Question: For the function f ( x , y ) = 2 x ^ 2 - 2 xy + y ^ 2 - y + 3
For the function
fx yxxy y y
a Find any ordinary critical points and determine whether they are maxima, minima or saddle points.
b On the closed triangle R with vertices and find any possible local maxima or minima on the boundary of R
c Using the results from part a and b find the global absolute maximum and minimum of fx y and give the values of fx y at these points.
The second derivative test for fx y where d fxx and d det Hf
d and d: Local Minimum
d and d: Local Maximum
d : Saddle Point
d : Can't determine type by this method
