Problem 1(24 pts )(a)(6 pts ) Is the function f(x1,x2) given below coercive? Please justify.f(x1,x2)=12x12(x221)2x1x212log(1x22)(b)(12 pts) Determine whether the function f(x1,x2)=x12-2x1x2212x24 is coercive. Then find the stationary points of f and classify them (strict/nonstrict local/global minimum/maximum or a saddle point).
