Transcribed Image Text:(i) Find the critical points of the function f(x) = x³ + x² - 2x+1 and characterize them. Sketch
a graph of the function. Find also the absolute minimum in the domain -2 ≤ x ≤ 1.
(ii) Make a contour plot of the function z(x, y) = -xy in the xy-plane, by drawing a collection of
curves z(x, y) = c for different (positive and negative) values of the constant c. Try and sketch a
graph of the function in the space of xyz coordinates (as a check you may want to compare that
sketch with a computer/Python graph).
