Use the Second Derivative Test to prove that if \((a, b)\) is a critical point
of \(f\) at which \(f_{x}(a, b)=f_{y}(a, b)=0\) and \(f_{x x}(a, b)<0
Describe the set of all points at which all three planes \(x+3 z=3, y+4 z=6,\) and \(x+y+6 z=9\) intersect.
Let \(P\) be a plane tangent to the ellipsoid \(x^{2} / a^{2}+y^{2} / b^{2}+z^{2} / c^{2}=1\) at a point in the first octant. Let \(T\) be the tetrahedron in the first octant bounded by \(P\) and the coordinate planes \(x=0, y=0\), and \(z=0 .\) Find the minimum volume of \(T .\) (The volume of a tetrahedron is one-third the area of the base times the height.)
Find the points (if they exist) at which the following planes and curves intersect. $$8 x+15 y+3 z=20 ; \quad \mathbf{r}(t)=\langle 1, \sqrt{t},-t\rangle, \text { for } t>0$$
Production functions Economists model the output of manufacturing systems using production functions that have many of the same properties as utility functions. The family of Cobb-Douglas production functions has the form \(P=f(K, L)=C K^{a} L^{1-a},\) where K represents capital, L represents labor, and C and a are positive real numbers with \(0
