Question

Find and classify the critical points of $f(x, y) = -x^2y + 6x^2 + 2y^2 - 20y + 50$. For each type of behavior, enter a list of ordered pairs where the maximum/minimum/saddle point occurs. If there are no points where the behavior occurs, enter "DNE" f(x, y) has a local maximum at f(x, y) has a local minimum at f(x, y) has a saddle point at

Step 1

$f_x = -2xy + 12x = 0$ $f_y = -x^2 + 4y - 20 = 0$ From $f_x = 0$, we have $2x(-y + 6) = 0$, so $x = 0$ or $y = 6$. Show more…
