Question: Consider the function U = (x - 1)2 + 3(y - 2)2. (a) By inspection, find its minimum. (b) Start at an arbitrary point x1,

Consider the function U = (x - 1)2 + 3(y - 2)2.
(a) By inspection, find its minimum.
(b) Start at an arbitrary point x1, y1 and show that the Newton-Raphson equation (15.72) with all partial derivatives evaluated exactly from U gives the minimum in one step.
