Question
Can you explain how to calculate the circled part step by step.

Transcribed Image Text:10. Find all critical points of the function
f (x, y) = x* – 8x² + 3y? – 6y.
and classify them as maximums, minimums, or saddle-point.
Solution.
• At a critical point
fr = 4x° – 16x =
= 0,
fy = 6y – 6 = 0.
If follows that y
= 1 and x = 0,±2 so the critical points of f are
(п, у) — (0, 1), (2, 1), (-2, 1).
• We have
fae = 12x? – 16,
fyy = 6,
fry = 0.
Hence
fra fyy – fay = (-16)(6) < 0
so f(x, y) has a saddle point at (0,1), and
at (x, y) = (0, 1)
faz fyy – fay = (32)(6) > 0,
at (x, y) = (±2, 1).
Since fyy > 0, f (x, y) has minima at (+2, 1).
