Given is a function f(x, y), with f(a, b) = fy (a, b) = fyy (a, b) = 0, fay (a, b) = 0 and all second order partial derivatives are continuous at the critical point (a, b). What can be said about the critical point using the second derivative test? The critical point is a local minimum. O The critical point is a local maximum. O The critical point is a saddle point. Nothing, as the second derivative test is inconclusive.
