y) = 0
   \]

4. **Second Partial Derivatives**
   \[
   f_{xx}(x,y) = \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2}
   \]
   \[
   f_{yy}(x,y) = \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y^2}
   \]
   \[
   f_{xy}(x,y) = \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial y}
   \]

5. **Second Derivative Test**:
   \[
   D = f_{xx}(a,b)f_{yy}(a,b) - [f_{xy}(a,b)]^2
   \]
   - If \( D > 0 \) and \(
