1. The document presents a function f(x,y) and its partial derivatives. It asks to determine local extrema and saddle points. 2. The partial derivatives fx and fy are given, as well as the candidates (x,y) that satisfy the first order conditions for local extrema/saddle points. 3. The second order partial derivatives fxx, fxy, and fyy are provided. It then asks to determine whether specific points (0,0) and (0,1) represent local extrema or saddle points based on the second order conditions.

A process is modelled as a function of two variables 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑥 3 + 2 𝑦 2 − 3𝑥𝑦 − 124.
1. Partial derivatives 𝑓𝑥 , 𝑓𝑦 are respectively: …
2. All candidates (𝑥, 𝑦) for local minimum/local maximum/saddle point are : …
3. Second order partial derivatives 𝑓𝑥𝑥 , 𝑓𝑥𝑦 , 𝑓𝑦𝑦 are respectively: …
4. At the point (0,0) function 𝑓 has:
5. At the point (0,1) function 𝑓 has:

Solution :
𝑓𝑥 = 3𝑥 2 + 0 − 3𝑦 + 0,
3
𝑓𝑦 = 0 + 2 ∙ 2𝑦 − 3𝑥 + 0.
So, b) is the right answer for #1
1st order conditions:
𝑓𝑥 = 3(𝑥 2 − 𝑦) = 0
𝑓𝑦 = 3𝑦 − 3𝑥 = 0 → 𝑦 = 𝑥 substitute in the first equation and get equation only in 𝑥
𝑥 2 − 𝑥 = 𝑥(𝑥 − 1) = 0 whose solutions are 𝑥1,2 = 0,1 → 𝑦1,2 = 𝑥1,2 = 0,1.
So, d) is the right answer for #2
2nd order conditions:
𝜕
𝑓𝑥𝑥 = 𝜕𝑥 (3𝑥 2 − 3𝑦) = 6𝑥,
𝜕
𝑓𝑥𝑦 = 𝜕𝑦 (3𝑥 2 − 3𝑦) = −3,
𝜕
𝑓𝑦𝑦 = 𝜕𝑦 (3𝑦 − 3𝑥) = 3.
So, a) is the right answer for #3
Point (0,0) is the critical point (𝑥1 , 𝑦1 ):
∆(0,0) = 𝑓𝑥𝑥 ∙ 𝑓𝑦𝑦 − 𝑓𝑥𝑦 2 = 0 ∙ 3 − 9 < 0. So, c) is the right answer for #4.
Point (0,1)
The point is not among critical points, so, d) (nothing from above) is the right answer for #5

3
𝑓𝑦 = 0 + 2 ∙ 2𝑦 + 3𝑥 + 0.
So, b) is the right answer for #1
1st order conditions:
𝑓𝑥 = 𝑥 2 + 3𝑦 + 2 = 0
𝑓𝑦 = 3𝑦 + 3𝑥 = 0 → 𝑦 = −𝑥 substitute in the first equation and get equation only in 𝑥
𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 + 2 = 0 whose solutions are 𝑥1,2 = 1,2 → 𝑦1,2 = −𝑥1,2 = −1, −2.
So, d) is the right answer for #2
2nd order conditions:
𝜕
𝑓𝑥𝑥 = 𝜕𝑥 (𝑥 2 + 3𝑦 + 2) = 2𝑥,
𝜕
𝑓𝑥𝑦 = 𝜕𝑦 (𝑥 2 + 3𝑦 + 2) = 3,
𝜕
𝑓𝑦𝑦 = 𝜕𝑦 (3𝑦 + 3𝑥) = 3
So, a) is the right answer for #3
Point (1,1):
The point is not among critical points, so, d) (nothing from above) is the right answer for #4
Point (2,-2) is the critical point (𝑥2 , 𝑦2 ):
∆(2, −2) = 𝑓𝑥𝑥 ∙ 𝑓𝑦𝑦 − 𝑓𝑥𝑦 2 = 4 ∙ 3 − 9 > 0, and
𝑓𝑥𝑥 (2, −2) = 4 > 0, so (2, −2) is a local minimum of and a) is the right answer for #5
