Explanation Critical points of the function are referred to points from its domain for which the derivative of the function is 0. Mathematically, we can say that d f d x ( x , y ) = 0 and d f d y ( x , y ) = 0 Given: A function f ( x , y ) = x 4 − 2 x 2 + y 2 − 6 y Formula Used: Second Derivative Test: Determinant of a function is given as D ( x , y ) = f x x ( x , y ) f y y ( x , y ) − ( f x y ( x , y ) ) 2 1. Maxima Point: If D ( a , b ) > 0 and f x x ( a , b ) > 0 , then ( a , b ) is a local maxima point 2. Minima Point: If D ( a , b ) > 0 and f x x f x x ( a , b ) < 0 , then ( a , b ) is a local minima point 3. Maxima Point: If D ( a , b ) < 0 then ( a , b ) is a Saddle point 4. If D ( a , b ) = 0 , the second derivative test is not decisive, and the point ( a , b ) can be any of a saddle, maxima or minima point. Calculation: The given function is f ( x , y ) = x 4 − 2 x 2 + y 2 − 6 y Derivative of the function is given as d y d x ( x , y ) = ( d f d x , d f d y ) f x = d d x ( x 4 − 2 x 2 + y 2 − 6 y ) = 4 x 3 − 4 x + ( 0 ) − 6 ( 0 ) = 4 x 3 − 4 x f y = d d y ( x 4 − 2 x 2 + y 2 − 6 y ) = (0) − 2 ( 0 ) + 2 y − 6 = 2 y − 6 Equating f x and f y equal to zero to get the critical points... To determine (b) Find the minimum value of the function f ( x , y ) = x 4 − 2 x 2 + y 2 − 6 y by completing the square
