Question: A differentiable function f (x, y) has a saddle point at a point (a, b) where its partial derivatives are simultaneously zero, if in every

A differentiable function f (x, y) has a saddle point at a point (a, b) where its partial derivatives are simultaneously zero, if in every open disk centered at (a,b) there are domain points where f (x, y) > f (a, b) and domain points where f (x, y)

a. f(x, y) = x-y - 2xy +6

b. f(x, y)= 6x - 2x + 3y + 6xy

f(x, y) = x-y-2xy +6
