Part a
Define the following
- i. Local/Relative Maximum: A function has a local maximum at a point if for all points in an open disk centered at .
- ii. Local/Relative Minimum: A function has a local minimum at a point if for all points in an open disk centered at .
- iii. Critical Point: A point is a critical point of a function if its first partial derivatives and are both equal to zero, or if one or both of the partial derivatives do not exist at .
Part b
Find and classify the relative extrema for the function .
Find the first partial derivatives of .
Set the partial derivatives to zero to find critical points.
Substitute (2) into (1):
Then .
The only critical point is .Use the Second Derivative Test to classify the critical point.
First, find the second partial derivatives:
Calculate the discriminant :
Since , the critical point is a saddle point.
Therefore, there are no relative maxima or minima for the function .The relative extrema are:
Part c13
