Question: For F 1 ( x , y ) = 1 4 x 4 + x 2 y + y 2 and F 2 ( x

For F1(x,y)=14x4+x2y+y2 and F2(x,y)=x3+xy-x, find the second derivative matrices A1 and A2 :
A=[del2Fdelx2del2Fdelxdelydel2Fdelydelxdel2Fdely2]
A1 is positive definite, so F1 is concave up (= convex). Find the minimum point of F1 and the saddle point of F2(look where first derivatives are zero).
