Question: [ 1 5 ] Find the critical point ( s ) of f ( x , y ) = - x 2 - 2 x

[15] Find the critical point(s) of f(x,y)=-x2-2xy13y3-3y then use the Second Partials Test to classify each as a local maximum, local minimum, or saddle point. (If the test is inconclusive, state that instead.)
Second Partials Test: Let f have continuous second partial derivatives on an open region containing a point (a,b) for which f(a,b)=0 and f(a,b)=0. To test for relative extrema, consider the quantity
d=far(a,b)fyr(a,b)-[for(a,b)]2
If d>0 and f(a,b)>0, then f has a relative minimum at (a,b).
If d>0 and fax(a,b)0, then f has a relative maximum at (a,b).
If d0, then (a,b,f(a,b)) is a saddle point.
If d=0 the test is incoeslusive.
