Find the relative maxima, relative minima, and saddle points for the given functions. Determine whether the function has an absolute maximum or absolute minimum as well.

f(x,y)=x2y2f(x, y)=x^{2} y^{2}

Short Answer

Expert verified

Critical points are (x,0),(0,y)and local minima is(x,0),(0,y).

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given thatf(x,y)=x2y2

02

Finding critical points

The gradient of function is

∇f(x,y,z)=∂f∂xi+∂f∂yj

=2xy2i+2x2yj

The gradient vanishes at critical points ∇f(x,y)=0

⇒2xy2=0and 2x2y=0

The above equation is satisfied at point (x,0),(0,y)

Hence critical points are(x,0),(0,y)

03

Calculating local minima

The second derivative is ∂2f∂x2=2y2,∂2f∂y2=2x2,∂2f∂y∂x=4xy

The discriminate is Hf(x,y)=∂2f∂x2∂2f∂x2-∂2f∂y∂x2

=2y22x2-(4xy)2

=-12x2y2

At (x,0),(0,y),Hf=0, discriminate is of no use

As f(x,y)=x2y2, so(x,0),(0,y)is local minima

At other points,f(x,y)>0
