Expert Solution
Step 1

The stationary points are calculated by solving the equations, fx=0 , fy=0 together.

The discriminant, is calculated using the formula, D=fxxfyy-fxy2 . For any point, x,y , if D>0, then it is an extrema and if D<0, then it is a saddle point.

If D>0 and fxx>0, then the point is a minima and if D>0 and fxx<0, then the point is a maxima.
